In Concert was recorded live in Amsterdam in 1971, and remains one of the most atmospheric concert recordings of its age.
A wonderful venue (the Concertgebouw), an appreciative audience, and a genuinely intimate selection of songs result in performances that cannot even be compared to their studio counterparts. They're not better, they're not worse, they're just delightfully different, spun with a spontaneity and warmth that truly place the listener stage centre.
"Airport Song" opens the proceedings, of course, but the band was preaching to the converted that night -- every song is received as a conquering hero, and the band responds with equal generosity.
A playful "Banjo Man," a haunting "Seven O'Clock Hymn," an eerie "Ring of Stones" -- every track is a highlight, while the newly arrived Davey Johnstone, making his recorded debut with the band, shines so brightly that it's hard to believe he was still unknown at the time

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Both labels are clean, bright and unmarked with possibly just one spindle trace
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like-new with nothing but one harmless hairline on Side One
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
An absolutely beautiful, barely played copy which delivers the finest sound you could wish for - incredibly clean on its many very quiet acoustic moments - plays as-new throughout
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
As clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made with nothing but a touch of rub to the corners
VERTIGO INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, as clean, sharp and fresh as the day it was made with nothing but a touch of age-related discolouration to the white edges
