Just when I thought there was nothing else to listen to, I discover Bert Jansch, then Pentangle ,then Fairport. I guess when I was younger, I just didnt appreciate this stuff, but I'm ready now. Bring it on !!

Have always loved the 'Bert and John' acoustic groove on this song. Remember it at the time as being quite distinctive and original. Great musicianship and together playing without effects and amplification. Thanks for the upload!

@sorova :) Go watch a younger singer like Jessie J then. I'm happier with real music.

OK, guys, I love Pentangle too. Got the box set, seen most of the older TV clips and am just now catching up with the 2008 stuff. But you can tell they're a little rusty here. McShee, mainly, sounds hoarse and ill-rehearsed. But don't get me wrong: If they ever truly re-form and make it back to America, I will crawl on hands and knees if needed, because I've still never seen them live.

Fairport Convention and Sandy are as good as the best old wines, the older the better and perfect!!!

Oh, magestic ! Lovely hearing this again.And its so special seeing them all together.They were and still are brilliant, everyone of them so essential.Not having a television, and for a long while now not being able to go to any gigs this was a sheer delight to stumble upon.Thankyou.
Truly truly truly amazing..!!! If I was to hear this just on audio, I could be fooled into thinking that it from their prime.. Great great musicians.. They are up there with Paul Simon..!!!
I shall be coming to England this June.. Can someone please tell me if they are playing??
Many tx:)))

Hi Cat, they're playing the Royal Festival Hall on June 29th, 40 years to the night that Sweet Child was recorded there, the show is sold out but I just picked up a ticket on eBay. I'm going to see them in Glasgow too.
