More Info

Great live concert recorded at the Post Aula in Bremen, Germany, May 12, 1975 - the CD contains two songs that have never been released on a live album before ("More Like A Maze Than A Garden" and "New York Ladies").
Fiercely proud of his songs, but often dismissive of his live playing, his Yorkshire modesty belied the fact that he was one of the finest guitarists of his generation.
In a career spanning 55 years, his playing went far beyond folk, into his first love, jazz, improvisation, reggae, rock & even noise. It was this borderless musicianship & love of playing that connected him with newer musicians.
Michael loved playing in Germany, they loved him & with three live albums recorded there in '75, this is clearly a case of right place, right time.
