Rising is the third live album, and twentieth album overall, from Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. It was released on Permanent Records[1] in 1990 (LP and CD). 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, 25 Years in Concert in Europe and Atlantis in the UK for marketing reasons. Since the release of Rising, there have been many reissues of the songs from the album under many different titles.
Rising was supposedly recorded sporadically from 1982 through 1986 at various live concerts during different world tours. However, after careful research the sources of these recordings are found to be a U.S. tour in 1971, concerts in Osaka in 1973, and the Cambridge Folk Festival of 1981.
