Pentangle - I Got a Feeling

[GoodbyeBieber2]

Fuck you danny thompson! NOw I have to buy a expensive bass!

[MikeGipsonUSAF]

Her face is completely static... no emotions... except for the random weird movements of her mouth... wtf? Great song great band.

[MegaAndreNo]

Franchement magistral

[themachinist1000]

1:30 - Drool de la Bert! Or a tear? Great tune otherwise! :)

[alxcd]

The music is All Blues by Miles Davis

[jamiejamesjimbob]

The guitar is basically '3/4 AD' by Alexis Corner & Davey Graham. I think the words are their own.

[tomcatfoxy]

Maybe 'Strange feeling' - Tim Buckley's 'Happy Sad' album from 1968 with a cracking solo from Lee Underwood.

[cottageorgan]

@tomcatfoxy it has the same groove as 'Strange Feelin' but Tim's vocals take a sadder more melancholy road, Jacqui Sings it as straight blues. Both are great, and by coincidence when Tim played in London on '68, Danny Thompson played stand up bass for the recorded performance, later released as Dream Letter Live in London.

[cottageorgan]

@cottageorgan True. There's footage of Tim Buckley playing on the BBC with Thompson on bass. Excellent.

[cottageorgan]

I've always thought this song was very similar to Green Rocky Road by Tim Hardin or Fred Neil, I think they both recoded versions of it, and it is like All Blues of Kind of Blue, but then who really cares because they're all great, and music is about adapting what you find into what you do, and Pentangle do a fine job, just wish it was longer...I could listen to them all night.

[promerops]

@cottageorgan Agreed! If it was good enough for Bach and the other Baroque composers to borrow freely from one another, why shouldn't our contemporary musicians?

[voxmel]

I think Jacqui loves singing the blues. She always gets that smirk. :-) I really love this song. Larry Carlton did a good version of it too.

[mariadelfina1983]

sono meravigliosi!

[aquariussouldier]

Maybe its just coz Im on shrooms, but her face is trippy as fook!!

[c64c64c64]

maybe i am fucked in the head, but i love the way her lips move when she sings :D

[Shroganor]

@c64c64c64 I know what you mean! Love it!

[cottageorgan]

@c64c64c64 Me too!! She's like a strange hypnotic siren, quite mesmerizing watching her singing, and what a voice, clear as a bell.

[assdickass]

Holy shit, look at Jacquie's face! HAWT!!!!

[alek350]

Davy Graham 3/4 AD.

[chewingum]

That's weird. She's ugly and beautiful at the same time. Anyways, great song.

[dagonxanith]

Ethel Ennis? Often back then songs that black vocal artist were taken and given to more acceptable white groups.

[maclennan73]

I care not where the song came from, listen to how they play together, it s AMAZING!

[MrClearlight]

@maclennan73 They truly are.

[dwamego]

Try this....Karen Dalton - In my own dream

Can't find Butterfield's version

[dwamego]

Also sounds a lot like Butterfield's Blues Band

[rogersnook55]

Based on All Blue by Miles Davis

[joestrummerB]

there are only about 12 different tones. so it happens that songs sound similar. but the feeling makes the difference.

[frederickus]

Wow....folk Miles!!!!

[visualsketchpad]

Guitar riff is very similiar to Davy Graham and Alexis Kroners - "3/4 AD"

[Burdell22000]

Was this popular music 40 years ago? Where have we gone wrong, then?

[ElectricLabel]

It's a 100% total lift from "Strange Feeling" by Tim Buckley. Danny Thompson played on that too, I think. The original Buckley track was influenced by a passage by Miles Davis, I believe.

[stylesmarino2]

All Blues by Miles Davis.

Its a lot more than an influence.

[JDA315]

knowing where he stole this from makes it that much better... what a great period for music

[CelestialTeaRoom]

She knows how to work with her mic to get the sounds she wants. Beautiful voice and great group, wish this recording was a tad louder though.

[keren16]

it's so beautiful!!!

love it!!

LOL it's so funny the way the singer moves her lips when singing hahaha

but she has an amazing voice!

[hispapop]

this group is incredible, so very good, can I get their LP`s?

[cosmiclight]

I never thought I'd see such great period piece film work of them performing; ever since I bought the double import vinyl of Sweet Child in 1974. Still have it in pristine condition today. Thanks so much for posting these films. It is important that our youth today see these monumental performances by the incomparable Pentangle!

[TheOriginalWeeYin]

I DO know where they stole it from, but I promised never to tell.

[viking1au]

This song is listed on the cover of Sweet Child, but there are numerous releases of this album, ranging from say a dozen songs, 1 disc, to a double album ranging from 19 to 25 songs, or there-abouts. I have 23 songs on my 2 album set, and while it is listed, guess what's not there? Most people who ever bought this album may be aware of this. At least the song by Anne Briggs; "The Time Has Come,(Oh My Babe) is on mine.

[waaltaar]

really genius !!!

thank's very much

[killercrabman]

same name as the beats-diff song thought---ive got a feeling a feeling deep in side! oh yea!

[ItsCabs]

Love the Beatles tune of the same name, but this is riffed off Miles Davis...might want to also listen to the Pointer Sisters' vocal rendition of Birds' "Salt Peanuts" to see what vocalists can do with an instrumental.

[Conny68]

Awesome - love this band!! Is this video from "sweet Child"? Where are they playing from?

[jimjoyce25]

John Renbourn's original idea was to be a blues band. He figured out that there was more money in folk, and that was that ...

[Dementrius]

Brilliant! Miles Davis.... Folk style ;)

[2MinutesToMidnightt]

This song right here, is a BIG part of familly. No joke.

[poisonelegance]

Whoever wrote it is immaterial...

All that matters is that it is a damn good tune, especially done by Pentangle.

[eelmonte]

They stole this from the staple sisters i think.....

[Stacela]

they stole it from the Beatles

[robcastellani]

Miles Davis - All Blues. She's just singing the melody.

[Dawson101]

The girl singer looks like a lama, i was just waiting for her to stand up and spit at the camera

[johnzaq1]

Jimmy Page fan?

[MoonchildTheKing]

I love Pentangle more than myself.

[jamesthenabignumber]

The changes are from "All Blues" on the Miles Davis's Kind Of Blue album. Davy Graham also used this progression on a solo venture (I forget where).

[stuartpotty]

With Alex Korner 3/4 AD blues track, his first EP.

[Goromike]

I've got a feeling he was influenced by Tim Buckley, who was definitely in turn influenced by Miles Davis. The whole of the Happy Sad album (from which Strange Feeling is taken) was influenced by Miles.

[electronicpaperbloke]

The comment Bert makes about stealing, refers to his hero, Davy Graham and a tune from first EP, 3/4A.D.( the one that brought us Anji) and a tune of the same name. The riff and chord change have been lifted directly by the band for I've Got a Feeling.

[CILDAD]

i GOT A FEELING THAT THEY STOLE IT FROM A 'MAMAS AND PAPAS' SONG.

[mart3442]

Its a blues spiritual. Pentangle did'nt write it and neither did the Mamas and the Papas.

It just different arrangements of a traditional form.

[tytaniumboxhead]

its a miles davis composition

[honeyspur]

This is true - I have seen them in concert and they talked extensively about it.

[LemurLoverSnarfy9]

foax my dung

[misterecoumberto]

love the pentangle. love danny thompson. the sequence is stolen/borrowed from Miles Davies' All Blues.

[blackmore4]

But then again that sequence was used millions of times before, after and since.

[misterecoumberto]

i was talking about the particular bass line and a semi-tone chord movement in bars 9 and 10 that is defintely lifted from All Blues. That is what Bert's mumbled introduction is alluding to...but of course blues sequences have been around for a very long time.

[stinkboat]

great to see bert looking relatively healthy and happy. Was he the Scottish Dylan? Who cares...what a talent. It may be"just a standard blues progression" but in the hands of the pentagle it's transformed into something magical. You can hear Charlie Mingus, Miles Davis, Davy Graham, sonny terry and a whole lot more. Totally love the pentagle. They've made my life a brighter and better place since I discovered them in the 80's from a friend's mum.

[Sockr44e]

danny's basslines are alot better than his bass solos.

[anywhereanyhow]

I met Terry Cox on Monday at his restaurant - he showed me his music room and told me about the band reforming to do a 40th anniv concert later this year. Nice guy and his wife is a gret cook!

[evanrkg]

Thompson is killing it on that upright! Hot damn!

[tomrom7]

It's similar to Miles "All Blues" from "Kind Of Blue", but someone could have originated the riff before that

[mart3442]

Its just a standard blues progression. Pentangle just did what everyone else did and made their own arrangement.

[theschumanity]

Good performance, but, like everyone else here, I'm really curious about the song's influences. Does anyone know which came first- this or Tim Buckley's 'strange feeling'? (there's an uncanny similarity in the titles)

[mart3442]

It is a Miles tune I think. Danny played Double Bass on the Tim Buckley tune as well.

[stinkboat]

Danny Thompson only played bass on the live version on the Tim Buckley L.P. "Dreamletter: live in London '68" The bass player on the Happy?sad version was omeother dude...I think.

[mart3442]

Are you sure?

Danny recorded with Tim.

[stinkboat]

yeah...it was some guy called John Miller. I dont know wether he played on any of Tim's other stuff, and Danny Thompsom may well have played on some of Tims's material. He played with a lot of People besides Pentangle.

[mart3442]

Yeah your right, Danny plays on Dream letter and live at the Troubador.

[mjazz3981]

Sounds more like Tim Buckley's "Strange Feeling"...but hey he probably got it off Miles Davis.

Great stuff all the same.

[kjam06]

there really is some great stuff among the dross on youtube. thanx very much! luv renbourn, janch, thompson, et al.

[ambidine]

Good timing aswell.. If that match had gone out.. He would of not looked so cool..lol.. You can't really put aa tag on this group.. They are Blues, Folk, Jazz and rock and roll all in one.. I heard one song called "Once I had A Sweetheart" and there was folk, indian, jazz, and blues... ALL in ONE song.!! Real talent..!! Love to se more of their stuff on here..

[ambidine]

Yeah John lighting up is pure class..!! Jacqui's smile..lol

[CastleStormer]

Excellent! Thanks

[baimudan]

wow, it sounds a lot like it's based on mile's some kind of blue. too, too cool. and folky.

thanks!

[fretjuice]

Fast forward to the credits when Renbourn lights up and fires a few licks. A priceless, knowing look in his direction from Jacqui while Jansch can only bow his head. Wonderful stuff. Great vid, thanks.

[domdudill]

Great stuff

[PupTent]

I think they 'stole' it from Miles Davis' "All Blues" and added their own lyrics. Anyway, another great vid, thanks.

[thatmatty]

They actually stole it from Davy graham and alexis Korner, who in turn probably stole it from miles! the tune, (if anyone cares) is called 3/4 AD.
