When I was a kid my older brother would play the entire Led Zeppelin IV album over and over again. My favorite part of the entire album was the mysterious and haunting voice on the song right before the infamous Stairway to Heaven call the Battle of Evermore. It wasn't until over 20 years later that I heard that voice again on the radio when a college station played Tam Lin by Fairport Convention and I discovered who that voice was. I've been in love with this voice ever since.

@sammyrocksu=hard to believe that that astonishing moment was generated live on a December night in 1966...45 years ago........and thank God captured on tape & enshrined here hopefully in perpetuity. A chilling & almost beyond-tears-heartbreaking genius performance.

just watched a documentary about her (which was good but was 85%+ talk about her & rest actual performance music..I would've preferred 50-50at most (her work is more important to hear than behind the scenes minutia about how the new drummer felt uneasy about joining the band) but fortunately they played a bit of this & I looked it up. Her voice changed over time & never had this particular delicacy that it did here early in her career..this is ravishing & heartbreaking

I just found Sandy Denny through Phil Lynott's tribute. There is always another path to explore.

@supermarineable That voice and experience was made out of a time that will never come again, just as it was. But we have it on record, so it will travel forward in time and space, available to new generations- and may we even vaingloriously claim to be a part of it?

Aaaaaaawesome.

@jaworcyk Good catch. Shows how the traditional English folk medium is public property. Must be thousands of songs with this cadence. Jacqui McShee is one of the few singers who can come close to Sandy Denny. But Jacqui she lacks Sandy's graveness - that dark quality that hits you over the head like a club. In my opinion that is...
