That fucking guitar! but don't over look Pete Zorn's influence on sax or Mattacks on drums(massive) Possibly UK's best Guitarist and Drummer ever(although I love Bob Henrit!)

Now this is how It's should be played!!!

@SAHBfan Pegg was in Jethro Tull's band as bass player as well as being in Fairport Convention. Went with the whole Tull band "look" at that time.

Thompson's the greatest rock'n'roll guitarist the UK has ever produced, and should be recognised as such.

Good to see Simon Nichol with his Kellogg's Corn Flakes guitar! RT has most of Fairport Convention out there burning it up with him!

I saw him last night in Albany, NY. His guitar solos on this song last night were MUCH better than in this video
