Family/London,UK 2015

The family, which disbanded in 1973, unexpectedly restarted after 40 years. From the 2015 UK tour, a complete recording of the live performance at the O2 Forum in London on December 14th in master quality and audience recording. First of all, Roger Chapman continued his solo activities even after the band disbanded, but he once announced his retirement in 2009. Therefore, this live show, which was an unexpected restart, brought out the richness of British rock, like the 70’s, with delicious blues, jazz, and folk stewed, and was enveloped in a mood that could only be found in England. Something that will be a show. The set list also follows the band’s history, with the opening songs being “Hey Mr Policeman” and “See Through Windows” from their 1968 debut, “MUSIC IN A DOLL’S HOUSE.” From there, they performed four songs from 1969’s “FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT,” one song from 1970’s “A SONG FOR ME,” and their final work, 1973’s “IT’S ONLY A MOVIE,” in release order. It’s a masterpiece with a deep British flavor, so it’s a total of 94 minutes and is a must-listen for old fans. Disc 1 : 1. Intro Music 2. Hey Mr Policeman 3. See Through Windows 4.
