Review (liner notes by Stephen Larson of the below mentioned remastered cdr of the show) : "In August 1979, the Lutheran Student Movement - Canada National Study Conference was held at Hasting's lake, Alberta -- a church camp near Edmonton. The theme of the conference was "Darkness, Fire and Whispered Stories: Creative Expressions of the Good News." Invited speakers on this topic of "faith and art" included a potter who worked at his wheel while speaking about God as a creative artist; a film maker who spoke of faith dimensions within her craft -- and Bruce Cockburn. Bruce gave a two-night, annotated concert. he sang his songs and told stories about how they came to be written. Throughout the concert he responded to questions from the audience of university students. In the afternoons, he gave guitar workshops, teaching interested students some of the tricks of his trade. This show was circulated for years in a much inferior sounding version, until the master tapes were made available by the original taper(s) for circulation as a benefit for a Ban the Landmines charity. The original tapes were remastered and transferred to cdr with artwork and show details. There is also an excerpt of "Feast Of Fools" which was taken from a worship service during the same two days and is not recorded well.
