Steeleye Span - King Henry (Live)

Steeleye Span performing 'King Henry' from the DVD Steeleye Span - The 35th Anniversary World Tour 2004. Available to buy from the Park Shop here: parkrecords.com...
In an age when bands seem to come and go in the blink of an eye, an occasion such as a thirty fifth anniversary was one that just had to be marked. Such it was for Steeleye Span, who decided to celebrate the best way they know how - by taking their music of the people to the people across the country. With a line-up featuring names from every period of the band’s illustrious history, the music captured here reflects every aspect of their stunning career - from their earliest adventures into electric folk through to their commercial heyday and latter work. This was not only the first time that all these individual personalities had been in the same band at the same time, it was also the first time that the magic of Steeleye Span in concert was caught especially for DVD. Let the celebrations begin….
Join us on.

Guys are not anymore, but Steeleye Span is always.

[@godfreyberry1599]

Can only define this as perfection.

[@derekbeauchamp2409]

Great song

[@liliamaeve]

Was this the best line up, there have been so many and every one brilliant. Thank you Steeleye for more years than l care to remember.

[@danwalton1913]

Best lineup overall probably still remains the mid-70’s lineup (with Bob Johnson and Tim Hart) but this lineup with Ken Nicol is probably the best I saw in concert.

[@oyferder1]

Finally a good live recording of Steeleye Span's King Henry on youtube :) Thanks for uploading this great video

[@marshlanderdumarais264]

I know what you mean. I saw Steeleye many times in the early days and the sound was almost always atrocious. Sadly that translated into some of the recordings too - cooked too hot, maybe? The very worst time was a little later, in King’s Lynn Corn Exchange, when Maddy Prior’s voice was completely buried in the barrage of noise from the some of the instruments.

@@marshlanderdumarais264 Several times in Philadelphia. Imagine Maddy as a grand mom singing to her grandchildren in Bewcastle at Stones Barn. May she still be singing strong in 2046.

[@bettyspivack8067]

This was my nieces favorite spooky song

[@clockmusic]

[@zvideos6107]

Good!

[@keithelliott3771]

Transported to first time I heard Below The Salt.😬

[@victorvieitogarcia5307]

El segundo mejor LP de todos los tiempos es: Bellow the salt

[@suebursztynski2530]

This is a Loathly Lady story.

[@sonjawhite5815]

Richard 2nd deserved all he got

[@sonjawhite5815]

Which King Henry?

[@mezzoly]

I’ve always thought they meant Henry the second , who slept around a lot and enjoyed hunting.

[@justgivemethetruth]

Beautiful ... and f-ing chilling ... some meat, some meat, more meat, more meat, some drink ... gruesome! Argh!

[@rockchicknyc6728]

Bob Johnson's voice has really failed.

[@rodsmith9336]

Actually the guitarist is Ken Nicol, of Preston, Lancashire. He replaced Bob Johnson and has now left Steeleye.

[@axelroth963]

Ken Nicol rules

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

It's no criticism, but I note that once white men reach that approximate age, their voices are usually done. Which must be incredible frustrating for them.

[@dnr2089]

Don’t like this version. Too fast and has lost authenticity. Best version is on their album Below the Salt. This is like some poor imitation….

[@alexanderSydneyOz]

It's remarkable what a/ the performers ageing 30 years and b/ not being in studio does to a song!

[@Theshpeemer]

Your right it is wee bit too fast and it's effect would be different and imo better if it was more slow and hearty.. however it's still an amazing performance and they did a great job!

[@sonjawhite5815]

Which King Henry?

[@suebursztynski2530]

I suspect none in particular, just a knight who meets a Loathly Lady and breaks the spell on her.

[@sonjawhite5815]

Which King Henry?

[@WMMFNews]

Henry the Lord of Ford?
