I saw Steeleye Span perform this song back in the 1970’s and they are still as brilliant now as they were then. Maddy’s voice is phenomenal!

Steeleye are so wonderful, I can remember seeing them play this years ago and their talent has not diminished.

[NM-bpdy]

😍 musicianship. That drummer is AMAZING!

[garyaizen]

Maddy is so utterly perfect for Steeleye. Vocally and her persona is just off the scale incredible

This whole new Steeleye Span is fantastic.

Top Band

I must say I'm most impressed by this performance.
The song was originally on the HAT album (1975) & I recall seeing them on that tour at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester.
Violinist Violetta plays well & looks enthusiastic - she reminds me of Maddy from way back when.

This song Black Jack Davey was on the b side of their hit The day we went to Bangor. We all loved it much more. And almost fifty years later I still remember every single word of the lyrics

It's all just too perfectly wonderful, long may they continue !

[peterbuckmaster]

Phenomenal! I love the way that Steeleye Span have a dozen or more versions of each song, depending on when the performance took place. I'm forever grateful to my parents for introducing me to them.

[iainschofield]

I will never tire of that song and that was one of the finest performances ever!
Thank you!

Maddy still can, voice of an angel.The band is also great, though new ones...

[notmune]

Wonderful... wonderful... I’ll remember the fantastic concert at Tilburg / The Netherlands. Please come back soon !

[allandoyle]

Jessie has a great voice and her fiddle playing is beautiful

[hans-jurgenandresen]

Superb, das ist große große Kunst, von einer allerersten Güte.

[drumhd]

Wow, every lineup keeps delivering the goods. Brilliant!

[petec]

Went to see them a couple of months before lockdown. It was an amazing performance and sound. Madly Prior still loving every minute of it.

[katherinechampagne]

I think I just died and went to heaven.

I don’t think that this line-up has ever given a bad performance. Liam G is a dream drummer: he handles the often-odd time signatures with ease and skill. Both violinists, Jessie and Violeta (here) are darned good: for my money, Violeta is easier soloing, but they both have sweet and accurate voices.

Seriously good players all.

[desallen]

Maddy's voice is as pure as ever. Where did 50 years go?
