- Steeleye Span performing 'The Prickly Bush', from the 1996 album 'Time'. Available to buy from the Park shop here: parkrecords.com...
Released in 1996, after a seven-year hiatus. The impetus for the album was a 25th anniversary reunion tour the year before. In some ways, the album represents a revival of Steeleye Span. After a 16 year period during which the band released only three albums, the band entered a more productive phase that continues down to the present.

Good to see the brilliant Bob Johnson for once, he was seldom featured on these videos, a great guitarist and arranger, so much so that the band still, to this day, play his parts as he played them, good guy, greatly missed.
In case anyone should misunderstand Karl's post: Bob is still very much alive! Just not (alas) with the Span any more.
@@Krzyszczynski Bob is 79 and has various health issues.
I walk round work singing this. Brilliant group.
This is absolutely stunning ❤
My favorite song from my favorite Steeleye Span album... showcases their harmonies like no other.
Had never heard this before. Wonderful! Couldn't get the tune out of my mind for 2 or 3 days!
To the six thumbs down people.........you have no souls........hope you find them soon......🏴
Saw 'em in Buffalo, NY, summer of 1970, "warm up" band for CTA. Magnificent!!
craig mclntosh,
steeleye span's first US tour was in november 1972 supporting procol harum.
@@jackjc1447 I know who & what I saw.
What a lineup!
Gay Woods has a wonderful voice.
@@smiffy8364 She does. I wish she had done a solo album after leaving Steeleye the second time.
A song with a long history.....!!
The Prickly Bush.....Gallows Pole.....
Traditional Folk.....thru' Huddie Leadbetter to Led Zeppelin......
Excellent....!!
Nice to see Gay singing with the band again. The harmonies with Maddie are brilliant. She should have stayed
such a gift these people
Excelente version y excelentes musicos ----great band.
thank you for this beautiful song
A singer who, every time, makes all listeners aware how much she enjoys doing what she does. Maddy Prior, a complete nut. Thank god for eccentrics.
Fantastic track💖
"All around my Pridkly Bush"! love this album. Saw them at Bristol .
Gay Woods has a great voice!
Not in the same league as Maddy and thus why her and Terry parted from the band after the first album?
GAY WOODS GREAT VOICE. GUTH IONTACH NI CHORCAIRAIN. BEST VERSION OF THIS AMHRAN
Love these live songs from this line up, the Span at their best , the harmonies, the fiddler, I had this by Peter Paul & Mary but no one tops this
Gay woods lovely voice
Just magical and don't the ladies sound good together.
Women gay woods and maddy prior
Fantastic 💖
Have a listen to the lovely Ray Fisher (folk) version of this beauty.
Peter, Paul and Mary sing this as 'Hangman". I think it's on their 'A Song Will Rise' album. Led Zeppelin performs it as 'Gallows Pole' which, I'm pretty sure dates to a Leadbelly version. All slightly different and all quite good.
The LZ version definitely was taken from the Leadbelly version. I think the Led Zeppelin version is the only one where the hangman kills the condemned man despite getting to sleep with his sister anyway ("but now I laugh and pull so hard to see you swinging from the gallows pole")
@@timward276 Indeed! Without swingin' from the pole the song has little impact. It also conjures the image of a single beam as opposed to a traditional setup with stairs and crossbeams, et all. The crudeness adds insult to the action by understatement. I've read that many crucifixions used this method of simply transfixing the condemned person to a single upright beam
Maddy beautiful and memorable images.😂Guy ex.techie.
I love this album, and I'm sorry to say that this is not live, it's playback...
groovy baby
I'd be hard pressed to chose a favorite version of the 'Gallows Pole' song - this version or the one off No Quarter by Zepplin
finbar and eddie furey do a great version on the lonesome boatman a more tradtional reciting well worth checking out
I suspect that the one dissenter is a loyalist to Waterson orthodoxy.
Great song, but not truly live. Steeleye played 2 nights at this venue, and played them live to a real audience. But the whole of the "Time" documentary/concert is actually overdubbed. So it looks like they were miming, and you can see it seems like there are many cuts.
Either there was a problem with sound quality of the recordings, or they wanted the studio recordings on it. Either way, it's great to see but not properly authentic.
Are there any elements of the melody of "prickle eyed bush" or "The Maid Freed from the Gallows" that have been consistent throughout history?
It reminds LZ Gallows Pole, but perhaps I am mistaken? :)
Same song. Zep had no issues with stealing British folk.
This is actually an incrediably old song, you can find everything from Scandinavian to Sicilian versions. The story has been used over and over, thats the great thing about folk music, anyone can hear something diffrent in a song and make it their own.
To be fair, Zep did credit their version of this as Traditional - there are several songs where they did claim composer credits that they didn't deserve, but Gallows Pole isn't one of them.
do you have any links to traditional versions? Id really like to hear trad versions of the melody. And see if there is any element of the melody that was consistent throughout history, or if it is just the story within the song? The chorus of this version is the same as bellowheads. But it is nothing like Niles version.

Maddy is the SPAN!!
Different words, slightly, but essentially the same song as "Hangman, Hangman," as sung by the Kingston Trio.
Steel eye span
Variant of Gallows Pole
As usual Gay makes the difference!
She does indeed.This was a great lineup,with the two excellent female singers,not heard since their debut album.I was lucky enough to see them live in 1996.Unforgettable! How time flies.
Great song, but unfortunately Not live
you are talking crap
James, what a charming reply, get your head out of your arse, of course this lip synced !!
why is it obviously lip synced? can't really see it myself
@@dutchy777 Because if you listen to the original album track (audio only), you can tell it's identical to what you hear on this clip.
@@Krzyszczynski maybe that's because they were that good...?
gallows pole is a adapation of a leadbelly song check your facts before making crass statements l bet you think steeleye wrote gaudette
JENNY COOPER The song is "Gaudete". Perhaps you should check spelling before making unnecessarily aggressive and offensive statements.
Leadbelly's song is also an adaptation. Bitch.
hey everyone, if Maddy was here right now with the three of you - would she be impressed? cool it people, have a cup of tea and a good lie down
Don't shave the private parts and you'll be just fine!
I wonder if Maddy Prior's bush is prickly lol
No, not lol. Keep your crude comment to yourself.
That sort of talk is frowned upon in middle class society Mr Cowley so definitely not lol, just cut it out!
