Speaking of Live 2015, WS do you have any thoughts on it? IMNSHO it is a good album that, while there are more than a few reminder that BF's is not what it used to be, is very very listenable. It got as lot of "playing time" in my Subaru this summer!!!
Cher DCJ,
Windswept violently agrees. The live album is good and is something he listens to a lot. If it plays well in a Subaru imagine how it sounds in a Range Rover !
That said, the album has a strange effect on W2. He often finds himself either reverting to the Avonmore LP mid-way through or alternatively playing it directly afterwards. The reason being the shortness of the tracks. 'Avonmore' and 'Loop Di Li' being particularly irritating. You are just getting into them and it's over. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am! It's virtually like the live album is an appetiser for the real thing.
W2 would love to know how the live album has worked as a business model with it only being available through the shop and at shows. He suspects it's worked rather well. Particularly given the number of fandangos our hero has had since the LP's launch !
Windswept wonders what will be next up on the release front ?
Salutations,
W2
