Fairport Convention at the Maidstone Fiesta, Summer'70, performing 'Flatback Caper' and 'Jenny's Chickens & The Mason's Apron' From the film (available on DVD) directed by Tony Palmer.
I have been mesmerized for the last 72 hours by FC and Swarb in particular, after a friend turned me on to them. I can't stop listening to the Maidstone Fiesta clips! Help!
the band playing is ok - I like the quicker stuff (its in time! -joke)
On your list - famous artists tend to hire famous drummers - it does not mean they are great players or technical players
Paul Mac has played with Steve Gadd Ringo Ian Paice and Keith Moon off the top of my head
Very different drummers but Steve Gadd and Ian Paice were a class above the others and indeed most drummers you have ever heard unless you listen to a lot of Jazz
@pinball1970 Tull has had a few drummers and Mattacks has been one of them. About the names I mentioned, yes I am serious, I even skipped about 25 other singers and groups he played with. Maybe he had an off day, but the fact remains he was a very in demand drummer during the seventies, eighties, nineties...

@pjotr60dvd you almost get the feeling the Spinal Tap parody on a multitude of drummers is a Tull based joke

@pinball1970 Depends on the version. He is on the original with Sandy Denny. Fairport has had other drummers in the 80ies.
