Anyone ever heard this?  The Continental Drifters doing Fairport: http://www.continentaldrifters.com/listen-listen.htm
I have their first album from years ago which I really enjoyed, and then a later one that wasn't nearly as good.  They're mostly artists from other bands which I've generally liked.  I was rooting around the web and found this one that they had recorded in 2000 and 2001; never knew it existed.  I'd love to hear a review from someone here.

They're using a really old streaming file format that isn't really used these days. On a Windows box, you should be able to play it with VLC.

Cool, thanks.  Nice version of You're Gonna Need Somebody in one of those from that same show.

This is John the Gun - utterly amazing, the drummer has DM's playing & sound from that last Sandy tour and the alternate Albion Band Tour of 1979!!
