Al Stewart in great form, performing to a mesmerised audience at De Kring theatre, in Roosendaal, The Netherlands, October 7th, 2008.
The song is called 'Hanno The Navigator' from Al's new CD, 'Sparks of Ancient Light'
A friend suggested that this song was not yet on YouTube, so here it is now.
The video work here could be better, but a dynamic performance, and (of course) quality listening material.
Please do check out an excellent version of 'Year of the Cat' from the same gig:

Just saw Al Stewart in concert -- Oct 2009. Amazing voice. Sang several songs off this album along with historic great songs. Live performance very good quality. Highly recommend seeing Al live in concert.

Saw him in 76 at hamersmith odeon in london and seen him loads of times since. A great musician who still wirtes the most wonderful melodic songs just listen to the guitar solo in this song.

Saw Al on Sunday in Southampton and just got back from the Bristol gig. He peformed this with Laurence Juber and Gabby Young tonight. Amazing, nothing more to say really.

I saw him live on friday in the U.K. and he was magnificent, accompanied by Laurence Juber who is an extraordinary guitarist.
You're absolutely right though about the U.S. music industry and it's unfortunate inability to successfully promote 'real music'. There is so much popular garbage being fed to the public who may not have the motivation to seek out the real quality which exists elsewhere.

One day, I'll make one of his concerts (again). I was introduced to this guy in college by a teaching asst. I RARELY meet anyone that even knows who he is. It's too bad that we Americans prefer whats marketed to us rather than seek out something special and unique like AS.
