''Tonight's the Night...Live'' is the second live album by English electric folk band Steeleye Span. During the 1980s, Steeleye released only three albums. By 1991, the band was revitalized through the arrival of bassist Tim Harries and drummer Liam Genockey. Harries was younger than the other band members, and new blood returned the band to full-time activity. Steeleye found a fresh perspective on old material, as is evident on ''Tonight's the Night...Live'', which balances the band's rock and folk roots. The album includes new arrangements of several songs from earlier albums, some of them different from the earlier versions: "Cam Ye O'er Frae France" from ''Parcel of Rogues'', "All Around My Hat" from ''All Around My Hat'' (preferred by some to the original〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/tonights-the-night-live!-mw0000091390〕), "Fighting for Strangers" from ''Rocket Cottage'', "White Man" from ''Back in Line'', and "Padstow" from ''Tempted and Tried''. "The Weaver and the Factory Maid" (from ''Parcel of Rogues'') is effective. With a thrumming bass line, clicking percussion and repetitive violin and guitar lines, the song conveys the sense of a factory full of power looms. The other half of the album is new pieces. The most experimental is "Tam Lin", Fairport Convention's signature tune. To find a new approach to the song, Knight traced the Tam Lin story to Bulgarian folklore, combining three Bulgarian folk songs for Prior to sing.〔citation needed〕 More upbeat are "Tonight's the Night" and "The Gentleman Soldier". "Ten Long Years" is a nod to the band's a capella pieces. ==Track listing== #"Tonight's the Night" 3:34 #"Ca the Ewes" 4:44 #"Gentleman Soldier" 3:32 #"Tam Lin" 10:46 #"Padstow" 3:25 #"Fighting for Strangers" 5:31 #"White Man" 4:45 #"The Weaver" 6:04 #"Ten Long Years" 2:19 #"Dawn of the Day" 5:25 #"Cam Ye" 6:12 #"All Around My Hat" 4:19 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tonight's the Night...Live」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
