I saw Martyn in about 83 in DC - what sticks in my mind is his final song, some light-hearted little ditty that had me and half the audience whistling along cheerily - good man, great music
Fantastic to see this stuff again. This and 'Amsterdam' are two of my favourites of his songs and I'm delighted to see that they were caught on film. Very interesting to hear he was supporting Whitesnake - the big fella often gave his best performances when he was in a rage! Many thanks for uploading.
I know it was from a gig in Ludwigshaven filmed for German TV - I think 85 but not sure. He was supporting Whitesnake!! I think thats partly why he was so aggressive cause after every song there were chants for Whitesnake - not his audiance at all. Have waited years for Technology to allow me to improve sound & quality which ive done and a joy to share these recordings. Glad you enjoy.
I think Alan had to get permission from his primary school teachers to play the gig :)
