A few weeks back people were asking about Steeleye Span.
I just saw them in Philadephia with Renaissance and Fairport Convention on
Friday and Saturday nights. (Complete luckout, as I live in California.)
They were going to Washington, New York, Boston, and Toronto. Nothing on the
West Coast.
They played about 45 minutes. As well as I can remember:
Hard Times of Old England
Black Jack Davy
Black Lung Miner
Let Her Go Down (Swim for Your Lives)
Thomas the Rhymer
When I Was on HorseBack
All Around My Hat
Cam Ye O'er Frae France
Royal Forester
Gaudete
There are a few songs I can't remember.
It was one of the best concerts (allowing for the short performance) I've
been to. Maddy Prior's voice is magnificent, and she used a wide dynamic
range. The group played together precisely...of course they're pretty
familiar with the material. I would recommend getting tickets immediately,
and hope this message makes it to some of you in time to make a difference.
