Bear’s Sonic Journals: The Foxhunt is a historic, never-before-released live album from The Chieftains, capturing the legendary Irish folk group in peak form. Recorded by famed Grateful Dead soundman Owsley “Bear” Stanley, these live performances from 1973 and 1976 in San Francisco offer a rare, immersive experience into the band's dynamic stage presence and virtuosic musicianship.
