Great tune. The video is about 1/4 second behind the audio but just a quibble.

David Pallant

They all look so young!!

Philip Aerts

This totally rocks.Imagine being there! Can't understand why most of the people sitting near the stage aren't DANCING!! If I were there, I'd be getting my groove on!

Wonderful stuff. DM and Peggy are a superb rhythm section. I love Swarb's vocals on some songs, he sounds (and looks!) like a singing cockney spiv. Simon's verse shows how reticent and tentative a singer he was in those days, you wouldn't believe it is the same person who sings today, if you hear him singing "Who knows where the time goes" for example, his voice has matured and mellowed like a fine wine.

The colours on this video are wonderful.

Ngiyax: this was all filmed by aliens! As soon as they got back to Alpha Centauri they posted the videos on youtube - space travel is a slow business...

What exactly are these "Ainsdale Beach Tapes"? You've posted several videos of Fairport in one of their best lineups, all obviously recorded at the same venue, but I'd like to know more about them, please? Where are they coming from? Who recorded them?

Robert Lazaneo

I saw this version of Fairport Convention at Winterland. They opened for King Crimson. I never stayed to see the headliner. They were that good!
