Alan Stivell - live at the Olympia 1972

The Rotterdam folk festival in 1978 (2) 

Alan Stivell played the final of this festival. Electric, electrifying, eclectic, superb harp playing by Stivell himself, great organ by Pascal Stive, and if Dan Ar Braz did not play the guitar (I do not remember) the guitarist was as good as he is.


I planned to upload both this album and the 1973 "from Celtic Roots", but that one happened to be posted a couple of days ago on phrockblog. Anyway "Live a l'Olympia catches the spirit of that night in Rotterdam perfectly.
