Bert Jansch captured live at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia, June 4, 2007. The video consists of his performance of Blackwaterside followed by some vintage Jansch banter. He tells a story about John Renbourn and then forgets why he told it. Roy Harper called his presentation "awful," but I dig it.

  • When I saw him, he told this story before playing Fresh as a Sweet Sunday Morning. It actually does have something to do with the lyrics:

    If I were a small bird so tiny

    I'd hide in her hair just to be near her

    To hear her sweet voice

    And feel her sweet body beside me

  • Mystery solved! I do not remember if he played that song next, but if he did, he did not explain the connection. I'm thinking Bert remembered the story but blanked on which song it was about... which makes it even funnier, I think.
