Crowds were not as animated when I was young: at concerts, sporting events, etc. Somehow there is an expectation now that you're supposed act as if it's Mardi Gras at any public event. There is very funny clip on YouTube of Sly and the Family Stone singing "Dance to the Music" in the early 1970s, and nobody is moving a toe!
Wow! I have found the way to hear the Clip as if you are being in the Concert and hearing it in live. It's increadible to hear this cool music in live. You must try!!!!
The best part about this music is that no matter how bad life is, you can listen to this and all the sorrows melt away like snow in the spring, I must say if you dont tap your foot to this you dont have a pulse
This is a gift from above, thanks bilko. I can't believe I'm actually "seeing" a band I've loved for 2 decades. RIP Michael Your singing brought light into my life up on many occasions.
The Bothy Band really blew me away back in the late 70's and got me listening to Irish music.I had grown up in Scotland and was used to hearing Scottish music being murdered by kilted accordionists who probably lived in shortbread tins. So to hear Irish music that was so dynamic was a real paradigm shift!

I just love Dónal's backing @ 2:55. Pity it can't be heard so well. Sweet memories...

Old Hag is my favourite all time folk album.
Must have played it a thousand times, strange to see them on a real video.

I've seen several of the 1976 Embankment videos posted and they seem to be the same arrangements as on their "Old Hag You Have Killed Me" album.
