Outside In - John Martyn 1978

Brilliant performance by John Martyn of his echoplex masterpiece, Outside In. This is pure John Martyn all the way, and the way that many will forever remember him and revere him for...generating unbelievable sounds from one acoustic guitar, his echoplex, wah pedal and a fuzzbox. He used to be billed as 'the one man Pink Floyd'...and this shows why. A brilliant composition allowing innovative guitar playing and also his amazing vocals to create an awesome soundscape. I think of this as his 'pot-pourri' echoplex piece, or possibly more like a 'Paella' because it has essential elements that characterise it, but also has some variable inclusions, version to performed version. [Excerpted from the DVD Man Upstairs-Germany 1978 concert, and well worth getting-a complete one man John Martyn show with a great selection of music. I recommend to buy this -and get full quality video and audio -if you're a JM fan or guitar nutta-you'll not be disappointed!]

@mickleesongs The pleasures mine Mick (I got the name okay I hope)...theres def a hardcore of John Martyn disciples , and I would say its actually 'hardened' now since he died. A great loss. I have just got his last album and - its pure soul...pure. Theres alsoa tribute album coming out and Ive pre-heard some tracks on that - some are available on the tube also...its going to be a knockout..with also a DVD including some unreleased material of JOhn himself.....stay in touch squire !

try again two bottles thick saw john at glastonbury playing with the stacks of speakers and his pedals and mostly guitar was blown away seen him loads of times afterwards and never saw a bad gig even his gig with roy harper at the brum town hall was funny cos they were both so wrecked and still interesting i miss i will never see another live gig or him tell me he had never seen me take my a dog out before he was right the best player i have ever heard live

[tritonormore]

thankyou for this i have seen him play live loads but this reminds me of him playing at glastonbury one afternoon playing with the speaker stacks and an empty pyramid stage audiance cos he wasnt top of the pops he was and is awesome his music lives on a beautiful man

On FB I'm Mick Lee Green, would appreciate it if you can hook me up. Many of my old mates from those days, like John, are no longer around. But who knows, maybe some of 'em are still out there. Just found Paul Rowan online, one of the best harp players ever. Haven't seen him since we opened for Alan Price in 81 myspace.com/akalittlematthew/p­hotos/14926305#{%22ImageId
