Fairport Convention (Original line up, Judy Dyble etc) Morning Glory, 1968

[skener78]

is this available in its entirety. i have a multi-region dvd player that can handle old american colourtv signals. but black n white would be cool also.

[bendbadgersteve]

Great guitar break by Thompson. Powerhouse band and stayed that way with Denny. Dyble was good in her own right.

[Mikemaniax]

It's not Ian MacDonald, it's Ian Matthews.

[hizzert]

@Mikemaniax

Ian McDonald and Ian Matthews are the same person.

[Mikemaniax]

@hizzert Oh yeah... Forgot that was his real name. Sorry, thought you confused him for the original wind player from King Crimson who Judy Dyble collaborated with in Giles, Giles, and Fripp.

[ab77blues]

Looks like Richard and Simon swapped guitars for this one

[nunuloki]

If you ever want to discover just how talented Richard Thompson is, listen to some of his solo albums, particularly "Henry the Human Fly". This guy is an undiscovered genius.

[cretsina]

what's the lead guitarists name?

[scragger07]

@cretsina Richard Thompson mate!

[rocktenniscat]

Dear Martin Lamble.  How tragic. RIP.

[67psych]

@rocktenniscat I know! Its great to see footage of Martin! he helped create some amazing music that will still be listened to 100 years from today!! He will never be forgotten,he was such a young Guy!!

[SAHBfan]

I didn't realise Judy Dyble played the recorder...

[oixor387]

Can't wait to the see the full colour upload of the entire show! :-D :-D :-D

[realdinho]

SIMPLY MAGICAL!!!

I remember seeing clips of them with Sandy doing Si tu dois partir on Top of the Pops, maybe? There are pics around but what about the footage?

[kc7fys]

Wow, this "far out" affect is HUGE. I love this stuff. Richard has come a L O N G, LONG way.

[w9x7cv3vg6]

I heard tell of these guys back then but I dont think I seen any records on airplay,glad to have these now for my collection..thanks

[sirPUNKsir]

absolutely fantastic! Cant wait to see more!

[pedrofinia]

yep great vids you have these are priceless thanx for sharing

[SuperDoobrie]

Hey Jonnybrilliant, thanks for uploading these, very brilliant and moving - any more from the vaults?...

[RG39]

Wonderful!!

[thewordofgord]

My god, Ian Matthews singing my favourite Tim Buckley song, with Judy Dyble playing recorder. Amazing beyond words! Had no idea this existed.

Look forward to the rest.

god have mercy on my soul!

Oh my God - stunning. As shocking as finding "Lark in the Morning" by the Martin Carthy era Steeleye Span in what appears to be somebody's hotel room.

[Strumalot]

Great to see these vids after so many years - I think I was there with them - but I can't remember for sure - it was the 60's! Thanks Jude - thanks Jon, John Penhallow

[Narina27]

this is astonishing. i have been a Fairport Convention fan for over 30 years, own every record and almost all their 45s and i had not seen or heard this. clearly taken from the same program taping for Time will show the wiser. these guys were totally hip on the west coast sound. they were accused of ripping off the Jefferson Airplane sound, but they chose to cover LA artists like Tim Buckley (here) and Joni Mitchell, in addition to masterful covers of Dylan. thanks YouTube to bring this to light

[jondoe8889]

@Narina27 - well, Ian does have those Jack Casady shades...

[Sarahfreckle]

Never thought I'd hear this again. This was a regular song in their repertoire in those days. Thanks for posting!

[captainsoul1953]

Richard Thompson played great even way back when

[captainsoul1953]

GodBless  Matin Lamble.the origfnal Fairport drummer

[JudyD9]

Iain used the name Ian MacDonald when this song was recorded, he changed it to Ian Matthews when he left Fairport to avoid confusion with King Crimson's Ian McDonald. He now spells his name 'Iain'

I'm just saying as well ...all credit has been correctly given where due...

[mercer77]

Amazing footage! thanks for posting!

[Ptrgamb]

There is also a version of this song on the first (and only good) Blood Sweat & Tears record with Steve Katz singing lead.

[kerouacoo2]

so good to see this. unsurpassable version of a great song. thanks johnny...any more up your voluminous sleeve?

[Killie03]

Brilliant Jonny! Can't wait for the rest. Thanks for posting, and sharing this gem...

[vandergraaf78]

My God!!!! It's second part of gig from French TV!!!! Thank you jonnybrilliant !!!! You are great!!!! This performing is just fantastic!! This version of 'Morning Glory' is incredible!! Ian Matthews sings beautiful !!! I love this one! I still can't believe that I saw it.

[Shandybrother]

love to see the other vids from the session

[rpopstar]

this is fantastic..i didn't know that fairport had ever covered this...and yes, tim buckley is the writer...originally the closing song on his second album "goodbye and hello."

Chrissie Hynde does a great version of this too...

[LotusLight7]

Wasn't this originally a Tim Buckley song? Great version though!

[barrowsb]

Superb! RT was on fire, man! Looking forward to the rest of this ... big time!
