5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, December 20, 2001

I bought this album on a whim, after a hard-working day. I already had a couple of their albums, but still wasn't quite prepared for this collection (from 2 different concerts, 2 different dates). What an alternately warm, rocking(!), moving and energetic set. Calling them the "Irish Beatles" is perhaps a bit silly, but it can't be denied that this is some of the finest Celtic/trad. Irish music ever recorded.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Bothy Band Album, August 7, 2003

This review is from: BBC Radio 1 in Concert (Audio CD)

I have to disagree with several other reviews of this album- this is, for me, the best example of the masterful Bothy Band in full flight. The live setting removes the frequent over-production of great Irish musicians & almost every set on this record is excellent (a feat that 'After Hours', for example, cannot claim)

The combination of full-on jigs & reels (the opening 'Martin Wynne's' set being a good example), poignant & funny songs and pensive instrumentals (eg 'The Maids of Mitchelstown') is unmatched in any other Irish folk record which I have yet heard.

Paddy Keenan's 'Bucks of Oranmore' is indeed a highlight, but the whole set offers more than the rest of the Bothy's back catalogue. This is one of THE irish masterpieces and is a perfect demonstration of exciting music which doesn't rely on production effects - just legendary musicians playing fine tunes. This is one of the best records made in any genre.
