This appears to be the only time McLean has performed at this festival. The good news is we have this recording at all. This is a bootleg I got from a die-hard McLean fan. Then, a couple of days after I posted it, musical friend Progsprog noticed his version was almost twice as long, and sent that to me, so I upgraded to the longer version. I don't believe it's been in circulation on the Internet until now.
McLean was assisted by a small band. At the time of this concert, he was about 66 years old. (He's 80 years old as I write this in 2025.) But while he was getting up there in age, I'm glad to say I didn't notice it affecting his performance in this concert all that much.
McLean didn't play some of his best known original songs, like "Castles in the Air," "And I Love You So," and "Dreidel." Instead, he chose to play some covers, like starting out with a medley of three Buddy Holly songs, as well as a medley of two country songs, "Tulsa Time" and "Deep in the Heart of Texas," and an Elvis Presley song, "I Gotta Know." Plus, "Crying" is a cover originally by Roy Orbison, though McLean had a big hit with it as well.
This album is 59 minutes long.
