I was standing right in the middle in front of the sound tower. What a peformance. I never thought we would see and hear Swarb playing like that again. The man is a marvel.
Watching this made my hairs stand on end. I haven't listened to this for over 20 years. I only have this on vinyl so I can't listen to it! It's great to see this. I wish I had been there.
Chris does brilliantly. It must be pretty scary to sing in place of Sandy.
When we walked into the arena field just after 11am, this line-up was just finishing a sound-check, and they burst into the first verse of Come All Ye as I was walking past the stage, and the surprise just about lifted me off my feet - it was perfect! Chris While did a really great job of subbing Sandy. The whole Liege and Lief set later in the evening was just wonderful. Fantastic weekend.
You RT fans in the UK are very fortunate indeed. Perhaps the broadcast will make it to these shores in some form...someone will surely post it on YouTube. I have to think that RT and the band will not be overjoyed about that likelihood, what with the lack of remuneration such a posting would mean. But hey, I'll get L&L any way I can!
Thank you so much for posting this. I know I will be watching it again and again. This was the most wonderful, magical set. Chris was the perfect person to sing Sandys parts, she has a gorgeous voice - my God but she was brave taking it on! This years Cropredy was unreal - how will they ever top it? Even the weather couldnt have been better. Thanks again for this great reminder of a wonderful hour of my life!
I had been dying to see this but could not attend this year - I've got 15 Cropredies under my belt so I know WHAT I've been missing. This reminds me extra. Thanks for putting it up ...

Thank you for posting this! What a treasure! Would have liked to have been there. I hope this performance was filmed or taped for release as a DVD!
