Title: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Staffan on February 28, 2011, 08:06:57 PM This download album is being discussed on the Sandy Denny list.
I look at my "Before The Moon" double CD and wonder if this is a "new" compilation of the Btm material and if it will be released as an ordinary CD. Does anyone have more info? Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: John From Austin on February 28, 2011, 08:34:43 PM I assume what's being discussed re: FC with SD at Ebbets field, is this title at amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Ebbets-Field-Fairport-Convention-Sandy/dp/B004N06E3K
It looks like an abbreviated version of "Before the Moon," with some tunes from both sets. Without comparing, I already note that it omits "Bring 'em Down" and, of course, only presents one version of the songs they performed in both sets. There does also exist a bootleg called Sandy Denny - Solo in Denver, April 1973, with the following songs: Late November; The Music Weaver; It Suits Me Well; Bushes and Briars; The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood; The Sea Captain; At the End of the Day; John the Gun This, too, was recorded at Ebbet's Field. I've never seen or heard this but only read about it. Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Chris on February 28, 2011, 08:45:22 PM This website says the recording is from May 22/23, 1974. My copy of “Before The Moon” says "early 1974.”

If anyone finds out it's not previously released stuff, then please pipe up!

It wasn't Sandy's finest hour. As a contributor to the Sandy list rightly says, hers is a "drunken and often sloppy performance".

Presumably he's happy with his guitar parts. ???

Has anyone compared the samples on the above website to BTM?

Jules Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Chris on March 23, 2011, 10:07:45 AM The considered opinion on the Sandy list is that they're the same tracks - but remastered by Jerry Donahue.

Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Jamie on March 23, 2011, 12:03:20 PM Hmmm. Just had a listen to the sample of Down In The Flood and compared it to the BTM version. To my ears they sound like completely different performances. Maybe Jerry has gone through the two(?) shows and made different selections.
Isn't anyone in touch with Jerry? I'm sure he'd just tell us what's new, if we asked nicely!

BTM was a 2-CD set (or at least my copy was). There were two versions of Down In The Flood on there. The one on the new album is one of them. Clearly the second performance of the night, as Sandy begins by saying "I'll try to sing it differently this time" - then proceeds to ham it up in a way that does no credit to her reputation. Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Neil on March 23, 2011, 02:34:10 PM There was talk when Before The Moon came out that a single disc would be released, perhaps this is that disc.
Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Jamie on March 23, 2011, 02:38:21 PM There were two versions of Down In The Flood on there. Doh! So there were. Sorry about that.

Now that I am leaning towards the opinion that it is a "best of" BTM, I just wonder if the sound is so much better that it could justify a buy. Will have to wait until someone buys the real thing! ;D Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Alan2 on April 30, 2011, 08:49:03 AM Hi, newbie here. Well, I found out the hard way it's the same, almost certainly, as Before the MOON. Of which I have 2 (yes, 2 ) copies. Nice to have a digest, I suppose, and the artwork's quite nice. Haven't played them back to back, so i don't know if it's mixed any better or not.
Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Jules Gray on April 30, 2011, 11:00:56 AM Thanks for the info, Alan, and welcome aboard!
Jules Title: Re: Fairport Convention with Sandy Denny - Ebbets Field Post by: Alan2 on May 01, 2011, 11:28:36 AM Hi again. . . . and if anyone wants a sealed copy of BTM, going spare for a few quid, let me know.
