The fact that he had to re-attach a string to his duct-taped guitar just goes to remind you that this remarkable sound is coming from a wooden stringed instrument and his vocal chords alone.
im 42 and cant belive its taken me this long to discover this genius of a man.saw the doc on bbc3 & im HOOKED ! the soul just pour's from him. thats the xmas list sorted. its like being a teenager again ! it's just SO right.
Thank you for posting this absolutely amazing version of one of my favorite songs of all time. He was a beautiful artist, and this was a gorgeous song!
not possible to do anything else listening to his music...not working not studying, not having sex, everything stops in front of his genius...wonderful
Watching this...after 35 years of seeing John playing Solid Air, never fails to amaze me the sounds he got out of one guitar. Forget about his voice even -which totally blends and of course part of the essential sound- thing is I probably know to 95% accuracy by now of how he played this..but can I get the sound he did? -Can I b---ll--ocks!!!
I know exactly what you mean, cause he used various tunings it made getting the song sounding right depended on knowing which one - and I never did and any JM song book I bought made the songs sound awful LOL. Guess we just have to listen to him do it which aint a bad thing. You take care (where you from by the way) im Frae Farfar the Bridie Toon :o)
