Gordon Lightfoot - Live in Reno description Live in Reno is a solid overview of an admirable career, even if this Gordon Lightfoot is not what he once was. The singer-songwriter, 61 when the 90-minute show was recorded in April 2000, looks gaunt, and his distinctive voice is on the frail side. Still, he has accumulated a remarkable catalog of material over the course of some four decades, and nearly all of the biggies are among the 22 songs performed here by Lightfoot and his four-piece band, from the early classics popularized by other artists ("For Lovin' Me," "Early Morning Rain") to his own best-known hits ("If You Could Read My Mind," "Sundown," "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"). There are no theatrics or flashy production values, just a group of middle-aged men playing their music--and playing it well. So even if it's not especially exciting, fans will be satisfied. --Sam Graham |

| Gordon Lightfoot obviously is not the singer he was in the 1970s. His more recent albums have been less than successful, but he does perform all the songs that made him famous and a standard on AM radio in its heyday. His voice no longer is the baritone it once was, but he still gives every once of energy he can. This is a good compilation of his hits and he and his band do them all justice.
I've seen him in concert and in this performance he does not engage the audience with talk that he once did. Perhaps this is by design, but it would have been nice to show others what this man can be like in concert. After 40 years performing, Gordon Lightfoot is not burned out. |
