After 50 years of hit making and with international album sales well into the multi-millions,Gordon Lightfoot is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time. A lifetime spent performing live with his band,Gordon Lightfoot singled out London's Royal Albert Hall as one of his favourite venues to play, and recorded his seventh appearance there in concert on May 24, 2016. In the final weeks prior to his passing on May 1, 2023, Gordon Lightfoot insisted that this live album be released as soon as possible, approving the artwork and making it clear that no changes were to be made to the recording. The double album set is an unembellished live mix of that nights' performance, without edits, overdubs, remixing or re-sequencing. It captures every song performed in the order they were played, right down to the encore, by Gordon and his band - Rick Haynes on bass, Barry Keane on drums, Mike Heffernan on keys, and Carter Lancaster on guitar. It features Lightfoot's best-known hits, and songs never previously appearing on a live album.
