Acousting Strawbs - a Glimpse of Heaven

[DarnSarf]

Apparently Dave Cousins wrote this whilst walking the clifftop walk from Beer to Sidmouth. That's where he caught his glimpse of heaven. Takes me back to better days. Music was infinitely superior then.

If this is a glimpse of Heaven, I'm going to be a good boy from now on.

they played this last night in pittsburgh, pa. what a performance. very intimate, very approachable. still get shivers thinking of it!

[frankrot]

Great to see them here. Especially Dave Cousins. Wow!

[pianonfire]

Does someone know the name of the guitar on the right?

[gr8fuldadbk]

@pianonfire think it's a Dean Markley made somewhere in jersey, I think

[HarryHaller1963]

Fabulous recording of an amazing song. Especially impressed with the separation of Brian on the left channel and Dave L. on the right in the break strain.

Where is Chas Cronk?

Chas Cronk is alive and well and is on Myspace. do a google search for his name and you'll get all the info that you need.

Brilliant! Don't make 'em like that these days, lads! 'Lay Me Down' is a classic too. This is gorgeous.

My goodness, how this takes me back! Still perfect after so many years. My children will love this too - I sang it to them as a bedtime song for so many years.

[ibeme1965]

I agree Semente - this song is so moving. I often sing it to myself when the sun is shining and I think all is well with the world. How come only 716 people have seen this video?

[Colyerisking]
