Album Liege And Lief

Funny Bob Dylan cover taken from the album "Unhalfbricking" released in July 1969. Has been released as a single too in many countries. NOTE: To listen to this song in stereo, just copy and paste '&fmt 18' then refresh.

Recorded at Fairport's Cropredy Festival 2007Band : Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, Richard Thompson, Chris While for Sandy Denny A montage of clips from the following: Intro by Mike Harding Come All Ye Matty Groves Farewell, Farewell Instrumental Medley Crazy Man, MichaelDecent sound and video. Some excited crowd noise can you blame them? BTW, this is the original version, there are ripped versions of this video around.

I just used Paul Robertson's video and pasted it there so you could have something to watch. Ripped out from Late Night tales by Four Tet.Take the sun from my heartLet me learn to despiseIll show you another who cannot tell liesThe blind man cant seeWho demands to his eyesIll show you another who sings as he criesI cannot be wholeAs the beggar who sighsIll show you another who knows as he dies

30 years ago, Steeleye Span gave me a chance to find traditional music.My most favorite Trad band.But I can tell you honestly the greatest British Trad band is not this band .It is Fairport Convention.With my mortification, Fairport Convention is on a high level from Steeleye Span.Fairport Convention has the highest stataus of British Trad.It is fact that Steeleye Span themseves is offshot from Fairport Convention.

Taken from the album "Unhalfbicking" released in July 1969. It's a Bob Dylan cover and as always it is top notch every time Fairport cover Bob Dylan. Ian Matthews sings in the backing vocals. As I don't have video, I made an overview of several known and very rare album and DVD covers by this band. NOTE: To get a stereo sound, just copy and paste '&fmt 18' at the end of the URL then refresh.

This was videoed at Maidstone in 1970 just behind my old school at Oakwood Park. I was in the audience and several kids from my school can be seen dancing. How young we were.I've renamed this as I hope to upload the rest of the video in parts. Part is here: QnaqCQp0#GU5U2spHI 4

Recorded at Fairport's Cropredy Festival, 2007.Guest stars : Jerry Donahue, Dave Mattacks, Richard Thompson, Dave Swarbrick.Good sound, video ok.
