Pentangle brings me back to when I believed in happiness. I nearly cry every time I play them. I love Pentangle
I hope you are believing in happiness again
Love you, man. Take care, God bless and endless luck to you.
I feel sad when I read your comment. I hope you eventually find your happiness.
I felt this way too when I awoke three years & a half years ago. Look inside, You have everything you will ever need in The connecting Christ consciousness. There are so many of us who are waking up to the knowledge of how things have been and need to change. Be a part of that change. It all starts on the inside. There are more of us than you can ever imagine. Stay Blessed.
Me too! Music of my heart
Anyone else Still listening to this gem in 2020? 🤘✌🖖
Yes. I am.
Yes, and enjoying that odd frail-style banjo
.
Все на месте ↗️
Absolutely!
Me too....
Oh to have a voice like that and be joined by 3 of the greatest acoustic musicians that ever lived. Stunning display of talent and good taste.
True what you have said, but there is that nifty Tele with the AutoWah...
Make that 4 of the greatest and I agree
@@alecbrown3373 Thank you for confirming it.
2 of the greatest guitar players ever. A bass genius and a percussion master 🙌
I have never heard John play an electric guitar before this!
I discovered Pentangle in the early 70's, in college, and love them still today. So glad to find these videos on UA-cam!
Who in their right mind would thumbs-down this wonderful music? People need a life...
I just discovered them during pandemic, so glad I did yeah❤🎉
Her voice is exceptionally pure and the group are a joy to listen to.
That bass player is phenomenal
Danny Thompson
still listening in 2023 . I am 81 years old and it brings tears to my eyes.
Growing up I never heard of Pentangle, Probably because they weren't mainstream but now I've found them I just can't stop listening to them
I appreciate the pure talent of Pentangle so much...
No hiding behind editing, effects, or other such inventions.
It is authentic and beautiful.
I was born in 1980 and I long for this sound, but usually only find it in the past.
That is really unfortunate.
Thankfully, this is out there to be discovered by all of us who missed it initially.
I sought out John Renbourn and others after finding Pentangle.
As Robert Frost said, “and way leads on to way.”
Long may their music be discovered by future generations. Pentangle showed the world what magic could be achieved.
One of my all time favourites way back then - and still as much today in 2025 ❤
Pentangle live always outshone the original Pentangle recordings. They're pitch and note perfect always and they make it all look so effortless.
mickigoe so true
High quality... i'm speechless for the rest...
Musicians true musicians
You're absolutely right. I have radio sessions from late 60s which prove your point.
Totally agree- my favorite version of “Willy…” is not the version from this show, but another live performance.
Still an unbelievable combination of talent and musical feel, aren’t they?
I’m still listening in 2121!! Loved it since listening to it 46 years ago when I was 6 when my folks played it in the evenings and I was in bed listening to all the nuances .. I play it to my own now ..I have continued to listen over the years and learn the songs and getting more out of it as I get older .. will love it to til the day I die! Beautiful sensitive music 💛
Love, love, LOVE Pentangle
Most talented band ever,how lucky we are to get to see this
Still listening and i started in the 60s
Love Pentangle - so far ahead of their time. It's strange that their music means much more to me now than it did back in the 70s.
Classic and swinging, having such a good time with something they take so seriously; brilliant for the ages. I love Jacqui even more than usual here.
Long live folk music ! From whence we came, we shall revisit there, from time to time.
Yes, I still love their timeless sound. I am a radio programmer in Calif.(Celtic Cauldron, KSQD, Santa Cruz) j& I play their music regularly.
Fantastic Danny Thompson brilliant as always
Wow! They were good! That voice, that bass, everything.
And what a pace. Seamless singing, and never seen to stop to take a breath. Saw Jackie with her band at the Celtic Connections in Glasgow last January and was very impressed. She has a pair of incredible pipes.
I just love how much they appear to be enjoying performing this song- it looks like they’re having such fun with a less serious song. And it’s so well done!
Anyone else remember Music as great as this?
I watch this at least once a day. Pure joy.
If I ever hear anything better than this then I would be considered very lucky indeed.
My favorite winter song. It is.
An old Appalachian blues in the modal scale performed in an intricate arrangement by Pentangle. One of my longtime favorites.
Is it not originally a Scottish folk song?
@@central_scrutinizer You are both right. The Appalachian songs and ballads originated in the British Isles.
The wonderful Molly Tuttle used to sing it,she won a Grammy for Crooked Tree and her current Album City of Gold is great, first female to be awarded Guitar Player Of The Year, 2017 and 2018,🎸🍀🇬🇧
The camera work during this entire set was exceptional. Love how timely the editing was in highlighting Pentagle's facial emotions and playing.
Especially the focus on blondes in the audience.
True - thanks for pointing that out!
I was just talking to my pal about this, its sublime footage.
And i loved the fretting fingers on the mtn dulcimer
It's ageless.. fantastic!
Lovely Jacquie and her sweet voice❤❤❤
Some GREAT playing, and her voice is perfect.
I love this so much. I'm a 60 year old folk musician trying to figure out how I just found this group.
Been a long time since hearing Pentangle. If i had to describe their sound maybe something like 16th century minstrels blending with the music of our times. Whatever, their enchanting version of Rain and Snow has a light magic that stays with me.
Five Top Musicians At The Top Of Their Game.
A life-changing band!
Yes I am listening to this brilliant 2022
Nice moves Jacqui ! Glad I got to see Pentangle in 2008 before Bert and John left us.
Still great in 2022
I like their voices together. Great musicians.
Magic 🎉
This brings a big smile.
I wish I could live again in that time where bands like this were labelled as "bands from the world of modern music"! Those good old lucky times!
More like from the Middle Ages
Oh my how special - this is music
This is like, my favorite music in the world - 13th century rock n roll
still listening
I love watching Jacqui grooving to the music at the intro. She nearly cracked a smile. ☺
Yes, she's enjoying this one ...
Watch in awe. Such a pure voice.
The sound recording here is amazing! Crystal clear.
In 70's I used to "cheat" on my girlfriend every Saturday night by going home in time to listen to WFMT's Midnight Special (Chicago) where I immersed myself in wonderful music including Pentangle, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Stan Rogers and on and on. I wonder what ever happened to her... oh yea she's upstairs I better turn it down a tad.
Rick.. That's terrible.... Oh wait I get it.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rick R You sneaky shit you. I'd cut my date short as well, from a steady my age in order to be the rest of the night with a 23 year old redhead who was 6 years my senior. The steady wanted to play her game of virginity & manipulation, & the redhead just wanted to play no games other than that of who can come the most before we had to quit. Miss her so, & those wonderful days of physical clarity.
You've got great taste in music.
Excellent !
That's so funny!
2021 with pleasure.
Mint. Where’ve they been all my life!
Where were you?
Feel an immediate connection to this band. Funky folksy.
Love her smile
WHY have so few people seen these? Jacqui, John, Bert, Danny....brilliance!
Don't forget Terry Cox! He was mean on the percussion, and an excellent harmony singer as well.
Danny Thompson is a monster on bass!!
What a voice
Can only bless Jacqui McShee and the rest of them for keeping this genre of music going until another generation picked up on it.
Always a treat listening to these wonderful songs from Pentangle! ❣️❣️❣️
And 2021🌸🙏🏻
Saw them in London long, long ago. Absolute magic then and now but look! Jacqui Mcshee is rocking her arse! Never seen that before!
What has happened to our music --we have lost so much !
This isn't the type of folk music I grew up with, but I like it.
It's from the Appalachians in the USA, Bluegrass
Back then they were kind of on the periphery of the music scene. Wish I had seen them live. McShee was a vocal artist of very high calibre.
And still is.
Absolute tune
As freaky as this looks, it's strikingly consistent with how each generation's age group "discovers" and embraces this kind of roots music, yet put their own stamps on it.
(Born in 52, I remember this band and so many groups like them since the 60s)
Are you listening to the Unthanks?
Also born in 52. Have a record collection of about 1000 Lps. Was aware of the name but can't honestly ever remember hearing them until now. (Jan. 2023) Definitely a unique sound drawing on many genera's of music.
Freaky? I don't think so.🤔
Love this
The kind of music one can hear in the Appalachians.
I do believe this song came from there.
IMO the greatest band I've ever heard. They top Zep and Cream. Couldn't speak more highly of them 👍🏼
don't talk like a turd
Jimmy Page's acoustic guitar playing was heavily influenced by Pentangle guitarist Bert Jansch. You can hear it, especially in Zep's "Black Mountain Side," which is basically a tribute to Jansch's arrangement of the traditional Irish tune "Black Waterside."
@@bargainbassist A tribute he gave Bert zero credit for. Not the first instance with Page. He had a habit of it apparently 😄
Pentangle blew me away when I discovered them, being 15 years old in 1976, because I had read an article in the "Rororo Rock Lexikon", a Paperback Encyclopedia covering of all kinds of rock, pop and folk artists. I mail-ordered the Basket of Light album, and one year later, being in England for the first time as a language student, i bought all of their albums in second hand shops. The only "folk music" that I really love: jazzy drums & bass, the interwoven guitars, the sitar, the voices of Bert and of Jaqui, the only "pure clear female folk voice" I ever loved. This ist not really "folk", it is a genre of it's own.
Michael Palin on the drums
Nah... but in profile, he does look a little like him.
Terry Cox!
And Her Majesty the Queen Victoria, Empress of India singing.
@@neveniusvondubowatz7705That's her??? Wow! I thought she was dead!!
@@loge10 Well...
"Well I ain't got no use for your red apple juice, and I'm not gonna be treated this-a-way" -- wow, crystal clean.... sonic experts!
Excuse my ignorance, but what the heck is that supposed to mean?
Yes me
Folk music forever
Love it.
Just fabulous!
50 years later Molly Tuttle did a fine job covering this song... I didn't realize until recently just how old this song is.
Going on 50 years now!💝
Regrettably I never saw Pentangle. In the dying days of my university youth I was lucky enough to hear Bert Jansch though. Such is life. As it happens I bought the latter's 1st LP when it came out and I bought it because of Angie.
Excellent.
I would have loved to have been a member of that audience! 1972
Yes..Iì surely do
I'm ashamed for only just know discovering this band! Wow!
Me too, but that's the best thing about music. When its recorded in any kind of way, generations can enjoy the magic.
I've often thought some music is hid from you till the universe is ready for you to appreciate it like it truly should be.
Same here
Me too!!
Check out Fairport Convention. You will enjoy them also.
REAL Musicians playing REAL Music! Danny Thompson on Stand-Up Bass & Terry Cox, Drums...the glue that allowed Jacqui, Bert and John to shine through...
Bloody Marvellous!!!
Bravo
Um, Which one is missing this show, Bert or John? Never sure what they looked like, never their sound.
Wonderful. I love English folk music.
This one is more like US folk though.
Terrific stuff 😁👍
Just found this the other day and the honest musicianship and her voice, clear and true shows me how this tune might have been done when first heard. The accompaniment just fits perfectly, swinging the song right along, even the electric guitar somehow fits in and does its bit to develop the tune.
An electric guitar with a wah-wah(?), banjo, jazz stand up bass and drums behind a 15th century, beautifully clear feminine voice making musical magic? Of course! It must be Pentangle.
Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) loved these guys, covered this tune as well. Many bands were inspired by their musicianship, good to see folks still getting turned on to them😎
The Dead played this song on their 1967 debut album, and Pentangle released their first album in 1968, so I don't think you can say Jerry got this off of Pentangle. It's a widely known trad song, and like a lot of English folk songs, there are American versions (Matty Groves becomes the American Shady Grove, for example). I don't know if Jerry had any opinion about Pentangle, but given Bert and John's talents as players I wouldn't be surprised.
Jerry Garcia probably didn't even know there was a British band called Pentangle. The band formed the very same year the Grateful Dead recorded the song (a traditional), in 1967. Pentangle released "Rain and Snow" in 1971, on their "Reflection" LP.
Grateful Dead were CIA.
@@marleypumpkin4917 lol
@@stefanofocacci they actually liked Pentangle - just saw some footage from the lost film of their trip to England after Workingman's dead (I think) where Mickey was talking about Pentangle. I assume they all liked Pentangle once they found them. Of course cold rain and snow is a much older song with plenty of examples in America.
I didn't know Michael Palin played drums for this band!
Timeless.
I used to know and listen to the Grateful Dead's version
Excellent performance and video quality. Thanks for uploading!!
Awesome
Yes
Kiss Kiss Kiss, to ALL from Germany
There was a bunch of really gooood music by that time.
Utterly Sublime
check out her facial expressions at 1.43... awesome.. she has such an expressive face
As a Grateful Dead fan, I can say that this is the best version of the song I've heard.
Well, it was absolutely the most appropriate song for the boys to open the 3/14/93 show!!
Me too. I was looking for the Dead’s version and found this one too. Yes, the best.
