JOHN FAHEY LIVE! - EVANSTON, IL 1975 | Big O

 More John Fahey

over at Big O - Evanston, IL 1975


there’s lots of banter and tuning which frankly I could do without . . . . . finding out negative views of musicians is always a problem and referring to a woman as "a dog" is not helpful!

but still the quality of the recording is great and the guitar legend is on form here . . . . . . . 

 Live at Amazingrace (at The Main), Evanston, IL; August 16, 1975. Very good soundboard.
