Jerry and Richard both on lead guitar: double the pleasure! Lucky folks in Vienna,
So miss Sandy rip , great concert thanks for upload
The first line-up of Fairport I ever saw, just the year before this.
R.I.P. Swarb and Bruce Rowland. Hope Jerry is doing okay.
Thanks for uploading: maybe the last film of this great folk-rocking lineup.
Swarb is at his peak.
The mix brings out Peggy's great bass playing clearly.
Some mad chicken-clucking solos on the Hen's March (is that trad ?)
Great rendition of little Sir Bar-ley-he-he-he-corn, trad, its about whisky, a cautionary tale.
Rosie: Swarb wrote this song about his wife, memorable love song.
Walk a while by Swarb & Thompson great song about Swarb's wife again probably.
Their take on the Shadows Apache is a lot of fun (no folk but who cares).
Sloth: spine-tingling evocation of horrors: excelled here by
Thompson's guitar expressions
Peggy's ominous bass solo
Swarb, esp. psycho shower scene strings - nice touch
Thanks dear and amazing band...RIP SANDY DENNY
I was there! Wow! great seeing this after all these years,Fairports played during a storm on the Sunday night,closing the festival,RT and Jerry D....guested for the 'Hanks for the Memory' medley.Possibly Swarbs last gig ,i know he and the rest of the band were not talking......which was a wee bit awkward.There is also a clip of the Pogues......the dodgy weather meant that filming the festival for future tv transmission,only in Austria...was a slight problem.Happy days...my first visit to Vienna.
Any idea why Swarb was not talking to the rest of the band?
Die Jungs sind fantastisch.
Great Band,. Love it!! :D Swarby is Superb!!
A helluva solo from Richard Thompson on Sloth and then Peggy and Swarb lift off
Really a great document. Thank you for uploading !
Great to be able to hear this, thanks to all for making it available
GREAT CONCERT !!!!!!!
Tune after Wall of Death = Dirty Linen
That was a lot of fun!
Great to see this. Thanks for sharing. Actually it was not the last gig with Swarb & Bruce as full FC members. I saw the same line-up (without Richard) on august 23 1985 at the Heusden Festival in Belgium.
cheers, description updated. The concert you mention is not listed on FC gig archives online so good to know
What a great find!
Tune after Matty Groves = Sir B MacKenzie
great version of Sloth
I notice Peggy was already making that "A Jew, a Jew" joke about Joe Lustig that he was still introducing that song with in 1992.
Thanks for uploading! Interesting to see Nicol, Donahue and Thompson all playing Telecasters. How did that came about? I thought Hank Marvin was mainly famous for using a Strat?
What happened to Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór? I have an audiotaped recording of Swarb playing it beautifully with Simon, Peggy and (I believe) DM around this time at the Lone Star Roadhouse in Manhattan, and I was thrilled at the opportunity to see him perform it again with this similar version of the band when it was announced here, but then -- chop -- after 13 seconds it was gone. Very disappointing! (They also did Matt McGinn's unforgettable "The Dog's Party" at that Lone Star show!)
It's on the Live at Rock City, Nottingham 1987 album
Io c'ero. Bei ricordi
Sie haben in Wien gespielt?
I love the clucking chicken song played so beautifully on violin by Swarb (around 9 mins) don't know it's proper name tho!
Hens March through the Midden and The Four Poster Bed
If anyone can identify the unnamed tunes I will update description
Tunes medley after Matty is "Sir B. McKenzie"
Also, RT is playing on Walkawhile (even though the camera seems to be very shy of actually showing him!)
there is a short part of a song at 6:30 that know but dont know the name. it is bugging me. pleases let me know the name of the song
She bheag si mhor
@@zoranjovanovic7459 thank you. great song
i have recordings of that from a number of groups but i have first heard it from swarb and nicol.
TERRIFIC!!!!
