Bert Jansch - The Wheel (Live Norwegian TV '73)

[@DjNikGnashers]

This is one of my favourite pieces by Bert. Having had a go at learning this, I gave up, it's difficulty level is 11 out of 10, and I take my hat off to anyone who can master this amazing piece.

and to think he played this because the other song was too difficult, "easy way out" lmaoo

[@conorcatchpole3565]

Thanks for this. The black and white adds to it!

[@donnlarossa9173]

And so young and so great already.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

This is great...just great. Bert is so humble, so diffident. The guy is obviously in awe but playing it cool. A really nice time piece. Thanks for uploading al this footage.

The guy next to Bert is Finn Kalvik a Norwegian - in case any wonders !

[@suzannelawson9215]

Is Finn Kalvik, the Norwegian musician still around and doing music?

[@jiricirtek8160]

He gave up coke

[@suzannelawson9215]

Question was, is he still around and doing music?

@@suzannelawson9215 Had a google, Suz - wikipedia says he is currently 73 years of age, and his last release was denoted as 2005, as of April 2021. So it seems to be 16 years since he released a record, which doesn't mean he doesn't still play, though i can imagine osteoarthritis as one example might pose some challenges as many have developed it by this age if not before. I quite enjoy how earnest he seems with Bert here (and stoned, as if he had a massive doobie beforehand). This live session is among my favourite of Bert's live performances i've seen on UA-cam.

@@suzannelawson9215 and yes, he is definitely still around, maybe he has even uploaded to YT without releasing to a label. But some artists do also prefer to shun the limelight as they get older.

many thanks to the Cheeky Nonconformist once again!!!!!!

[@vincentlussier8264]

Bert does all the playing while the other guy holds his guitar and does nothing! Kinda funny but who wants to play when you have this jaw dropping guitar player infront of you who does it all? So who would even dare?

[@lynesrent-a-bike3509]

Are they bombed senseless?

[@mothratemporalradio517]

I dunno, i feel like Bert is just quietly spoken but as though Finn smoked a massive spliff beforehand, based on the chat before Bert plays Blackwaterside
