"Planxty" : Dundee University 1974
The recording - and cassette tape - is now 46 years old, from when "Planxty" played a concert at Dundee University. This medley of tunes strongly featured Liam O'Flynn [ RIP ]. It was an unusual line up, including both Paul Brady and Johnny Moynihan, for certain, but no Christy Moore. It wouldn't have been Planxty without messrs Irvine and Lunny. The medley was : Slow air : "Sliabh na mBhan" - Air : "The Trip We Took Over The Mountain" - Slip jigs : "An Phis Fhliuch" - "The Foxhunter's" - [ with "sound effects" from the pipes ] - Reel : "The Dublin Reel". Unfortunately there is a lot of enthusiastic clapping from the audience throughout, but at least they were in time more than other audiences I've heard.
