comment J.V.Tol:
This is the first CD from this TV show with the best sounding versions.
The sound is excellent and there are some really wonderful songs here like When it comes to you, Water of love, Your own sweet way, etc.
All songs are taken from the best sounding bootleg, “Bijou”, but Water of love is taken from “A friendly funny night” as it was not included in “Bijou”.
All songs have been remastered (for example speed correction)
Three songs have been added; “One woman man”, “Railroad worksong” and “Dallas rag” which were only broadcasted on TV and never bootlegged!!!
plus the interview before the show.
Great one to have in the collection!
Comments Pyroman:
Very nice Notting Hillbillies concert.
Perfect sound – better than other bootleg from the same day “Live in London” – and great setlist.
When It Comes To You was already played here, before the release of “On Every Street” .
A fantastic “I Think I Love You Too Much” was performed even before the famous ‘Knebworth Festival”, where this never officially recorded song was played for the first time by Dire Straits, together with Eric Clapton.
Water Of Love is also very nice in NHB version.
Great bootleg!
Enlight note:
Also known and labeled as: The Notting Hillbillies – Having A Good Time – SNAPE 1990 (but notice the improvement and extra tracks on this real deal
, there are some mix ups)
Very good sound and great performance.
Dire Straits played “i think i love you too much”, for the first time at the Knebworth Festival and later during the beginning of the OES-tour,
Great to have this stunning version before it was played by the Straits.
Jeff Heally recorded this song with Mark, and released it on his album “Hell To Pay”( it became a great recording), unfortunally On March 2, 2008, Jeff Healey died of cancer(age 41).
I love the rollin’ sound of the banjo during ”when it comes to you” played by brandan.
Nice “Water of love” intro.
Another great version of “Hobo’s Lullaby” with some breath-taking short guitar licks by Mark during the verse and chorus , and a great outro solo.
(this also gives me the opportunity to rectify my info on the NHB-GLASGOW 90 upload **) that ,”Hobo’s Lullaby” was the only soundboard version , i was mistaken, here another wonderful soundboard version)
The guitar solo on Feel Like Going Home is amazing!!!
simply, a must have (imho).
**)see here for another excellent HNB soundboard show: “Glasgow 1990-04-25”
