10,000 Maniacs Live 2010 Unkempt at Home. Thanks to all our friends and fans for making 2010 a fun year. Have a safe new year filled with love and laughter.
I'm so greatful that Sandy Denny 's song is still being performed by so many other good musicians. Such a great song with to me meaningful lyrics. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗
I believe she would be happy. It is the best version I've heard, next to Sandy's. I've listened to a lot of people cover this. No one even comes close to Sandy's version, but this is very good.
She gave it to the world from the start: for Judy Collins, for Nina Simone, for many many others in her too-short life. Not easy to take on, but if you take it on well -- and 10KM take it on so well -- then it lives on, it lives on.
Why do so many people on TH-cam have to say which version of a song is "best"? There are so many brilliant musicians out there, and each of them are unique. We all have our personal favourites, but why this need for league tables? This is a beautiful version of a great song.
I hear what u r saying,and u r so very right. This is a truely beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. She does Sandys version true justice. The accompanying musicians do great justice to the Brilliant Fairport Convention. Love it
You & me both, Rick, but I live (and will presumably die) in Catalonia and nobody in my adopted family will understand it! (And I'd also love one of the Dead's epic Dark Stars...) So I'll have to settle for Mozart, Beethoven, maybe Paco de Lucía, I don't think Sandy will mind...
Paul David Martin, I played Judy Collins version at my mother's funeral. Plan to have Sandy's version with Fairport, and Ripple by the Dead at my funeral. I don't think good music has to be understood...I say go for it!
Look I'm a bit late here but I had to comment, this is a wonderful rendition of this beautiful song.lovely lazy pace and sweet gentle emotionally emphasised vocals from the singer.Thank you 10k maniacs and I'm sure the Lady would be pleased
Yes she sure does,I'm sorry I didn't know of Mary or you're selfs until I came upon your beautiful version of this song but I'm going to make up for that!.All the best to you for the future
5:12 The drummer, "Something in my eye there- just need to..." Honestly never heard this song before last week when a snippet of it was used in a TV show prompting me to seek it out- somehow though it feels like I've loved it for years.
Loose is a good way to put it. We tend to tighten up at times when the red light goes on, but this was for mostly friends and family. Wine might have been involved.
Damn it Mary.....First you blew my mind with you're remake of " These are the days "....and now despite my critical eye I have once again been mesmerized by that Siren's voice! I pride myself on critical analysis and you just shut me down every time! Beautiful....wonderful....exquisite! JO
Joe Boyd produced a lot of Fairport Convention and 10KM's The Wishing Chair. IMO this is a great rendition of what may be Sandy Denny's "signature" tune .
Thank you. You honoured the song. Didn't try to make it different for the sake of being different. After Sandy Denny's Peel session version, that's the best version for me.
Top version of this wonderful song. Mary was the perfect replacement for Natalie. Saw them live with Mary in London in 2000, I was expecting to be slightly disappointed without the original line up, but needn't have been, was totally blown away by this fantastic band.
Whoa I had no idea 10kmaniacs covered one of my favorite songs of all time. Honestly it's a song that needs no cover. It can't be done any better than the original but this pretty good
I never heard of this fine group until about 1997 when I was on a trip to NY. I love NYC and walked all day in Manhattan as I did on other trips. Part of my walk was going across the Brooklyn Bridge and back to Manhattan. There was major film equipment and a very extensive camera on I think they call them dolly tracks, the works. If I recall there were 4 people that I imagined must be pretty famous. I asked on the side one of the crew people and he said they were of the group, "10,000 Maniacs". I later bought their album, a cassette tape, but don't remember the name of the album. I just remember they didn't sound as much like folk music on that album as they do here. I'm eclectic but like them performing this great folk song here. Nice to years later see them live here. I was walking then back across the bridge and saw some graffiti down low "Yuppicide" and suddenly the World Trade Center beyond and took a picture with the graffiti down low like a caption. So sad only a few years later all that happened that I feel we won't know the truth about for many years, like JFK, Bobby, Martin too, and Malcolm X. I wish I would have taken some pictures of 10,000 Maniacs too with that beautiful blue sky day with the beautiful blue sky people who know how to fly. Thanks 10MKTV for making this video!!
As with all great songs it's not a matter of who's best it's a matter of preference . With so many versions of this & the bar at which Sandy & Fairport Convention set you wont find a more beautiful feel than they put into it. Some songs can only have one person that makes it stand out as a timeless piece & Sandy Deny sure made this the special number it is. With Richard Thompson 's exquisite melodies & Leads it's just a simple fact it was they that had that special magic this song creates . As a musician myself i don't believe in who's best or this solo is best or this is the best version but in some cases as with any art there can only be one artist that coined as classic piece of music & Sandy & Fairport did that with this . Many great renditions including this one all have their differences but truth & musical history will have Fairport Conventions & those incredible vocals of Sandy Deny as the original masterpiece that made this tune have the feel of the time & feel in which it was written & recorded in. Some times it just is what it is. No matter what you do when you change the song to reflect your personal take & feel you alter the true feel of the song good or bad . I do believe if not always the original is the best as it's the purest feel that particular group or artist had in mind. Tough to play Jimi Hendrix the way he played or change his versions and say i did a better job than him. Maybe different but not the way he did it. All this is just my opinion & i would not tell someone else if they preferred a different version they would be wrong ,it is about personal preference to a point.
Yes, indeed. We love Sandy Denny and this song. We enjoy playing it so we do. It really doesn't matter to us what other people think of our version but we don't expect people to think this is better than the original. Hard to top that! Thanks for being a music fan.
Who sang this song with Fairport at Cropredy in 1987 folks? I have a recording if it somewhere from the radio. Rick on electric violin sneaked in a line that sounded just like The Musical Box.
She has quite a story . Your welcome , the honor is mine you have one hell of a story yourself (plus I was born March 2nd 1963 haha) Thank you so much 10KMTV Bye ~:-}>
Wow just wow! I was listening to Fairport Conventions original and wondered which artistes had covered it. Eventually found this masterpiece.
Thanks, Phillip. We're big fans of FC and Sandy Denny.
See Judy Collins, Rufus Wainwright, and others
"Josh Turner Guitar" , Nina Simone
Gorgeous song and great rendition. Wow. It always gets to me.
I'm so greatful that Sandy Denny 's song is still being performed by so many other good musicians.
Such a great song with to me meaningful lyrics.
Warm greetings from The Netherlands
👍💜🍀🤘💪🇳🇱🌷🤗
Thanks, Chris. We all love Sandy Denny. Her version is still the best.
Me 2 x
Brings a lump to the throat and a tear to an old man's eye...
I always cry to this. One of the saddest songs ever.....
Thank you for doing this spectacular song and God bless Sandy Denny. May she Rest In Peace.
What a wonderful version of one of my favourite songs. I hope and think Sandy would approve❤️
I think this is a lovely version that does the original justice
It's not easy covering a Sandy Denny song. We love SD.
While nobody can do it like Sandy, MR displays depth as a vocalist that is truly amazing. A beautiful version of a remarkable song.
Agreed
It's s beautiful version. Mary's vocal and the strings are divine
Agreed!
Sandy 🙏🏼🌸 This will be played at my Memorial Service.
written by Sandy Denny when she was still a teenager. I believe that she would be very happy with this rendition.
I believe she would be happy. It is the best version I've heard, next to Sandy's. I've listened to a lot of people cover this. No one even comes close to Sandy's version, but this is very good.
@@sandrat6058 We are humbled. Thanks.
@@10KMTV Quite welcome. Thank YOU, for sharing your generous gift.

On this Day..........polski
Second best version I've heard, the first of course was performed by Sandy. Great post. This is a beautiful version of the song.
We agree that Sandy's version is the best. It's why we cover the song. 10,000 Thanks!

+majordendrocopos Well said.
+majordendrocopos u r so rite!!! i don't see music as a competition
absolutely agree just sit back and enjoy
I agree...why this mania to compare very different artists? One must be better than the others, according to their simple minds.
I hear what u r saying,and u r so very right. This is a truely beautiful rendition of a beautiful song. She does Sandys version true justice. The accompanying musicians do great justice to the Brilliant Fairport Convention. Love it
Gorgeous rendition of Sandy Denny’s quintessential masterpiece. 10,000 Maniacs honors her memory perfectly.
We love Sandy.
As a life long Fairport Convention fan, it's a definite thumbs up from me. Great rendition of a great song.
We're big FC fans as well.
Beautiful song, great vocal, love the lady singer, she is amazing💙💚💜
She's definitely got the feeling of the song.
I was not expecting this... wow what a great performance. That singer is absolutely amazing.
Thanks.
Gu
D backing 3 Fairport chaps 🍷
I've been saying for years that I want that song played at my funeral.
You & me both, Rick, but I live (and will presumably die) in Catalonia and nobody in my adopted family will understand it! (And I'd also love one of the Dead's epic Dark Stars...) So I'll have to settle for Mozart, Beethoven, maybe Paco de Lucía, I don't think Sandy will mind...
Paul David Martin, I played Judy Collins version at my mother's funeral. Plan to have Sandy's version with Fairport, and Ripple by the Dead at my funeral. I don't think good music has to be understood...I say go for it!
Me to have told my sons for sure
Leave it until the last minute
Check out David Gray's version - best male one IMO
A beautiful version of a beautiful song. I will check more of their music. Thanks
Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention set a mighty high bar, but y'all did a fine job with it. And the viola didn't hurt a bit. :)
Good work, hauntingly beautiful. Lots of depth, texture, great interpretation.
A most beautiful song performed to perfection very melancholy and brings tears to your eyes
Thanks, Michael. It is in fact a beautiful song.
Mary's viola sounds just as pristine as her voice.
Exceptionally good! An outstanding voice and each instrument 'blended in' so beautifully.
Thanks, Ivan.
Look I'm a bit late here but I had to comment, this is a wonderful rendition of this beautiful song.lovely lazy pace and sweet gentle emotionally emphasised vocals from the singer.Thank you 10k maniacs and I'm sure the Lady would be pleased
We're glad you finally made it! We all LOVE Sandy and Fairport. Mary does a great job with it.
Yes she sure does,I'm sorry I didn't know of Mary or you're selfs until I came upon your beautiful version of this song but I'm going to make up for that!.All the best to you for the future
Beautiful version, a pleasure to listen to....
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks. It had been years since we last played this song.
Mary, your voice on this is full of emotion and understanding.
Thank you, Bob. ~ Mary.
Fairport
10KMTV Typo....Fairport
Lovely lovely lovely version
Absolute beauty!
5:12 The drummer, "Something in my eye there- just need to..."
Honestly never heard this song before last week when a snippet of it was used in a TV show prompting me to seek it out- somehow though it feels like I've loved it for years.
It's a weeper. Sandy Denny wrote it when she was a teenager. Sandy is fantastic. Look her up.
TimRuffle........yep, me too. "Grace and Frankie" in a hot air balloon had me crying like a baby hearing Eva Cassidy's version.
Wonderful performance from all. Truly amazing. Mary rules! Such a beautiful voice!
Loose is a good way to put it. We tend to tighten up at times when the red light goes on, but this was for mostly friends and family. Wine might have been involved.

Beautiful....wonderful....exquisite!
JO
This is so beautiful. A perfect rendition
Voce bellissima,quanta nostalgia...grazie.
Breathtaking. I'm seeing them live tonight!
Yes , better than the intended war with the Euro s 🌮 x
Joe Boyd produced a lot of Fairport Convention and 10KM's The Wishing Chair. IMO this is a great rendition of what may be Sandy Denny's "signature" tune .
Absolute perfection
Thank you.
Beautiful. 😌
Thanks, Jeff.
Spendid rendition! Faithful and personal at the same time. Gave me chicken skin more than a few times.
Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful,OMG!
Great and classy rendition of a classic.....
If I had been in the audience, I would not have been affected by gravity during this song.
Thanks.
Can some one tell me were the time goes , maybe a greater power , have a brilliant life !,
Thank you. You honoured the song. Didn't try to make it different for the sake of being different. After Sandy Denny's Peel session version, that's the best version for me.
It would have been nice to hear Natalie and Sandy Denny sing this together, RIP Sandy
We never performed this song with Natalie, but she would probably do a good job.
Nice! I also love Eva Cassidy’s cover very much.....
What a gorgeous voice! I would love to hear her duet with Rufus Wainwright on this song...heaven!
this is magick..
Very very beautiful anyone who can sing this song without crying is A plus in my book.
Beautiful rendition.
Holding true to 10KM sound doing one of the greatest lyrical songs of all time.
The greatest cover out there, after Nina Simone's. KUDOS to all of the 10.000 Maniacs!
Have a great year guys!
Thanks.
I have to disagree, I think Kate Wolfs version is superb they are all good but just for me hers is the best. If you haven’t heard it check it out.
Sandy's legacy lives on. A beautiful rendition ...
We LOVE Sandy.
Wow!
That was just beautiful,I needed that.Thank you.
Glad we could help.
Well done I see that this is still a good live band.
Still. 40 year later.
Wow. Gorgeous rendition!
Mooi ..................
No one could eclipse Sandy Denny , but congratulations on a wonderful cover , voice and musicianship so perfect , She would be proud Im sure.
We could only hope so.
Thank You
I love this version. Thankyou. RIP Sandy.
Thank you very much. We love her music.
Top version of this wonderful song. Mary was the perfect replacement for Natalie. Saw them live with Mary in London in 2000, I was expecting to be slightly disappointed without the original line up, but needn't have been, was totally blown away by this fantastic band.
Thanks for that.
Thanks Steve for another 'gem' - best wishes for the January recordings. Look forward to hearing the new material and seeing 10KM in 2011.
Good! Beautiful voice! See you too: Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Eva Cassidy Live at Pearl's
Whoa I had no idea 10kmaniacs covered one of my favorite songs of all time. Honestly it's a song that needs no cover. It can't be done any better than the original but this pretty good
We agree. Nothing beats Sandy. We just love the song.
I absolutely love this version of the classic original, well done .
We're all big fans of Sandy Denny. Thanks.
I love Mary and the rest of the 10k Maniacs.
very nice version

Thank you for this. Where do you live?
@@10KMTV Hi! I live just south of downtown St. Paul, MN, about a 30 minute bike ride for me.
Really super great version!
Thanks, Victor!
God if she could be in the Braznose garden in August next year my life would be done well
We'd all love to be there!
This was wonderful. Thanks for sharing...

U have hit the nail on the head. Couldn't have put it better myself

Beautiful. Tender and a delight to an old man. At some point i have to accept i am not young, maybe at 80?
Thanks. When people ask me how old I feel I say, "All of them." ~ Steven (64)
No,not young....but at 80 we are still a little younger than some.....yes,amazing rendition....goes right to the soul.
It's a great version; I also like the bass lines here, very reminiscent of Ashley Hutchings original basslines
Thanks. Steven will be honored you said that.
We hope you say for another year.
I have yet to hear a unacceptable version of this song. Mary is quite good, I've never seen her before this. And the production is outstanding.
Thanks. It's a great song.
From the Album - An old fashioned Walz. Some fabulous tracks by A.E.McC. Denny.
magnificent!
10,000 Thanks!
Up there with the best,beautiful voice
Thanks, we'll be sure to let Mary know you said so.
WOW WOW WOW!
From a mad ken 76yo Aussie fan.
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!
What Steve said, said, said.
Superb. You can be very proud of this. You do the song untold justice.👍👍👍
Thank you. We're actually even better these days.
beautiful !!
still special
how good is this ... wow ...
Gee, thanks. Hard to imagine it was recorded 10 years ago
Wonderful cover. That said, no one covers this song better than Eva Cassidy did......
Thank you SG!
Great Version. I believe Joe Boyd produced Fairport's legendary Liege and Lief album.
You could not have picked a better band to cover. Excellent job!
Beautiful voice!
Thank you so much!!
I confess, I have never liked The Maniacs, but this is really, really well done.
We won't tell anyone. Thanks for watching.
excellent and very true to Fairport Convention's original
Thanks. We're big fans of FC and Sandy Denny
Very nice
Love 10000 maniacs.
Thanks, Dee Dee!
Beautiful
10,000 Thanks.
This cover is as good as the original, thank you Mary.
Don't know about that, but thanks. Sandy's version was near perfection.
Who sang this song with Fairport at Cropredy in 1987 folks? I have a recording if it somewhere from the radio. Rick on electric violin sneaked in a line that sounded just like The Musical Box.
I can't tell you, but we can probably find out.
I believe it was Cathy LeSurf who had the honour.
Great song. One for the ages. This is a fine performance. Check out Nanci Griffith’s version.
Oh my God you're beautiful , I mean all of you are , the song I mean . . . . are beautiful . Oh you know what I mean . Thank you
Thanks, Gary. It is a beautiful song written by Sandy Denny.
She has quite a story . Your welcome , the honor is mine you have one hell of a story yourself (plus I was born March 2nd 1963 haha) Thank you so much 10KMTV Bye ~:-}>
