Fairport Convention - RENO NEVADA - 1968 Bouton Rouge TV clip, Judy Dyble, Iain Matthews etc

Part 3 of the 1968 Bouton Rouge French tv show. Featuring the original Fairport Line up of Judy Dyble, Iain Matthews, Simon Nicol, Tyger Hutchings, Richard Thompson, and the late Martin Lamble. Staggering, rarely seen performance, capturing the band in there very early, and now often said best period. Enjoy.

This video shows well what Judy Dyble brought to the early sound. Great camera work on those fingerboard close-ups. This belongs in a museum.

I would like to be in England at this time when bands like Fairport Convention started career. Thank you for this great performance! It's magic!

They sounded like the Brit answer to the Grateful Dead, especially RT's improvisation reminds me of how Jerry Garcia played back then.They soon were to drop their 'West Coast' sound for more of a traditional Brit folk one.

F.C. is a great band... I remember hitch hiking thru Europe back in 1974 and many of the French who picked me up really liked F.C. I was somewhat in "culture shock" cause I didn't really know Europe...but they knew lots of music... my best to them all!

@JudyD9 LOL! So i can now reveal to the world that you left the band to concentrate on your knitting!! I just have to say that The 1st Fairport album has always been my favourite,since i first heard it in 1993 when i was 18.

@thewordofgord This track was Influenced by The Butterfield Blues Band Track EAST/WEST from 1966.All of the Frisco Bands were also influenced by this song seemingly!! As they mentiojn it in interviews!The Butterfields sent the crowds at the Fillmore in 1966 into a frenzy with the song,probably like Fairports did At Middle Earth with this song!!
