The first time I saw RT was at Fairport’s Cropredy reunion in 1984. Thompson and his band were on the Friday night and Fairport (with Thompson) on the Saturday night; it was magical and much the same line-up as above. That song was a highlight aIthough I don’t remember there being a saxophone in it. “Calvary Cross” was another highlight.
