Knebworth - FC and Led Zep

[Pat Helms]

....and since no one can recall a single tune they played - obviously, not one of the most memorable sets as well.

In truth its almost certain to have been a selection from what's on the Farewell Farewell album (tracklisting below)...with maybe a Sloth thrown in for good measure...

I'm sure I remember a ropey old tape recording of it 25 years ago (bought from a head shop in Guildford called something like the Divine Frog), but I might be imagining it all.

Side one

   1. "Matty Groves/High Road to Linton/Orange Blossom Special" (Traditional, arrangement by Fairport Convention; Trad., arr. Fairport; Ervin T. Rouse) – 8:34
   2. "John Lee" (Dave Swarbrick) – 3:18
   3. "Bridge Over the River Ash" (Trad., arr. Fairport) – 2:40
   4. "Sir Patrick Spens" (Trad., arr. Fairport) – 3:17

Side two

   1. "Mr. Lacey" (Ashley Hutchings) – 3:36
   2. "Walk Awhile" (Swarbrick, Richard Thompson) – 4:13
   3. "Bonny Black Hare" (Trad., arr. Fairport) – 2:40
   4. "The Journeyman's Grace" (Swarbrick, Thompson) – 4:35
   5. "Meet on the Ledge" (Thompson) – 6:18

1997 30th Anniversary Edition (Encore Encore): Extra tracks

   1. "Rubber Band" - 3:05
   2. "The Hens March Through the Midden/Four Poster Bed" - 3:37
   3. "Flatback Caper" - 6:38

I think I remember that shop too, but maybe I'm imagining it too.  If it is the one I think I remember it always seemed a bit like Mr Benn's shop, and you were never quite sure it would be there next time you walked past!

So Swarb denies the 1970 Troub Zep jam happened, but Peggy maintains it really did occur.  Maybe Swarb had gone to bed...?

I think this is a bit like Stills and the Croz disagreeing about where they first sang together (Joni's or Cass's I think)...can't remember which side of the argument Nash comes down on...  

It always brings to mind that old Post-modernist mantra... There is no one truth; there are many truths.  

This is my truth...tell me yours

Nash agrees with Croz.  Nash nearly always agrees with Croz.  Unless Stills is in the room.

You have to remember that we are talking about the early 70s, which were effectively the same 'decade' as the late 60s and you know the saying -

'If you can remember anything about the sixties, you weren't really there.'

I am of the same age group and I can't even remember where/when I met my husband!

So you see, never trust a hippy, especially in the memory department
