This was *the* great crowd pleaser when Sandy Denny played the Troubadour. Sandy opened for The Association. For the second set, she was joined on stage by half of Fairport who were in the audience. That's when she sang Matty Groves, and the audience erupted in cheers of delight. Of course, as soon as Sandy's set was over, everyone but the label hacks got up and left, me included. I wonder what The Association thought about playing to an empty house. Gil NP: Off Night Backstreet
