You get to hear the artist in a live situation complete with stories behind the songs, etc - all the things that are great about hearing a favorite singer or musician in a concert performance. I'm wondering if we might start a listing here on this thread of any concert recordings of traditional &/or "revival" singers all of us have that we'd be willing to share with others on the list? |

Anyone have recordings from Fox Hollow, Pinewoods camps, etc? |

Many outstanding performance there-in by musicians at their peak or just abpit to come into there own. Norm Cazden, Grant Rogers, Sonnie and Brownie, Hedy West, Doc Watson to name a few. I have them on BETA II so unless you have that format I can't lend them very far. Don Great show in Buffalo by the way. |
