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

 Rare Lightfoot concert December 3, 2008
J. Best (West Milford, NJ)
Like many people from my generation, I am a longtime fan of Gordon Lightfoot. While I never got to hear him live in his prime, I did get to one of his concerts around the time that this video was made. This video is excellent and showcases many of Lightfoots best work with the band he's played with forever!
Live At Last! November 30, 2008
Stefaan Margory (Ostend, Belgium)
Since the early 7ties Gordon has been on my 'Most Wanted Ones To Watch Live" list. Living in Belgium didn't make that one easy :-) I'm quite sure he never came over here. In the Sundow days most artist didn't. Now the "Rock Werchter" 3 day rockfest is voted as "World's Best". Things change, that's for sure. So did Gordon. "Ooh doesn't he look old" was my first reaction watching this Reno concert.A look in the mirror kept the shock away, so I watched G. and the band play. This DVD is more than I thought it would be. I've seen a great writer and performer, handling his great songs with the love and respect they deserve! Always Good, sometimes Fantastic! Thanks Gord, it's Cold On The Shoulder and I love it!
 Not worth the money November 10, 2008

I ordered this item from Amazon and got it in due time. I tried to download it to my computer, which has all the programs necessary to do such a task. It will not play or download to the computer. I tried playing it on my regular entertainment system, which is also equiped to play these DVDs. It will not load and play. I don't know what I need to do to make this DVD play but I'm quite tired of trying...sending it back.

Pure delight July 13, 2008
Bill Washburne (Danvers, Ma.)
Gordon Lightfoot Live in reno is simply delightful. It captures the essence of this great singing poet and is a true joy to watch. A blend of many of his songs from his long career, this DVD is quite typical of his live performance. A great view and listen for the Lightfoot fan to savor.
