interesting...I'm going to search out a copy of liege and Lief...thanks for sharing...
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
liege i revisit time and again. i had the pleasure of meeting Richard back in 83 or 84 when he was in a band with David surkamp of Pavlov's dog. called " HI - FI ". when they played here in Calgary. good power pop. Cheers!
Wow, I never heard of Richard working with David Surkamp! Thanks for watching!
Wonderful job with this one Mike. I did not know that Fairport was still out there doing shows. They were one of the bands that were on the bill at Knebworth Park in 1979 as a backup to Led Zeppelin. They were all big Fairport fans~

Hi Rob! I once saw Robert Plant doing a couple of songs with Fairport at the Cropredy festival. He and John Bonham had been in the Band of Joy in the '60s with Fairport's Dave Pegg. A lot of history between those bands. Thanks for watching!
Hi Rob!!! I hope you are out there hitting the waves!!! Talk soon ok? Take care🙏🏻✨
@@michaelpdawson You got it Michael. I am smiling while reading this response~
Hi Michael, great video. Love Fairport Convention… just an amazingly inventive band. Sandy‘s voice is beautiful. Side 1 of Liege & Lief is perfect and side 2 isn’t half bad either. Thanks for the deep dive. Cheers, Jack
Hi Jack! Fairport is the kind of band that you can honestly say is an institution. Thanks for watching!
Hi Michael! WOW what a great and informative vid. I remember seeing them opening for Mott The Hoople in -72. "Peggy" was the new boy (and I was just a kid...😊)
All the best from Stockholm...✌️😃
Very cool! I never got to see them in the '70s, but saw the later version of the band many times. Thanks for watching!
Michael, one of your best just due to subject matter. Love this period of UK folk. I have even gone backwards and delved into A. L. Lloyd and Ewen MacColl, and some of their collections of Child ballads. Thanks, Chris
I hear you, Chris! This album was totally my introduction to that world. Thanks for watching!
sorry i messed up it was Ian Mathews not Richard Thompson, oops.
That's interesting too!
I just listened to this LP last week, and found a used copy of 'Full House' right behind you there, as I had never heard it. Will now listen to both again, thanks as always, Michael.
Both terrific albums. Full House does suffer from not having Sandy, but what an epic it has in "Sloth"! Thanks for watching!
@@michaelpdawson You're welcome. I just gave 'Sloth' a couple of listens. It's the song the Grateful Dead always wanted to do, but never quite made it.
Professor Dawson, what a wonderful video. I use to have this album but never got into it. You added such a great back story to the album. I love hearing g about how albums come together and then information about the songs. This was extremely informative and enjoyable. Lot of songs about nudity and sex lol.
They didn't have Playboy in those days, so they put it in the songs.
Never really came full circle w FC, so this is all new and all interesting to me....ty Michael for these insights into artists/groups..🙏🏻🎶
Hi Lis! Thanks so much for being here--I really appreciate you! Have a great weekend.
Great context - most of which I didn't know. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this worthy analysis of a very fine LP, Michael. I have the original UK pressing. In fact, I saw one go at auction for a staggering £165 only yesterday. They were a great band in their heyday and I was lucky enough to see them when they reformed with Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg and Bruce Rowland. Sadly, their last drummer, Gerry Conway we lost a few months back.
Ouch, I didn't know originals were so pricy! That late '70s lineup you mention was cool because they went back to the traditional material. Bonny Bunch of Roses I thought was a particularly great album. Yes, sad that Gerry Conway has passed. Thanks for watching!
Hi Michael, fantastic video. I have had this album for many years and have always loved it. But I learnt so much that I didn’t know from your analysis. I will revisit this album tomorrow armed with my new knowledge. Btw I live in Hampshire. Thanks. Mike
The house where Fairport worked on Liege and Lief was in a place called Farley Chamberlayne. So if you live near there, maybe you've seen it! Thanks much for watching.
Very informative video! I hope you continue with this concept! Well done.
Thanks very much! I will certainly continue to do these from time to time.
Love the deep dive!
Hi Edward! Thanks for stopping by!
Michael, I only have two Fairport Confusion recordings, ''Unhalfbricking'' and '' Liege And Lief''. I dig them both, but ''Liege And Lief'' might be more engaging, I love the guitar on ''Tam Lin''. Richard and Linda Thompson's ''Shoot Out The Lights'' is my favorite album by them.
The only fault with Unhalfbricking, I think, is possibly one too many Dylan songs. Shoot Out the Lights is a great one, but then you can't go wrong with Richard. The man is a songwriting genius and a guitar wizard. Thanks as always for watching!
