Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, London, Britain, 4-23-1974 | Albums That Should Exist

Ronnie Lane - BBC Sessions, Volume 2: In Concert, London, Britain, 23 April 1974

Paul says: About six months ago, I posted the first volume of Ronnie Lane performing for the BBC. I kinda lost track of this series for a bit, but I'm back with Volume 2. The first volume was all studio sessions, whereas this is all live material, most of it coming from one concert. Two more volumes are planned.

The first twelve tracks all come from one concert, which took place in London on April 23, 1974. It's from "BBC In Concert," which is probably the early 1970s TV show of that name that I've posted a bunch of albums from. These tracks all were released as part of the album "You Never Can Tell."

But there are a few tracks after that. "What Went Down (That Night with You)," is unreleased, and comes from the British TV show "Rock On with Kid Jensen" in late 1974. 

The remaining tracks, 14 through 19, all come from the same concert, which took place in Victoria Palace in London on March 16, 1975. However, different tracks come from different albums: "Just a Moment," "How Come," and "Kuschty Rye: The Singles." I'm guessing somewhere in the record company vaults a full concert recording exists, but only bits and pieces are being released from time to time.

By the way, note that for track 10, "I Believe in You," Lane basically let another musical act, Gallagher and Lyle, take over for one song. At the time, they were mainly known as a songwriting duo, but they would have some hits of their own in 1976. 

This album is 58 minutes long.
