Album Description
Available in:
"Live At Les Cousins" is a 1996 double live album by English folk/rock singer-songwriter Roy Harper.
The album was recorded in Les Cousins, a folk and blues club in the basement of a restaurant in Greek Street, in the Soho district of London, England.
On the night 30 August 1969, EMI brought their equipment to record Harper's performance as he felt one of his songs ("I Hate The White Man") needed to be recorded live to capture the full essence of the song. The track was included on his 1970 release, "Flat Baroque and Berserk", however the rest of the recording remained in the archives of Abbey Road Studios for nearly 30 years. This album makes available the four reels of tape found (an almost complete recording of the concert) and includes Harper's commentary between the songs.
The album is notable for being the earliest known live recording of Harper, for capturing Harper and the audience "in a mood typical for the period" and, according to AllMusics Brian Downing, it shows Harper "coming out of his Jansch-inspired, neo-Dylan period into his more progressive, acoustic one".
