This is Baden Powell - O Grande Show | Gravado Ao Vivo (1979), for WEA. I really prefer to identify this album as "O Grande Encontro", but the folks of Brazil-on-Guitar and Jornal Musical takes it as O Grande Encontro. This is the first double LP released at Loronix and also the first Double LP on Baden Powell discography, it is a live show recorded in Sao Paulo, Brazil at Teatro Procopio Ferreira, most of the tracks have lyrics sung by Baden Powell with that sweet and beautiful voice of his late years. Baden makes a nice rendition of Samba da Bencao, dedicating "Saravas" to everybody he could remember. The last and longer track brings a breathtaking version of Berimbau. You should not miss it, very near mint vinyl ripping. Tracks include:
