Maddy's voice is much gentler here than on the album version. I rather like this one.

beautiful.

Whenever I need my attitude adjusted, I play Steeleye Span...real desperation calls for another view of my DVD of this concert. I get myself a Maddy-tude! A much better perspective!

i love this band. I saw them on the liverpool empire, in the early 80's. I hate to say it, but the place was nearly empty. Still all the beter for me i nearly had the band to myself. I have never had a night like it. Best band in the world

well i thought it was a euphimism for sex in any context



Sorry guys, but I don't understand the concern about one brain-dead idiot. Yet again, Youtube allows us access to footage to one of the folk taditions greatest practitioners of the 20th century. I go to bed smiling and happy, anyway!

@ktel60 Actually you're just refering to a slang usage. The song Gypsy Laddie or Black Jack Davie originated as a Childs ballad in 1720. Its based on the exploits of a Scottish Romany Davy Faa and was in use long before the term became slang. The lyrics have more in common with the Gypsy laddie than a pimp.
