i maybe the only one that feels this way, but at this point in time its probably best if mr mangum never returns from his wily globe trotting escapades or chilling out in athens or where ever he is laying his head these days. it would be like getting back with a crazy ex-lover after years of being apart. sure, at the time they held this mystical like control over you but over the years people change and it never really amounts to anything but an awkward and unsatisfying experience. i hope i am wrong, if he ever does decide to come back to the living.
here is a beautiful soundboard recording of a performance at the side door in st louis on 5.5.97.
3. naomi
4. engine
7. the fool
8. oh comely
9. in the aeroplane over the sea
nice, classic set here.
everyone should at least have this versiop of “aeroplane” in their collection.
and although the prospect of mangum ever returning does scare me, i’d still love to see it.
