Tom Paxton - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, Paris Theatre, London, Britain, 11-9-1971

American folk singer Tom Paxton performed for the BBC a few times in the early 1970s after apparently not appearing at all in the 1960s. I've already posted a BBC concert from 1970. (I just renamed it "BBC Sessions, Volume 1," due to posting this show.) Then there's this. Then there's another concert in 1972. Part of it appears on the official live album "Live in Concert."

This one has been hard to track down. I found two different sources and put them together. But I'm still missing a big chunk of concert towards the end. It was hosted by BBC DJ John Peel. I figure there's another twenty minutes to be found, since his shows in this time period were usually an hour long.

But hey, I figure posting most of it is better than not posting any of it. Plus, by posting it, perhaps someone out there can step forward with the rest of it. That goes for the full 1972 show, not to mention any of his other BBC concerts.

There's not much else to say. The sound quality is very good, but not excellent. Part of this is officially released on that "Live in Concert" album mentioned above (which puts together parts of the 1971 and 1972 BBC shows), and part is from bootleg.

This concert is 41 minutes long.
