Live by Bevis Frond
Recorded on the 1998 US tour at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. The Band consists of Nick, long time associate and former Hawkwind bass player, Adrian Shaw and Andy Ward, former drummer with 70s prog giants Camel. The set is taken from a cross-section of the Bevis catalogue, from Maybe, a live favourite from the first album Miasma, right up to Hole Song No2 from the most recent album North Circular. The playing is tight throughout, particularly on the wig-out electric dulcimer jam that ends the album. Three musicians at the peak of their powers playing great songs. What more could you ask?

The Bevis Frond, the band name used by Nick Saloman for his projects, released Miasma in 1986 to great acclaim from fans of psychedelic rock. A steady stream of LPs since then showcase Nick's strengths of strong songwriting, finely crafted lyrics, and a musical mixture from wig-out guitar jams to sensitive folky numbers. New album The Leaving Of London is a triumphant return after a 7 year hiatus.
