Wife & Husband at their best.
THIS VERSION was recorded in Melbourne Australia in 1984 at the Troubador Cafe with Steve Groves on electric guitar, Trevor playing acoustic. Many Thanks to Tomscotland.
None of us are young anymore but I hope we still cherish our youth in our hearts. I am so glad I lived the life I lived, from wandering around the world for years to marrying and having 4 beautiful children. 45 years married to the same guy.
Great performance of this Dylan classic. Trevor Lucas was such an underrated singer. R.I.P.
At long long last Sandy is being widely heard and new people coming to love her music, and the same should happen for Trevor.
Eh? She doesn’t sing a note ?
Absolutely Wonderiffic Lyrics By The Greatest!
Pete Toweshend of the great WHO said once said Sandy Denny had the perfect voice he was absolutedly spot on their is no better singer in musical history she was an amazing talent who sadly left us to young how I wish she was still with us today singing in that beautiful voice of hers.
I agree, that is a quite a reference!
Great song written by Bob Dylan and a superb version by the great Fairport Convention with the wonderful Sandy Denny and her husband Trevor Lucas both so sadly missed R.I.P. MY FRIENDS.
Trevor's vocal is warm and unaffected. Thanks for this excellent track.
STAY FOREVER YOUNG SANDY @ TREVOR AND THANKS FOR THIS GREAT VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC DYLAN SONG.
WOW... have to add this to my collection of Dylan songs... I discovered Sandy Denny and this group back in 1980... and still can't get enough...
Apparently written when he looked at his own little boy...
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan.
Nice to see a happy-looking Sandy
"Who knows where the time goes."
I enjoy listening to the smooth, resonant, tone of Trevor's voice..It is very soothing to the listening ear!! I could listen to him and totally relax..
He really nailed it here.
A fine, warm and sincere voice.
I was living in Melbourne then…..how did I ever miss this?
It's heartwarming to see her grand daughter following in her footsteps. Identical in every way, too!
Whats her granddaughter called?
I remember the day Sandy died. We were in shock. I'd met her a few times. She was a friend of my roomate and had given Sue all of her maternity clothes. We cried all night.
I was ironing and I've never been able to stand doing it now. I am a singer, but whenever I hear Sandy I know that there are Angels ..... and I'm not sure that I'm one! She is still with us in every note she sang and every word she ever wrote. She will always be incomparable and we will always miss her
I have been a musician for 56+ years, but just discovered her this past December, 2017 ... Just floored when I first heard "Who Knows Where The Time Goes." Good grief. One of the best and most incredible songs and singers I have ever heard ... So glad you got to know her. SO sorry you lost her ... We ALL lost her. What a voice. What a singer.
You were very lucky to have met Sandy, I envy you, I love Sandy and play her music lots.
Wow - thanks for sharing this with us Nancy 👍
Best

I guess you could say both Sandy & Trevor have stayed forever young.......Just such a sad, sad loss though that they gone and at a such a young age.I don't know it just strikes me in a strange way sometimes that here they were married and lost in such tragic circumstances. Georgia lost both her parent's when she was so young.
Georgia did attend the folk hall of fame award ceremony in UK for Sandy's award in 2016 (followed Cecil Sharp and Ewan MacColl who were named in 2014 and 2015! Trevor's music was so undervalued; Sandy was "the Lady" and her wonderful spell on all of us has lasted for 50 years
Trevor sang in a coffee place in Malvern near Melbourne in 1962; so nice
one of my favorites from the Attic Tracks... he was a great and underrated singer, and I hope one day Georgia Lucas will get to appreciate how much Sandy and Trevor meant to us all and still means to us.
Thanks....Excellent..Sandy, Strawbs,Fairport fan forever,,,,Didn't Have thiss
Makes me feel old (Which I am LOL)..Thanks again
Two great talents both taken from us much too soon
well,poor Sandy is forever young :(
As far as I'm aware, this version was recorded in Melbourne Australia in 1984 at the Troubador Cafe with Steve Groves on electric guitar, Trevor playing acoustic. I wish the uploader would amend the video title, what with it being recorded in 1984...
I saw him sing this at Prescote Manor in Cropredy before what became the festival.
Awesome
BELLISSIMAAAAAAAAA
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much.
Sandy underrated her wonderful voice and inflections. She wrote some great songs. Joni Mitchell is so famous and well-regarded that no one will object if I say I prefer Sandy's contained voice and thoughtful lyrics to Joni's voice and lyrics. Jazz muscians record Joni's songs so she's doing OK critically. The lyrics of Sandy, Fairport and most folk songs are those of senstive honest people and are the voice of those who don't benefit from unfair economic systems.
i won't object,with the exception of big yellow taxi and i met you on a midway and clouds (possibly a couple of others i will remember later) Joni is a dreadful singer.I loved her when very young but only becaue i had yet to discover Janis,and i didn't discover Sandy until i was in my early 30s.Many artists are better songwriters than they are singers.With age,Jonis voice has deepened to such a degree that i heard her somewhere and thought it was a man singing her song,until corrected.Sandy had such an emotive quality to her singing aswell as the sheer beauty of her voice itself.Very rare and very special.People these days do not know how to sing,believing eroneously that the louder and more you oversing the better singer you will be seen as,it's just horrid..hence all my favourite singers are dead.
Huh?
Maybe he wasn't such a nice guy. But this one is outrageous. Listened to it on my fourtieth birthday - and could't hold the tears...
I knew them both personally (we lived in the same village) and Trevor was a fun bloke. I never saw him behave badly but I'm sure Sandy's drug habit caused them problems. My greatest regret was that Sandy did a free concert for villagers but I couldn't go for some stupid reason (a girl probably) and Sandy died very shortly afterwards. Shocked!
Thank you for this! Trevor Lucas' version of Forever Young is my absolute most favorite! =)
Trevor goes off key around the 50 sec and 1:55 mark. As long as he talks he is fine, but he is not a great singer.
Lovely.
Well done second cousin, Reg Lucas SaleVic!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Max!
Trevor is an underrated singer. His voice is warm, very deep. I also prefer his version than Dylan's one. This song seem to be made for Trevor. There is a live version of 1982 Cropredy re-union but the quality is not very good.
Thanks for posting.
Ciao

Thanks for posting this I have always loved Fairport Convention-There was also an all women folk group around this time & it was the Garaggels (sp) it was another group. I can't remember their name so I can't look them up an old boyfriend gave me one of their tapes he'd made but it was taken from me. It was all women & they did harmonies etc. if you can think of any names let me know! Thanks +LaMax61 auc
@@bsbook4155 Kate and Anna McGarrigle?
lovely
Bob Dylan's version at the "the last waltz" is the best..
Listen to the early albums: Dylan changed the way people sing. He is raw and often harsh, He did not intend to be a sweet insipid singer He grates , he invents: he's changed music so everyone can, with talent, make their own music. There are lots of examples, Tom Waites comes to mind. Good God,to compare Dylan with Trevor Lucas is like comparing Norman Rockwell with Van Gogh
No comparison is relevant or logical, including yours.
There is no Sandy Denny on this version. So the headline is misguiding.
Timeless and so poignant…
Beats even Joan Baez version,…l plan to stay forever young!l really do …1914 generation!!!
Where the ***k is Sandy
i know! i was disappointed indeed.
Let Sandy sing it ??????????
I UPLOADED the tracks between FAIRPORT 'cause TREVOR &SANDY are better Known as Fairport members and several tracks of the CD are with other fairport members. I will upload the info. Thanks. A lot.
Thanks for your help from, "Induct Fairport Convention into, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" !
Dick ass move to put Denny’s name on this Sandy-free song.
Ass kickin’ lil’ guitar solo though.
A bit of a misleading title.
I indicated Fairport Convention because in the recordings of some songs both Richard Thompson and Dave Mattacks are present and then I believe that both (Trevor and Sandy) can be considered members of the
large family Fairport Convention in all respects. I'm sorry you disagree. I also seem to have pointed out Wife and Husband at their best😂
@@LaMax61auc I have that album and I also realise what Sandy's name does to a post. In fairness they were husband and wife at the time.
Perhaps a little note that it is Trevor singing this particular track (superbly) . . .
Being a fan since the 60s this was (initially) a disappointment. I've softened my original comment.
@@BrianWMay No problem. Watch the video of the FAIRPORT Re-union 1982 In Cropredy, I was present and there is a really nice interpretation of the song in question. I am of the opinion that Trevor made this song his own that not even Dylan can match it. My personal opinion of course.
@@LaMax61auc Rarely have I ever thought Bob Dylan did any of his songs well. A genius at writing and awful at singing them.
The golden time for Fairport (for me) was when they had Sandy and Dave Swarbrick overlapping.
Trevor sings that really well and I must absolutely agree with you. Have 'followed' them since late 60s.
"I also prefer his version than Dylan's one."
That's not saying much. Dylan is an excellent poet and songwriter. He's a lousy singer. I like Dylan's songs sung by almost anyone else.
yes! me too,he is a phenomenally good writing but shocking singer.Rod Stewart has done some gorgeous versions of Dylans songs.
I respectfully disagree, The songwriter knows his song and story like no other can, having said that I'm a big Fairport fan and i love Trevor.s voice.
Bob Dylan is “the voice of America”. Tutto il resto è noia...

@@lanabanana68 Joan Baez also covers his songs - a high standard. saw Dylan live last year in Australia. I am a great fan but the show was terrible.
