Such sad to know that we ll never have again such great musicians
Light years ahead of there time. Never managed to catch them live, but if I could have my time again they would make my bucket list
The arrangement is pure genius.
Standup Bass, Banjo and Sitar with folk singing....crazy that it works...but it does.. I agree with you...genius.
Pentangle is a really complete band, every member is just as important as the other. ❤
Oh Bert an your’Bensen and Hedges’ ciggies, sent me out for 60 cigs, three packets, bought from the two tubs pub in Bury town centre, wonderful memories xox
Mmm,,yes please, many cheers, I met bert, danny an martin in bury 1979 i think, bert played my newly bought guitar, I worked at an arts centre, did the sound for them a wonderful day an eve, they drank whisky ann smoked endless benson n hedges an was very cool an nice t me a young 17 yr old, fab memory xox
Jacqui in her prime and yes, better live an on the album. ❤❤❤
Just beautiful. This is better than the studio version. Jaqui's solo spot is just magnificent.
This music is magic¡!!
BRILLIANT !
Amazing
Back when folk was supreme. I believe this to be a adaptation of a 15 or 16 or 17 century song only think this because I vaguely remember as a kid in grade school reading a book on centuries old folk songs mostly 15 century-17 century of all cultures
English - written 1657.
バンジョーとシタールという組み合わせ、トニーはスティック使わず🙂🙂🙂すべてが破格なのにちゃんとペンタングルサウンド🎶👌
Well I once could have married the king's third son
And a fine young man was he
But now I'm married to a house carpenter
And a nice young man is he
When will you forsake your house carpenter?
And a-go along with a me
I will take you to where the grass grows green
On the banks of the River Dee
But will you have to maintain me a bound?
To keep me in slavery?
Well I have seven ships
They will soon be at land
And they at your command shall be
She took her two babes by the hand
And gave them kisses three
Sit still at home you darling little babes
Keep your father sweet company
Now she dressed herself in her very best
Like a high-born lady was she
She shivered and she shimmered and she proudly stepped
As they walked by the banks of the sea
Well she hadn't been gone but a short, short time
Until she wept for sore
I would give all the gold in this round world
Just to see my babes once more
Well if you had all the gold and the silver too
That ever did cross the sea
You never would be at land anymore
And your babes you will never more see
Well they hadn't been sailing but a short, short time
About two weeks, three or four
When the ship sprang a leak and they were doomed
And they were far away from the shore
I see bright hills of Heaven my dear
Where angels come and go
I see bright hills, that's Hell my dear
Where you and I must go
Oh I wish I was back to my house carpenter
I'm sure he would treat me well
But here I am in the raging sea
And my soul is bound for Hell

I've been listening to Pentangle lately... and it seems strange that the Sitar seemed to be considered a European folk instrument... after the 60's. I can't help but think this was all due to George Harrison and The Beatles. The Beatles also used a Harpsichord on Sgt. Pepper... and those were also used a lot afterwards. The Incredible String Band also used Sitar... but how many pop and rock bands used Sitar or Harpsichord before The Beatles?
A lot.
Search Wolfgang Dauner.
@@georgefromgreece4119 Wolfgang Dauner is a lot? And he was Pop and Rock? I never heard of him, so I looked him up and on Wiki it shows that he had one album before 1967. The Beatles were using Sitar by 1965 and Harpsichord on Sgt. Pepper by early 1967. Give us a link to his Sitar and Harpsichord music before '65 and '67... I'd like to hear it.
So many beautiful songs spoilt by Bert's terrible voice. Wish he had just stuck to playing his guitar , which he did so well.
He has a wonderful voice.. 😂
whaaaat?
Without his voice this song would almost be too perfect and risk lapsing into sterility and boredom. It's the contrast between Jaqui's crystaline control and his rough edges that raises the performance to real art.
@@cliffarroyo9554 There is a dialogue in this song after all
exactly@@cliffarroyo9554
Mesmerising, confirmation that music then was far far superior to anything we've got now. I'm so lucky to have seen and heard this the first time around (70 now).💜
Jacqui just has the most amazing voice.......
This is incredible
never ever gets old
❤️🎶🙏
legendary.
Interesting piece from a very different world. The sitar clashes with the overall style, but I suppose it was obligatory during the hippie era.
I think the Sitar fits in really well.
❤
@@ricko3kwell said and plain spoken.
"Obligatory during the hippie era". These were serious top class musicians exploring the boundaries of their craftmanship and foreign cultures, and not by any obligation. Your comment is irrelevant if not bad intended, cheers.
@@georgefromgreece4119 "exploring the boundaries of[...] foreign cultures, and not by any obligation". Oh come on. We can respect indian classical music whilst also acknowledging that almost every notable group in the sixties had a crack at incorporating the sitar into their music. Describing it as 'obligatory' is certainly not an irrelevant comment, as you suggest, nor was it a bad intended comment. Don't be so sensitive.
