JOHN LEES BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST RECORDED LIVE AT METROPOLIS STUDIOS, LONDON. (2 LP ALBUM)

John Lees Barclay James Harvest - Recorded Live At Metropolis, London

"People say its's boring, playing the old songs," comments John Lees in the short interview on the Dvd part of this classic rock performance, adding, "but I'm quite proud of those songs; they stand up to scrutiny. Too right, they do,. Any tracks that can keep the listerner enjoying them, are surely great songs. This collection includes classics like "Child Of The Universe," the-still gritty "Medicine man" and "Summer Soldier".As you would expect with the Barclay james Harvest (BJH) discography, every track is worth its place. Not that everything is old. This set debuts "Ancient Waves," a previously unperfomed song about the Iraq war. Some songs have also evolved over their lifetimes, such as "Mockingbird," which is probaly over double its original lenght at eight minutes.
