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.
