Saturday Sounds - Fairport Convention - August 13, 1985 - Vienna Folk Festival

It's time for more Fairport Convention, recorded at the Vienna Folk Festival in 1985. This one features guest appearances by Jerry Donahue and Richard Thompson. As you might expect, there's a lot of loud electric music in this set, including something new to me, a loud guitar medley of songs by The Shadows. The performance of Sloth near the end of the set is especially memorable. 

The video is VHS quality but the audio is fine. I wish I'd been there. Enjoy.
