Synopsis

Album Description

Recorded in early 1974 at Ebbets Field in Denver, Colorado, this particular line-up of Fairport Convention, which included the recent addition of Sandy Denny back in the band for the second time, was just about coming to its peak. This limited edition 2 disc set features 2 shows, each on a separate disc. The second disc is presented in mono to provide a more even listening experience due to the ravages of time on the master tape. Sleeve notes feature exclusive interview with Dave Pegg recalling the shows.

CD Reviews

A Classic Fairport show finally available

PHILIP S WOLF | SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA. USA | 01/14/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"These two CD's are a welcome treat for Fairport Convention fans. This line-up includes Sandy Denny back on board and is one of the very best of countless Fairport's ever captured on tape. Recorded live in Colorado in 1974 this tape has traded hands among collectors for many years and thanks to Dave Pegg this release has now been made available. This is a jammier Fairport than by today's standards but remember this recording is from another era. Trevor Lucas shares vocal duties with wife sandy and many of his tunes shine as brightly as her's. The inclusion of "Bring Em' Down" is worth the purchase price alone. This tune features a cosmic instrumental section featuring Swarb's fiddle doing things that would make the Grateful Dead green with envy. A epic version of "Sloth" is also a keeper. The jig's & reels are here and lot's of Sandy's songs as well. This is a very enjoyable listen for fan's, and I would give these Disc's more stars if the sound quality was better. That said if you enjoy Fairport these disc's will be a welcome addition to your collection."
