Digitally remastered edition. There is something quite special about a live
album - provided you can get over the envy at not having been present(!) It can
sound a lot better than the gig itself without the risk of ones toes being
trodden or a shower of a fellow revelers beer. Certainly a Bert Jansch gig was a
treat however you experienced it, especially when he was at the top of his game,
as captured on Downunder: Live In Australia. Eschewing the familiar stalwarts of
previous live sets, this memorable recording saw Jansch debut two new (at the
time) songs; Downunder and My Donald, as well as Little Max which never had a
studio outing (but will feature among the recently discovered home recordings in
Earths 2017 Living In The Shadows collection). There is a warmth about this
recording which echoes that of Live at The 12 Bar, recorded three years before.
Its mostly just Bert and his guitar, with the welcome addition of intuitively
placed flourishes of bass and percussion. This ambience is heightened by Brian
Pyles sensitive remastering, bringing a real intimacy to this enduring
collection of songs.
