thanks for this mate, loved it. I randomly bought 5 Leaves Leaves Left second hand in 1989 at 14, was an avid vinyl freak ...that album means so much to me, and so does Nick.
Any time I see Drake mentioned, I'm reminded of something that Al Stewart once said: "I often think, if I had died after making 'Past Present and Future', I'd be Nick Drake now."
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Let's be honest, mass indifference to these videos is conceptually *perfect*. I'm going to pretend it's all part of my plan.
Sadly seems not. Total missed goal by witchseason. Not so difficult to record output of soundboard. But... There is an awful recording of Fairport. th-cam.com/video/if4iWSDzQ9g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UqCaf3V_dAbtXqWp

Thank you. Quite jealous of you hearing him as a surprise at that age. Glad you're enjoying the series.

I love Al Stewart's stuff - but Nick Drake is an entirely different league!
Probably apocryphal (and from memory) but wasn't James Dean's agents response to finding he had passed 'great career move'?
Excellent work on this!
Thanks a lot for taking the time to stop by and have a great weekend!
Great stuff again. Fascinating and important artist. Also these videos should have more views.

really enjoying this series, definitely deserves a wider audience
I'm reserving judgement and waiting to find out what the critical consensus is in 50 years time.
11:40 Please tell us the recording of this particular concert is available somewhere.
