Flawless rendition of a beautiful story put to beautiful music. Right hand working magic. Left hand only glides up the neck to finish it. Ralph is the master.
As the introduction implies, all of them were about to take part in a charity concert, so came as a package advertising the event. Ralph and Bert were old pals from way back (lived together in the 70s, and Bert's manager was Ralph's brother). You're right, neither Bert nor John add much of significance to what Ralph is playing. John noodles some minimal lead lines, and I'm not sure you can hear Bert at all (mosty just doubling what Ralph is playing). Still, you do get three guitar geniuses for the price of one...
Song seems even more relevant today than ever

Wow, Ralph McTell stuff is so hard to find. And, why the need for anyone else there playing?
