Incredible String Band reunion on Icelandic TV '03

http://www.cinefear.com - More String Band, this was a reunion group headed by Mike Heron and Clive Palmer, Clive from the original String Band. Williamson was doing solo. Here they perform Chinese White, and truth be told it never sounded better. I saw them at Joe's Pub in New York shortly after this, they were great!

Perhaps it's a matter of taste, but I absolutely love Mike Heron's voice for its open humanity - the perfect foil to the otherworldly brilliance of Robin Williamson.

Robin, Robin, where art thou :( It's just not the same without him.

Clive Palmer on banjo. It's lovely, but no Robin, no ISB.

[kumgangpoepsa]

Who's the banjo player here? Thanks

@beakeral:... otherworldly brilliance... that's it.

Very good rendition. I'd love to see them if they get together again for another UK date. Do you mind if I leave a link for my own ISB song/video - 'Back In The 1960s' - please? :)

@beakeral Agreed.

So great to see the Incredible String Band playing again - Mike heron is a great talent. I saw them play in the Royal Festival Hall in London in '69 and get a 15 minute standing ovation from the entire audience.
