John Martyn - Big Muff - live

[sionnyn]

Thanks for this. John at his beautiful best, as I remember him. Did he pioneer the tape loop, or was he just the first one to master it?

[sirvidia]

[GeorgeLupine3]

It would be wonderful to have Outside In from this concert on YouTube as well.

[GeorgeLupine3]

The legend doing what he does best.

[StoneCrowUK]

you know seems like john martyn stuff doesnt get the views it deserves....

[241357]

This takes me back to first time I ever saw the great man. Absolutely superb! Is this version available on DVD?

[GeorgeLupine3]

Yes, its called 'The Man Upstairs: In Concert In Germany 1978'.

[ianmcgeachy]

Cripes, another bugger with the affliction!

To be honest, I dont know...its possible that one of the recent 'modelers' (I use the line 6 dl4 modeler which includes Maestro echoplex as one option) is almost as good as original-as damn it. Apart from playing -and that bloody voice of his of course- there's other variables also that may be just as important. eg... is he using wah wah and fuzz ?.How much? Answer maybe just to experiment all the time is my guess!

-cheers Ian

[ianmcgeachy]

All ***** n stuff'

[pikenekue]

Hi Ian, obsessed like you. Do you think I need an original Echoplex to sound like this? Maybe there are more recent FX boxes?

[tabulaerasae82]

@pikenekue thanx a bunch for this post!! great quality upload!!!  5 stars friend.

"all grace and danger...." rip john

[Zalvation3]

@pikenekue Try a Boss ME50, this is easier to play than it looks...JM fan, Scotland...

[pikenekue]

@Zalvation3 OK, that's more in my budget. Thanks to you my hot summer nights will be full of echoes of the BIG man.

[boo66]

@pikenekue No echo box will make you sound like this. You will sound like you.

[boo66]

@ianmcgeachy  It was easy for him. He wrote the fucker!

[ianmcgeachy]
