Live from an outdoor concert in 1970. Sandy Denny is already gone and Richard Thompson would soon leave. Still, this is a very beautiful song and music clip.

  • Dave Swarbrick.long suffering violinist,mandolinist,guitaris­t and sadly underused lead singer!.It's neat to see him here so young and vital!.He has had major health problems for many years now,leading to a double lung transplant in 2004.but is still 'up for it' when he is well enough.

  • I know that Sandy was great, but I think she was the fantastic icing on an already amazing cake, if you like. This line-up of Swarb, Peggy, Simon, D.M. and R.T. was the best they ever had, I reckon. Mind you, 'Over The Next Hill' from a few years back was a brilliant album. Outstanding playing and singing.

  • Lol? This song has nothing to do with Thanksgiving!

  • This always makes my Thanksgiving day!

  • My Thanksgiving Day theme song. Always beautiful.

  • I never tire of this.

  • @mfbwargrave

    As anyone would!

    12 years later, he is thankfully still among us, but I would expect his real obituary, hopefully not before at least 2041, to be even better to compensate!

  • @neohip When I saw him in Birmingham at a concert in his honour, he was chuffed to have read his obituary in the Daily Telegraph a few days before !

  • Swarbrick and Thompson - unbeatable!

  • This is such an evocative piece. I love the girl at 1/50 who is she? At the end of the song there is a distict pause when the audience is silent and Richard Thomson opens one eye to check that everybody is still there! Just perfect.
