Thanks a lot man x
This takes me back to the late 60's when an old friend from England introduced me to his music, we fancied ourselves guitar players and loved this music. RIP John and thank you. Tony, if you're still out there I often think about you.
a very appreciative audience for the great man....modern boy bands might earn huge sums but they wouldn`t polish the shoes of the marvellous players like john renbourne bert jansch etc.
So true...so damn true, my friend 🔥
The first time I ever heard John Renbourn was in the early 70's. As a teen I was shopping in a candle shop (in the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles CA). The music that I was hearing over the store's stereo system was unlike anything I had ever heard before, and I ventured to ask the clerk what they were playing, fully expecting her to tell me that it was an anonymous programmed recording. However, to my delight she held up a cassette called "The Lady and the Unicorn," and that then started my love for John Renbourn's playing, awakening in me an appreciation for all acoustic style guitar voicing, and some sweet electric playing as well. That was well over 40 years ago, and I still remember the excitement of discovering a new (to me) music love, and I can still smell the fragrance of candles burning in the shop that day. RIP and thank you John Renbourn.
Terry Asher. I totally agree, and thank you for reminding me of The Lady and the Unicorn. I 'm going to go listen to it now!
Terri Asher. Oops sorry about that .I spelled your name wrong. Thanks again for your experience of John Renbourn. A lot of people I talk to just don't know about him. I try to explain it, and they just don't get it. I guess they are just going to stay into their commercial music experience, whatever that is at this point. :)
the power of music!
In 1970 I was an undergrad at UCSB. One of my fellow Zebes had a copy of Sir John Alot and when track 3 came around, Lady Goes To Church, I was mesmerized. I had never heard anything so moving. I've been hooked on Renbourn's music ever since.
This and the Bert Jansch one are great vids to have as a resource. Thanks for putting them up 👍
When I was a young man in the early 90s he played a small gig in Liverpool with Wizz Jones , most of my mates came along not into it, but were respectful. Couple asked about that gig recently saying they thought it was amazing. I love all music from rock blues alternative whatever, but my heart has always loved folk and players like Renbourn are pioneers! it will live on.
While writing this I had a flashback and John was at the bar, I was skint and I wanted to buy him a drink. he was at the bar and I just said sorry I can't buy you a drink. He just said save it for your own rainy days. AHA. He was an amazing player, such a precise clean gifted player
This man should have been playing for a crowd of thousands...his picking was impeccable - never have I heard anyone fingerstyle with such clean and clear precision...Bert was probably just as good but his playing was never as *clean* ...sad how such talent can go relatively unnoticed in the greater scheme of things while so many no talent "musicians" gain so much fame and wealth...some ironies in this life are just hard accept... maybe, possibly, it all evens out in the end...rip, John 🔥
John Renbourne, musician from another time of maidens & dragons, allowed to anoint our minds & spark our ears with magic in tune. Collaborator in crafting "Pentangles of Magic", with Bert Jansch & Jacqui McShee, amongst others. Magician of chords & fabricator of flight which allows the mind to join the Spirit & soar far past & above the present state of being on wings unseen. Thank you for making many of my hours seem like minutes & minutes seem endless in it's beauty. RIP you weaver of tunes as fine as angel's hair, & at the same time, strong enough to carry me away to those places you described in your meandering rhunes & tunes. You shall be missed. Thanks for the legacy you created to fill the void of your passing.
beautifully said.
+John Knottenbelt Jaqui McShee was the singer in Pentangle. Not Sandy Denny
thank you John. I regret getting "to know" this master so late, but I got there! what an amazing gift and your tribute said it better than I could
Apologies for that Samba C & thanks for the refreshment. I shall correct that fault. :)
Techwest Computer Resources. Many thanks for your response. It gives me great joy, to turn someone onto music they may not yet have heard & which in turn stimulates them to seek other similar sounds. Be well.
Renbourn was great. He had a style that took us back to the Renaissance period and the Celtic music style. But he was never pretentious about it, and always stayed in the moment with his sense of humor. I was lucky to see him play live in Ann Arbor, MI a few times. R.I.P John.
Totally right, Dave!!
I organized the only guitar workshop he ever led in Germany. Such a humorous and gentle gentleman!!
R.I.P. Belated respects to a real fine guitar player.
All I gotta say is, people talk about Jansch being underrated. How about this guy!?
Oh how I loved these fellas in the mid 70's. How Bert and John weaved those guitars together. No one was doing anything like this in those days with such intricacies. Saw Bert and Martin .....? (Someone help me out) in Aus in late 70's.....Bert was shaking and pale before he started playing, but once his fingers touched those strings everything was right with the world.......RIP John.
Thanks,John - you shared your life with us - we were so lucky.Time to rest now.See you later.
RIP John .....I am sure Bert is doing OK up there with you playing music with the angels
Sad news to hear of your passing John. Thankfully these recordings will bring us much comfort. You were not just a musical genius you were very knowledgeable about this genre of music and more importantly you had no big ego to spoil it, just a plain old decent guy who everyone liked and admired. Thankfully you leave us with this wonderful legacy.
... when heart fills with so much joy- close to tears. (Never heard him b4)
I saw him live in 2001 or so at a similar small venue, with 100 or so in the audience. During the intermission I talked with him briefly; he was gracious and gregarious and smelled a bit like whiskey.
dmcnare. I was lucky to see Renbourn live a few times. I could have gone up and shook his hand, I guess. Yeah, I knew he was into the alcohol to some extent, but I didn't know how much. Bert Jansch also had the alcohol issue going on, but apparently he addressed it. Oh well, we all have our personal issues. If Jaqui McShee would come along and sing a song to me personally I think life would be better for me.
John Renbourn, omg, i wore his vinyl out. His music has so much soul. Thank you, John.
Heard you passed away today :( rip you amazing musical angel.
I have loved this man's sheer genius and talent since his first solo album. What a guy!
a great guitarist.....thank you for your beautiful music, john.
Thanks for uploading this. Been getting into Renbourne recently, via Jansch. He had such a clean, precise style, without ending up clinical. Fantastic player.
What a talented musician! I found John Renbourn through my love of Jackson C. Frank. Really glad I did. :-)
Both great musicians. Roy Harper is another great English artist. He has a song about Jackson titled My Friend. Bert/John played on many of his earlier songs on Sophisticated Beggar as well! Peace!
listening to John renbourn and Bert jansch back in Pentangle was an awakening to a finger playing style that i still practice today . These were the masters and there's never been a better combination of two guitarist working together . pure brillance ..indeed .
One of the Old Masters. 'Angie' is bit rushed, but then he takes over & makes it his own. Pentangle live 1970 unforgettable.
The guitar John is playing here is his OM built by Ralph Bown of York.
It's got one hell of a sound, for sure.
Reflections 1&2 is a great piece of work and was used in an 80s BBC kids serial calmed tears of the sun...
An exceptional touch to our ears and senses!
Good God! His guitar playing is so incredible!
Absolutely...his picking was *impeccable* 🔥
You are so right, Even! So elegant, so smooth ...His approach is even higher als many classical guitarists have it.
thanks for uploading this gem !!!
John. Tú has sido para esta pobre navegante faro esencial en mis navegaciones. Siempre contigo y a buen puerto agradecida. Donde las verdes hierbas traslucen sobre los acantilados y el fulgor del mar
Have been a fan of Pentangle since the early 1980s, loved John's playing. Sadly, he died today. RIP John.
WoW! So nice to see this !!!!!
I Am Proud To Say That I Saw The Late Great 'JR' Several Times ! Loving This ! Cheers All
great musician him---i had the sampler album in about 1971 -----it took me back to times long gone----hes my silent witness before deaths solitude
Many thanks thebrianjh
I so agree with Chris...
Virtuoso. Still.
As well as individual guitar geniuses
He and Bert Jansch worked like a 12 string guitar
A big Donegal welcome how are you ! After Clannad stealing Pentangle's clothes back in the day. Fierce cute boys in Donegal :)
J. Renbourn. J'ai eu la prétention de vouloir jouer comme lui. Je suis même arrivé à jouer Lady nothinge's toye puffe à peu près correctement une ou deux fois peut-être grâce à mon prof de guitare, Pierre Marie Blaja. C'était bizarre parce que Pierre-Marie était très impliqué dans la musique occitane et nous partagions cette passion pour le picking, c'était presque en cachette pour lui…. Grâce à lui j'ai découvert Doc Watson, Chet Atkins, Stephan Grossman et Marcel Dadi bien sûr. Et puis j'ai remisé ma guitare dans sa boîte en 79 ou 80, parce que "ça n'avançait plus". John Renbourn, par contre, j'ai continué à l'écouter, toujours, en solitaire aussi parce que personne ne le connaissait vraiment autour de moi. Ce mélange de musique anglaise médiévale et de blues était plutôt incongru, voire presque inaudible (au sens d'illisible) ! Il vient de mourrir. J'en suis à la fois triste et pour tout vous dire presque soulagé ! Il n'est plus mon cauchemar, il vient de rentrer dans la légende. Dans ma mémoire. Enfin je veux vous dire ici que ma passion pour la musique ne s'est jamais éteinte, que la guitare reste une passion, une utopie magnifique. Rien de mieux pour rentrer dans le monde que la musique. C'est le plus beau des arts. Celui qui fait ce qu'il veut du temps, cet unique ennemi, le temps. La musique est le seul art à le maitriser, à le torde selon son bon vouloir. Rien n'est plus jouissif. Rien n'est plus beau.
Bien sur!
god bless john he made many of my days.
anyone can tell me what guitar is that? it looks like a 00 but who's the luthier?
thanks for sharing!
'Watch the stars' is lovely, but it's just not the same without Jacqui McShee's incredible voice. John plays it amazingly well though, and I learned the song only because of John playing it.
A joy to watch.When was it filmed?Cheers.
Damn, i was 4 months out from going haha
great! When was this?
Could someone tell me what that first piece he played is called? I love it!

Looking at the size of that room and the crowd and wondering why a PA is necessary. I wish it wasnt everyone's default mode these days. Imagine hearing John live in the raw.
Fortunately I don't have to. I was able to see him at american University in 1966 with Bert Jansch. One of my best memories
Sistema Scotland. Did you ever see him perform live? And I guess you are from Scotland, but I don't know. I read that Renbourn lived in Scotland, off the coast, that he talked about himself. He toured and I saw him in the USA, in Ann Arbor, Michigan 3 times. What do you mean by hearing him live in the raw? Naked???
7:56
sandy denny
pace foester
name of first song?
'Judy', followed by 'Anji', written by Renbourn and Davey Graham respectively.
John was a great guitar player but this is too fast and too scrappy That's how he plays these days.
Nothing personal , Alan .....but that's just bollox
Alan Brown. Well Renbourn is gone now. I would be nice to see him fast and scrappy now.
