this sublime clip deserves more than one comment. thanks for putting it up.

Wow, this version is sooo good. Richard Thompson's guitar is the best in the universe, perhaps only challenged by Neil Young.

I was there too. Incredible day and an incredible night. I'd forgotten about the Japanese tempura! I had a huge crush on Simon Nichol. Still have, truth be known.

I was there, my first Festival, Was talking to Cathy at a stall, never knew who she was, I was too wide eyed! She has a voice and a half. I didn't search for this, it was in someone elses collection. I was in the crowd, been dancing, and drinking wine and had some japanese Tempura and I thought I was in heaven! We went back to our tents, some sang, played tunes and it was amazing. It was the day I became a vegetarian, -now 44, and older, I miss my younger self! Cheers for posting this. Memories!
