This Chris Whitley Concert was videotaped at the Fox Theater in Boulder, Colorado on July 12, 2001. Chris Whitley was the finest musician and songwriter of his time, may he rest in peace. Unfortunately Chris Whitley died of Lung Cancer in 2005 and he had no time to say goodbye. Nobody on this planet could get more music out of his national guitar, he nicknamed Mustard, than Chris Whitley. His encore performance and the last song on this video entitled "Shadowland" was brilliantly performed by Chris and I believe is arguably the finest live performance by any artist of his era. Two months after he performed "Shadowland" the twin towers came down and turned New York City into a "Shadowland." How prophetic was the song and the lyrics "Sacrifice of Civilization"
