Similar to Steeleye Span version. They both do some untraditional things to make the song "weirder." Very nice to compare, both great.

Love me some Old Blind Dogs. Pandora discovery...Heard this song for the first time when I was ten or eleven and its stuck in my memory into my twenties. Amazing song.
-
Man! That live version is da bomb! I just discovered OBD. And the Boys of Bedlam. I listened to a half dozen versions. This is the best! IMHO. On to more OBD, away. . .
-
Yeah, but...due to the syncopation, I had trouble recognizing "The Rights of Man" at the beginning. Not necessarily a bad thing, since I liked it, but I really had to listen to make it out.

It's true that Pluto is an old god, but Jews existed even before the Greeks raised as a nation, or were gathered enough to have a culture; there are remnants of the Jews (descendant of Abraham) beeing in Egypt, Babylon and Persia. By times of the Babylons the Greek civilization had just been born!
-
Theocratically speaking, yes, but the first written version of this ballad appeared during the 16th century, after the Bedlam (St. Mary of Bethleham, I believe, was the official name) institution was established in England. Elizabethian writers and poets would be as likely to use either. Is there a dated source to settle this?
-
Pluto would probably be older, considering Pluto was around as the Roman God of the Underworld (apropriated from the Greek Hades, of course) long before any of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam, in that order) came around.
-
I like this version; it sounds more traditional. Are there any folklorists who can tell me which phrase: "Pluto's kitchen" or "Satan's kitchen" is older? Both would make sense for the time period...
-
Fantastic song... I agree with the fellow above: modern sounding but still very traditional.

Where is the live version from?
Might have been there.

I'm not sure. It was released on the 1999 album "Live", and I read somewhere that it was recorded in Aberdeen.

I also prefer the live version, which is why I put both on together, so people could 'compare and contrast'...
