Contradicting birthdate.
Top sentence shows birthdate 1943 and early life section shows 1944 birthdate. Needs correction by any editor who knows exact correct year of birth.Thanks.--  Dak ota  21:57, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry my mistake. It's definitely 1944. Now corrected. Ogg 08:19, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup Dec 2005
This article has been tagged as needing a cleanup for some time. In the absence of any other attempts, I thought I would give it my best shot! I have done so, and have removed the cleanup tag. However, I'm still not really happy with the result. If anyone thinks they can do a better job, please feel free to consign my edits to the recycle bin and start again!

1991(?) comeback tour
I'm not entirely sure where to put it in the main article, but she toured in, I think 1991 or possibly 90. Sadly it wasn't well received because (I assume) stagefright meant her voice was often all over the place. I saw her on one occasion when she appeared to overcome the nerves and give devastating readings of a couple of songs, but mostly it was painful to watch.

Babe I'm gonna to leave you
Someone has recently added that "Page had also nicked most of Babe I'm going to leave you in the summertime from a Joan Baez album. Baez had copied it from Briggs. In the 1992 Zeppeling greatest hits re-release, The song credits were changed to: Page, Plant, and Anne Briggs." Joan Baez credits the song to a singer called Anne Bredon. Also, this is confirmed for example here. Is there any evidence for Anne Briggs writing it? Bluewave 09:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The credits as included on the led zep. 'remasters' collection were changed to include Anne Bredon; Anne Briggs was never mentioned & is not known to have ever even performed the song. Jimmy Page apparently heard it from a live recording of Joan Baez performing it. Various 'Mojo' magazine articles have dealt with this story, if anyone wants to verify it. The credits for the song, as included on Led Zeppelin albums/collections, have certainly never mentioned Briggs, though Jimmy Page has I think elsewhere mentioned her as an influence - perhaps all of this got mixed up when somebody was discussing it down the pub.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.16.76.81 (talk) 18:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Contradicting deathdate
This article states Bert Lloyds death as 1990, while his own Wiki entry gives it as 1982. Some clarification and/or correction is in order.116.251.149.40 (talk) 05:39, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Citation needed?
 . There are several anecdotes and photographs of Anne Briggs in the book "Dazzling Stranger" by Colin Harper (2001).[citation needed]. The whole sentence is a citation! Why is it tagged? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.8.222.179 (talk) 20:43, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

1962 album?
The text makes reference to a live album from 1962 on which "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme" and "She Moves Through the Fair" appear. Does anyone know what album this was? — ★ Parsa ☞ talk 00:52, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
