Fairport Convention 1969 - Liege and Lief (montage)

Recorded at Fairport's Cropredy Festival 2007

Band : Ashley Hutchings, Dave Mattacks, Simon Nicol, Dave Swarbrick, Richard Thompson, Chris While (for Sandy Denny)

A montage of clips from the following:

- Intro by Mike Harding
- Come All Ye
- Matty Groves
- Farewell, Farewell
- Instrumental Medley
- Crazy Man, Michael

Decent sound and video. Some excited crowd noise (can you blame them?)

BTW, this is the original version, there are ripped versions of this video around.

Is there a decent video regisration available on dvd of the whole concert??

It was really great performance... and Chris While sings so so beautiful!!!

[farnishk]

@Gooseberry51 There is, but the right issues are very complicated. One day it might be released. There is, somewhere, a recording of the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards performance, which was pretty good.

[farnishk]

Hey, what a great day you're having - found anyone else to share your misery with?

Months ago...

[farnishk]

In the castle grounds, with the helicopters - Trevor on voice. You might still be able to find it on the In Reel Time video.

Thanks to Chris White for an exceptional performance. No-one will ever replace Sandy in our minds but Chris brought us all close to her again.

[CityPriestess]

Chris While is awesome. I'm going to look into her own music. What a voice. Sounds like Sandy at her best -- though Sandy's soul came through her voice, and that can't be duplicated.

@jatsar

If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand. Go away and listen to Justin Bieber - he's more your age grouping.

........ it sadly does not capture the atmosphere (mind you what video would)...One of the most memorable concerts ever!! I was so lucky to have been there right at the front!...thank you for posting as I only have a crappy phone upload!!

Great to see Swarb back on his feet. Great music!!!!

[bigbuzman]

To me, simply stated and without a doubt , Sandy Denny has the most gorgeous voice of the 20th century . period . I have felt this way since 1st hearing her in 1970 - I don't know who is even close . She was / is that magnificent . and This woman is doing a great job here . Thanks

Knob.

@DickPoleman Are you always such a tit ?

[jmharrison51]

@DickPoleman What a graceless, fatuous, idiotic comment. The bunch of 60 year old hippies are the people who wrote most of and recorded the original album and, although Sandy is irreplaceable, Chris While does a great job. Come to think of it, I don't know why I'm bothering to reply to such an obvious knob-head.
