@@lazypokerblues Then we hadn't lost the art of laughing at ourselves, not taking ourselves too seriously, agreeing to disagree and caring for others despite our differences, which were many.
I love this woman's voice. A rare talent indeed. She may not have lived for a long time, but she helped to make the world a better place through music and song.
@@lindsayheywood7195 no, they're just different. There's no way to compare those two. Would you put Linda Ronstadt or Carole King in the comparison? I think not :-). You might want to listen to Grace Griffith who was also taken way too soon :-(.
@@deansongs I had not heard of Grace Griffith, but I just listened to her song water, fire, and smoke. She has a lovely voice and it is a beautiful song. I will be listening to more of her stuff. Thank you for the recommendation!
How come no one writes or performs like this anymore?? It's so simple, yet elegant and stately. Sandy Denny's voice is what I imagine an Angel in heaven sounds like. What a great find.
Thank you so much. I fell in love with Sandy Denny's voice when I was a young lad and bought the Leige and Leif album. I'm 74 now and still love listening to her beautiful voice. This is the first time I've seen this video of her singing White Dress. I started crying as soon as I saw and heard her sing. Absolutely beautiful.
Unforgettable Sandy, angelic woman, you make a grown man cry - to coin a phrase. You deserved so much more inner peace and joy for how much inner peace and joy you gave to all those who have been touched deeply and indelibly by your voice.
This is certainly a beautiful song, It sails into the Heavens with Sandy’s stunning vocals, the mandolin, and the perfectly understated band performance. I can’t stop listening to it, it’s sublime!
I bought the Rising For The Moon album when it first came out and have loved this simple but utterly beautiful song ever since. Sandy’s voice is just incredible. Such a desperately sad loss to music.
Me too. It's considered a bit outside the normal run of Fairport convention albums because all the songs are modern writing, but i think it's quite exceptional.
There is so much dross around today by singers who are acclaimed as stars - Sandy Denny really was one and her bands were too - I love this lady's songs, such a pity the younger generation don't know her and her music - RIP lovely talented Sandy
The more of her work I hear, the more amazed I am. She put her heart and guts into what she sang. She's one of the reasons I have such a soft spot for British women!
For each lineup that Sandy played in there is only one (professional) video. This one is the most beautiful. Let's hope the rest will surface, too. And I'm sure that in some archive there are even more recordings that will one day come to light.
Stunning... never saw this live footage before of White Dress .. got to see poor Sandy perform twice in NY in 1974 ... incrediblly powerful and introspective voice.. also great to see Trevor Lucas in this video... now if only a live video performance can be found of Nick Drake!
Simon Nicol once quoted as saying when Sandy joined Fairport, it was like a crystal glass had appeared in a sinkful of dirty dishes! She really was different class, still missed so much, by so many.
Sandy Denny, Jackson C. Frank, Nick Drake, and so many more musicians who died too young . . . all of their "psychiatric problems" were caused by drug and alcohol addiction.
i cant remember a more emotive rendition of any song i've ever heard by sandy denny, or anyone for that matter. absolutely perfect, and much too short, a pity they didn't try and extend this some how, with a swarbrick violin solo and then repeat.
You've done a fine job, LP, and have made the most out of just over one precious minute of what has to be of the Holy Grail of lost Sandy/Fairport footage.
I once talked online to the guy who found this clip in the archives while researching a book on Sandy. He told me that he had to promise not to make the full clip available. Yet one wonders why they keep sitting on this treasure and if maybe there is more, an interview perhaps? Of all the available footage, this is my favorite because Sandy is absolutely at it and it's a song that means a lot to her.
I was so fortunate to see Fairport in the 70s at the Sanders Theater in Cambridge, MA. Sandy was apparently ill at the time as she had to take a break during the show. Fairport was one of my favorite groups when Sandy Denny was with them. This song is amazingly beautiful. She is missed - RIP Sandy Denny. Thank you for the video,
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
No auto tune , no effects , no over production …just simple and pure vocals and musicianship !
A beautiful reminder of a unique little time in my life, when things seemed to be nicer than they are now (or anytime since the mid 70’s).
@MrMjp58
They say that everything was better way back when - not EVERYTHING, I'd say . . . but A LOT!

I love this woman's voice. A rare talent indeed. She may not have lived for a long time, but she helped to make the world a better place through music and song.
The only singer that makes me cry just thinking about her.
Such tragedy. So sad.
I don't think I've ever heard her sing a note that didn't pierce my heart.
Same here.
Agreed.
Yep.
And I couldn't agree more. Such a sad, sad loss. I'm so glad I got the chance to see her once.
Soooo beautiful tune. She was THE queen of the folk-rock music, unforgetable
the utterly beguiling, mesmeric Sandy. No-one like her. Taken too young at 31 xxxx
Sandy was too good , nobody could hold a candle to her . They say the brightest stars burn out sooner. She was the brightest ❤
And Eva Cassidy
@@veeeforvendettaTotally agree with both of you xx
To talented for this planet glad she gave us her voice r.i.p sandy.....
Que hermosa voz tenía está chica.
WOW!!! Just a fantastic vocal range, Sandy in my opinion is way better than any Singer today.
This woman has one of the most moving voices I've ever heard.
Sandy Denny and Eva Cassidy, unbelievable voices taken much to soon. What a beautiful song.
Sandy was my favorite singer for decades, but then I discovered Eva Cassidy, and I hate to say it but I think she is an even better singer.
And Grace Griffith :(
@@lindsayheywood7195 no, they're just different. There's no way to compare those two. Would you put Linda Ronstadt or Carole King in the comparison? I think not :-). You might want to listen to Grace Griffith who was also taken way too soon :-(.

@@lindsayheywood7195 awesome! One of my favorite songs to hear her sing is cup of kindness. Warning it might give you chills.
Beautiful! One of the best voices in music and a great song written by the legendary Dave Swarbrick. Just magic.
An angel whose presence the world failed to appreciate while she was around.
That voice was something else.
How come no one writes or performs like this anymore?? It's so simple, yet elegant and stately. Sandy Denny's voice is what I imagine an Angel in heaven sounds like. What a great find.
God it is such a shame we do not have more footage of Sandy.
I lived in Dublin for most of the 70’s. Sandy was a friend of one of my housemates. She visited us a few times.
was she angelic?
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u No, the White Dress was a wedding gown.
@@user-ht9fr6eh9u No, we were all smashed by the end of the night. Sandy was good at somewhat bawdy jokes, if remember correctly.
Just a lovely song sung by an angel.
Awesome voice our Sandy had, and such a tragedy to lose her so young.
I basically consider Sandy Denny essential for my calming heart needs
Sandy could bring a tear to a prosthetic eye - truly sumptuous vocals. To think that Swarbs wrote a gentle, bucolic song like this too. Amazing!!
Great song by Swarbrick sandy unbelievable both sadly gone r.i.p.
His song 'Rosie' is beautiful too.
Thank you so much. I fell in love with Sandy Denny's voice when I was a young lad and bought the Leige and Leif album. I'm 74 now and still love listening to her beautiful voice. This is the first time I've seen this video of her singing White Dress. I started crying as soon as I saw and heard her sing. Absolutely beautiful.
@adrianhoskins2752
I can't tell you how much I'm with you , Adrian - I can hardly listen to her without shedding a tear.
This song, really a prayer, brings me close to tears. The beauty of her voice and quiet desperation she gives to the lyrics...
Unforgettable Sandy, angelic woman, you make a grown man cry - to coin a phrase. You deserved so much more inner peace and joy for how much inner peace and joy you gave to all those who have been touched deeply and indelibly by your voice.
@Jos van der Steen
You put that absolutely right, Jos! Even your words bring a tear to my eyes . . .
Same for me. I used to dance to this tune with my wife and still I do. Thanks Sandy!
Sandy was a lot of things, an angelic voice yes , angelic woman no and she'd agree with that !
@@MrPhilfridge Thank you - I do not posess such intimate knowledge of her, but I trust you do. I may well have confused the singer with the song.
Read her biography 'ive always kept a unicorn '
This is certainly a beautiful song, It sails into the Heavens with Sandy’s stunning vocals, the mandolin, and the perfectly understated band performance. I can’t stop listening to it, it’s sublime!
It is a shame the whole video is not available. This is one of the most passionate vocal performances I have ever seen!
I bought the Rising For The Moon album when it first came out and have loved this simple but utterly beautiful song ever since. Sandy’s voice is just incredible. Such a desperately sad loss to music.
Me too. It's considered a bit outside the normal run of Fairport convention albums because all the songs are modern writing, but i think it's quite exceptional.
I always thought of RFTM as a cross between Fairport and Fotheringay - sadly underrated and unfairly ignored.
There is so much dross around today by singers who are acclaimed as stars - Sandy Denny really was one and her bands were too - I love this lady's songs, such a pity the younger generation don't know her and her music - RIP lovely talented Sandy
The more of her work I hear, the more amazed I am. She put her heart and guts into what she sang. She's one of the reasons I have such a soft spot for British women!
Simply the most beautiful voice ever.
She's so young, vibrant and lovely: an angel of the first degree.
Borrowed a phrase from Van Morrison. Nice.
Moves me to the very core of my being.
What a voice. What a singer. What appreciation of the beauty of the song. Unmatched, in my opinion.
It's time somebody posted a comment about how great Sandy was.... Lets never forget her. The voice of an angel, and the presents of a goddess.
@user-pn7lq6bh7r
"The voice of an angel and the presence of a goddess" - this is such an accurate description that I wish I'd come up with it! 👍
There aren’t many singers today (if any) who can sing with the depth and emotion of Sandy...
Exactly. Her depth gives me goosebumps.
Joanne. Are there any?
There aren't any. Just a bunch of half-nekkid bum jumpers pretending to have talent.
there is none really
Staggering in its beauty
Dear Sandy, I love you forever and ever...
For each lineup that Sandy played in there is only one (professional) video. This one is the most beautiful. Let's hope the rest will surface, too. And I'm sure that in some archive there are even more recordings that will one day come to light.
I hope so
There's a Fotheringay performance that is available. I think it's about a half hour long
Awesome as ever, the voice of an angel
Beautiful sandy denny such a sad life, and a sad grave, that looks so forlorn, may she rest in peace
The greatest died young! R.ip Sandy denny,you're a angel!
Stunning... never saw this live footage before of White Dress .. got to see poor Sandy perform twice in NY in 1974 ... incrediblly powerful and introspective voice.. also great to see Trevor Lucas in this video... now if only a live video performance can be found of Nick Drake!
Just beautiful, that's all you need to say!
Amazing band , Amazing music . Soooooo many wonderful memories of Sandy.
Oh what memories this brings back, only saw Sandy once, she has lived in my heart ever since
Lovely Sandy Denny, Rest In peace.
Great song from an unappreciated record. Lovely.
So beautiful, perfect pitch on every note, what a talent.
Simon Nicol once quoted as saying when Sandy joined Fairport, it was like a crystal glass had appeared in a sinkful of dirty dishes!
She really was different class, still missed so much, by so many.
@johnr8000
A crystal glass in a sinkful of dirty dishes - so great! 🙂 👍
My elder sister had this for her first dance at her wedding.
How lovely to hear. What a perfect choice.
Ditto. My sister in law did also.
So did I, only 4 years ago....
Very pretty song. Never heard of it til today.
If only there was proper diagnosis and mental health on the NHS in the 70s. This precious jewel would still be with us
Sandy Denny, Jackson C. Frank, Nick Drake, and so many more musicians who died too young . . . all of their "psychiatric problems" were caused by drug and alcohol addiction.
I do miss hearing Sandy's voice ~ thanks for this!
Beautiful
Many thanks for posting
Beyond beatiful!
The golden voice of The Lady Sandy Denny. This song is one of my favourites
Never seen the early part of this video before - extraordinary performance.
@Ralph the Wonder Llama
. . . unfortunately I've still not seen the rest (the lion's share!) of that awesome performance footage! :-(
Thanks Lazy Poker for completing the truncated video with photo stills and putting the completed song together. Beautiful!!
@Malcolm Wallace
I'm glad you like it, Malcolm - still hoping for the clip in its entirety to surface one fine day . . . !
Taken from the earth before her time .
Thank you for putting this together. I love them so much.
. . . you're welcome - i'd rather see the "lws" footage in its entirety (i'm sure it IS OUT THERE somewhere).
Yet another iconic band destined for a posthumous induction into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. Absolutely criminal.
This is Rock n Roll?
@@huskyfaninmass1042 Yes it is. “Rock n Roll” is not limited to “hard rock”.
@@kenmario6284 This is Folk Rock at its best
The Rock'n'Roll hall of fame lost it's legitimacy 30 years ago! Thankfully, Fairport Convention and Sandy Denny never did! 😊
i cant remember a more emotive rendition of any song i've ever heard by sandy denny, or anyone for that matter. absolutely perfect, and much too short, a pity they didn't try and extend this some how, with a swarbrick violin solo and then repeat.
My british favorite group!
Poor Sandy. 😥 Such a talent with such a voice.
Beautiful.
It's magical, thank you so much for sharing the video.
Sandy took Fairport to another level. Grace Slick did the same for Jefferson Airplane.
Totally agree Tim on both counts!
sandy, full of life, unduly cut short. you still make this old heart cry silent tears
@albert cruchaga
Beautiful words, Albert - I'm with you!
Gorgeous......
Sheer perfection
Wow. Never saw this. Lovely.
such a beautiful soul so talented
Great to Swarb in action - gawd bless 'im!
Thank you so much. Pure beauty. I pray that the rest of the footage re appears. We have precious little of Sandy. She always makes me weep.
THIS is soul music.
Meravigliosa ✨💖 Wonderful 💐🙏
Thanks for uploading this ❤
She's my favorite singer. She's fantastic.
The best. The VERY best. No debate.
there is no better singer when she is top form...this is one of those occasions
Magic
Que hermosa voz !!!!!!!!!
Sandy, the one and only. So much soul
This Woman died way to young, she was so talented, one of the most buietful voices of all time.
Yes, yes, yes, forever yes. You have melted my soul into gold. 🦋💖🏹
3 people didn't like this,why it's perfection
Eternamente Sandy! Fairport Convention forever and ever!!!

such a unique voice so sad she wasnt with us long,what would she have done had she lived,
Probably the same things Carly Simon or Joan Baez have done.
Perfect! Thank you for posting this. Xx
Soooo amazing voice😍
She sang like an Angel. and drank like a fish. Too sad to lose her talent so young, bless her.

This is the version of the band many call Fotheringport Confusion, with band members coming and going. Sandy held them together, though.
Thanks for that! Saw Sandy with Fairport in November 75. Brilliant!
Wonderful!
How could you not fall in love with her?
Sandy was far too good for this world
