Live Archive 83
Take a step back to 1983 when Hackett goes on the road without electronics for the first time and presents the original 'unplugged' concert. This was the very first Steve Hackett acoustic tour, and the prototype set list includes many tunes which were to become acoustic show favorites in following years. The CD largely consists of an incomplete bootleg recording of the show on 4th November 1983 at Edinburgh's Queens Hall. The missing pieces are reinstated in the form of recordings from the show later that month at Swansea University. Every care has been taken in transferring the audio, however the original tapes were of dubious origin and some allowance may have to be made for an occasional trace of distortion and hiss. The magic here is in the spirit of the performances. Camino. 2006.
