Wow, they formed the band in '68-'69. Didn't realize they were that old.

These days all of the bands from my youth are older than dirt.

If not for The Kid turning me on to some newer music, I would be in the same boat...

So I went back Friday and listened to a bunch of Lighthouse. Also ran across some good covers of Lighthouse tunes. Santana has a great one. Moved on to some Bob McBride solo work. It was all very enjoyable and educational.
Thank you for posting this.

Reunion concerts early 80's, they played four days at the Ontario Place Forum. In those times, concerts at the Ontario Place Forum were free, only had to pay admission to get into the park.
An early member of the band, Howard Shore playing alto sax, later moving on to SNL and composing movie soundtracks.
Yeah, I was playing some Lighthouse on the weekend.
