John's " MY GOAL'S BEYOND " still stands as the best acoustic album - lite-weight as those beautiful songs are...

I wish John had been able to record more albums while he was possessed, as he is in this clip.

Many come- few are chosen.

Thanks for posting

i dont understand you people. this is pure art, pure genius on act, its flowing naturaly, theres nothing beter than this, if you cant understand, you are realy pathetic and i feel sorry for you. dont bother to be smart when youre not, just enjoy. if you cant, well, hahaha too bad for you

...... don't give a damn if the man is playing with a vintage Martin guitar or a "plastic" Ovation (in that level of playing, material things like... guitars don't count much)...You simply can't capture that on film... The man is flying between clouds upon Ganges River ,he is touching something most of us mortals can't even dare to dream about...He is close to the Divine,as Coltrane was......He becomes the music......

@G3FORC3

I agree entirely G3F... Well said.

This is insane.

@murrmac well actually he played ovations on most of his acoustic performance, in that particular period of time, and he always sounds really great. the audio of the clip actually sucks.

Check out the recently posted Munich '72 solo concert (part 5/5) for a quite sublime version of this tune.

[murrmac]

It's just a shame that for some reason he chose to play this on an Ovation guitar.

Let's be honest, the playing is stellar, but the sound is crap.

On a decent guitar, this would have been magical.

[keo774]

His statement of the melody is just breathtakingly gorgeous. His ability to vary his picking dynamics at that speed are really extraordinary.

I was speechless in gasping for breath from this, blown away.. and happy!

What godlike inspiration here, I cant believe it ahaha,

one of the absolute best moments of improvisations I have ever have experienced :)

Thanks for sharing this.

Is it possible that there exist a recording of this with quality sound?

[dschager]
