The thirteen-song set, lasting over two hours, includes classic tracks from studio albums like English Electric, Folklore, and Grimspound. Fan favorites like Kingmaker and Summer’s Lease are also part of this amazing collection.
The performance features the full live band, including the late David Longdon, along with a five-piece brass section. It's even more remarkable as it was only the band's eighth live show in this form. Over the years, it has gained a near-mythical status among the band's fans, known as The Passengers, as one of their best performances.
**What the Band Says**
Gregory Spawton said, “Loreley was a real coming of age experience for Big Big Train as a live band. The stars aligned perfectly for us. It was a truly magical night with the band performing brilliantly and a wonderfully welcoming audience as they and we enjoyed the glorious outdoor setting.”
Drummer Nick D’Virgilio added, “I have been blessed to play some amazing shows with Tears For Fears, Cirque du Soleil, Spock’s Beard and many others during my career. But the BBT show at Loreley was off the charts. It’s hard to believe that this was only our eighth performance together. Every second was simply awesome.”
Guitarist and keyboard player Rikard Sjoblom remembered David Longdon's performance: “David was an absolute star, his vocal performance and the way he commanded the stage were both extraordinary. Loreley is an amazing record of our precious time together with him. The show is one of the highlights of my life.”
The audio for 'Summer Shall Not Fade' has been expertly mixed in both 5.1 and stereo by the band's sound engineer, Rob Aubrey.
