Lindisfarne are awesome. I’m a 38 year old chappie who, and it’s a sincere blessing, through my late Father was brought up with a diet of Cockney Rebel, Toto, Genesis etc etc. I resemble greatly the late, great Geordie genius Mr. Alan Hull, I continue to wear flared jeans/trousers, cravats, velvet jackets etc and I would have traded eternity to have a wee dram with Mr. Alan Hull, who evidently could drink anyone under the table!

What a cracking programme "Rock Goes To College" was. Love this song-I think it is Lindisfarne's best. Ray Jackson (on Mandolin and backing vocals on this video), treated us to a live version of this song when he played for us at Grayshott Folk Club with The Acoustic Gathering back in October 2011. They also played "Meet Me On The Corner". It was agreat night and Ray Jackson is a top bloke, in my opinion.

I was 18 when this concert was played,I was tunnel vision on disco and reggae.Masses of brilliant music floated past me like wind driven clouds.i remember this particular song from being a kid and others of a similar vein,I e Simon and Garfunkels Sounds of Silence but most just floated past.Still we have KZbin where I can now catch up with the clouds that floated past me.

I know that bands do variations on a theme when performing live. I understand that. But tbh, I prefer the studio recorded version of this song. This live version doesn't add anything. It just subtracts. It's a very good song, though.

My Biggest problem with life is that mine should have started 40 years earlier. Music just simply lacks the poetic beautiful qualities it once had. Next time you reminisce of the good times and musical genius of the 60's and 70's spare a thought for us younger generation who are expected to be satisfied with big black men who talk into a microphone about how great they are over a generic synth reece and call it music, then charge you an insulting price for it. You don't know how lucky you are.

"Banshee playing magician sitting Lotus on the floor, belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw, had my share of night mares, didn't think there could be much more, then in walked Rodric Usher with the Lady Eleanor" Alan Hull was inspired by Edgar Allen Poes The House of Usher to write the song. Us Geordies in Essex are always misunderstood by the way which is why we prefer to stay up here
@mandolinic5 жыл бұрын
@@toshishimura The first word is "Bashee", not "Banshee". A Bashee is a type of Indian flute. And apart from passing reference to Roderick Usher, the song has absolutely nothing to do with Edgar Allen Poe's story.

This would have been much better had the vocalist not insisted on messing about with the original melody and doing a piss-poor Bob Dylan impression. I think after punk, a lot of bands felt they had to rock things up a bit.

Exactly. Even Gallagher & Lyle rocked up 'When I'm Dead and Gone' at the end of their concerts during the punk era - but that didn't bother me in the slightest, and neither does Alan's lead vocal on this version of Lindisfarne's best song.
