Gordon Lightfoot Returns to Stage
Gordon Lightfoot returned to the stage for his first full concert since a near fatal aneurism. The concert was a benefit for McMaster University Medical Centre where Lightfoot was treated.
Halfway through his 80-minute show, Lightfoot paused to personally thank Dr. Michael Marcaccio, the surgeon who performed several operations on him during a 13-week period in the fall of 2002. “I had a wonderful experience there,” Lightfoot said before playing Sundown, with its “I’m feeling no pain” chorus. “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it’s a family atmosphere there…. “Thank you, everyone at McMaster.”
