Steeleye Span is of the great British folk-rock groups that were popular in the 1970s. They are still performing, although according to the Wikipedia article Maddy Prior is the only remaining original member. I saw them perform at Convocation Hall in Toronto sometime in the mid-70s and it was one of the most memorable concerts of that period.
Here's an excellent performance recorded in 1975 for the German Rockpalast TV show.
Available for the first time is this unique and intimate performance from June 1975.
It was recorded for the German TV show Rockpalast. This is a very rare live performance from the ‘classic’ line up of Steeleye Span and shows the band in their prime in great quality.
It was filmed a few months after the 'Commoners Crown' album was recorded so features tracks from that album including the epic Long Lankin plus Little Sir Hugh and Demon Lover.
The band went into the studio with Mike Batt to start recording 'All Around My Hat' the month after this performance.
Note that there was no crowd, this was a Made For TV Session and as it was not broadcast in full, this version has not had the applause (etc) edits added in.
