Barclay James Harvest should have been so much bigger worldwide than they were - So many incredible songs - Same goes for The Strawbs - 2 of the best bands - musically and lyrically - ever

[@jimturner3301]

Yes! Strawbs also rocked. Both of these bands deserved a better fate. They never sold out, but their fans are loyal forever.

[@brianmcglynn8865]

My older brother and WNEW FM radio in NYC introduced me to both bands, couldn’t agree more. Used to go to Greenwich Village to buy BJH import albums, hard to find their albums in the states

[@TheRealRedAce]

I remember when we first discovered this band via Live Tapes back in 1979 during the height of the Lebanese Civil War & we would turn down the lights ( when we had electricity that is ) and listen to this album over n over again....& this song would give us goosebumps whilst the distant sound of bombs would be heard as we lay there with our imaginations running wild... Thank you John, Les , Mel & Woolly... LIVE ON!

Thank you so much for uploading this!!! My dad passed four years ago tomorrow, my best friend my everything💜 He was the true music man… the lyrics would draw him in. His two top faves were BJH and the Moody’s! (Actually went to two Moodys concerts with my parents when I was 14 and 17 never truly appreciating until I got older) He would love that I could sing right along with him, never sounding as good😊 ….. This brought the tears I have been pushing down for a while because I can still hear him harmonize right with them! Happy tears knowing he is in a better place and WILL ALWAYS live on in my heart, memories and in the music💜💜 #cancersucks
