  • If you ever do one thing with yer life, see this man live. Complex human being but delivers 150 mins of sheer sock/soul shredding magic even his fellows levae with tears in their eyes.

    Scottish of course, only doing missionary work in England.

  • Wow. I mean WOW. I don't even like this song. But I like this. He plays guitar like it is... a band of hunters.

  • @wardka Yes I think it was only Joni's version. If I remember rightly it was "Billion year old carbon, caught in the devil's bargain" in between the lines that everyone sings...

  • @MrBasilGanglia No Fairport didn't play, but Ian Matthews (ex-Fairport) had the biggest hit with the song. Pretty sure it got to number one but if not it certainly sold more singles than any other version of the song!

  • @Kenentigern7 Wow, I didn't know he was scottish, I always thought he was born and grew up in London. Just goes to show doesn't it...

  • The best version of this song I've heard.

  • @EllJayAitch I don't know if you've thought about this in the last year, but I think it is in DADGAD as well, capoed at the 2nd fret so that the sound is EBEABE. I play a lot in Open D and DADDAD, and it doesn't seem to be the former from what I can see of his chord fingerings; I also tried Open D minor. It is a very distinctive sound, to be sure. Like you, I thought it might be simpler, so I tried the DADDAD tuning, capoed 2 frets up; now I think DADGAD capoed 2 frets up. Help?

  • I, too, have had the good fortune of seeing, hearing, experiencing this man play live. What a gift!

  • that ruled

    

  • Doesn't get much better. Reading "Electric Eden" at the moment and it is exactly about the genre that Richard is a pillar in.

  • Wonderful Arrangement!

  • Beautiful performance
