Same as track #9 on disc#3, but un-edited. Not having played this song in some time (it was a request), Bruce forgot both the tuning and the lyrics. The performance was otherwise too good not to edit, but for purists and the curious, this track is the unedited version, so you can see how gracefully it was handled. This is also unprocessed, so you can compare it to the other version if you are curious about what was done in “remastering.”

In August 1979, the Lutheran Student Movement – Canada National Study Conference was held at Hastings Lake, Alberta — a church camp near Edmonton. The theme of the conference was “Darkness, Fire and Whispered Stories: Creative Expressions of the Good News.” Invited speakers on this topic of “faith and art” included a potter who worked at his wheel while speaking about God as a creative artist; a film maker who spoke of faith dimensions within her craft — and Bruce Cockburn.
Bruce gave a 2-night, annotated concert. He sang his songs and told stories about how they came to be written. Throughout the concert he responded to questions from the audience of university students. In the afternoons, he gave guitar workshops, teaching interested students some of the tricks of the trade.
1979 was the summer of “Dancing in the Dragon’s Jaws” and “Wondering Where the Lions Are”.
Was the concert wonderful? Have a listen! –Stephen Larsen
Excellent Quality.
