My remaster of this great recording.
I love the version of Orfeo on here.
Much better than the studio cut.
Date is not certain but I read they played at least three nights at The Bottom Line.
DJ says it was Halloween which was the last night I believe.
So I've gone with that.
DJ also thinks they are Irish so he's not the most reliable source
...but he's all I have! LOL

Hi Titus,
ReplyDeletecould you please re-up this Steeleye Span at the Bottom Line 1976? Your version is surely better than mine, and it is the only live version with decent choruses on The Wife of Usher's Well in comparison to those at the Rainbow in London and Berklee Boston.
Kind regards, Johan

You're quicker than me Johan! Hope it's an upgrade for you. Source files were not as good as the Rimini show.
DeleteThoroughly enjoyed this remaster, best version ive heard of, "Hard times of old England" thank you
ReplyDeleteFunny how we all seem to have different favourites from the Steeleye Span repertoire
