This is great live set from Gillian Welch, recorded at the Newport Folk Festival on August 1, 2009. Given the drama leading up to this performance it stands up very well indeed, hit by a five hour flight delay and a traffic jam entering Newport, it was down to local law enforcement locating Gillian and Co’s car and escorting them in with minutes to spare that allowed the show to go on, performing blind – no glasses or time to put her contacts in, Gillian and long time side kick Dave Rawlings ran through a thirteen song set including the usual fan favourites and a cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit”.
