Fairport Convention - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-24-1974, Early Show

Your near daily dose of Ebbets Field radio broadcast concerts continues. I have about 25 of these left, so enjoy it while it lasts. This time, the concert is Fairport Convention from a time Sandy Denny was part of the band. There's an early show and late show. Naturally, I'm posting the early show first.

Denny was part of Fairport Convention from 1968 to 1969. It wasn't a long time, but the band was incredibly prolific during that time, and that era has been very critically praised. She left that band to concentrate on a solo career, and especially focus more on her songwriting. She released a few albums, but didn't get widespread success. 

Meanwhile, another singer-songwriter, Trevor Lucas, produced a Fairport Convention album in 1972. That led to him joining that band in early 1973. Around the same time, he got romantically involved with Denny. They married later in 1973. Thus, it wasn't too surprising that Denny rejoined Fairport around the time of her marriage. By the time she rejoined, some key members had left, most notably Richard Thompson. But others were still there from the first time she was in the band: Dave Swarbrick and Dave Mattacks. Also, Dave Pegg joined right when she left.

At the time of this concert, the band had three lead vocalists: Denny, Lucas, and Swarbrick, with Denny dominating.

The music is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is an hour and ten minutes long.
