 Fairport Convention - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-24-1974, Late Show

Paul says: Here's another album from the Ebbets Field radio broadcasts. Yesterday, I posted the Fairport Convention early show from a 1974 concert. This is the late show.

I already explained in the write-up for the early show how Sandy Denny rejoined Fairport Convention in early 1974, in time for this concert. Unfortunately, that wouldn't last. She would leave the band for a second time in 1975, as her marriage with Trevor Lucas, another member of the band, was falling apart. She would die two years later, in 1977, after falling down a staircase.

There's some overlap in the song selection between the early shows and the late shows. Here are the songs that were performed in both: "Solo," "Dirty Linen," "Matty Groves," and "Down in the Flood (Crash on the Levee)." But the leaves room for a lot of unique songs in both shows.

This album is an hour and eight minutes long.

Paul notes: The cover image is of Dave Swarbrick at a Fairport Convention concert in Denmark, some time in April 1974. It's from the exact same concert as the picture of Sandy Denny I used for the cover of early show. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the help of the Kolorize program.
