Fever Tree: 1969 Live + Filigree And Shadow 2002

 

Forget about high tec recording set up. It´s just a rough recording live set with all such long standing songs of the time. A good work made by Sundazed and another texan favourite band.

Fever Tree were literally at the end of their run when they recorded this concert at a high school in Houston, Texas in 1969. The band were disappointed with their album "For Sale", they'd grown tired of touring, and lead singer Dennis Keller had already announced his intention to leave the group, so this show was staged for the purposes of recording a live album that would fulfill Fever Tree's contractual obligations to their record company.
                                            

One might not expect an especially enthusiastic performance given these circumstances, but Fever Tree were in commendable form the night these tapes rolled, sounding tight and delivering plenty of fire.

However, this concert makes it clear that on stage Fever Tree were a very different animal than the band that recorded their celebrated albums. In the studio, Fever Tree were guided by songwriters and producers Scott and Vivian Holtzman, who smoothed out the group's rougher edges and gave their recordings an artful, ethereal tough. Live, the group couldn't and didn't reproduce the nuanced string and horn arrangements of their records, and instead they played harder and heavier, emphasizing extended improvisations and lengthy guitar workouts from guitarist Michael Knust and keyboard man Rob Landes.

FILIGREE AND SHADOW 2002

                                               

This CD includes tracks of their first LP, live recordings and rare singles. Is a Collection of tracks and reunion demos. Most of the material on this album is sourced from very poor sources: Either it's clearly dubbed from vinyl, including surface noise, or it's from some super low quality source, perhaps old casette tapes. It's very, very clear that it's not made from the master tapes.
