Love this song, saw him in 1984 at the Lisdoonvarna Folk Festivel where I met the beautiful girl in the blue tent. I never got her number, mind you there were barely any phones then, never mind mobiles......Rave on John.

Beautiful - thanks for posting and keeping the big man's music alive. Just know that you are doing a wonderful service to those of us in the world who can't access the Big Man's music so readily (I'm in Australia) . Thank you so much. I miss the big guy so much even today.

What a wonderful heartbreak song!

[bigal1957]

Simply Superb, John Martyn at his very Best.

Saw John a few times and He never let You down.

Sung straight from the Heart and with all His Soul.

R.I.P. to one of the Best things I have ever Heard in the Music World.

Bigal Misses You.

Miss ya John!

[Cradlestoner]

Such a pleasent artist that gets me deeper than I even realize...

What is that little dialog at the beginning tho ?

Where the random guy says something like "No more drugs" and John says something like "Yeah it surprised me too"

Now, that can't be right, what are they really saying ?

[knowthemagic]

@Cradlestoner

I think the guy in the audience says "No more dry ice!"

[Albalan0779]

Great clip ! John did so much in the time he had and changed the performance of his older songs as time passed it was great to hear how he changed them and what new  things he brought to them. A very sad loss to all music lovers.

10 stars. Thank you.

[LyraBB]

Nice one. Great song and John and band on great form. See alsop Big Muff from this same concert. Thanks for posting

[OforOboe]

Thank you, shiveringgoat. Brilliant. There had been a dearth of good Martyn videos on youtube, of his 80s concert period. Thanks for going a good way to rectifying that, with this! Good sound quality too.

[TheScranShop]

He turned some of the best performances that the fringe has ever known Ageless, timeless compositions that my kids, friends and family alike, all love to hear. Vocals were soulful spoke straight to the heart. Could listen to him for hours.

[africaoyibo]

takes me back.

to when friends where frinds.

music for my soul.

[tearsinrain89]

His voice sends shivers down my spine, I could kick myself for never going to see him live while I has the chance - R.I.P John......

[mertz123]

[ErikaRagazzi]
