You aren't kidding! This could be song of the year (or of any year for that matter) - magical, stunning, beautiful, devastating - hearing this made me think of Dylan Time Out of Mind era, Not Dark Yet - hit those same feelings.
This is a great song!
Great show last week

Dave Bainbridge is the MVP of Prog this year. On 2 of my Top 10 Records, Strawbs and Lifesigns. This guy is a difference maker. Don't sleep on him.
Great pictures. I've seen the band many times, but never seen Dave Cousins on keys. Maybe next time.

Looking forward to my day in court.
Absolutely loving "When The Spirit Moves." Thanks for posting that. I saw The Strawbs last year in Wilmington. Attendance was dismal but they delivered a stunningly beautiful concert. I just wish more people were in to The Strawbs. A lot of their music is really moving.
I was there as well; nice pix.....

Anyone here going to the Strawbs 50th anniversary concert next week in NJ? I got to see them last night in Sellersville. Good show

This one floats my boat for sure, vintage Strawbs.
