On a Friday evening, March 23, 2007, Lief got together with a bunch of friends and band-mates past and present. The capacity crowd was treated to a very special evening — a unique concert experience featuring everything from the acoustic sounds of Golden Bough and Caliban, to the high energy Celtic Rock of Tempest! This CD commemorates that wonderful evening; it was Lief’s 50th Birthday Concert.
