Additional InformationA strong '70s Caravan lineup recorded live with a 39-piece orchestra adding grace, power, and texture without bombast or pomposity.
This CD comprises the 5 tracks that were issued on the original vinyl version 50 years ago (near enough) plus 4 tracks that were also recorded at this concert. These 4 were originally on the "For girls who grow plump in the night" album and it's interesting to hear them played live, without any added orchestration on three of them. The standout feature is the keyboard solos, which have only a passing resemblence to the originals.
The originally-on-vinyl tracks: there are three originals, one written by Simon Jeffes (of Penguin Cafe Orchestra fame), and two longish Caravan standards, For Richard and The Love In Your Eye. The orchestra just about keeps up with the band on For Richard.
For me, this was an enjoyable wander down memory lane, and the album is a must-have for Caravan fans. It's not a good starting point to see what Caravan were all about though - for that try the compilation "Where but for Caravan would I" .
