The Incredible String Band - Live at the Bobino club, May 1972

The Incredible String Band Live at the Bobino club, Paris and French interview 1972. Dedicated to the late great Brendan Heatley! A man for whom music was a gateway to the stars!! You`ll be sadly missed my friend! See you on the flip side!!

Licorice's voice inhabits my mind, my soul, my body.... I'll never forget her....

Many thanks to Alabaster Jones for posting this video - I've been a fan since the late 60's and have never seen this clip before.

That's Malcolm LeMaistre singing, isn't it?
I loved his two songs on Earthspan.
The Actor, and also The Sailor and the Dancer. Did he record any others? Not as familiar with ISB's later work

Look up At The Lighthouse Dance and My Father was a Lighthouse Keeper. Probably the 2 best Lighthouse songs ever. Malcolm sang both.

Robin speaking in FRench! That's a new one. Did he learn Welsh when he lived in our fair principality?

[@anniella29]

French to easier than Welsh to learn! And in those days in Scotland we learned French as a second language, even from primary school.

Robin wrote songs in French. Well, at least one. Rends-moi demain

If May 1972 was the date of this performance, then it was in the middle of the band recording the Earthspan album. This could well be the last performance video of Licorice McKechnie. Wikipedia says she left after the release of Earthspan, but I often wonder if she left during the recording of it, as she has a much smaller presence on it than on the previous album, and as I recall plays an instrument on only one track.

[@realdinho]

Absolutely! And it actually ends with her very own Secret Temple that went unreleased at the time. (Found now on the Trick of the Senses CD) 😊

[@Nerkin610]

I’ve heard that Robin was a linguistic virtuoso. Is this true?
