Arrived on the doormat today (thanks HMV!)
Just listening to the demos on disc 2 now having had a listen through disc 1 first.
I can see a weekend of intensive listening ahead!

I appear to have been over eager here. I have just had confirmation from Play that my copy has been dispatched too so I must have inadvertently ordered two copies!  So... if anyone wants a copy of the 2 disc version at the knock down price of £9, please IM me. |

Yes, same here, at least the first copy.  I have been listening to it all morning, admittedly while doing other things so it has not had my full attention. It seems to have much more of a foot in the traditional folk camp than some of RTs more recent albums, at least as far as the the melodies are concerned. A very celtic/caledonian feel but served up with lashings of blistering guitar work. I am currently listening to the acoustic disc and it is splendid, maybe better than the band performances. I'm almost shocked to hear myself saying that as I generally prefer my RT plugged in. |

Can't wait to hear this - I've only just got my Amazon notification, so I won't get it until after the bank holiday. At least it will give me something to look forward to on returning to work

That was my first reaction too but going back to the band performances after hearing the demos gives them an extra dimension - having the demo versions is a tremendous insight into the creative process & it's great to compare & contrast & to find how the two versions complement each other. Well worth springing for the two disc edition! |

Dear I say it - a bit more folk influenced than the recent albums-return/nod to the Fairport roots a little? Especially with the violin. It being a live album is nice to have some longer guitar sections. Can't wait to get to know it all better. Love how you get a properly depressing song followed by a slightly less depressing song followed by a properly depressing song..... Fingers crossed he will he at Croppers next year!

Played the electric disc last night. Excellent, as expected. Haven't got to the demo disc yet.
I think I will try queueing up the demos of each track, immediately followed by the live version later today. Should be very interesting.

Has RT actually admitted anywhere in public that "Here Comes Geordie" is actually about Sting?

I'm given to understand he has tried to deflect that assumption but I fear he may have been too lyrically specific on this occasion to warrant further speculation! |
