Chapman recorded for Harvest and Deram Records for whom he set out an impressive stall of tough, moody and occasionally melancholic songs, strong on melody and lyrically rich. This live set from 1977 is something of a find, catching the man with a truncated version of his touring band (hence the title) at full steam. An acclaimed guitarist, Chapman shares the stage with comparable talents in Lindisfarne bassist Rod Clements and a legendary drummer in Keef Hartley. The result is a meaty, FX-fuelled rock out (with bags of spacey reverb) covering some of his best known songs including 'Kodak Ghosts', 'Dog's Got More Sense', 'It Didn't Work Out' and 'In The Valley', skilfully fleshed out by the trio who have clearly been on the road together for some time as evidenced in a tight, well-drilled performance. The booklet notes reflect that this was 'no pick-up band band, playing folk with amps, but a three headed beast of equals'. Spot on.

excellent live performance
17 July 2010
Format:Audio CD
this is an excellent live performance by michael chapman. it is a live show from july of '77. a great selection of pieces, my favorites are; In the Valley and Kodak Ghosts. i've always enjoyed michael's playing and singing. some might consider him an acquired taste, but i find his style of folk music very soothing. informative liner notes discuss his musical history/journey. as the title states, this is a 3 piece line up with micheal on guitar, keef hartley (john mayall) on drums, and rod clements (lindisfarne) on bass. this cd would appeal to both fans and people who want to check out his music.
