I love this. Even in his kitchen, Bert sings and plays beautifully. The other thing I like is that there is not a trace of any ego with either Bert or John: just two best friends crafting and rehearsing a song together. Lovely.
So glad to have had these two masters as my early influences;I remember when I first heard "Bert and John"; took me days to believe people could write and play such stuff; sorely missed....
The first time i saw this in 1993/4 I remember thinking, that's not cool - in a kitchen drinking tea? Where's the real ale? The ruby wine? How wrong I was. There's such magic in the simplicity of the setting, the music totally takes over. Such is maturity. Bert and John's music is timeless.
He had a very distinct voice but his singing style wasnt one Id imagine was taxed terribly over the years versus say Robert Plant or Janis Joplin.so its no suprise he maintained it over the years.
I never saw John live unfortunately , but I saw Bert several times , Solo and with The Pentangle ... Oh to have been a fly on their kitchen wall . Genuine Artists /Musicians , sadly now eclipsed by " Modern Muzac " .......
Too bad they were smokers. They were my idols growing up in England, and it was so sad to lose them at a relatively young age. However, we are so lucky, because with modern technology we are able to listen to and watch them forever!!!
@James Tudor They were both blessed with long lives, such talent. I’ve heard that Burt suffered somewhat from his cancer, I hate to hear such things. Of course I never knew the man but they both seem like gentle souls. May they Rest In Peace.✌️
OMG this is so cute, Bert Jansch is teaching John Renbourn to read music and play guitar! What a cute doggo is Renbourn! (Pardon me, I've been reading too many comments on animal videos).
RIP Bert & John Your music is tattooed on my soul....My Lord...I would have given anything to have witnessed this........

My deep and distant youth was surrounded by their music...hours and hours spent just listening.
Moi aussi il y a longtemps..Bert un véritable songwriter...
You and me both! How fortunate were we to live in those amazing days.
That gorgeous emotional voice ..never forgotten .
I've been hearing about this guy for years. Now, i fnally get it.
My favorite song ever.
Thank you with greetings from Russia
I really miss these two guys 😥

The best version of this song in my opinion, I love the simplicity of this version, and the way the melody matches the vocal line.
Been learning THIS version, and it's not too difficult. Quickly becoming one of my favourites to play.
Incredible how his voice didn't change with the time...
@Simón Radowitzky
Although I could imagine he might’ve struggled with "Do You Hear Me Now?"
He had a very distinct voice but his singing style wasnt one Id imagine was taxed terribly over the years versus say Robert Plant or Janis Joplin.so its no suprise he maintained it over the years.
So beautiful it surely cannot be
Beautiful stuff. 4:48: "One of those ... and then ... and then one of those ... and the final one is ..."
Yo desayunando con mis dos magos. Hasta mi último día con vosotros. Gracias magos eternos. Os quiero....
What a joy to hear and see two such talented people with no ego both massively missed
Such a beautiful song....
Two of my heroes!!!
Magic..Bert's songs are all lovely reality tunes turned to fairy tales
Just lost for words Bert and John at their best.
Excellent......two of my favourite guitarists since I saw them many years ago in Pentangle...
Love this. a special moment in time thank you for sharing this!!
Beautiful Soul this man had....What talent they both had...
Two masters!!!!
beautiful souls...
Saw Bert one time. At McCabes in Santa Monica. What a performance. Sublime.
Masters at work !
I met John a couple of times and it was weird and awkward. I met Bert just once and he was an absolute delight. Wonderful guitarists.
Agree never met John but Bert was special in an ordinary way, spend a hour drinking with hm post a pentangle gig, 20 yrs after i first heard him.
Never forget the first time I saw Bert at Les Cousins in greek street Soho early sixties!!
Nice!
This is a great fly on the wall performance between two old friends.
So nice to see those two wonderful artist working together and helping each other to craft beautiful music
musical soul mates
The game Bert and John was playing is called “Go”... originally come from China...
This is awesome
Magic moments !
Great rehearsal clip. And Billy was hilarious
dang diggedy that chorus just flows so nicely
love you bert
the guitar have lost something....
Bye Bert&John
See you next life...
Thank you for this,hopefully there's more(?)

Not music makers they were magic makers

go this live danke
Is there like a full video of this? With more songs or anything.
Yes search for 'acoustic routes' it's a full dvd / film, but it's on youtube.
What a huge loss Peter...
Too bad they were smokers. They were my idols growing up in England, and it was so sad to lose them at a relatively young age. However, we are so lucky, because with modern technology we are able to listen to and watch them forever!!!
They were heavy drinkers, too. At least back in the day...Leaves a mark. But that came with the territory.
So unhealthy...why don't people stop.

Magic. There is no other word for it

(Pardon me, I've been reading too many comments on animal videos).
wtf dude
John Renbourn had a degree in music so I don't think he needed Bert to teach him how to read notation. This is a great clip featuring two masters.
@@johncuffe4076 "This is a great clip featuring two masters."
Next you'll be informing me that this is a _Video_ clip posted on a site called UA-cam.
you don't say? 😂

I'm glad smoking has dropped out of fashion
