Lindisfarne - We Can Swing Together (Live 1978)

[@gnwillou]

Such a good concert they put on. One year did Christmas shop and as we went passed City Hall in Sheffield I said to my wife "Shall we see if there are any tickets left?" We took our Christmas shopping to the Lindisfarne concert....fits with the mood!

[@adamcroft80]

I went saw these guys at a small venue in the early 90’s with my dad. Was 1 of the first concerts I ever went to. I wasn’t much older than 10 or 11 and was first real taste of ‘proper’ music. Loved every second of it

[@matthewhamilton6660]

Timeless. I want this song played at my funeral and hopefully all the mourners will be Swinging All Together!! Howay The Lads.

[@sleekburnslim]

totally agree with the you tube inventor comment. Saw these guys at a Bedlington (Northumberland) School Hop, circa 1968, when they were called The Bretherin. A great live band man. Alan Hull RIP.

[@Shamrock33377]

I was at this concert, my first week at Essex University, Sept 1978, thought I was so cool!!! 😅 Fun times!

[@legalmagpie]

Saw them a couple of times at the City Hall in the 70's. Fantastic band. This was one of their highlights. It went on for ages and became almost a jam session just like this video. You have to be a Geordie to appreciate them properly

[@derekblevins9163]

Not sure I agree you need to be a Geordie. Im Irish, this is one of the best bands I ever watched live

[@JamesSmith-zk8gl]

I’m not a Geordie and I saw them several times in Plymouth during the 70’s also

[@bosshoss64]

The members of black metal band Venom can appreicate Lindisfarne properly.

[@Alain-Piton]

Brillant ! B*R*A*V*O & thanx for sharing jewels like these vids

[@gogsy]

Saw them a few times at Newcastle City Hall for the legendary christmas concerts,a brilliant atmosphere.Your right about your hands!

[@mitchellwallace5654]

Raw LIVE just a simple Country Band from Merry Old England without Studio, enhancement. NICE Very Nice

[@mikeofthegoughs]

the way music should be,raw,that impires me more then most todays stuff,want to copy that

[@madbob5a]

We can swing together, we may get older, but the feeling is still there!!!

[@keithrn9447]

I loved the "Keel Row" harmonica solo. A brilliant band!

[@hollyholy5362]

Saw them back in the mid-90s in Croydon. Great, feel-good concert, stage made up like a northern pub. :)

[@Isleofskye]

Fairfield Halls or Greyhound? :)

[@mrduncan54]

me too, those City Hall concerts were magic. happy days

[@AsperHouse]

Raw College performance from the Best Band ever well i was at uni when they played .. and I'm a Geordie too.

[@mikeofthegoughs]

fantastic, ragged suits it,love to be there!

[@micheldarribehaude83]

GREAT! 💜

[@tigerincanada]

They sang the new year in at the Kirk (Kirklevington Country Club) one year in my sordid past. As I recall (or was told, being somewhat brown aled) they were brilliant. I do remember dancing like a twat to their version of Knees up Mother Brown. Still, some say I danced like a twat all the time .... brilliant times. Cheers to all

[@antmcmullen]

[@kiwigeordie]

[@TheWholigans]

Lindisfarne is Newcastle and Newcastle is Lindisfarne. Somewhat like me and brown ale :}

[@Isleofskye]

..and The Premier League Title in 2026:)

[@gilidon]

[@Isleofskye]

No,I don't remember that.

[@OrpheusIsThe1]

@johnbfuzz They probably had a lot of "roll your own" before hand but who cares it feels right al through the night

[@daftfish99]

Is there another soundtrack on this?!

[@thomasmcmeekin5515]

why is the proper one unavailable

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

Can anyone else hear a woman reading some kind of eulogy about a police officer in the left channel?

[@stressedworried8615]

Mate! I’m here 10 years later hearing the same thing!

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

@@stressedworried8615 Wow, I have no memory of writing this - I must find out what on earth I was talking about!

[@MrSirMrSirMr]

@@stressedworried8615 That's quite eerie.

[@wateroftyne]

@mutantmoments - Yeah, ragged. It's not necessarily a bad thing though!

[@HDxEXoThERMiA]

What is that in the background? Some kind if subliminal messaging?

[@stevenbell7902]

HD x EXoThERMiA strange

[@Isleofskye]

No idea.

[@wateroftyne]

@johnbfuzz - ha ha.. yeah. It's pretty ragged...!

[@wateroftyne]

@Johnat102 - No it's not...?

[@Isleofskye]

Sorry,I have lost track over the last 12 years,my friend. It's Not what?

[@CraigG1960]

@johnbfuzz I remember our history teacher at school decided not to go to watch them at Liverpool Empire in 1978 after seeing the Rock Goes to College concert. He thought the harmonies were dreadful. I didn't see the show at the time but he was right, unfortunately.

[@malcolmmarshall4371]

They did a far more mellow version of this song

[@romanbrough]

Good song. a number of issues with it.1, It sounds better when you are singing along with your mates, 2 Better when you have had a few. 3 Better when you are 20 years old. I might manage 1 and 2. I can't even remember waht it was like to be 20. Nice edge to the song

[@romanbrough]

Has it really been so long since I found this song. Lifetimes ago.. If I knew then, what I know now.

[@Isleofskye]

@@romanbrough Have you learned any more,my friend, in the last 3 years? :)

[@romanbrough]

@@Isleofskye Not really. I realise that I have "spent" at least 80% of my life. And "look forward" to the prospect of decline health. I know some of the things I would like to do, to see happen. I am deeply unhappy at the way the world is going. But realise that the way the world, and my very little part of it, are utterly beyond my ability to effect.

[@Isleofskye]

@@romanbrough I understand, my friend but you MUST make the most of every day. Even this very week,I have a real reminder of that because, as you may know, the very fit: Trevor Francis died, suddenly,of a heart attack and he was born within a month of me in the same year of 1954 so if it can happen to Trevor... Good Luck. So far, almost perfect health with only 2 and a half hours in hospital in one 2016 visit in the last 63 years since 1960 but who knows what is around the corner..I don't like being 69 but I am delighted that I was born in the much less regulated and freer days in earlier decades. Good Luck.

[@romanbrough]

Also born in 1954. Just had my 70th. Have you noticed that no-one has made any pop songs since ABBA broke up. Just having another nostalgic evening. Watching UFO, Star Trek, listening to songs of the late sixties early seventies. I wonder if anyone will be watching this in another ten or twenty years. Possibly ten, probably not twenty. Unless it's in the nursing home. And I don't intend to go there to die.

[@adamcroft80]

You sir have a keen eye. Bet most people missed that one grumpy bugger who did know how to ‘swing all thru the night’

[@Pitfossil]

@TheWholigans - you can get a Geordie away from Newcastle, but you´ll never get Newcastle out of a Geordie? I´m from far far away, but I still swear Lindisfarne at their worst beat any plastic band trying their best.
