Description
"At This Stage" is a fabulous collection of songs from Eric Bogle - two CDs for the price of one. The live collection: 24 songs including many of Eric's biggest hits. Live performances with introductions as separate tracks so you can skip them, or skip to them, if you want!!
24 songs on a double CD for the price of one, including many of Eric's 'hits'. Live performances with introductions. Uniquely, the introductions are separated from the songs to enable the listener who is bored with the 'blah, blah, blah' to jump straight to the songs or alternatively ignore the songs and go straight to the 'blah, blah, blah' "A no lose situation" as Eric suggests! This live album will replace CDTRAX 082 Eric Bogle "I Wrote This Wee Song" - "Live" - which is now being withdrawn and deleted.
ERIC BOGLE has scored more awards than hot dinners! His And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda was in the top dozen songs of the Australasian Performing Right Association’s 75 year celebrations and to emphasise this point a celebrity Top Fifty Peace Songs Poll held in Scotland placed the same song at No. 1 and No Man’s Land at No. 5, amongst very stiff competition which included John Lennon, Donovan, Elvis Costello and The Rolling Stones. The Melody Maker said of Eric Most of the best contemporary songs of the seventies were written by Eric Bogle. His songs have been covered by many singers and groups, from Mary Black to Billy Bragg and The Pogues to REM - and even Tony Blair chose an Eric Bogle song (“No Man’s Land”) as his personal statement as an anthem for peace in Northern Ireland.
This new 2 CD release features Eric’s most popular songs as well as some special rarities, and as always, despite the heavy nature of the subjects, Eric has the uncanny ability to hit you on the head with wit and humour.
The songs on this collection come from a variety of concerts and studio appearances and thanks are due to all those who made their previous recordings so freely available. This could not have been done without their help. Enjoy the songs, enjoy the humour and enjoy Eric Bogle as if he was singing in your own front room.
