Well here we are for day two of Fahey Week. Thought I would post a few of Fahey’s late-career concert bootlegs that I have. Both are electric guitar concerts.
Each has a unique aspect to it.
The Dutch boot is a radio show so the sound is excellent and it is interspersed with the Dutch announcer and a Fahey interview.
John Fahey Brudenell
The second one is a show from a UK tour in 1999 and the first two songs on the second disc have Fahey playing with an organist.
John Fahey - Amsterdam - 4 July 1999
Keep in mind that bootlegs aren’t always the best sound quality, though these two are pretty good.
I'm really enjoying these, thanks for making them available! And thanks for this great blog! RIP J.F.
ReplyDeleteYou are wonderful for posting the Brudenell show, you have made me very happy
ReplyDeleteGlad people are enjoying these. I debated some what about putting his late-career stuff up, but I know there are people that like it despite the fact that it is his early stuff that he is really known for.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your efforts.
ReplyDeleteThe Brudenell Club, Leeds show is beautiful, one of my favorite late career Fahey. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI was at the Paradiso gig in Amsterdam, which i think the photo and recording are from. It was a mini festival and i had no idea who JF was at that point, but seeing him up close i was completely blown away, and it remains in my top 5 gigs of all time. Have been seeking out some evidence online that this show happened, and thank you, your blog has come through!
ReplyDeleteps. I was there to see Tren Brothers (2 of the Dirty Three guys) who were slightly disappointing, and Jim O'Rourke, who made some interesting sounds with laptop and guitar, but neither acts were a patch on John.
