Did anyone else go to this great venue in 1982? It was a very good weekend of great music and very good beer provided by Theakstons Brewery who also had a big hand in organising the event, of course the headline band was Jethro Tull who were magnificent ;D Cheers www.ukrockfestivals.com/nostell-priory-1982.html

A little curious to know if Peggy sat in with Swarb and Simon earlier in the day, I presume so.

Dave Swarbrick and Simon nicol must have performed on the Friday night, I was only there on the Saturday so I don't know if Peggy did play with them. If I remember correctly Jethro Tull were late starting their set so I'm pleased you managed to get there in time ;D

The thing I remember most about the Tull set at Nostell was how how much it rocked. I had seen them earlier on the "Broadsword" tour, and as much as I had enjoyed Gerry Conway on the actual album, I noticed he struggled live to keep up on some of the old songs . He didn't seem to have the stamina to do much more than drum in a very simple fashion, and the second of the double bass drums was hardly played. (Not meant as a criticism of Gerry, but he is a "folk" drummer not a rocker) . I think that's probably why by the time of this Nostell gig which was as much as anything a warm up for the U.S.A. leg of the Broadsword tour, we had a new drummer , Paul Burgess and he was brilliant , using all of the kit, thunderous double bass drums , brilliant. I was sorry when he left. Compare recordings of the European 82 tour with the later U.S.A. shows, those later shows rock!
As an example of Gerry struggling to keep up, have a look at the live TV footage from Germany of the Broadsword tour (Dortmund I think?) As it gets to the big finish of "Heavy Horses" Gerry struggles so much that he drops a drum stick and his feet barely move on the Bass drum pedals.

That is a great post adospencer...... I love drummers, but would probably not have noticed that......well said man Thank you for those kind words and for reading my post. Another example of Gerry finding the drum stool too hot to handle is the TV footage of the 82 concert from Italy (Rome I think).Towards the end of the show, and during (if memory serves) "Minstrel ", Ian turns to Gerry making wind up gestures with his arms as if to say "come on keep up".

It was a great Concert but I must admit, that huge Theakston's beer tanker that was there may have dulled my memory a just little bit A little reminder of Nostell Priory
