pentangle - reflection

[funkfanzzify]

pentangle is jazz for my ears

[Pitsku]

Zoinks is right. RIP Bert.

danny thompson rattles that double bass as if it was just a little guitar! really strong player. in fact, sometimes i feel his bass playing actually DROVE john martyns solid air.

[themachinist1000]

I think that second camera is meant to be John's "POV" :) He'd apparently had at least a couple bottles worth of red wine before the set. Apparently they had all had a bit a drink before that set.

Reflection...get it? lol

[ItinerateWolfMop]

the main guitar theme in this song is just a stoned version of a pre-LP Jansch instrumental called 'Joint Control'

[ssd1932]

I love Pentangle, and Reflection is fabulous. Thanks so much for posting.

Nothing can touch the Pentangle. They are what has been so lacking in American music for decades. (With the exception of say Donovan and Joni Mitchell but then they are both imported musicians too!) I bought the Sweet Child double vinyl import LP in 1974 and still have it today, in near perfect condition. They still perform- See recent videos here in Youtube. *Read the Wikipedia chapter on the group.

@cosmiclight I like Pentangle but they are decades old so I don't know if you're referring to today's American music or it's past.......? Because you can say what you want about Pentangle's brilliance but America has given birth to some of the world's greatest artist and styles of music.

[gordanbevels]

@cosmiclight You're a fool

[egits]

this video and the others from this same perfomance john renborn is "baked" LOL!

[urbansocrates]

I never saw this, except when i listened to the record, when my view of the band was EQUALLY distorted!

[DG19075]

The more I see and hear from the group, the more knocked out I am. Easy to see where the jazz influences come from in their other tunes...!!!

[davitogrubba]

Well, really it's all jazz. Just imagine gypsy elves in a beat club and you've got Pentangle.

[sgcim]

Wel, they're no If (the great British jazz band of the late 60s)

[MandoMohan]

Now there you go, it was Terry who sang harmony on this one.

[ourtube504]

ZOINKS!

[gnowave]

@ourtube504 oh the acid WAS SRTONG, where do you think this tune came from!

freaky mirror camera stuff. Maybe the acid wasn't stronger back then, just the special effects..check out the great orange amps and terry Cox's immaculate silver sparkle kit...timeless. Fucking amazing track!

[superglootheband]

@stinkboat The BBC Camera crew on LSD I assume

[scottandrewbrass]

Phenomenal.

[rca88]

Very nice to see this. I never saw the original version live, although I have seen later versions with Jacqui, Bert, and John, and once with Terry Cox as well. And Danny Thompson has been playing with Richard Thompson for many years so I've seen all the original members one way and another.

yeah..lots of people have a problem with the reflection lp..i think its one of there best..and ace title track

[thewordofgord]

thanks for this, too bad bass is mixed so low. any idea of source/year. my guess would be '71. certainly one of the most underrated Pentangle tracks from easily the most underrated album, Reflection.

thanks again....the word of gord

1972, French Tv programme.

[Shandybrother]

good to see this, silly early video effects spoil it though.
