Joan Armatrading - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Glastonbury Festival, Worthy Farm, Pilton, Britain, 6-27-1992

Here's a BBC album by Joan Armadtrading. This time, it's a set at the massive annual Glastonbury Festival in 1992.

Armatrading's music career actually began in the early 1970s. By the time of this concert, she'd had quite a few hits, especially in Britain, though none of them were huge. The Glastonbury Festival is a very big deal, with audiences of more than 100,000 people. So she played a tight set, with almost no talking between songs, of her best material. Three of the songs came from her most recent album, 1992's "Square the Circle." Unfortunately, she didn't include "Wrapped Around Her," which was the sole hit from the album in Britain.

The sound quality is as good as you'd expect from the BBC.

This album is 56 minutes long.

UPDATE: On March 3, 1981, I updated the mp3 download file. The music is the same, but I changed the album title, after finding a 1977 BBC concert by her that I'd missed.
