FAIRPORT CONVENTION LIVE " TAM LIN" rare audio Chicago 1975

A fairly decent fan recording from the early show at the Amazing Grace Cafe in Chicago. This was a stop on the "Rising for the Moon" tour, which reunited Sandy Denny with the Fairport .

Amazing Grace was anything but a pub. Excellent listening room however just north of Chicago in Evanston with a very esoteric booking policy and very low prices, I will bet this show was somewhere between 3 and 5 dollars.

Sweet. What a loss affordable cocerts are! I would have liked to see Neil Young recently...about $150. after TicketMaster finished raping it's slaves.

Happily, good bands are often out of the limelight.....

Thanks for this wonderful performance of the Angel of Avalon. Was just thinking to visit Sandy's graveside in London again so, with your leave, can I make a copy of it ? It will be wonderful to listen to when I drive to Putney Vale.

@celticludo Sorry i never wrote you.....heck yeah, it's put up for you.

I wonder if anyone ever brought a ( botanical society named? ) Sandy Denny lily to her grave? It is pictured on the right lower corner of the collage.

very good recording and shows Ms D and live interpretations. Alas, her voice suffered in touring. Still, I, among the many, miss her and curse the indulgences that led to her fall. Music lasts forever.

Agreed, totally superb performance, Sandy was such a loss to music. Life can be so arbitrary!

What an incredible performance! One really has the sense of her communing with the feral, ferocious Faery powers ... in the middle of a crowded Chicago pub! What an artist!
