Barclay James Harvest

   I said love but that only pertains to the 1971-1978 period.  XII was the last great album IMO.  They were pretty good live and I did finally see them in person at NEARFEST maybe around 2009.  John Lees looked 10 years older than other artists of that vintage.  Apparently he was quite sick but was very professional.  Woolly was the MC and very funny.  Sad that he took his own life not long after.  The group's artistic decline in the 80s may have just been a product of the times but losing Woolly seemed to coincide with that precisely

	I'm not an expert on this band but I've seen them live and they seem alright to me. They almost seem to have a love em or hate reaction from fans though. What is your opinion? Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - December 04 2020 at 18:28
