Two tracks from Michael Hedges’ landmark 1987 live album Live on the Double Planet were captured right here — at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama: “Silent Anticipations” and “The Funky Avocado.”

Distilled from recordings at over 40 venues across North America, Live on the Double Planet stands as Hedges’ most revealing document as a performer — showcasing raw kinetic energy, an enormous live guitar sound, and a talent that defied every category. Auburn was one of the stops where the tape was rolling.

Windham Hill Records, 1987. Produced by Michael Hedges.
