I just love Croce's music. I bought the DVD last night and watched it three times. I may watch it three more times today. I was pleasantly surprised by their version of SFAWN Night. Beautiful harmony, but like you, I kept thinking, "I wish the narrator would shut to h*ll up!"
I often wonder what the future would have held for Jim and his sideman Maury, had that tragic crash not happened. What a great loss to the music world.

wow, dvd's have really come down in price (same with legit CD's 
...mp3's just dont' do justice to most great productions so i don't listen to many) so i was finally able to see the Croce Live one after only seeing glimpses during the VH1 show years ago
they did actually show a bit more of SFAWN during the Farm doc, is that recording available in full form anywhere? i think Ingrid, Jim and Maury Muehleisen (nice to see him remembered in the July04 Sounding Board ) could have hooked up and given PP+M a good run as a wonderful harmonizing trio (but i suppose Ingrid was busy raising AJ)
anyhow, many are not fans of GL covers but GL is a songwriter first and foremost to me and i love hearing anyone and everyone adding new arrangements, varied phrasings, new harmonies, etc to his timeless creations...i will have to find JC's SRBs also someday, i can almost hear it in my head already
btw, some of the live tunes on the DVD were new to me (i thought i new all JC stuff!) and superb...all i want in live music is what they offered, 2 acoustics and lead and harmony vox...i wish i'd see GL in a similar setup, i miss live GL harmonies (i don't even think a song like Triangle should be done live without harmonies, anyhow, digression) ...cheers JC and MM, miss you guys

wow, i thought i was reading my own post, but from another thread, lol
great to see the statuesque Stockfish in that Spin Spin Spin video too
man, the look of admiration and love in any shot of Ingrid gleaming at Jim is heartbreaking
i think AJ dug up the archives and threw this DVD together (Carwash Blues is such a clean print!), can one of Gord's sons do the same for us all, while Gord and WE are still alive?
back on topic, listening to the Barra McNeils
