Day After Day: Live [Live]

Editorial Reviews
From the Label
One of the pivotal '70s pop bands, Badfinger released a number of highly praised albums on the Apple and Warner Bros. labels. But the original band never released a live album during its time together, and DAY AFTER DAY is a long-overdue document of the original Badfinger's in-concert power.

DAY AFTER DAY includes two of Badfinger's greatest hits, "Day After Day," and "Baby Blue," along with many highlights of the Apple albums. Recorded in 1974 at the Cleveland Agora, the album captures Badfinger's last tour featuring all four original members: guitarists Joey Molland and Pete Ham, bassist Mike Gibbins, and drummer Tom Evans.

At the time, the concert heard on DAY AFTER DAY was indeed intended for a live album. Because of the myriad legal and personal hassles that Badfinger experienced, the recording ended up in limbo. It wasn't until 1990 that Joey Molland, who had retained possession of the original multi-track tapes, decided to put out an album of songs from the Agora perfomance. DAY AFTER DAY, produced by Molland and Mark Healey, is the first Badfinger album released with the involvement and approval of an original band member in 10 years.

In spite of the bad luck and tragedy that would befall the band in later years, Badfinger was an undeniable force in pop music. Their music met with widespread radio airplay and great consumer demand, and yet most of their classic songs had been unavailable for nearly fifteen years at the time of this release. DAY AFTER DAY showcases this much loved group at their peak, and gave this material its long-overdue digital debut.
