We came from church on Sundays, to listen in unintelligible jargon about fornication and pagan worship, which was good as long it didn't come through a Fender Stratocaster or. Gibson Les Paul through a Marshall amplifier. As rock was satanic, we were told. Osiris and Zarathustra? Oh, the religious were okay with pagan idols. 😊

Maddy still can, voice of an angel.The band is also great, though new ones...

This is music to save to our children.

grew up listening to these guys - glad to see they are still getting around

Got the earphones (ANC) on. Damn it you're right. Maddy's the best with or without ANC. As another Diva sang "Simply the Best."

Thank you, I wasn't aware of that.

I saw the band in Sydney around 1980 or so. Maddy Prior's voice hasn't changed in all the time in between. Magnificent.

I was picking this out on my ukulele and my girlfriend asked "What song is that ?" and I told her to get out and don't come back.

Would like to see video of Peg Leg Sailor if available

Jake, simply the finest of all song writers the UK ever produced. A unsung hero, cared less of fame and prominence but all 182 songs written were simply a gift

Just superb.

Beautiful version of a classic

Let's hear it for the bass player

Dang, Maddy sounded good here.

Superb as ever. I feel so lucky to have been with this bunch of ever changing hyper talented muscicans since they started out. Just simply magical.

When you can't reach the high notes time to give it up Maddy.

Classic

Remember playing darts in the local pub when this first came out.

This song is the only reason I keep coming back to Steeleye Span. I don't care much for their hat song and others, but THIS song is damned impressive! PS: I like the slower studio version better.

A comment on here said of Steeleye personnel being replaced , STEELEYE EVOLVES only replaced on the passing of Band Members , spoke with Maddy at their last performance at the Stables MK & I asked the question how much longer did she intend to perform , the answer was she loves live performance & as long as health is not an issue she will continue , MADDY I LOVE ❤️ YOU ❤️

A good honest folk band.. You can't go wrong 🎉

Will not miss an opportunity to see STEELEYE SPAN , so glad they have been a part of my music life since the 60,s , A FOLK ROCK LEGEND !!!

Looking forward to the version of this with Quo's Francis Rossi.

Just wow!

This is so, sooooo good...and it gets better with each listen!! That bass, that voice!! And the violin just brings me to tears, especially the passage at the end, he could have extended that for 20 minutes and I'd have stayed to listen!! Just superb all round!!

I think this song is the very best vehicle for all three of them. Shame about the drummer !!

Shivers down my arms!

Heerlijk nummer

My favorite version

Who could not like Steeleye Span...? Go to the back of the class...!

TUNE!!!! ENGLAND IN ITS GLORY.❤

kadim ses yüklendigi tarihden beri dinlerim

I remember when this was a hit in the UK in the 70s. Oh the diversity in popular music then. Cant imagine it being a hit now.

Magic

The thieve of Greece 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Did Dr. Who bring ye here? Where's the TARDIS? Holy mackerel! I'm stuck in medieval England 🇬🇧 Um...Guadete? I'm not! LOL 😅

Maddy Prior?

2024 jup I am here. Brilliant is it not.

Fabulous ❤

Takes me away to another place and time - in the mediaeval world!

I literally sang "SPRANG DANG BING BONG BLING BA DAM ME A MOOSE, PRING BA LING SING BE LING TANG," And Google figured out I was looking for this song, somehow

Maddy, my first love, her voice still rings true and pure

Top-notch!

I sung this as child, Catholic we sang in latin

Getting Odee now, that’s good.

Fantastic arrangement of a classic

Black face?

This reminds me of my dad. He was a storyteller and 'Thomas the Rhymer' was one of his favourite fairy tales. Unfortunately, he passed away last year. 😭

I first knew this from Hart & Prior albums!
