This band was formed in late 1969, when bassist Ashley Hutchings left the band Fairport Convention. He wanted to go in an even more traditional direction, despite the fact that Fairport was also moving in a traditional direction at the time. But the most visible person in the band soon turned out to be Maddy Prior, who sang most of the songs. The band become one of the most important bands in the British folk revival of the early 1970s.
By 1973, the band gained a full-time drummer and pursued more of a rocking sound, while still covering many traditional folk songs. Also in 1973, they had a surprise hit with "Gaudete." It made the Top Twenty in Britain, despite the fact that is was sung acappella while being completely in Latin!
At the time of this concert, they had released the album "Now We Are Six" earlier in 1974, with the title referencing the fact the band had grown to six members. Naturally, they played some songs from that album, including their one hit at the time, "Gaudete." However, note that the band was much less popular in the U.S., which would explain why they were booked at the small Ebbets Field venue. As an example, their "Now We Are Six" reached Number 13 in the British album chart, but didn't make the U.S. album chart at all.
One year after this, the band would have their biggest hit with "All Around My Hat." It's a shame that's not here, but it makes sense in terms of the year.
By the way, note that the song "John Barleycorn" performed here is a very different one than the one made famous in 1970 by Traffic. That would be a bizarre coincidence, except that name has a historic general meaning in Britain to symbolize alcohol, especially alcoholic drinking, so it's a generic name like "Uncle Sam." I believe both songs with that title are hundreds of years old.
The music is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is an hour and 17 minutes long.
