        I saw them live on the 'Storm Force Ten' tour when they did a cracking version of 'The Black Freighter'. I'd like to have seen them many years ago when they used to perform 'The Lyke Wake Dirge' dressed in monastic habits and bathed in eerie blue light- apparently tripping hippies could get quite weirded out thinking their end had appeared..

        I like their version of 'Rave On' too...

              Interesting. Not a band I'm familiar with; don't think they ever made a splash stateside.
              This tune's a bit on the dirge-y side, which is not my cup of tea for an 8-minute tune.
              Good musicianship. But very evocative of that Fairport Convention early 70s school.

              • More Steeleye, in AFAIK their heaviest era -- love this song, love this album.

                    I really like 'Alison Gross'- I even remember the advertising campaign for their 'Past/Old Masters' l.p. compilation which featured a seriously ugly Mediaeval/Early Renaissance image for 'Alison Gross'...

                    Yeah, a bit full-on for an introduction I'll admit. Try this :




                    If you ever happen to see a copy of that album, it's very collectable and worth $$$$$$$
