..... now that the official site is up, I will just add my musings as they come and seeing as the concert is still so present. I can tell it is one of those when I will have the music going around in my head for a very long time. I will try though not to make the blog too personal as I know I can easily get carried away and have my own one for that! Ok, enough- I think I basically wanted to say that in a sense my overall liking of it so much was created by the fact that the music had the McGarrigle sound I love being truly retained, but yet the individuality of the performers shone through in such a lovely pure and simple way..... It is hard in life when writing things like this to not write in cliche's and I guess it is the job of real reviewers to manage to escape them... so I can get away with it I guess.... I also don't ever pay much specific thought to the production of something, but knowing the McGarrigle's first two albums a bit and having been to a couple of the Nick Drake Tributes as well as the Royal Albert Hall show, I could tell that Joe Boyd's production was essential (obviously) to the sound of the show. I commented on a bit on it to someone working there, and he was saying that it was sounding great too in his impression and much better than the night before's performance- that the they were getting a great sound out of the hall....
I don't always feel like trying to go into detail in trying to express my thoughts about concerts... but the fact that I feel like doing so with this one, means something too I think. Anyway it was nice to see that someone has already shared their impressions in a comment here.... Please feel free to add yours too as I love reading about what other people experienced!
Bye for now and maybe more later....
