many years ago i saw these two in a pub near my hometown, there was no more than 40 people in the room and i was sitting about two feet in front of Mr Renbourn, you just don't get many nights like that. :-)
What a pleasure to not only listen to but watch something so indescribably genuine and authentic. Pure music - no pyrotechnics or showmanship - just PURE. I seem to remember that the first time John played this Bert just whistled it to him and away they went with the version on the Bert & John album.
I was looking for the John McLaughlin version when I found this, but Holy SHIT do I love Grossman and Renbourn together. I used to own this old vinyl of them together in Australia and it was AWESOME. Fucking LOVE these guys. For a little while (when I was "new") they were all I knew about acoustic jazz guitar. Both intimidating players.

@ronkopald I saw Renbourn, Grossman with Larry Coryell in Toronto in 1993, and they did this song. Just a remarkable show!
