After 50 years of hit making and with international album sales well into the multi-millions, Gordon Lightfoot&nbsp;is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest singer-songwriters of all time.

Inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2012, his songs have been recorded by Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Eric Clapton, and Barbara Streisand. His own recordings of "Early Morning Rain," "If You Could Read My Mind," "Carefree Highway", "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and "Sundown" are still among the most performed songs on radio in North America.

A lifetime spent performing live with his band,Gordon Lightfoot&nbsp;singled out London's&nbsp;Royal Albert Hall&nbsp;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&nbsp;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, including "The Watchman's Gone", "Sea of Tranquility", "Now And Then","All The Lovely Ladies", "Drifters","Beautiful", "Did She Mention My Name", "SweetGuinevere", "Never Too Close", "Don Quixote", "Minstrel of the Dawn", "I'd Rather Press On" and "Waiting For You".
