New "Astral Weeks Live"

Pfreak, do doubt (IMO). i read where a few of the original session players are on the album. the band is killer esp the fiddle player. i'm enjoying it again tonite. van is one of those lifetime treaures, isn't he?

Pehare,Yes it's great!!. The music was always great anyhow. I love the fact that Van just re-did the whole cd live for us! It's truly one CD that I'll be listening to for years. As I sit and listen, it's almost as if I've never heard it before. The fiddle player is exceptional. Makes this classic so much better.

I read about this on Amazon recently.

I think I'll have to check it out. Astral Weeks is a classic and a mesmerizing recording! It will be interesting to hear how Van has brought it up to date.

Why is it that on almost any live album people in the audience have to "let themselves be heard" during a quiet passage. It drives me nuts and takes away any intimacy that might be.
