@tcvmedia3605 Thanks so much for your feedback! That's the main intention with my little channel - trying to make folks aware of great music they missed out on.

Lolllllll that is hilarious All I can picture now is Sharon's thoroughly frosted muffin. 🤣😆😂

@kseer8269 Dear Sir or Madam, you're certainly free to go anywhere else where there's something to YOUR taste. 🤨

@adrianhoskins2752 I can't tell you how much I'm with you , Adrian - I can hardly listen to her without shedding a tear.

@emmceeee Well, that "cliffhanger" is VERY disappointing indeed and I still wonder why the rest hasn't surfaced so far - especially as the audio is THERE. Let's keep fingers crossed that one fine day we'll actually see the full-length footage . . . !

@@lazypokerblues I think your clip here survived only because it was *maybe* a pre-recorded insert for promoting the show, or from an end-of-year compilation? I really hope it isn't like the BBC and The Old Grey Whistle Test, about which I was just reading an article regarding Sandy Denny, where Bob Harris says most of its early archive was wiped in 1976: "A couple of chaps with clipboards went in. Some material was rescued." None of Denny's; just the audio. But fingers are crossed!

@@emmceeee Yeah, Auntie Beeb's infamous tape wiping politics in those days are widely known - I'm not sure if other British TV companies were really less radical then. Anyway - we can only hope and pray for the odd wonder to happen . . .

@@lazypokerblues Well, you've done her the *best* anyone could hope to do. Here's hoping LWT wasn't as bad as the BBC; I've got lots of other LWT stuff that seems to have survived, but mostly from the 80s... Have a great weekend!

@FootlooseMusic Hi and thanks for your comment! Would really like to hear your stereo remix - why don't you upload it on your channel?! 👍

@funftyfunf Thanks for asking! The thing is this track is the only one I digitised and uploaded on my channel exactly 4 years ago. So I'd have to dig out that cassette (wherever it might be!) and check if there's anything more worth putting up here . . . I'll try to do that, so yes, there is a chance - but I cannot make any promises . . . we'll see.

@@lazypokerblues Thanks. Fingers crossed.

@@funftyfunf . . . I just found it, but I now remember why I decided on that one song only - there are just 3 tracks altogether, and "Tattler" was by far the best one. I'll be uploading another one shortly, and maybe - MAYBE - the third one as well . . . but to be honest - I'm not that happy with those two.

@kingcormack8004 When you watch Billy closely during these first bars of "Big Blon' Baby" (and as I explained in my accompanying notes), Billy noticed that his amp wasn't working and as he then gets it running, he checks that it's actually working by picking one, two not very fitting notes.

@goldtop63 . . . das wollten wir, ja. 😏

@ralphscott1758 Probably nobody will be able to keep from weeping, Ralph - if that's what you want . . .

Wally always seemed to be having fun...phenomenal guitarist 🎸

@HeardFromMeFirst No. 🙂

@@lazypokerblues Oh you are another Fan of Sammy Jim used to book him in the pubs in south london

@@HeardFromMeFirst I am - I love his slide playing, especially when he did Hawaiian tunes.

​​@@lazypokerblues me too I used to run a pub in Putney S W London where he played regularly and also drank around the corner in the Bricklayers Arms.. He was a very nice guy, and very talented.. He told me that there had been a problem with the Performing Rights issue, and the possibility of being Black listed. That was between 1979 -82. ❤ He never really got the recognition he so deserved Untill you put this up.. And the fellow called Jim 🍷

@@HeardFromMeFirst What's that thing with the performing rights issue about (didn't get that)?

@stuiji The last song of the "official" setlist was "One More Chance". Then she returned for an encore of "Who Knows . . ." and "No More Sad Refrains", after which she left the stage for good - and forever.

I've read some folk saying her voice had lost so much by this stage in her life but I don't hear that myself. She always gets inside a song and her singing still takes you somewhere new. I wonder what it was like listening to these songs live or when she was alive? I find them almost unbearably coloured with melancholy all these years after given how immediate and present she comes across in the recordings.

@@stuiji Yes, it was commonly noted that Sandy could no longer fully handle certain vocal parts some of the songs demanded. Journalist Karl Dallas had this to say: "That last recording, she was not well. Trevor [Lucas] moved heaven and earth to stop it ever being released (. . .). Actually, in retrospect, she's not singing as badly as I remembered . . . [but] she shouldn't have done that concert." Colin Irwin (another journo) recalled her backstage before the gig being "an absolute nervous wreck, shaking, just marching up and down". And when Linda Thompson saw her after the show, she "just had all these blotches all over her face. She looked fifty. 'Cause she was just hitting it all too hard by then".

@user-s1o3nr532 I'm absolutely with you! He's probably been a splendid drinking buddy of Nick's, but he never was a remarkable guitar player - the more embarrassing the way he was staging himself here.
