Steeleye Span Live 1975 TV Concert

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.
