I was fortunate enough to see this tribute concert. A remarkable and highly talented group of musicians performed much of ND's work with great sincerity and reverence. It is a shame that his outstanding contribution to music is not given more exposure. Nick's compositions are hauntingly beautiful. It would be fantastic if Joe Boyd could release the concert on double CD or DVD?

I probably speak for a great many ND fans when I say I would cut off my big toe just to hear him sing these songs. Concerts like this are wonderful and to see his music played with the appropriate accompianment and atmosphere which is the way he wanted it played and unfortunately couldnt replicate in his time is a pleasure but Im sure wouldve given him great joy. Sad story of a truly tortured musical genius.

can you get this concert on dvd?

[wayneclancy1]

@777i2i Afraid not - the BBC did broadcast it though on BBC4, so it might be repeated at some point...

[777i2i]

@wayneclancy1 - thanks - yes i recorded it - and im going to see the concert in manchester - but this would make a great blu ray

@777i2i and what a concert that was tonight

[777i2i]

@efcgarv - excellent concert - i haven't been into nick drake for long - i heard a few of his songs in passing - but its only recently with the help of this tour that i've listened to his songs properly - what a find
