Dave Lambert. Truly underrated guitarist
Three acoustic guitars and vocals capture the essence of the original tracks. I wish I were there.
I'm so glad I got to see them several years ago at a quaint little venue. I've been a fan since the 70s.
Just BRILLIANT, what more is there to say.......
Gave me chills up and down this 66 yr old spine!!!
If you are anywhere in the Tri state area, NJ to be specific, they are playing in Montclair NJ this Saturday nigh at the Outpost. So looking forward to going !!
Dave Cousins has written some Truly Beautiful Songs Over the Years; so underrated as a musician, singer & composer. This is an excellent Acoustic cover of a Gorgeous song.
Going to see them play tomorrow. Gonna be awesome.
the harmonies, the harmonies !
Lovely. Top post
Pure excellence!
non ringraziero' mai abbastanza il mio amico Angelino che molti anni fa me ne ha fatto innamorare.
The first time I listened to Hero and Heroine I knew I'd stumbled into genius. That has never changed. They are older, wiser, and still one of the best bands of my youth.
I had a friend that always seemed to come up with unique and eclectic albums; Strawbs was one of them, even though rare here in the U.S. during the 70’s. Every single person whom I’ve played their albums, became lifelong fans. And what’s even more amazing, is all of were hard-rock fans, with little care for anything else resembling folk. But Strawbs just grabs you with their amazing talent, lyrics and song structures. And yes sooooo underrated! 😊 Thanks for all the music…
To pull this off acoustically is amazing. True musicianship at its finest! Great performance.
Yes, both under rated and under appreciated. Yet there are those of us who know...I never thought I'd be listening to an acoustic version some 35 years later...
Amen--agreed !!
Your so right
And still being listened too! 😍
THIS was STRAWBS at it's best .Dave lambert still brilliant despite his age.Busting at the seams and Grave new World must rank as best folk rock Brit music of all time .Thank you Strawbs.
Dave Cousin's voice, one of a kind!
Great band
Unquestionably!!
I listen to a lot of electric guitar music but sometimes the simple sound of acoustic and harmony is to be treasured.
Awesome grandad
Glad you like them.
Of course this is not true acoustic! They do have pickups on those Axes! But It is wonderfull :-)
Sadly, one of the most under rated Bands. These guys have been and still are one of the most Musical Songwriters and Performers ever ! Even sadder is the fact that they were under rated in their own country. A great shame indeed. I loved them them and adore them now. Thanks guys. You are GREAT !!!!!!!!
"Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
The winter long I will always be with you."
I sense Autumn coming on
The mist has hung low all day
Small birds gather on the wing
Preparing to make their way.
The trees begin to show
A trace of brown among the green
Bringing back the memories
That only you and I have seen.
I sense Autumn coming on
The sun sinking red and deep
The fires burning in the fields
As late Summer falls asleep.
The leaves begin to scatter
As the North wind calls their name
Folding gently back into
The silent earth from which they came.
The Winter Long
(Cousins)
Still waters flow
Sea breezes blow
Wild flowers grow
Abundant at your feet.
Soft falling snow
Warm candle glow
Flushed faces show
The pleasure when we meet.
Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
The winter long I will always be with you.
Hold on to me, I'll hold on to you
I will be the one who will always see you through.
Wonderful - how many years I have listened to Strawbs!!!!!
Just today I got a '74 vinyl pressing of "Hero And Heroine" :)
Just like the Kinks, one of the greatest bands that never was, these gentlemen have always inspired me through out the years, long may they run!
+Jazz van Gogh The artists' artists? ...at least the Kinks made airplay. I ever understood how it was near everyone I ever met never heard of them? (The Strawbs) Even those who may have heard Sandra Denny. Though we admirers may be mere fans, and not a multitudinous mass, we are indeed blessed at that.
@@misstreebird Well, you are not right, not 'near everyone! I am familiar with The Strawbs since 1968, and I lived in ex Yugoslavia at the time. (BTW, Sandra is Sandy!) :)
I dont mean to be so off topic but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
@Gunner Jesus Instablaster :)
@Jacoby Arlo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Thanks for posting this; I've listened to Strawbs for many decades but never heard this attempted acoustically - love this version.
Just amazing the Strawbs we will always hold on to your music till we die and even then soaring
trough the sky in their melodies!!!!!!!
Merveilleux, j'ai la chair de poule, autant de belle musique bien vivante.
Merci Strawbs.
Music transcends all languages
Lambert is magnificent throughout.
Saw Strawbs live a couple of times in Harrogate back in the 70s at Royal Hall. Play on. 🇬🇧❤️
Wow just brilliant ☺️
Hero and Heroine was and still is a superb album
That young Mr Cousins is a genius, he'll go far 😎😎
The Strawbs 🍓 what Beautiful Sounds and So over looked 🤔 😍 Thanks for Posting This 👏👍 😎 ✌️ ❣️
Wow...I have been also a long time Strawbs fan of korea from 80's, in my high school days. Still they rock.
Accoustically, the song is even better!
Been reading the comments on here. Seems there is still a great appreciation for good music out there. But I don't thin k we should confuse under-rated with unrecognized. The Strawbs were one of a collection of such acts that remained true to their art. Other examples are Wishbone Ash and Humble Pie. In those days, record labels wielded great power and would pressure acts to conform to their commercial tastes. Those who resisted wound up like this. Loved by their core fans and unrecognized by the world at large. An example of one who caved is Elton John. His early work is absolutely brilliant, but after Yellow Brick Road, he became the poster boy for soft rock. And to the guy who went from folk to rock to prog rock and back to folk, check out Joe Bonamassa's Vienna Opera House concert on here. A guy who is regarded by many musicians as the best blues guitarist today ( and rightly so), rakes it down to acoustic, and surrounds himself with quality "unknowns". It's brilliant stuff.
i couldnt agree more,,,you sound like me!
You hit the nail on the head----Strawbs and Wishbone Ash are two of my all time favs.
100% right....and Grave New World is an album I still play every week. A masterpiece in my mind.
5346565 great comment !! Very true ! ...I remember walking into the top Phx area record store of the day...many yrs ago (well over 2 decades; maybe closer 3 decades ago ) and looking for some older, rare stuff. When I asked for Strawbs, the owner complimented me...said you "have great taste !" and that it was also one of his favorite bands, so I was in luck. Every song weaved a story. Terrific English melody but each song was different. Great dialogue, great backgrd instrumentation; intertwining of some religious overtones a little more common in that era.
You are totally right about Elton John... i was in a bootleg shop long time ago and i listened to a boot from around 71 it was amazing !
Ye gads--absolutely fantastic performance! I've seen the Strawbs live (in U.S.) at least two dozen times, and this matches, or beats, the best I can remember.
What a gem! Thanks so much for posting. What a great band!
Brilliant band,so underated ,I loved and cherished this song from early seventies 73 I think.
What a band
Yes 73, I saw them on the Bursting At The Seams tour that year
I love those wonderful old men and their voices with acoustic sounds
I always liked the Strawbs.
Awesome!!!! Great!! Acoustic, sounds really fantastic!!! I love this guys
3 acoustic guitars capture the essence of the songs.
Masterpiece! They are amazing!
What a great song
I love this acoustic version!
Every incarnation of the Strawbs is special.
"The Winter Long" was the song my wife (rest her soul) and I wanted for our wedding song, but the band never learned it. Our big day was April 17, 1977, but Strawbs were playing at the Capitol Theater in Passaic NJ that night. I left a note with the theater manager to have the band dedicate the song to us. Don't know if they ever did.
My wife passed away February 21, 2010. Ah, me.
My sympathies on your loss.
Heard this version for the first time. Just as good as original...
Thanks to u tube it's so easy to return to my youth
Visti dal vivo con questa formazione: lacrime dall'inizio alla fine!
Alex Cavani Hai ragione... Musica d'altri tempi. E che tempi!
silviosherwood che ricordi con la voce di cousins sempre espressiva ,magia intatta .un ritorno alle origini con una tastiera potenza ritrovata
1:27 that boisterous "yeeeeeeaahhhhh!!!" made me laugh so hard.
Saw them in early seventies.Forgotten how good they were.Thanks.
Just seen this again truly fantastic faultless performance
What a out of the ordinary band the Strawbs are !! Get their later years albums; and buy one for a friend. Their acoustic shows and albums are a fantastic view of the band at their prime in later years. The acoustic versions have a deep that touches the soul. Check out also, their respective solo albums because are good.
LOVE the guy who yells YA! Just before the tempo picks up a bit... true fan!
The minute 5:09 made me laugh but what a fantastic performance, love this song
Awesome! I'm a long time Strawbs Fan from the Hero and Heroin era.
'Hero and Heroin'... that would have been a very different album...
You and I was played at my wedding.
August. Summer prepares for sleep. Autumn watches patiently from her perch in forgotten places, ready to warn the living again of the mortality of things with falling leaves and cold winds
Just a lovely folk band that we all remember who hit No1 with Part Of The Union 🙂
Saw Acoustic Strawbs do this very song in early 2000's at 'Mayfair' in Allentown, PA.
Saw the strawbs live when I was 17..They still have it. Dave's voice is totally unique. Love it.
Also, got me interested in Dean Guitars. Cronk and Lambert are both playing Deans.
Was blessed to see them in 2003, in a small venue in Milwaukee. Mesmerizing.
Sort of hard to attempt acoustically but all in all not a bad job from one of my favourite bands of all time.
I used to run the 8 of Hero and Heroin all night softly in my dorm while we slept. Sorry Ken. You put up with a lot of me my friend.
Loved them in college…they are still great
Always been one of my favs. Great songs...melodies...lyrics and production.
I finally got to see them in a very small tea house, it was a dream for me....
check out Wishbone Ash, another great underrated band!!!
In France, they are totally ignored. I only knew them by listening TOTP every Sunday night when "Lay Down" peaked at #12 and "Part of the Union" made #2. "Lay Down" has never been released as a single here :-(
I own most of their albums. Please check my channel. 3 years ago, I posted "Backside"; Single "Lay Down" flip side :-)
가을이 오니 더 마음에 와닿네요....
I'm starting something new today. I will give a thumb down to anything filmed live with a phone. I can't afford modern thicket prices but boy does it ever piss me off to see all those screens when I do go to a show.
In what way is this acoustic?
great music, thanks for posting!
I hate to cuss here so I won't. PROS... nothing but PROS. This is the way I 1st saw them (about 2003?) and I really wasn't familiar with the music prior.
There none popularity is a tribute to there GREATNESS.....
When music comes to truth...
double edged sword the hit single in the 70s gained new fans who didnt buy albums old fans said sell out so you end with only the hardcore fans
We saw them in Nelson, BC on that tour and it was fantastic in a small venue, The Royal !
I first heard them on CHUM FM in Toronto in the early 70's and been a fan ever since. Got to see them once at Massey Hall in Toronto, a treat for sure.
Any guitarists out tgere? Can anbody write the irder of the chords and fingerpicking order starting at 2:25?
Superb!
GET ON WITH IT...SHEESH
Singer reminds me of Roy Harper.... Brilliant!!!
Hudson, Ford, and Wakeman should be playing with them.
They did play Seattle. Tractor Tavern in Ballard. It was an awesome show!!!
Spectacular
I saw Strawbs at least twice at Massey Hall in Toronto. Always great music!
Thanks much for sharing this. I almost cried when I found out that I'd missed them when they came to Vancouver. Thumbs up for the OP.
Saw them last night at the Tralf in Buffalo. My second acoustic Strawbs show and easily the better of the two (the first they were the opener for Van der Graaf Generator, so played a much shorter set). They played both of these songs.
Wow just love it
Los ví en Tucson ,Az. .tss .chingones !
Dave was the fastest banjo player in england.
Under rares Uniques voices greater!
tonight tupelo music hall in londonderry NH
i will be there
They are in Jamaica and Grand Cayman. Come back to England soon!
Oh I am so jealous!! They don't come to the US much.
GREAT- always fine to see/hear STRAWBS play!!!!Go on,boys!!!
I still can't get a karaoke version of this great song. (Lay Down)
Let's hope you never will (just kiddin')
Tediously long and unnecessary 'hotel California's type intro......adds nothing to the song
It's called PROG Rock ..... I'm not going to attempt to explain, as you would, no doubt, find that equally tedious & unnecessary ;-)
I saw them in NY they were really good
Yes!!! Please come to Seattle!
je m'en doutais....
