Fifty years on.............and their incredible music still moves me! Grave New World is a true classic!

A huge fan of this creative band. One of the best ever, IMO. Their songs have impeccable dialogue & weave a story. Great to stumble across this new post

Dave Lambert a hell of a vocalist!

Strawbs rock!! Great band.

long live mr cousins......................................

Andy Richards - a fine keyboard player! I saw this lineup at The Venue in Victoria in 1980; my second-favourite Strawbs gig! My favourite being at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, on 3rd October 1976.

.. during a brief intermission at Petes in Gravenhurst,ON some years back..Lambert strolled out and asked me for a light..splendid humble dude...was another fab Strawbs small venue concert...

Just amazing Dave in his pomp ! .

I love this band ❤

Such a treat to find this high quality recording after all these years. Huge Strawbs fan since the beginning.

A lot of people listening to these Strawbs tracks don’t realise that Dave Lambert sings many lead parts. They think it is all Dave Cousins singing in different keys.

They do not make nor produce music like this anymore. What a creative and original band. Mixing folk with symphonic this was and is one of the best and most original progressive rock bands of the classic period. On top of this Dave Cousins and Dave Lambert trade wonderful vocals and meaningful lyrics. The instruments are beautiful. All analog including the beautiful progressive keyboards. The acoustic guitar mixed with electric and the violin makes for a beautiful classic symphonic sound. Rick Wakeman was actually a member early on.

Their arrangements always knocked me out. This '78 band picks up from Coombs and Hawkins without missing a beat. I hope the remainder of the performance is posted. This is obviously from the Burning for You lp follow up.

This triple set is among their very best. They do play their best songs with passion and grace.

Huge fan since 1974. Excellent BBC !

Luv Dave Cousins and Strawbs (all line-ups!)..great vocal/performance here from Dave Lambert 👏👏👍

Wow!.. Seen them 10 times..this was unreal!

Discovered this band in the late sixties . Loved them ever since , beautiful stuff like the Moody Blues . Diverse n original .... Thanks for this tune !

Thanks for putting this on you tube. I appreciate it.

I jus love this band 💪🙏

It's a crime against humanity that Lambert/Fernandez/Richards appeared on only one Strawbs studio track together.

Nice job on the sound and visual qulaity of this video from one of the world's most important bands !

Brilliant! I wish that I'd been there for this performance.

Fluida e piena di contenuti

Just purchased my 1st strawbs Burning for You 👁good stuff!!!

compleat song with a happy ending of course

Andy Richard's, covered the keys!

Come to Baltimore loves prog forever ,

Stunningly beautiful even haunting fantastic performance from definitely one of the very best group of the era we are so very fortunate to have seen them on many occasions...who is the keyboard player ??

The keyboard player remember Lindsey Buckingham...😂

4:08 there is no way that guitar part there wasn't inspired by the Free Bird solo.

Is there more to this performance that can be seen?

Dave Cousins doesn't half remind me of the actor Julian Rhind-Tutt (from Green Wing) here!

Do you have the names of all the band members from this 1978 lineup?

From a personal point of view it's a shame you didn't include 'Simple Visions'.

Who's the keyboardist? 🤔

HB bridge is a little weird. Otherwise fire.

I would not say that Strawbs were one of the GREAT Prog/Folk bands live - judging from this performance. I've seen GENESIS live (Trick of the Tail tour) - and they were totally professional, and Awesome (Bruford was tour drummer)! And I've seen YES 3 times, and they were just Otherwordly!

I prefer John Hawken on keyboards for this. Andy Richard butchered it.
