History

Although Donovan's albums had all but disappeared from the British and American markets by the early 1980s, his live appearances still attracted large audiences. Donovan toured constantly throughout this time, performing throughout North America and Europe. According to the Rising liner notes, Donovan's friend Pat recorded many of these performances for Mellow Records.

The setlists from these shows features a mixture of Donovan's international hits from the 1960s and relatively more obscure tracks from his later albums. Like most of Donovan's live performances, there is sparse instrumentation accompanying Donovan's vocals, including flute, acoustic guitar, bass. Rising features two traditional songs ("Young But Growing" and "Stealing") and one original song ("Love Will Find a Way") that were not released on any previous Donovan album.

The live versions of Donovan's hits guaranteed that Rising would receive a release in both the United States and United Kingdom. Rising was retitled The Classics Live in the United States for marketing reasons. Since the release of Rising, there have been many reissues of the songs from the album under many different titles. In 2001, Rising was expanded to a two CD set as Rising Again. Rising Again is an expanded version of the 1990 live album Rising from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. ...
