'''''Sunday Concert''''' is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's first solo live album, released in 1969 on the United Artists label. Lightfoot's last recording for United Artists, it was also his first live album and until the release of a live DVD in 2002 remained Lightfoot's only officially released live recording. The album was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto.
The album is notable as it includes performances of five previously unreleased tracks. It also contains the first recording of Lightfoot's hits "I'm Not Sayin'" and "Ribbon of Darkness" together as a medley. This medley would later feature on ''Gord's Gold'' and would become a concert staple. "Ballad of Yarmouth Castle" chronicles the fate of the SS ''Yarmouth Castle'' which caught fire and sank off the Bahamas in November, 1965.
A 1993 CD reissue on Bear Family Records includes five studio recordings as bonus tracks.
