1st September 2020 completely by random chance I have just had coffee with George the roadie in Costa Coffee Tamworth. He doesn't look a day older (he told me to say) :-)
I was fortunate to be at the recording of the U.S. portion of Waiting For Columbus in Washington DC. These guys had to be the funkiest band in the land. Nothing in the world like Lowell George when he was in his groove. I must have seen Little Feat at least six or seven times. I give thanks that I was lucky to have seen Lowell and band back in the day as I don’t think we have witnessed anything like them again.
I love this line up. They were obviously having a whale of a time here! I couldn't help smiling from start to finish. Thank u for sharing this gem. Janis Singapore
Utterly wonderful.. Dave Pegg one of my favourite bass players.. I m delighted the lads were into Flann O Brien.. The Jams O Donnell reference is from The Poor Mouth( An Béal Bocht) for me his funniest book... Even funnier in the original Irish language he wrote it in
.. a perfectly working line up. Didn't know they performed such an excellent set (Flowers of the forest - Kenzie - Ditching Boy - Jigs) in this line-up
I remember the first time I heard this. It was on a bootleg CD of a Jethro Tull performance during the time that Peggy was in the band. They played it whilst Ian Anderson to a break from the stage. The idiot that made the sleeve notes misheard the title and listed it as Donald’s Chicks.
No, R.T. left in 1970, and was doing his own thing for years, still is. I think there were a few one off gigs here and there, but who knows? They probably don't even know themselves.
He was always getting bounced out of pubs... The crowd would see them pulling out instruments,they would all shout "Kick out the jams!" and it all went downhill from there.
Swarbrick was an innovator along with Simon Nicol, Dave Pegg, Bruce Rowland, and before that, Richard Thompson in Fairport. They brought a Folk Rock Psychedelia to the Musical Hippie Experiment that happened BITD. ALTBSBIPIO * * A Light That Burned So Brightly It Put Itself Out.
Hi chris Richard Thompson left in the early years , Sandy Denny also , she came back with Fairport her husband Trevor Lucas also there , Richard comes back at there annual croperdy weekend aka folk weekend . The line ups for the band change a lot in the 70s slowed down in the 80s to the present line up , unfortunately Judy dyball the first women to play for Fairport died this year kind regards Peter
@@peteryeates2458 Peter thank you very much for your reply. I am sorry that I didnt acknowledge this sooner. to be quite honest it goes to an e-mail that I rarely use anymore. But I do appreciate your response very much.
Swarb truly was the Prince of the Fiddle R.I.P. old milkman !

Peggy, bass player of the gods!
Fairport Convention has been great throughout the years no matter which musicians comprised the group.✌

What a line up of pure talent.
Amazing band , Amazing musicians. First class stuff !
Great fun from a great band with a great history. Great!
That was awesome!!! We all love you, Dave Swarbrick!
See, not all folk music leads to suicide.Thanks again for sharing these gems.
Simon Nicol... Rock God!!
Love stage acting....Peggy and looks fun with Simon too...
Amazing musicians.
i was lucky enough to see this line up at a festival they were brillant
First footage I've seen of Simon Nicol playing an electric guitar solo.
For Simon, that's pretty crazy stuff.
Get the Live in Finland album Barry...;)
@@brianparker663 I'll check it out Brian.

Fantastic
Simon Shreds!!! Amazing!!!!!
Three chairs for George ! Deserved a heartier response.
...And a great time was obviously had by all! This is great fun! Thank you SO MUCH for posting!

Fine video. Thanks for the this upload!
Excellent! Remember seeing them in Aberdeen performing as simply Fairport on the Chug-a-Lug tour.
Always love the ending to this..only Bruce knew what was happening ...Swarb Peggy and Si expected more...maybe Bruce was off to the pub
Great stuff!
This is interesting. I've never seen them before as a quartet. I always saw them as a quintet or sextet. They have so many inacrnations.
Simon does a great pastiche of the guitar hero !
Fun! And great playing. A very other band from that the year before, "gottle o geer" band, that band did not hang together.
If I didn't know better I'd say this was Gentle Giant.
Simon doing a passable Wilko Johnson!

folk rock show!!!
I am very new to FC but I love them, a question please: was Richard Thompson not with them at this time?
No, R.T. left in 1970, and was doing his own thing for years, still is. I think there were a few one off gigs here and there, but who knows? They probably don't even know themselves.
No Richard had left by the early 70s...he did join up occasionally over the yrs for the odd gig usually at Cropredy
Phwat is yer nam?
Me nam is Jams O’Donnell!
Dave Swarbrick in his look like Geoffrey Hayes from childrens TV show Rainbow period !! ..or Vice Versa..
Fabulous. Wish Simon had went a bit mad more often!
And the first and only Vertigo album, was it?
Tipplers Tales also on Vertigo....:)
Great clip! Shame about the interlacing
