There And Now: Live in Vancouver 1968 [sic] was a 1990 (or early 1991) archival release of a concert by Phil Ochs in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, at the PNE Garden Auditorium on Thursday, March 13, 1969. Performing solo with guitar (except on "The Bells," where Allen Ginsberg played the bells), Ochs was worn, weary and despairing in the aftermath of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Ochs presents some of his older material, such as "There But For Fortune," "Changes" and "The Highwayman," alongside then-new songs from Rehearsals for Retirement such as "The Doll House" and "William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park And Escapes Unscathed." The album thus documents two eras of Ochs in one seventy-minute show.

A note about the release date

The CD liner indicates that There and Now: Live in Vancouver was originally released in 1990, but the original release date was January 1991 according to the discographical information included with the Farewells & Fantasies box set.
