Fairport Convention
Live Fillmore East 1970
Fairport Convention's attempt to reinvigorate traditional English folk music succeeded against a cultural backdrop of
loud guitars and nascent stadium rock similar to the folk revival across the Atlantic. With 'Liege & Lief' having given
the band a foothold at home and in America, their next album 'Full House' would have to work harder to consolidate on
the success, with the absence of Sandy Denny's vocal charisma and two new members. History has of course taught us that
this revised line-up would become the definitive version and 'Full House' would become their most widely acclaimed album
before Richard Thompson opted to move out. Touring across the USA with Jethro Tull at Fillmore West and Traffic and Mott
The Hoople at Fillmore East, Fairport's US trek saw a revitalised band eager to please and comfortable in its own skin,
and after 5 albums in the space of 2 years, that was a rarity. London Calling revisits the first and last night of their
celebrated
3 nightly run at the Fillmore East in June 1970. Presented with a fully restored and professionally remastered original
WNEW-FM
broadcast, this special edition also features background notes and timeline photos.
