Al Stewart & Jim Capaldi - 40.000 Headmen (Live 1999, Late Show, Bottom Line, NY, June 24)
DREAMS DO COME TRUE... {4/6}
CATEGORICALLY, one of my FINEST excavations to date... A seemingly impossible discovery...
I would like to send a HUGE SHOUT OUT to David for coming to the rescue and providing me with this INCREDIBLE LIVE SET... Trying to find any jam from this INSANELY RARE set of gigs between Master Stewart & Master Capaldi, became a FUTILE obsession... Yet, research and tapping into connections always seems to pay off at the end... I would be amiss If I do not mention Matt who was kind enough to do everything technically possible to improve sound quality on these tracks...
To my recollection, Master Stewart started to share the Bill with Master Mason & Master Capaldi towards the end of 1998... I can only surmise that Master Capaldi had the idea to do a bunch of Solo Acoustic gigs and invited him for the ride...
_______________
AN INEVITABILITY... As they continue to jam together, it becomes clearly apparent HOW MUCH Master Stewart was in UNISON with Master Capaldi regarding his understanding of the "TRAFFIC Songbook"... While they are both on their respective Acoustics, around the 3.30 mark, getting the go ahead from Master Capaldi, Master Stewart just UNLEASHES on his 12-String...
A truly HISTORIC take...
Enjoy Loud...
