The more I hear this incredible track the better it gets the craft of the sublime voice of Maddy Prior just blows me away , LONG LIVE STEELEYE !!!!!!!!!!!
Some 40 years after first hearing Steeleye Span, I finally was able to attend a performance 23 July 2015 at B.B. King's Blues Club in NYC. Worth the wait!
Good for you! I was very very privileged to listen to Maddy P performing at Brampton High School (Cumbria) in about 1990. I was actually in our back bedroom, wine in hand, of our 17c sandstone house that backed onto the School's playing fields where the marquees where planted. Maybe 200/300 at the event plus me at the window. I know it is bonkers but I even now I feel as if that concert was just for me!
Watched this line up last Christmas time in Newcastle, they were terrific, Jessie fitted like a glove, hope to see Dodgy Bastards posted live, was superb to watch live Stevie L Edinburgh
Have followed them from the very beginning and I have seen almost every line up , they never fail to entertain , always have good musicians and do not lower their level of ability. This version is very good with Jessie an able replacement for Peter. Great stuff.
Holy Crap! Have you ever heard violin like that? I sure haven't, and I'm an old man now......Mindblowin! - that does it, gonna have to get this album........better late than nevva.......
Fine version of this song. After all these years and a lot of line up changes, they are still great !
40 years later and they still define the genre 'Celtic Rock'. Maddy always is having fun. And excellent song as usual.
It's English, not Celtic. The tunes and songs are mostly English and some Scottish folk.
Let's hear it for Jessie May Smart!!!!!!! She is awesome!!!!! (29 May 2022)
The way this band constantly renews and re-energises itself is just breath-taking.

Utterly Utterly Superb . Glad I was there .
Had a couple of pints with Rick Kemp a couple of years back. A great bloke with so many stories.
Superb, Maddy Prior!

What a fantastic band life just wouldn't be the same without the span,
First of all. A fantastic song. Second, a fantastic violinist. A atlas fantastic performance. The new Steeleye Span.
Electric Folk at it's BEST
Amazing musicianship
Just fantastic, followed SS for many many years and still as good as the first time I heard them
Jessie May Smart got to be the best violinist I have ever heard, pure genius 🎻
She is great indeed. Ever heard Peter Knight though ? His band is Gigspanner.
Dave Swarbrick will always be my favourite. But she's pretty darned good.
They were big boots to fill, however, Jessie May does it effortlessly.
Now they have Octavia Hawksley Walker... Absolutely outstanding

Espantosa interpretação! 40 anos e a vitalidade musical continua...
This is fantastic brilliant and beautiful
Spantastic!
This is easily as good as the album version . Great to see a decent quality recording of this great performance. Thanks Park Records!
Fabulous, Fantastic
Fantastic 😊
Absolutely fantastic 👏
Shared a brandy with her at Bampton Morris 1973. Twas a wet day but gorgeous
Wonderful!
This is flipping great !
FANTASTIC
Dang, Maddy sounded good here.
Slinky drummer, good touch.
Indeed. He's fucking good mate.
Pretty sure he played with Gerry Rafferty, too?
Liam is a wonderful drummer, as well as a lovely man.

I first knew this from Hart & Prior albums!
I guess they have no plans to come to Japan!?
Have loved SS for 45+ years. Love this. Check out Olivia Chaney’s version and also her with Offa Rex.
Maddy still sings wonderfully!
I love this shit. Must be the Viking Celt in me blood.
its niether of those.
Too bad the video doesn't sync up with the music at a lot of points. They might've used some different recordings to get better vocals or solo's
This sounds a little like Jefferson airplane.
Wife of ushers well?
