Danny Thompson Trio (John McLaughlin) 1967 BBC (stereo HiQ)

HIGH QUALITY AVAILABLE. Some wonderfully restrained and comtemplative music from Messrs. McLaughlin and Co. The line-up:

Danny Thompson - bass;
'Johnny' McLaughlin - guitar;
Tony Roberts - sax, flute, clarinet.

The songs performed here on this November 1967 BBC outing are:

- Untitled/Mutiny on the Light (part);
- Mysterianisimo; and
- Spectrum Plectrum.

Nothing more up the sleeve now, that I can sense. Wait, there's...

Is that really john mclaughlin?

[avs002]

Oh no, NOT AGAIN!! Actually, that's why I like posting Johnny's clips - the "old hippie" forces us to change our image of him.

And some people don't want to do it! The "3 Acoustic Songs" video (the response here) was deliberately (and successfully) provocative in this area.

wooooow so great!!

[avs002]

I know. "Johnny" is just "Mr. Joe f'íng 'Kind of Blue for breakfast' McCool" here!

@dizzytones Yeah, there's a CD on Amazon. It's out of print and about 40 dollars from used dealers. This whole group is great. They don't miss a drummer one bit.

[eelalien]

This is obviously John McLaughlin...

[drummiedan]

Wonderful tone from Danny Thompson as ever...

[tallismaryward]

I met his cousin in the mid 70's. He said even in his teens Johnny was chucking in so many chords that people (other guitarists) had NO IDEA where they came from. He said where one guitarist on a chord sequence would have 6 chords to jump to JM would have 36. I saw him at the City Hall in Newcastle in 76'ish. and at Norwich in 2010 loved every note.

I love that visualizaiotn. it's stunning. And with the msuic it's just crinedible . Thank you so mch for posting this. Incredible. ESpecially that it's perfmromed laive. Thanks.

[ThePmfan]

It is indeed Johnny Mac. Nobody else played quite like this back then. If you listen to his stuff from Extrapolation and that slightly later era you can hear a very similar style.

[dizzytones]

Thanks. Yeah, great! Did this trio ever record? Tony Roberts sounds great too.

Shame Danny didn't get to do Extrapolation. Plus a very early version of Spectrum!

[echo680]

hadn't heard this before - stunning - thank you for posting
