background
at the time

Taken from 2 solo concerts at filk conventions in Milton Keynes and Eastbourne. A fantastic responsive audience.

It had been put to Christo by audiences that his solo gigs were often quite funny occasions, whereas his albums were usually serious and thoughtful. The concerts gave him the opportunity to do his "silly" songs as he calls them, his irresistable laid back onstage chat mixed with solo versions of songs from recent albums as well as covers of songs by well known filkers.

This album captures Conway the performer. The bonus tracks are remaining tracks from a German tour CD made with Roger Pugh in '97.

influences

John Sebastian, Paul Kantner, Country Joe McDonald, Jesse Colin Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie

technical

Live concerts recorded on multitrack hard disk recorder and stereo casette. Bonus tracks recorded at Christo's home on to 2 track Dat - overdubs by playing with midi preproduction and bouncing down to another 2 track DAT.

hits

Green Clothes, Nobody Loves Me Like I Do, The Alien Jellyfish Song

CC's fave track

Green Clothes

Retrospect

The recording certainly captures the atmosphere of a live solo Conway songs gig.




reviews
Musician Magazine

A quality CD released to celebrate 20 years of concerts by Chris, who is known both for his extensive recorded and live output and as a valuable part of Vikki Clayton's band. He has also recorded and toured with members of Fairport Convention and Jethro Tull. It is therefore hardly surprising that he sounds totally at home in a live environment with this recording cementing his reputation as a gripping performer. It's especially enjoyable to hear snatches of between song patter which add so much to an entertaining solo set. Stand-out track - Rainbow Real. - Keith Ames

Time Out
Magazine

Singer-songwriter Chris Conway, whose recent album "Chris Conway - Live!" was recorded live at two science fiction folk music conventions. The mind boggles!

Filklore

"Heard it. Love it. Wannit." - Paul Bristow

Filklore

"Absolutely brilliant. The recordings have really captured the energy of Chris' live performances and the sound quality is crystal clear. If you hadn't seen the live performance you'd think that the track with simultaneous vocals, *two* whistles and a backbeat must have been either more than one person or overdubbed - but it wasn't, jaws were dropping left, right and centre!!! Chris is a real gem. He's a fantastic musician, singer and lyricist and I for one have a shed load of respect for what he can do."

- Tim Walker
