Maddie Prior is a very nice lady. We met her once after a gig. Steeleye span got me out of trouble. When I used to play my music loud the neighbors got a petition against me but when I played Steeleye span records the local children danced around the gardens which saved my bacon.
Have been a fan of Steeleye Span and Maddy for as long as they've been around. Why have I never heard this version before. Respect to quo for making such a great arrangement of this.
Don’t care what anyone says about SQ they have always stuck to their formula and huge fun band. This song was out around Christmas 1975 and has been indelibly printed in my memory as a great joyful song. Maddy is of course tremendous.
Love this cover and Maddy Prior is always excellent. Great to see Troy Donockley on the Uillean pipes. Now a full time member of Finnish symphonic metal band, Nightwish.
Love both outfits both Quo & Span and seen them both “Live” of course. What a wonderful alternative version of this perennial fave. More than full marks. You could not have sat still in that concert hall. Yours in great rock & folk-rock:/ Chris 🎼
Lucky enough to have seen Status Quo at Wembley, with INXS and The Alarm, supporting Queen, but have also been to some great Steeleye Span concerts. They took time after each concert to chat with fans, so I took the chance to meet Maddy Prior as well, and we had a quick chat. My girlfriend was already a massive fan, but she was too shy go and say hello, so I dragged her over and, after some initial trepidation, she managed to say how much she enjoyed the show. It was lovely to have met Maddy Prior and, as we shook hands, I promised to go along to one of their future concerts, which turned out to be publicised as their last show, in Letchworth. Great folk music from a really tight band, who had a close bond with their fans, but they were so much more than, 'All Around My Hat'. As for Status Quo, they rocked your socks off, and I love this cover!
Maddy Prior, voice of an angel from before talent meant prancing about in knickers to a studio backing track, and she was mixed to the back; bloody criminal.
Wat een mooi lied en Status Quo doet het lied eer aan. Heel goed en krachtig en beheerst gespeeld. Als je zo gitaar kan spelen en zingen tegelijkertijd dan ben je "blessed""
Wishing Maddy's mic had been turned up louder....and Francis should have let her take a verse on her own... Still, she looked like she was having a lot of fun!
@@lennyhendricks4628 that happened even to Lennon singing with the band in the last times they were live. Maybe not enough rehearsals, since no live shows or tours were in the calendar, which Paul missed a lot the most. But oddly once in his solo career, John went into appearances and guest at others' shows and he did perform uncannily focused even with material not his he barely practiced together with them. All great artists go through such periods off focus performing whther vocalists or instrumentalists or both
I am a Status Quo fan but I'm a Steeleye Span fan as well, and the best singers of all were The Silly Sisters, Maddy Prior & June Tabor. Brilliant stuff. Apparently Robert Plant said they were the best, too. There's a lot of crossover in rock and folk and really cool rock dudes know when they're hearing something great !
Wow, what a rollicking great song, and it's sung by some amazingly talented performers. I'm Canadian so not too familiar with the British musical scene, but this is truly impressive stuff. I really, REALLY love this music.❤💕💕❤
As your probably on lockdown now is your chance.......Lindisfarne and Jethro Tull are a good start......Status Quo in the day were the choice at most parties!
The strange thing is you can't play this song in Northern Ireland. I had it on my car stereo playing loud and I got dirty looks and dog's abuse from a bunch of kids at a bus stop and no one will tell me why.

What an honour the only woman to sing with the quo
Tessa Niles also sang with them on this gig.
One of Status Quo's best covers. I have always thought Francis Rossi and Maddy Prior should do an album together! This is friggin' brilliant!
there is actually a Steeleye Span & Francis Rossi album
One of the most joyful songs ever recorded. I've listened to it dozens of times for 40 years!
I remember this on Top of The Pops when I was in high school.
In complete agreement...Maddy looks in the zone...
Yeah that´s it !!!! Legendary "Status Quo" (R.I.P. Rick Parfitt) and Sister Grandioso "Maddy Prior" !!! Absolut Amazing !!
And R.I.P. Alan Lancaster.
R.I.P. Alan Lancaster !!
Love this, Maddy Prior is a legend and Quo also did it justice. Awesome rendition.
Maddy Prior is the queen of folk music.

You know what this is? Absolute sheer fun. Thata what this is. Like only Quo can do. Maddy Prior is having the time of her life.

Best cover Quo have ever done!
Best song Quo have ever done!
👍
@@lyndenblue😂😂😂
Fantastic cover version Quo are brilliant as usual
This is a lot better than i expected . I love this version .
If this doesn't leave you smiling you are either have no soul or dead already.
I'm so glad this exists! Thanks to Quo, Steeleye and thanks for sharing it with the rest of us
The Maddy rocking out with the Quo. What's not to like!!
Well how can you be miserable after this? Pure joy.

She is still the Queen of Folk-Rock as a Grandmother these days
Heard this tonight. First time brilliant
I love the joyful fun of this video, they are having a great time and I'd guess the audience did too
Maddy can still rock with the best of them
There couldn't have two more different bands, Quo and span but this is pure class.
..cool..this tune should never stop.. :)
Status Quo meets Steeleye Span....Rock on !
I’m an old teddy boy from the 50s what fun we had with rock n roll music, quo make me really happy now playing the old rock n roll god bless them
Love this cover and Maddy Prior is always excellent.
Great to see Troy Donockley on the Uillean pipes. Now a full time member of Finnish symphonic metal band, Nightwish.
Loved it and this song is, to me ,the quintessential British folk song!
No words , just brilliant 😃😃
I was today years old when I discovered the greatest rock/folk mashup ever invented!
Hör ich das erste Mal und ich bin begeistert - Wahnsinn
Love both outfits both Quo & Span and seen them both “Live” of course. What a wonderful alternative version of this perennial fave. More than full marks. You could not have sat still in that concert hall.
Yours in great rock & folk-rock:/ Chris 🎼
Shes still awsome, loved her forever xx
Is there any video of Maddy Prior performing where she isn't grinning ear to ear? She always looks like she's having the time of her life up on stage.
This song, you cant forget! One of the best when i was young!
Just found this today. Thank you RUclips, this is AWESOME!!!

that wembley gig was awesome.....apart from the rain..
Brilliant! Sheer joy. What an inspired combination.
Maddy is the sexiest woman ever!
Hell of a bass line
Enjoyed that!
If they had done a12 bar blues version of this with Maddy it would have been worth listening to.
Just brilliant all round. Wish I'd been there!
Maddy Prior, voice of an angel from before talent meant prancing about in knickers to a studio backing track, and she was mixed to the back; bloody criminal.
Agreed, her voice should not have been buried.
A rollicking song all the same
Love it!! Thank you.
Wonderful! Stunning!👍🌹
Oh great! Now I have an ear worm Love it!! Legends. Thanks for sharing this Benji.
Love how she's giein' it laldy.
Troy rocks. Mandy rocks. Quo rocks. Serendipity personified.
Nightwish knew what they were doing when they invited Troy to join them as a full band member.
Superb! Huge fun. I've followed Steel Eye in one form or another since the 60s and this version is one of the very best, bless them all!
Look at those happy middle-aged people kicking it! What fun!
When I let loose on stage these days, I end up paying for it the next few days!!! Eish, mind is willing, but body says "Oi ! Hold up there, sister!!"
Rockin' All Over The Span, with Maddie and Rossie.
Christ almighty this is the most massive mingling of artists!!!!
SUPERB. RIP Ricky.
Quo for ever and ever
👍
she sounds and looks as good as ever!!
Wat een mooi lied en Status Quo doet het lied eer aan. Heel goed en krachtig en beheerst gespeeld. Als je zo gitaar kan spelen en zingen tegelijkertijd dan ben je "blessed""

ROCKIN SONG..
Never seen this before - it's brilliant !!!
What a privilege and an honour
Wishing Maddy's mic had been turned up louder....and Francis should have let her take a verse on her own... Still, she looked like she was having a lot of fun!
You are right about Maddy's microphone. nevertheless , this version is full of energy perfectly performed by these excellent guitarist
If you have Maddy there, why sing at all? She should've been lead singer on this.
@@Nefarioso hope this is wrong, but maybe she's no longer able to handle all the verses and wanted it this way.
@@lennyhendricks4628 that happened even to Lennon singing with the band in the last times they were live.

She was high as a kite
Damn good!
the joy of it all.
You can always tell the best; they’re having a ball - and you just got invited!
Don’t confuse this with a folk song. It’s an absolute riot and musicians having fun!
Most folk songs are an absolute riot with musicians having fun, it's not all po-faced purists.
Bloody brilliant
Very pleasantly surprised. A really good cover version.
Bloody FANTASTIC
Jesus h wept this is just, the best!!!
I am not a Status Quo fan but they did that song really fine!

Always young Francis Rossi + flying Maddy 🎉🎉🎉
Status Quo is one of the most laid - back bands of all times. Though they started as psychedelic group, history similar to Bee Gees.
Quo took the wrong turn 30 years ago. This is rocking good.
This Quo is not the Frantic Four but the Showband
Wow the quo and Maddy 2:14 awesome brilliant
Legends all.
Wow, what a rollicking great song, and it's sung by some amazingly talented performers. I'm Canadian so not too familiar with the British musical scene, but this is truly impressive stuff. I really, REALLY love this music.❤💕💕❤
As your probably on lockdown now is your chance.......Lindisfarne and Jethro Tull are a good start......Status Quo in the day were the choice at most parties!
Rollicking describes it perfectly...
Just brilliant!
Steeleye Quo 🎉🎉
thats life, Respect, greatings from Germany
All the artists were in their oil's playing that ❤
This Aussie says, that was pretty 'cn GOOD!
Love Maddie letting out her inner rock chick with the Quo!
Hermosa version
Status Span 🎉🎉
Quo and Span? Mint!
Some things never die!!!!!!!!
First time I've seen this...won't be the last.
Maddy makes it as usual
einfach brillant, fehlt nur ein gemeinsames album....
MAGIC !
Go Maddy!
Nice!
Perfect!
This is a great tune. Where have I been? Up the ☘️
It's an English folk song.
Brilliant 👏
The strange thing is you can't play this song in Northern Ireland. I had it on my car stereo playing loud and I got dirty looks and dog's abuse from a bunch of kids at a bus stop and no one will tell me why.
Wow 😮😊
Status Quo vadis now?
Maddy,sing the boys down.....;-)
Francis rossi is een goede gitarist hij speelt altijd met veel onspaning vind dat media francis altijd onderwaardeer
That'll Do.
