The new season (or, as they put in the UK, series) of For One Night Only, the fine BBC Radio 4 documentary series about pivotal concerts, has begun (and ended, with only three episodes this time out), and the BBC has seen fit, as they have not in previous years, to secure rights to keep the episodes posted online for a considerable time (a year rather than, for example, last season's a week), giving us all a good opportunity to catch the episodes...the three this season are all about the Eric Clapton Unplugged concert/album, the Weavers reunion in 1955 in Carnegie Hall, and the Rolling Stones concert in NYC which was documented by the Get Yer Ya-Yas Out album, and while I like the Weavers' episode the most (the three surviving original Weavers still have a fair amount to say, and with good humor), they're all worth a listen. I'll be keeping up with this series, you can be sure, assuming there's another series...I won't be sorry to have sent you along in their direction, either.
