After a break of 23 years, Planxty came together this year for a series of concerts in January and February. I was at the opening night, and the atmosphere was raw with expectation. What ensued was a triumph of music, memories and nostalgia. Veteran Planxty fans weren?t disappointed, and a substantial proportion of the audience, who weren?t even born when Planxty last played, had their eyes opened. It was a peg to hang a memory on, and the experience was captured on tape. You can enjoy it now on CD and DVD (multi-region). The emphasis is on well-tried favourites from long ago (after all that was what the shows were about). It?s great music and it proves that these lads are only in their prime. ?Sean O Duibhir? is the hidden track on the CD. 'While CD and DVD are very close in price, the DVD has the visual content (naturally), plus five extra musical pieces and a documentary.
