Magical.
❤ Old school folk masterpiece ❤
Back in 2024 for this
Peter Knight RULES OK !!!
I'm sorry but this is truly awful compared to the version on Hark The Village Wait. Almost pretentious.
Mi favorite steeleye song!
Always loved this track, and the denouement!
"Spake"? Steeleye Span belong in a classic fantasy book, and its world as well.
Besides being one of the greatest vocalists ever, Maddie Prior is the sexiest woman I've ever beheld!
You r sick
Gorgeous piece. Is the violin/fiddle in need of maintenance? The microphone? Maybe the performer was nervous. The sound jerked abruptly back and forth from very loud to barely audible. Update: re-listening, the worst was at the beginning so probably nervousness. I know part of it was the style, but it was quite clumsy at first. Violin strings need oil maybe
Ye Jacobites my name is another song from this historical period.
here in 2023. loving it.
My favorite version of this song. From Parcel of Rogues, to other live versions, this one rocks out. Love Maddy's dancing as well. I first found the group when I found a cut out of Rocket Cottage in 1976. I was hooked. Still am. Amazing music over the decades.
I think I prefer the version on Sails of Silver, which makes more use of Maddy's voice and contains the intense and haunting bell-like "One by one" ("He wondered if his shipmates / Were ready just to pray and give in / So he called their names out one by one / But there was no-one else around but him"). Ken Nicol's guitar solo on this version doesn't quite gel with the rest of the song. Good, but not *quite* as good as the Sails of Silver version.
The Corries also do a great version of this.
Magic
Great bunch of folks !! Great song !!
2023 and still such a moving anthem......
These guys are so lucky to have Maddy as their singer!
Incredible Voice and best arrangement for this traditional folk song !
Great music , accompanied me for 40 years of my live. But now we need your help again. Throw those fashist green party war makers out of germany. Help
Magic😀
very well...................................................................................................................
Rick Kemp. Fantastic bass player.
Absolutely LOVE Steeleye Span!!! ....Just ,Fantastic !! xx
Brilliant. I doubt you'll ever see a street performer try and cover this one ;)
Great ! What key is that sung in?
Liam is an amazing talent. Every note is bang on.
Richard Thompson doing this solo is awesome
Bruh this solo!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow
Nice upbeat treatment of the song - thanks.
Seems like a terribly difficult song to sing but Maddie nails it!
very very well..................................................................
Can someone please tell me what this song is about. Is it about a accident that happened
That fiddle alone is amazing, and Maddy's voice along with it takes it to another level . . .
Beautiful song❤
I've loved Steeleye Span for years now. First came across them in about '73/4 and saw them live a couple of times. They were always better live than on the albums and had some amazing concerts. The strangest one I saw was at the Hexagon in Reading in about '88. I think the audience were either dead or doped! Maddie called for everyone to dance in the aisles and my wife and I were up in a flash. Almost immediately, there were calls from all around for us to sit down and stop spoiling the show. Encouraged by Maddie, we kept going - until the manager came down and told us if we didn't stop we would be thrown out!
That is a hymn.
Why does she always wear the most awful outfits? She looks dreadful. And even worse when she tries to dance.
bravi da sempre per sempre.... Maddy la tua voce fa sempre venire i brividi.. 🥰🥰
timeless. from the word go.
Covered by the Hollies on the "What Goes Around" project but only issued in New Zealand as the B-side of "Stop in the name of love".
It is not 'incomprehensible' if you speak Scots. 🤦♀️
They always add a magic element to every song they take on. Maybe that's their intangible gift
This is a bawdy Jacobite mocking song about when our Bonnie Prince Charlie fled to france to raise money for the Jacobite cause, he took up residence in a brothel, kittle housie. This song describes the whole saga. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_Ye_O%27er_Frae_France Cam ye o'er frae: came you over from Lunnon: London Geordie Whelps: diminutive of George I. Whelp an ill-bred child. Guelph: a political faction to which the House of Hanover belonged. kittle housie: tickle house (brothel)[3] goosie: diminutive of goose; nickname for the King's mistress Melusine von der Schulenburg, Duchess of Kendal, (at the kittle housie saw Geordie Whelps a riding on the goosie, means...um well...just use your imagination THE REST IS HISTORY!
Maddy has a most amazing voice! Loving' the arrangement too.
As ever glorious. Thank you both.
This performance is so dark and deep and old, it vibrates in the gut. The heart of the Celts..
It's an English folk song - nothing to do with the 'Celts'.
@@Wotsitorlabart You don't know where this 'english folk song' originated. The rhythm, lyrics, or the melody could very well have everything to do with the 'celts'.
@@libbyhicks7549 Because it is English, that's where folksong collectors have noted the song. Also known as 'Three Maids a Milking Did Go', 'Three Pretty Maidens', and 'The Bird in the Bush' and frequently printed on Victorian broadsheets. As we know it is English for it to be 'Celtic' it would have to be over 1400 years old (prior to the Anglo-Saxon invasions) which even you must admit is a tad unlikely.
@@Wotsitorlabart I will say that many folk tunes that were put to paper by a certain society during a certain era, were actually passed down in the oral tradition for many hundreds of yrs prior and could easily have originated in Celtic lands.
@@libbyhicks7549 English songs were taken up by Irish and Scots musicians and vice versa. But in most cases the origins of the song are known or can be deduced by the tune structure, lyrics etc and the locations of where it has been collected. The song in question is indisputably English in origin and has no 'Celtic' connections. Interestingly, if you take a look at videos of Planxty playing 'The Blacksmith' many of the comments wax lyrical about the fantastic Irish song. It's actually English.
That guitar was in tune when he bought it.
