"These tunes reflect a concentration and free flow of ideas that capture the guitarist in top form, and he's clearly enjoying his audience....from old faves like "In Christ There Is No East or West" through to his stunning read of Gary Davis' "Candy Man" and the utterly magical "Steamboat Gwine 'Round de Bend," to the haunting "Beverly" and "Requiem for John Hurt," that closes the show, Fahey spins out a musical universe that straddles musical worlds, dips into them, and carries the detritus somewhere else to make something entirely new yet rooted in time immemorial". 1978 performance released in 2005.
