It does! I always thought the production fads of the era (mid-70s) under-sold Nigel's drumming chops on the albums. When I saw them live I was blown away!
This isn't the original 'Robbery With Violins' medley. Rick and Pete used to play three reels together before Nigel joined. This is the set they started playing to follow 'Lyke-Wake Dirge'. This is 'Bank of Ireland' first, 'The Wild Irishman' last and a slip jig in the middle whose name escapes me. First time I heard Rick and Pete play the original 'Robbery' set, Rick was playing a salmon-pink Fender Precision. If I remember correctly, his Jensen Interceptor broke one night and in a fit of temper he kicked the alloy wheels so badly he had to sell the Precision to pay for the damage. The pink Precision ended up with Bruce Thomas, the bass player with Elvis Costello and the Attractions. I could be hallucinating all this of course. The bass in this clip is either a Precision or a Jazz Bass but it's not the original one he played when he joined Steeleye. I've got to get out more ....
The Bank of Ireland is first, certainly; I don't recognise the slip jig; the third tune is certainly best known as O'Rourke's, although sometime mis-called The Wild Irishman. One story is that the great Michael Coleman recorded O'Rourke's and The Wild Irishman, but the names got swapped around by the printer.

Haha, wow! All those quarter jack cables in the opening shot! Love the Span, reminds me of my mum, was kinda' raised on this stuff. :3
thanks for these uploads this is from the era i discovered Steeleye, "Parcel of Rogues", so the songs have extra meaning...
Nigel Pegrum going into Animal from the Muppetts mode. A great performance by all ( where's Bob?).
Thanks for posting, Greg.
When Nigel hits that snare, it stays hit.

I love Pegrum's Rupert the Bear outfit.

Pure caic
Wonder where Bob was?
ITS ALL A FIDDLE
Brits caĺl them violins
They are fiddles. American instruments as are banjos
Mileage may vary - fiddlin' is different than violinin' :)
I stopped listening to Steeleye when they got a drummer - ruined it for me!
I can take the drums, just not drum kit.
@@sPi711 I thought the original Robbery With Violins was, well original. For me, this is crap.
