Caravan - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 11-11-1974

The flood of concerts from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts continues. This time, it's the British prog rock band Caravan.

I've only posted one other Caravan album at this blog so far. By a remarkable chance, it's from a concert that took place ONE DAY before this one! They performed for another radio show, "Live at the Record Plant," in California. Here's the link to that one:

It's unfortunate that the two are so similar. But luckily there are a couple of songs performed here not performed on that one, and vice versa.

Three of the songs here were released on the massive 37 CD box set "Who Do You Think We Are." Those three are tracks 3, 4, and 7. I got everything else from a bootleg. The officially released tracks generally didn't have applause at their ends, so I filled those in by bringing in some cheering from the other songs.

The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 50 minutes long. 

01 Be All Right - Chance of a Lifetime (Caravan)
02 Memory Lain, Hugh - Headloss (Caravan)
03 L'Auberge du Sanglier - A Hunting We Shall Go - Pengola - Backwards [Instrumental] (Caravan)
04 For Richard (Caravan)
05 talk by emcee (Caravan)
06 talk (Caravan)
07 Hoedown (Caravan)

The cover photo shows band members Geoffrey Richardson (on violin) and David Sinclair (on keyboards). In the original, the two of them were farther away. But I used Photoshop to move them closer, so I could have them be larger in the image. It's from a concert in Berkeley, California, in the same month of November 1974.

Caravan - Live at the Record Plant, Record Plant, Sausalito, CA, 11-10-1974

Here's another concert from the "Live at the Record Plant" radio show. This one stars the British prog rock band Caravan, from 1974.

I have to admit I'm not very familiar with Caravan. I do have a good number of BBC things from them I've saved, and I'll get around to posting those someday, knock on wood. But meanwhile, here's a teaser of sorts.

Earlier in 1974, the band released the live album "Caravan and the New Symphonia." And it late 1973, it released their most recent studio album at this time, "For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night." So most of the songs come from those two albums. 

The sound quality of the bootleg I found for this was pretty good. However, the vocals were way down in the mix. So I fixed that using the MVSEP program. It sounds a lot better as a result. I'd say this has excellent sound now.

This album is an hour and one minute long. 

01 Memory Lain, Hugh (Caravan)
02 Headloss (Caravan)
03 For Richard (Caravan)
04 Virgin on the Ridiculous (Caravan)
05 Be All Right (Caravan)
06 Chance of a Lifetime (Caravan)
07 The Love in Your Eye (Caravan)

I couldn't find a good picture of the entire band. However, I found one of the violin player, Geoffrey Richardson. It's from a concert probably just a few days away at most from this one, since it's also from the San Francisco Bay Area, in the same month of November 1974. Except this concert took place in Berkeley.
