Fairport Convention, Alive in America 1974,
LP Renaissance Records 2023 - RDEGLP 799
Renaissance Records' "Alive
in America" collection dedicates a new release to the 1974 version of
Fairport Convention: the band saw the return of Sandy Denny (lead
vocals and piano) alongside her husband Trevor Lucas (guitar and
vocals), Dave Swarbrick (violin and vocals), Jerry Donahue (lead
guitar), Dave Pegg (bass and backing vocals) and Dave Mattacks (drums
and percussion). Compared to the official '74 "Fairport Live
Convention" album there are some differences, and in particular the
inclusion of a version of Denny's signature song, "Who Know Where The
Time Goes?", who from her solo repertoire also brings with
her "John The Gun", "It'll Take a Long Time" and "Down In The Flood"
sharing the center of the stage with Swarbrick's devilish violin.
