DAMON ALBARN Paris 2021 - ARTE Concert Festival. La Gaîté Lyrique, Paris, France - Big O

Damon Albarn - France 2021 - Big O



Beautiful stuff and I quite forgot to mention this one . . . . . . probably because its from Big O who's comments section is getting worse in sheer levels of abuse, racism and sexism and general troll abuse nd their previously wonderful newsletter seem to have stopped now . . . . . .but they posted this the other day and it is uniformly excellent . Damon was on Jools Holland's late show late last year and again engaging and almost mesmerising to watch and listen too


DAMON ALBARN
Paris 2021 [no label, 1CD]

ARTE Concert Festival. La Gaîté Lyrique, Paris, France; November 5, 2021. Very good audio (ripped from HDTV webcast).

Big O says: Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz) presents his latest solo project, “The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows”, a declaration of love to Iceland and a poetic live concert to which several guest musicians give orchestral opulence. (The Nearer The Fountain… was released on November 12, 2021. The Guardian calls it “a genuinely beautiful album”.)
