Steeleye Span Live 1975 TV Concert

 Available for the first time is this unique and intimate performance from June 1975.

It was recorded for the German TV show Rockpalast. This is a very rare live performance from the ‘classic’ line up of Steeleye Span and shows the band in their prime in great quality. It was filmed a few months after the 'Commoners Crown' album was recorded so features tracks from that album including the epic Long Lankin plus Little Sir Hugh and Demon Lover.
