      @@lawrencesimmons5093 By stiletto I presume you.mean she can sing about a serious topic at a faster tempo. Sandy was a fine singer, but she could never get out of her serious folkie rut. This is why listening to Fotheringay is like having a mudslide descend upon you. Perhaps this is simply a matter of taste, but Sandy could not work with musicians who wanted to work at. faster (or at least more variable) paces, which may be why she and Richard Thompson had conflicts. To me good musicians are not stuck in ruts, and i think Sandy was, which is why so much of her music sounds the same, i.e. beautifully executed but dull, and every time she worked with Fairport she dragged them down to her pace.
      All I can say, is look at Sandy's life. She made a huge mess of it, and i still don't really understand why, but the reason we are "celebrating the 30th anniversary of her death" is because she could not function well, and she seems to have been quite stubborn. Keep in mind, RT's elegy to her was "Did she jump or was she pushed?" That one of her closest colleagues could write that about her, speaks volumes. RT and Ronee Blakely are still productive musicians, whereas all we have of Sandy is memories.

      @@raymondpierotti8414 You maybe need a hearing test. You fail to appreciate Denny's vocal character and mistake your chosen vocalist as worthy of comparison yet the sample you posted is shrill, grating and a brutal contrast to Sandy Denny's gentle refined and unique ululating intonation. Grace Slick surpasses your example in all respects; for tone, control, range and emotional clout.

    I wonder as to how many here commenting are actual musicians who play in a live settings in a venue that is often difficult to control. Live is very different from a controlled studio environment. I think this performance is good and you can criticize all you want, but a live performance stands on its own, that includes highs and lows and as such it is what it is. When I sing and play it is never the perfect setting I envisioned but in hindsight I have to be content with it and always strive for a better take in the next live setting. For those who have never been out there with just your voice and a guitar, you have zero idea of how it works and the constant adaptations you must make in order for that song to be delivered as well as that moment allows. ...

    Kristina had a very challenging time on this as Sandy Denny was from the old English Folk scene, and she and Robert made magic.

    I can't ever listen to this great song without thinking of the late great Sandy Denny who left us far too soon . At least what she did with FC and Forthingay is set in stone. Kristina did good in my opinion.

    Some of the comments on here...sheesh! Get a grip, people. This is a live performance by a band featuring only one person who was there in the original recording (and who had aged 37 years). If you want to hear Battle Of Evermore like the original, play the original.

    One of my favourite songs ever, by two of my favourite artists (Led Zep and Fairport) about one of my favourite books (Lord of the Rings).

    Be sure not to miss the 1994 Unledded DVD that backed up the cd album. They do this and other songs backed up by a traditional Egyptian band and a wonderful Egyptian vocalist. DON"T MISS IT!

    I went to watch Page & Plant in 1994 the unledded tour with the Egyptian orchestra it was amazing and they did this track as beautiful as it was hands down this version(the original) with Sandy is possibly my favourite track back closely followed by No Quarter.The queen of folk music Sandy is a national treasure

    Having seen Fairport Convention live a number of times, they are outstanding. Hard to classify them as per genre of music only to classify them as amazing.

    The people who criticized Donahue years ago are probably cringing today; her performance here is stellar. Alison Krauss has a similar voice, and I don't think anyone is going to criticize Plant and Krauss these days.

    I just love the way Bobby says the word/name, Sandy, even in his American accent--as he says it the very same, with a short A. It's magic to me! Leave it to Bobby to make the words, WITH change into TO, and then back again, with the brilliance of ease. Ahhhh....
