Steeleye Span 1971-02-26
Gaumont State Theatre, London, England
Set 1
Here?s a clip from NME March 6 71:
"In their opening spot, Steeleye Span warmed the audience with a selection of rearranged traditional ballads, songs and reels; the highlight being a cappella treatment of 'King' and the Buddy Holly classic 'Rave On'. Following in the wake of Pentangle and Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span are a very fine little band especially when one considers that it contains such superb musicians as violinist Pete Knight, guitarist and dulcimer player Tim Hart plus Ashley 'Tyger' Hutchings on bass and the renowned Martin Carthy on guitar. Completing the group is vocalist and spoons basher Maddy Prior whose little poems helped immensely to loosen up the audience in such a sombre auditorium. " ROY CARR
Songs: 2/ Lark in the Morning 3/ the King 4/ Cold Haily Windy Night 5/ Instrumental
6/ Bright Morning Star (great a cappella!)* just turned up 33 years later on Steeleye Spans new album Winter, Nov 2004.
7/ Rave On 8/ Female Drummer
and just to complete 1/ False Knight on the Road. /a total of 28 minutes/
