Gordon Lightfoot - Hamilton, Canada 09-09-06

วันพุธที่ 21 เมษายน พ.ศ. 2553 § 0

Canadian music legend Gordon Lightfoot performs "unplugged" versions, without a microphone but with a battery-operated Pignose amp, of his classic "If You Could Read My Mind," along with "Diamond Joe," at the "L'Aquila Is In My Heart" Art Exhibition, at the Michelangelo Banquet Centre in Hamilton, Canada on September 6, 2009. Lightfoot agreed to lend his support to the event, which raised funds for earthquake relief in Aquila, Italy, upon the request of sculptor Gino Cavicchioli, who also unveiled a larger-than-life-sized bust of Lightfoot later in the afternoon. (Watch for another YouTube clip for that footage.) Note especially during "Diamond Joe" how Lightfoot turns to play personally for a gentleman seated at a table behind him. The man, battling a dangerous form of cancer, made the trip in especially from Quebec to see and meet his idol. A moving moment. (Unfortunately, word came in a couple of weeks after this performance that the gentleman had passed away.) After the day's events, Lightfoot stayed for a good hour-and-a-half posing for every picture and signing every autograph request that came his way. A class act.
