Awesome. Thank you very much for this amazing show.

Dave Swarbrick has been a musical influence on me as a violin player with his amazingly diverse command of everything it takes to remove any presupposed distinctions between 'fiddle' and 'violin' music, or between folk rock and psychedelia for that matter! In any case, Fairport Convention was and is a great connection to what it means to Be In the Moment. And there is nowhere that this occurs more directly than in playing music that way. Check out also, "What We Did On Our Holidays".

Sickens me that they even agreed to a lip synch performance

Made in 1997 you wouldn't know the folk revival was already underway, Palace Brothers and others in the US serving up accustic lowfi, Alasdair Roberts in Scotland collecting and recording traditional and modern songs, first with Appendix Out. In 1996, All The Pretty Little Horses song cycle with Current 93, and Nick Cave, restarting Shirely Collin's lapsed musical career...

Impossible to think such a beautiful concert would be allowed, let alone celebrated, in the racist cesspit that modern day Britain has become.

He has the mood

Yet another video where no-one mentioned Steve Hackett, sad

Fairport and Cropredy, sheer brilliance and an eminently spiritual place.

Tabla solo ❤ 42:10

Where is shams ud doha

Lovely and mention of the great Seamus Ennis

Lovely to watch, as not seen this before. Thank you for uploading.

Wah Subhanallah Boht khub.....❤

Even ‘lip syncing’ as they were here, they were natural and effective and fun to watch - Phil’s background as a stage actor and theater person really gave him a little extra pizazz as a performer.

They seem like wonderful guys who loved each other-brothers of the road with such a deep musical connection-And then there were Three, and here they were. I hope they’re still friends.

The only wrong thing is the serious and excessive tone of importance of the speaker...

Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel getting awards, introduced by Ray Davis. Three British legends…

I WANNA BE THERE ❤

Great guys, great music and, absolute legends(in their own lifetime!!!). Thanks, for all the pleasure, and, grandeur - your music has put into my life!!! Yours sincerely, Stewart Samuel Drabble(a lifelong fan!!!).

Lovely clip of Soft Machine in the studio.

I dig the inclusion of the commercials from the original telecast, too. I have a great interest in British pop culture.

Superb; an unsung gem of his collection, featuring some his most acerbic and withering lyrics- showcases his genius in spades

Fairport Convention were in a class of their of their own. Superb.

The latest DVD reissue of the movie has a commentary by Tony Palmer denying every one of the allegations made about him here and saying it was an honour to work with such a genius. However the Zappa trust superbox CD set has the audio of him threatening to burn the rushes. We shall never know.

Richard? Please release this on a dvd or blu ray in excellent quality before we're all dead.

Khan Sahab was a devine soul in human body. What an incredibly great artist he was. Kudos to his genius. Long live your name Khan Sahab. May Allah pak bless you with the highest place in jannat. Ameen Ameen Summa Ameen Ya rab ul Al meen.

I have a lot to learn. . .

This was my first Cropredy and I've been to everyone since. I never imagined I'd see it again - Great!

Eric the love of my life😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

27:29 if u from Small Heath the u defo known Shazia 😂

My favorite musician through my twenties.

Swarb brilliant as ever on fiddle!

Fantastic to see Fairport in action at this time in their lives. However just dreadful videography - always a hand or an elbow or the end of a guitar in the way of seeing somebody, too much time spent showing us their backs, and absolutely no camera on their instruments as they are playing the incredible music. Would have loved close-ups of Richard as he was playing Sloth. The cameramen were evidently not musicians.

Weird Russell. Lovely to hear June Tabor. I saw Carthy , Carthy and Waterson in Middletown Pennsylvania, and audience of about 20 people, they were brilliant.

Dave Swarbrick’s vocals were quality.

The only sad part about this video is seeing the great Ken's beautiful cottage 'Old Tinsleys' before it burnt down and was replaced by a bland modern house.

Tobacco-drug addicted fiddle player. Sad.

Thank you for sharing this ❤

Is there anyone who can tell me please what type of electric violin is the one played in this video (and in a number of Cropredys and other concerts in the second half of the 80s) by Ric Sanders? The brand, the name of the model, etc. Thank you very much!

The man can surely sing.

Ba kmaal 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

Who was on the Drums???

I can't believe how this band sounds like the Dead.

Peter Gabriel had been gone 12 years at this point and Steve Hackett 9 years.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing

I've never seen Dave Pegg or Simon Nicol playing fiddle before!
