Digitally remastered edition of Fairport Convention's live album from
1974, augmented with five bonus tracks: "Hexhamshire Lass", "Polly On
The Shore", "Bring Em Down", "Far From Me" and "That'll Be The Day", all
were recorded live at the Sydney Opera House January 26, 1974. Initial
quantites come in a limited edition slip case.
The presence of
Sandy Denny raises expectations for the group's first released live
album. Recorded on the band's 1973 world tour, it features songs such as
"Matty Groves" and "Sloth," as well as the Swarbrick instrumental
"Fiddlestix," their then current single "Rosie," and a nod to the
group's origins as interpreters of American rock & roll and
folk-rock, in the form of Dylan's "Down in the Flood" and Chris Kenner's
"Something You Got." Denny's solo abilities are showcased on "John the
Gun." As the only live document of Denny with the band, this
record is vital to Fairport completists."
