I enjoyed the song actually, I stumbled upon the song whilst watching George Gently and a very good singer called Ebony Buckle sang it and played the violin too. Both very well.
Most versions I hear are two chord progression, some violin. I think this jazzed free-form version adds character to a great song. Wish Sandy was singing though. The bass is perfect.
Interesting that the instrumental introduction was "ShadyGrove". There are millions of variants of this ballad. Look them all up. You'll like them all.
Not bad, despite the usual silly comments from the bearded fundamentalists. Lovely bass sound, great mix, great gig. Now, where"s my Liege and Lief been since I last saw it in 1974? Try the attic, or granny's cellar. Then try & find the record deck......
That’s Ric Sanders on the fiddle. Chris Leslie is playing the banjo. I’m not going to get into a debate about the fiddle playing - which is wonderful (to me). But perhaps it’s the slight processing in the sound that he’s using that you don’t like? Swarb’s fiddle sound - back in the day- was very raucous, raw and squealy sounding (from its pick up)- not a conventionally “beautiful“ sound. Love it myself. But then Fairport rarely do any wrong - to my mind and ears
the bass line on this version is absolutely stellar
Brilliant, the Ikea curtains had me roaring with laughter x
SAME
Song’s been changing for hundreds of years. It’s still changing. Stop complaining.
This is a superb version.
Wow! True balladry lives! I've loved this group from day one - so glad they're still around.
First heard this in 71. Timeless.
Awesome I had the pleasure of seeing them live in Philadelphia in 1985 they opened for Jethro Tull. I have been a fan ever since. Love this group 💙
Saw that tour in Chicago
That may be one of the coolest combinations of words I've ever heard. I saw Jethro Tull like 5 years ago and those old farts were amazing.
RIP Sandy.
🔥🌹❣️🙏🏻
A great very old song. This is a chaotic rendition.
A perfect song.
But the Lief and Leige version remains the best.
Definitely very much better than this one with its silly reference to IKEA.

I really dig this 'celtic punk rock' version!
Today I learned IKEA is older than expected
made me chuckle
Started out making wool sheets in Yorkshire!
James may on banjo.. nice touch

That fourths stuff the fiddler does is very original!
Sandy Denny is the only version I'd listen to.
4:50 is from the gods
Wow where are you Sandy…..
Possible origin of the melody of 'house of the rising sun'

Just good to see a Fairport concert that doesn't end with Richard Thompson's crappy 'Meet on the Ledge'!!!

The band had too much of the Jamieson, bejesus.
Love this song and the strong bass, but Chris's fiddle sounds awful!

boring w/o Sandy.
Pretty strong evidence that they should've given up quite a long time ago.
William Y fuck you
How to self sabotage and ruin a beautiful song in more or less every possible way.
I'm with you on this one.
bass too loud. needs female singer
kingalfred Dave Pegg is NEVER too loud.
Bloody cacophonic catastrophe!
