    I was at this gig and I'm visible near the front. This night changed my life, I just didn't know it at the time. It was seeing pics from this gig taken by a mate with a "proper" camera that inspired me to take up photography. It's been an enduring passion and led me on many adventures and to make new friends, including many performers. I photographed John a number of times, including his final gig in Glasgow, a couple of months before he died. I love his music.

    Sound track for my adult life. Summer of '83, days spent working and surfing in Cornwall, used to pull a few cones in the evenings, a friend had a compilation tape of songs played nightly on cassette.. One song stood out, know one new who it was, annoyed us all season until early autumn when a friend walked in... "oh excellent John Martyn"... open mouths all round... Solid Air was bought next day... Few months later wandering around Canterbury early evening, walked past the Marlow theatre to discover JM on that night... first of many memorable gigs. This is sublime one of the very best... thanks for uploading, makes now a old man very happy.

    Some people from the acoustic/folk fraternity had a go at John for 'going electric'.. but as seen here - they knew not what the fuck they were on about.. The man will always stand out as a milestone in musical history.

    John played for me in Hebden Bridge Picture House the night before. I had to drive all the instruments and gear on stage over 200ml to that hall. He leapt of that stage, ran across the hall and gave me a huge bear hug.

    12 years before this performance I was going out with this person called John Lewis who later became Jona Lewie. He was in a band called Brett Marvin and The Thunderbolts at the time. They had just played a gig in Manchester and we were on the train back to London when we heard music coming frim a few carriages down, It was a corridor train so we went to investigate. It turned out to be John Martyn and friend, we stayed with them for the rest of the journey and on reaching London were invited back to Johns pad which at the time was in a Mews in Chelsea. We jammed until the very late early hours. It was a night I will never forget. RIP the amazing John Martyn.

      Me too. It was Solid Air. Then I couldn't get enough John Martyn, particularly the acoustic stuff. I later grew to love the jazzier John and saw him live just once at Glastonbury festival which was incredible even though he was really late coming on due to the usual JM issues, but it was a magical experience. A quasi-religious reverie, lost in the music.

To tell you the truth I had forgotten how good he sounded, how fabulous he looked and how much I enjoyed him despite the initial shock of seeing him front a band after many years solo/acoustic. As the memories come back it is painful as hell to know that you wont be seeing him again. Thanks to this video from the Rotters Club we can all re-live it. Thank you so much for posting and for making my day, week, month, year xx
