Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Live Footage Studio Version)

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a 1976 hit song written, composed, and performed by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot to commemorate the sinking of the bulk carrier SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975. Lightfoot drew his inspiration from Newsweek's article on the event, "The Cruellest Month", which it published in its November 24, 1975, issue. Lightfoot considers this song to be his finest work.

With no official promotional "video clip" ever being released (at least that we know of), here's the next best thing? A mixture of live concert material with some documentary-based fillers combined nicely with the original studio audio. Hope you enjoy :-)
