Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A great live set!.......2006-05-17

Recorded at the legendary Glasgow Apollo on November 8th, 1981 as Chris toured in support of the compilation album "Best Moves", "River Sessions" catches Chris at a critical point in his career. After nearly 7 years of nonstop recording and touring, he is clearly on the cusp of becoming a headlining act. The following year, he released his seminal album "The Getaway", which galvanized his following in Europe and Canada, and the single "Don't Pay the Ferryman" became his first venture into the US Top 40.

"The River Sessions" features one of the earliest appearances of the musicians that would become Chris's touring band for the next 14 years, and the set list features some tracks - especially from the 1980 album "Eastern Wind" - that are rarely heard live (even as Chris continues to tour into 2006).

The second disc features an interview and two solo studio performances recorded at Radio Clyde in Glasgow on February 3rd, 1979.

A great live set!
