Joan Baez - BBC Sessions - In Concert - Dominion Theatre London UK 1993 | Albums That Should Exist

 

Joan Baez - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Dominion Theatre, London, Britain, 5-22-1993

Paul says : When I posted a "BBC Sessions, Volume 2" album by Joan Baez a few weeks ago, I noted that I probably was missing some other BBC concerts she did. That's still true, but at least I found this one since then. It took place in 1993. 

When I've thought about Baez, I've generally considered her a folk singer in her 1960s and 1970s heyday. But after listening to this, plus another BBC concert I've found from the 1990s, I'm more impressed with her later material. She didn't start out a songwriter, but she eventually grew into being a pretty good one. For instance, her big 1975 hit "Diamonds and Rust" was written by her. And she had good taste in cover versions. So although I wasn't familiar with most of these songs, I thought they were pretty good.

This remains officially unreleased. The sound quality is solid, although this was sourced from relatively low quality mp3s. I edited them a bit, but I couldn't improve things much.

This album is 53 minutes long.
