This haunting classic which sets the perfect tone of depth and purpose. Lightfoot is indeed one of the most profound lyricists of his time, describing feelings with words that speak metaphors of ghosts and movie stars bringing to life his view in a way few could.

Gordon Lightfoot - what a man - singing the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Warning: Just before the song ends the video cuts out because one of the ushers, apparently thinking that I was going to snap a picture with my camera, made me put it away - but man, there ain't no substitute for live, even if cut short.

My second (and last) recording of Gordon Lightfoot's performance at the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium on October 12th, 2006. This song also inconveniently stops due to the length of the recording time allowed by the camera. Also, the video is out of sync again with the audio only after uploading. It's a great sampler, nonetheless. Enjoy!
