I wasn't fortunate enough to hear the "Young Tradition" live but I can still remeber vividly Peter's perfomance at the Eisteddfod that used to be held at SMU in Dartmouth, Mass back in the late 70's & early 80's. Peter was like lightening lighting up the stage solo, dressed in a flamming red suit. He did a number of songs but his redition of "On Board a Man O War" & his "Roll Down" were like nothing I had ever experienced bfore or after. He was electrifying & the halls were bellowing. It was truely a remarkable all out emotional performance that still to this day I have never been so knock over by the likes of it. My socks were rolling up & down like window shades. I wish he could've only known the impact he'd had on generations of folk music lovers to come. Barry
