|
Label : Iberica Logos Music Release Year : 2003 Venue : Bloomsbury Theatre, London, UK Recording Date : November 30, 2003 Running Time : 160 minutes NTSC : 4:3 Review : The house was packed to the rafters and the mood inside was jubilant at London's Bloomsbury Theatre, when - on the night of November 30th 2003 - Caravan took to the stage to commemorate an astonishing career spanning 35 glorious years. Pye Hastings, Richard Coughlan, Geoffrey Richardson, Jan Schelhaas, Doug Boyle and Jim Leverton - joined for a few numbers by occasional band member and brother of Pye, Jimmy Hastings - delighted the audience with a set lasting over two hours and comprising of exquisitely performed material from Caravan's extraordinary and extensive body of work. This package captures that historic event in its majestic entirety on a 2-DVD collection, including both the electric and acoustic sets performed on that perfect evening. Extra features include the legendary 1973 promotional performance of The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again, shown on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test, but completely unseen since; and a series of recent interviews with all the band members - recorded exclusively for inclusion in this package - this set is the ultimate Caravan artefact, capturing the true spirit of this very special group. |
