Time to retire
Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary
Sorry but when the voice is gone, it's time to retire. Also, watching a fussy senior onstage is not enjoyable. Great supporting band, but what's the point if his voice is a whisper? Also, if you need oxygen administered onstage, why are you touring?

Music was good, vocals a bit rough
Grey Eagle Event Centre - Calgary
Enjoyed the evening, but his vocals were rough in many places. The band did a great job with the music. Probably time for him to give up touring.

Disappointing
River Cree Resort & Casino - Enoch
I get it he is 84, and I should expect something less than when he was 34. We went to the Eagles a month earlier and really enjoyed that concert, they are in their 70’s. Anyways we will know better for next time. Songs seemed to be cut short and hard to follow his story at times, his thoughts just feel off their track. Two concerts on back to back nights a little much for an 84 year old performer.

Ageless Songbook, but Aged Performance
Club Regent Event Centre - Winnipeg
The songs played from the huge Lightfoot songbook are truly classics, in fact they seem “ageless”. Unfortunately, Father Time has not been kind to Gordon’s health and voice. I admire Gordon’s spirit and will to put on a concert but it is a bit difficult to watch such a Canadian icon struggle to deliver the messages. Great Venue, Great Band

Wpg Concert
Club Regent Event Centre - Winnipeg
This was our first visit to the casino venue. We were very impressed with the facility. The band that accompanied Lightfoot was very good. We knew that the gentleman was old and that we didn't expect to hear the voice of a young man but this was very poor. When a singer can't have the words come out of their mouth it is time to quit. The man is a legend, but he should retire gracefully.

Disappointed!
Club Regent Event Centre - Winnipeg
The venue is great for concerts and shows and I've been to many here. I was very disappointed in the Gordon Lightfoot show. I realize he's old but I've been to see some older performers before and they can still put on a pretty good show so I was expecting much of the same, especially since he's on tour! It was great to hear his music but he as soon as he started singing I knew this wasn't going to be very enjoyable. He was out of breath on all songs so he wasn't able to sing properly. He admitted he has emphysema and obviously that's the reason. I think there will be more disappointed fans out there once they go to his shows. I will give him an "E" for Effort though, but he really shouldn't be touring any longer. The fans were great though and gave him standing ovations, something he deserves for sure for being a music great! I wish him well.

Not great.
River Cree Resort & Casino - Enoch
The staff were amazing and the venue was well organized. Unfortunately we could not see the stage as seating was on one level, we had to look at the big screens. Might as well stay home on watch a concert on U-Tube or other. Gordon Light should probably retire, he no longer has the ability to reach the high notes and he was rather forgettable. I admire his determination to get out there. I wish I had seen him in his younger days. Money not well spent on this concert.

Gordo after one year delay
Club Regent Event Centre - Winnipeg
i've always loved hearing and seeing Gord in concert. this last show his voice was pretty much gone. He should have had some backup singers to fill in the gaps when singing. the band sounded great!

Lightfoot
Club Regent Event Centre - Winnipeg
The band sounded great. Gordon did his best with what he has left. We routed for him. My friend had a great idea. Gordon should be touring with backup singers. He is so frail. He is a tough bugger 👍
