Fairport Convention :: Royal Festival Hall, 1969-1970

Fairport Convention got together in 1967, and somehow managed to cram several lifetimes into the next couple years. Lineup changes, horrible tragedies, stylistic shifts — and of course, a heap of inarguably classic albums. Listening into live recordings made at London’s Royal Festival Hall from the spring of 1969 through the winter of 1970 gives us a hazy-but-remarkable glimpse of the ever-evolving group as they fearlessly fused dusty folk with pure electricity.
