Customer Reviews:
Caravan's best live album.......2002-01-19
It comes from radio broadcasts between 1970 and 1974. The first six tracks are very early material from the first three albums. They are short, energetic and a lot of fun. The remaining tracks from the 1973-4 period. They are longer, stretched out versions. They are still played with a lot of energy. Many of the tracks have more of a jazzy feel than the studio versions. In some cases, the viola becomes very dominant. And there are great guitar solos and nice interplay between the viola and guitar.
When I first saw this ablum, I thought, "oh no, not another version of For Richard. Every single Caravan live album has For Richard on it. But this turns out to be probably the best version of For Richard on record.
I think that this is Caravan's best live album. It is strong throughout, without a weak track (except maybe Virgin on the Ridiculous). What really makes it special is the early live recordings that aren't available anywhere else.
The other really good Caravan live album is the reunion album from 1990, called "Live". BBC Radio 1 and the Best Of Caravan Live are also OK. I have listened to the New Symponia album mnay, many times, but I could never really get into it. Steer clear of any of the later live albums, like Canterbury Comes to London or Live at the Astoria. There is a companion album to Songs for Olbivaion Fisherman called Ether way. It picks up at 1975 and goes through 1977. I haven't heard it, yet.
