Editorial Reviews

There was no doubt in anyone s mind that siblings Míchaeál Ó Domhnaill and Tríona Ní Dhomhnaill, rhythm genius Dónal Lunny, piping king Paddy Keenan, flute virtuoso Matt Molloy, and brilliant fiddler Kevin Burke stood at the very summit of the Celtic music a group admired by all, imitated by many, surpassed by none. It was inevitable that the group would record a live album (in that bastion of Celtic music, Paris, France!) producing a wild, uninhibited set of music, played with verve, and captured with truly great sonics.

This was the Bothy Band's final album, recorded on a tour of Europe shortly before the band imploded and its members went on to other things. While many of the tracks will be familiar to those who have heard their other albums, the performances are excellent and there are some nice surprises ("The Death of Queen Jane" is a stunner). The quality is generally good for a live recording -- which is to say, not up to studio level, but still eminently listenable. A worthy addition to anyone's Irish music library.
