John Renbourn would have certainly met JCF when JCF was in London and dating Sandy Denny. John Renbourn was singing in the clubs including Les Cousins on Greek Street in Soho where they all met, Both John and Sandy were at Kingston Art School around 1965.
Honestly, I have noticed that speeding up on a lot of 'live' versions. Perhaps it's the live audience factor that make them do that (and playing solo); also that he plays a lot of single notes over a drone sound in many examples (e.g. Lord Franklin). But that's some "Cannonball Rag" he plays!
A great guitar player, and I've been a huge fan since 1966. Changed my life. But I'm surprised that nobody ever told him to just stop singing. The worst singing voice ever recorded in the history of music. Worst of all, when he 'sings' a blues! -- I want to tear my ears off. His singing is like somebody reading the phone book.
Greatest guitarist of all times R.I.P dear John 🙏
nice that he opened with that terrific Jackson C. Frank tune! JR--what a treasure! RIP my friend!
That's not the opener. Something wrong with your internet?
Once a master always a master.
As a friend of mine said to me on hearing John for the first time, there is no substitute for quality.
Che fuoriclasse!
Thanks for posting it. I'm from Cosenza
always treasure Renbourn doing Jackson C. Frank's Blues Run the Game.. JCF would pass away about ten years after this concert.
I prefer Bert Jansch’s version
Thank you for yet another great video!
Wow, Iv never seen this before what a treat. Thank you. 🙏

Ganzissimissimo
Yes not seen this before. A master... But I agree particularly Judy was far too fast he missed a few notes. Odd...
Unfortunately, he seems to be playing everything too fast! 😔
lol, it's called virtuoso guitar playing, it's what he was famous for.
@@CBBovey Well I think he played much better in the 60's!

Same when I saw him live in 2006. He played too many notes too fast and it sounded messy
