Yes, Rob, they were really good, after 45 years on the road they keep on showing their great talent. The vocal parts were really beautiful (by Simon Nicol, Chris Leslie and Dave Pegg), often very complicated and full of counterpoint. Ric Sanders is a wizard on the fiddle, and Chris Leslie makes great things on the mandolin.
BTW I've recorded the videos using a camera, a Sony DSC-W300. It was the first time I was trying to use a camera as a video recorder, and I was rather skeptical about the sound quality, but at the end I was surprised, the audio is on the whole rather good, so I've decided to "tube" them...

I'm impressed at the sound you got from holding up a camera.  I'd keep that camera.

I went to see these guys while I was in London in 1988.  I remember that I had a good time and I really enjoyed the music.  That's about all I remember.  There was a lot of beer ... and a lot more beer.
