    5 out of 5 stars A fantastic live romp through a great band's history.......2002-03-17

    Every August, Fairport Convention holds a festival in the small town of Cropredy, climaxed by a marathon concert during which all the present and former (and there have been many) members of Fairport take turns on stage, playing songs from their tenures with the group. This 3-CD set covers the 1997 festival, which marked the 30th anniversary of the band. Between songs, original bassist Ashley Hutchings provides a humorous running narrative on Fairport's long, strange history. The playing is excellent. All the facets of Fairport are included: the classic songs, the early Dylan covers, the souped-up traditional jigs and reels. Hutchings provides an updated take on Dylan's "Million Dollar Bash", while guitarist Dan Ar Braz, who was only with the band for a heartbeat in the 70s, contributes a fantastic version of the Beatles' "Rain". Original lead guitarist Richard Thompson is at his usual peak. The 3rd CD sags briefly because of weaker songs from the 90s lineup. The compilation includes entertaining between-song banter (when Dave Pegg says that fiddler Dave Swarbrick is now divorced and available, Swarb replies "I'm looking for ladies with Christian names beginning with A and R -- then I'll have the complete set") and a hilarious recording of an April Fools Day prank Simon Nicol once played on Swarb. As Nicol says in the liner notes, rather than correct mistakes, the original tapes are provided "warts and all", which includes guest singer Vikki Clayton accidentally leaving out the climactic verse in "Matty Groves."

    5 out of 5 stars Not QUITE As Good As Being There Would Have Been..........2000-05-29

    Having managed to make it to Cropredy for Fairport's twenty-fifth anniversary reunion, i had hoped to make it over for this one as well... but it was not to be.

    And, while my memories of that previous trip to Cropredy, when compared to the CD version (which is also worth having, to say the least) lead me to believe that this set is in no way a satisfactory substitute for Having Been There, still it is, withal, a fine and pleasing set of tunes and vocals, indeed.

    There is not and never has been a band that can compare to Fairport in doing what they do -- which is the effortless blending of the most modern rock sensibilities with the most traditional of folk music and everything in between, as well, and this set confirms it yet again.

    It is wonderful to hear essentially every still-living member of the band (save, i believe, Iain Campbell, who couldn't make it) getting up there on the stage and re-creating the various line-ups one after the other -- especially since there are no live recordings from some of the more interesting versions of the band, and this set does a little to fill that lack.

    It's heart-warming, as well, to know that everyone there extended well-wishes to usual MC Danny Thompson (who was in hospital, but, i understand, recovered just fine), a fine fellow, excellent MC and outstanding bass player.

    Every time i listen to this set, it reminds me that i have pledged to make it once more to Cropredy before all of us geezers die or get too old to perform...

    ((Also included is a phone recording of an April Fool joke Simon Nicol played on Dave Swarbrick many years ago. It's hilarious, but the little label that says "includes explicit Swarbrick" is a warning to be heeded -- this is definitely *not* something one could play on the radio without a little cleanup...))

    5 out of 5 stars For a somewhat new Fairport Fan...Fantastic!.......1999-11-03

    What an excellent CD collection. To hear past and present Fairport members playing together is great. The 'Warts and All' idea is perfect and really makes for a very listenable time. As someone who is two weeks away from my first Fairport show, this gives me a glimpse of what to expect and I can't wait. Cheers!

    5 out of 5 stars The Greatest Fairport on Earth.......1999-10-19

    The Croppedy Box set captures the live Fairport Convention in it's full splendor and propells this charming folk rock legacy into the new millenium with grace, dignity, humor, and whit. It's good to hear the great cast of present and past members, especially Swarb and Thompson cameos, in this terrific recording. I was mesmerized by Rober Plant's rendition of a Dylan classic in Fairport's last live box set. Say No More! This entire 3 CD box release is worth it not only for the classics but for one great new song - "Rain." My favorite weather condition has been contemporized and bathed in passion by Simon Nicol & Co. Yes, Nancy Covey, I hope to make myself a goer for the live offing before I wither.

    4 out of 5 stars Lots Of Live.......2007-02-09

    This set would have been a lot more impressive if Fairport hadn't already released so many live albums from Cropredy, what with Live In '87, Moat On The Ledge, Road To Cropredy, Festival, 30th & 35th Anniversory multi disk sets, The Boot, The Other Boot, The 3rd Leg, the bonus disk the other Free Reed box plus live "bonus" tracks on reissues of some of their later albums, the DVDs & various bootlegs makes this set sort of feel like you've been there before. This is not to say this box isn't great or worth having. Most of the performances are amazing & even the ones that aren't are at least interesting and if you've ever gone to Cropredy you'll most likely find some tracks from the festivals you personally went to. Ther is not a better live band around than Fairport on a good night & it's always a good night at Cropredy!

    2 out of 5 stars high hopes not realized.......2006-03-03

    All in all a rather lackluster set of music from the legendary Cropredy music festival. It does underscore just how big a loss Sandy Denny was.The set relies heavily on a bunch of female singers,trying to fill the void of the late Sandy Denny.For the most part they fall way short.There are a few fantastic performances scatterred about the 4 discs,but for the most part the music left me unimpressed at best.
