2.0 out of 5 stars It's not live 29 Jan 2004
By "rwarmy"
Format:Audio CD
The reviewer below mentions that this doesn't really sound like a live album. That's because it isn't!!!

Fairport owed Island a live album and without time to schedule any concerts merely recorded in the studio and then overdubbed applause from a John Martyn live recording.

They're still decent versions and any Fairport is better than no Fairport - but for the definitive live sound of the group get Housefull

5.0 out of 5 stars A very special Christmas present 6 Jan 2013

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very dear friend was actually present at this concert and can be viewed in the crowd on the cover. I was running out of ideas for pressies and he was chuffed to bits with this. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars The best live album I've ever heard 8 Oct 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I've never been the biggest fan of Fairport Convention, especially the early stuff, and find the studio albums a bit clinical and lacking in atmosphere. However, in concert, they just get better and better, and this album is as good as they come, I bought it many years ago and still play it frequently. Combining some old favourites like 'Reynard the Fox' and 'Crazy Man Michael', with newer work like 'The Hiring Fair' (OK, it's not that new any more) it shows Fairport at their best. On the negative side I have still never heard a version of 'Widow of Westmorland's Daughter' where I could understand the lyrics, and why there is a studio version of 'Meet on the Ledge' at the end is beyond me. Unlike most live albums the crowd noise is subdued, so it plays more like a studio album, which may not suite every taste, but I reckon that if you only want one Fairport album, this should be the one.
