John Fahey - Late Career, Electric Bootlegs


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.

  3. Glad 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.

  4. Thanks, D-S! Didn't see these till now. My blog is named after Fahey's late career masterpiece, Womblife, so these are indeed a real find to me. I was lucky enough to see him play an acoustic gig at a record store in Austin around '99 for the record release party for the Grow Fins boxset. Looking forward to digging in!
