Her voice is like spun glass. The constantly spinning vibrato and control even at those breathy sections as well as the range jumps and hitting everything! And the band was excellent! Blending so many elements and making it work like there was nothing.
Just discovered them today from a random UA-cam recommendation.
Check out Willy of Winsbury ITV - just amazing
@@reneharde3459 Thank you.
@@reneharde3459 That's the one that got me.
@@maxsonthonax1020 Glad to see someone agrees with me for once - Thx!
I had the enormous honour of eventually being able to call John Renbourn, my mentor in so many ways, a friend. Such a generous soul, and an incredible musician. Five spirits making such magical music. Thanks for this. They were, and still are, unique.
Wonderful. Always loved these guys.did you love in London?
You were, I think, extraordinarily fortunate. I would have sold my soul to get to know John. Maybe in the next life.
The theme to classic and groundbreaking BBC sitcom Take Three Girls
She was the perfect vocal for this group.
5 musicians at the top of their game - it doesn't get better than this...
God, that voice. Pure.
sweet jesus, this band
Bloody fantastic. Why have we lost this degree of fantastic talent?
They made that look easy. Pentangle are a phenomenon.
Listening to this from my hospital bed today, quenched my soul
Hope you're feeling better ❤
@@cyprusd2049 Many thanks!! Yes, now out! ❣
I loved Pentangle. They were unique and exceptional and still sound amazing.
I remember buying Basket Of Light when I was 16 and loving it. My roots. R.I.P. Bert & John.
I first heard this song in 1971. Pentangle has been my favorite group ever since.
My favourite Pentangle song ❤️
Her voice is like a precious diamond!
They were just bloody perfection!
Pentangle are absolutely bloody fantastic and a brilliant group i have always loved them and I am forever listening to them and Jacqui's singing is absolutely beautiful and spellbinding i could listen to her for hours pentangle are sheer perfection oh how i wish i could turn the clock back in time to when music was proper music not like some of the shit and rubbish you hear kids listening to today greetings from Swansea South Wales UK 🏴 🇬🇧
Danny Thompson ❤❤❤
Such a great bassist!
Fun fact: the album by this name was produced by Shel Talmy, who also produced Bert's "Birthday Blues" and...the Who and the Kinks!!!
Just phenomenal composing style and playing. The Pentangle is one of my favourite listenings together with Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin, Crosby Stills Nash and Young. Rich musical minds.
"Light Flight" was used as the theme tune to the BBC TV "Take Three Girls", set in swingin' London in the 60s. Some episodes are on UA-cam.
Total brilliance. Right at the top of their game.
UTTERLY HEROIC; IF NOT GORGEOUSLY AWESOME!!!!
I was lucky enough to see this line-up three times. Stunning....
Very, very, very…. and where did you see them each time, if I may ask, with a wince of harmless jealousy?
@@eahannanI saw them twice in 2008, then again in 2011 - all in London. The 2011 concert was Bert’s last before he died, and you could see the sadness on John Renbourn’s face.
@@jonathanbrowne9864 incredible. At least one of those concert’s online I believe . Something different each time I’d imagine ☝️?
Jacqui McShee is by far my favorite vocalist from the British folk revival, and maybe period. There might be a few opera singers (Te Kanawa, Fleming, Netrebko, Garanča, Sutherland, Freni, Tebaldi, Callas, Battle) who can match her, but no one is better, IMO.
Agree she is perfection, love Sandy Denny too
Wouldnt leave out Maddy Prior for longevitycand quality.r@awakeningwithreiki9451
You are absolutely correct nick
Thank you, @@martinpugh1008.
One awesome song from my teen years. Close my eyes and drift back to long ago........
Never fails to give me goose bumps.
This is better than the album version for me, scary levels of talent!
Wow...a real blast from the past! Super voice...and some lovely guitar work there, guys! Thanks for putting this up!
Terry Cox has a got a "50 ways to lave your lover" groove going there.
What a vioce.
I can't believe that there is a voice like Jackie's
Mind blowing perfection ❤
Original and a superb example, of English and Scottish folk music fusion; with jazz.
🏴 🏴 🇬🇧 👍
So the Welsh and Irish northern if you want to be pedantic didnt produce any folk music and i dont really hear the Scottish influence here and im Scottish
Why bring race into it
Very superficial not to mention insular and tedious
I would say this music is rooted with Celtic music.🇨🇮🍀
@seanbrou-bj9ob bollocks jazz classical and English pastoral folk music particularly Northumbria.
No trace of fiddly dee 🇬🇧
So glad I saw the classic line-up reunion tour at the Lyceum in 08 and got their autographs 👌
"Let's get away, you say, find a better place ..." 👍
Thank from JAPAN
One fantastic band
Simply sublime!
I remember that this was used for a TV series, called “Take Three Girls” , in the 70’s I think ….❤😊
it really doesn't get much better than this tho......
Incredible
The old 5/4 "Take Five" groove here. So nice.
It's 12, divided 5/4 and 7/4, except for the slower middle part which goes to 6/8. What brilliant composition!👍
I wonder if The Stranglers were familiar with this….sounds like ‚Golden Brown‘ was inspired by it. Fabulous band and performance!
Yes! I hear it completely.
See dave brubeck. Take five and golden brown original
Fabulous performance music. Thanks for posting them. Good time for you.
Muito show.
Splendid group!!!
Los amo. Gracias 💖🇦🇷🌻☯️
Thank you for sharing this video. ✌️🙏🏻❤
Pentangle disproves that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts...
Ah, Take Three Girls!
Apparently Trish Keenan was a huge fan, her favourite was the lost broadcasts 1968-1972, hence the name of her most successful band, Broadcast ❤️. Rest in peace beautiful Trish, we all miss you x
So very very good
Love this.......
I have about 20 Pentangle and related CDs.
take 3 girls, me thinks
All day long 😌
Mimicked bit never mastered ❤
I was introduced to Pentangle by a teacher at school and have loved them ever since. Is there any video of them performing The Trees They do Grow High?
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I prefer this to the studio version where the double tracking of Jacqui's voice didn't seem to blend well into the mix.
Pa ba du pa ba du di tam pa :)
great musicians and the girl is fine!
God almighty Lort Hab Mersuh she is!!
She is definitely FINE!!
And the band is straight 🔥!
Anyone know what time signature this is in? Thanks!
In the dawn of a new model army extromanat
I think Stereolab, PJ Harvey and King Gizzard to name a few where influenced by this band.
haha
Definitely Steriolab
It’s blatant,, and I never noticed…😂
Could you post the name of this song's writer?
I suppose the cameraman thought he was being artsy imposing one image over another, but it only results in you not being able to see either of them clearly. Very annoying! Fantastic group, fantastic singers and musicians, fantastic song.
Folk version with lyrics of Take Five.
No it isn't, this is in 12/8 time divided 5 and 7, Take Five is in 5/4.
@@ThinPicks Sounds very similar to me.
@@babylonsburning1 Count it with your fingers: 5/7/5/7, except for the slower part in the middle of course!
Sounds like golden brown by the stranglers..
Not far from it, true
Both this and Golden Brown have a bit of influence from Take Five, by Dave Brubeck.
@@mandoprince1 Maybe, except that this is in 12/8 time, divided 5 beats and 7 beats in the verses, really innovative and interesting 👍
Golden brown a waltz and this very very similar rhythmically
