Our Take

Fairport Convention's live album "Worcester & Tokyo 1974" is a delightful blast from the past that will have you digging out your bell-bottoms and peace signs in no time. The setlist is a perfect mix of their classic hits and lesser-known gems, showcasing the band's incredible talent and undeniable charm.

Opening with the foot-stomping "Sir B. McKenzie's Daughter's Lament," the album sets the tone for a night of folk rock goodness. Sandy Denny's haunting vocals on tracks like "Rising for the Moon" and "Down in the Flood" will send shivers down your spine, while Richard Thompson's masterful guitar work shines on songs like "Sloth" and "Dirty Linen."

The live energy on this album is infectious, with the band clearly feeding off the crowd's excitement and delivering top-notch performances throughout. The chemistry between the members is palpable, as they effortlessly weave in and out of intricate arrangements and solos.

While some live albums can feel drawn out or repetitive, "Worcester & Tokyo 1974" keeps things fresh and engaging from start to finish. Whether you're a die-hard Fairport Convention fan or new to their music, this album is a must-listen for anyone craving a taste of the 70s folk rock scene. So grab your kaleidoscope glasses and get ready to groove along to this psychedelic masterpiece.
