What a gift for a lifetime these people have been for so many of us for all of these decades and years. Peace be yours.
This music is a blessing for the heart soul and ears. They are all "just" wonderful musicians playing and singing music. No strutting. For me Danny Thompson is the epitome of a musician totally engrossed in his music making. You can see he is totally wrapped up in his playing and gets - and gives - so much pleasure from it. And Jacqui McShee's pristine mellifluous vocals! They - especially Bert Jansch - take so much from the blues but they never try to make out they are playing American blues. This is THEIR music, with all their British (and other) folk baggage. Just wonderful! Alweays a balm for the soul.
Thanks for the perceptive distinction regarding their interaction with "the blues". I've always felt the best of the wonderful British Invasion stuff was an eclectic fusion of blues, jazz, newly-nascent rock and all blended with/played through the centuries-old musical traditions of the Isles.
And culture shared this way always results in new creation, marvels and wonders.
One of the best of the BBC in Concert series. Pentangle gave a perfect performance.
I could watch and listen to Danny play the upright bass for hours on end.. what a musician! 💯😍
Not only Pentangle at their prime, but also BBC at their prime; excellent sound & visual presentation even by todays standards. 👌
They don't do Band's like this any more. Five musicians at the Top Of Their Game.
superb all of the musicians. All equals. Genre bending for its time, delightful
The bassist works harder than anyone who came b4 him and after. Im just blown away like WOAH! Im inspired by everyone in this band they are masters of their craft. Thank you for your music
1971 Was A Splendid Year...Splendid Memories...
Some of my favorite songs from pentangle were played, truly magnificent concert! It must’ve been quite a feeling listening them live! Amazing!
Doesn't get better than this! Thank you for uploading it.
Bert Jansch. What a player saw him in LA at McCabes music in the late 70s. Amazing
Why can't there be a concerted effort to release a lot of this live TV footage to home video? Is it (presumably) a rights issue? Both the audio and video of much of the period Pentangle TV performances is very high quality, and the performances are all uniformly excellent. It's wonderful to have it available on UA-cam, but surely it would be a fantastic to offer a high end home video release for fans? A comprehensive BluRay release would be wonderful (I daren't hope for a 4k release, given the cost involved).
Those types of releases have really slowed down in the last few years. Same as you, I love that high quality footage of Pentangle and others is available freely on UA-cam but I'd love the opportunity to own it and give proper money to the band
I have some of these tracks on a budget folk rock dvd.Would love have all of this on hard copy.
Because corporations buy up copyrights and licensing and publishing specifically to suppress all the good and often superior culture of the past and present so they can, in theory, sell you their competitive material. You see this with popular "properties" all the time, especially with all this remake nonsense. Also, remaking things is just to play to the law as well, if you put one out recently its more yours, if they haven't it's less theirs, you currently have a market in that region in that medium? You can sue them.
This is one of the ways that these things are manipulated, theres way more, they learned this one from navigating artists estates wishes with their own dealings.
Copyright was intended to drive innovation, but has historically mostly been used to suppress and restrict culture. Locking entire expressions in amber for eternity. There can be no folk music or blues under this nonsense. On the whole, It mainly gets publishing companies paid, not Artists. It's mostly a tool for crony capitalists to police their competitors so they don't *HAVE TO* innovate.
Remember, if your favorite artist "takes down" your video, it wasn't Prince sitting at a lap top, obviously. It was a publishing company protecting the maximizing of profits they did not earn but bought from another publishing company who also did not make it but bought it from another publishing company.
It used to revert to public domain 80 years after the creators death, think about how they've completed twisted and manipulated the intention to do the exact opposite and they point to the peanuts they give some dumb band on tv like they didn't recoup every penny they put unto 90% of the acts.
That's why. Because on youtube people "just do it."
Because the entity that owns this probably wants to sell yousome other crap they think is similar. Because they can't get the rights together in a way that would profit only them and profit them greatly or because they think it won't sell quite enough so they'd rather suppress it and sell you whatever Jimi Hendrix and the doors etc stuff they already are putting out... it is definitely for a no good reason every time. Even when they think it's not because in their mind this is normal. It's like in retail, even if my store could sell the item, if it's not Ata certain percentage mark up,even by one penny, they pass. It's crippling thinking to say if you do not make exactly 66% on this from cost that it's loosing money to offer it, but these types of details are all that matters for those who make these decisions, ultimately.
Copyright needs to be reformed to reflect this world's needs or at least to its original language, which was at least within reason and not so easy to manipulate.
Everything you hate is happening because of this, don't believe it when they make some guy say its his money we are fucking with, it dosen't have to effect artists royalties at all, the only reason it's this way now is their choices throughout this transition. It doesn't have to hurt anyone. There are (real, legitimate, not flighty) options. Even after they fucked ot all up trying to make even more money.
home video? 😄
Once upon a time, a jazz band from the 13th century stepped into Dr. Who's phone booth and stepped out into 1971 looking to make a living by selling their artistic creativity.
AKA “let’s mix jazz and folk and rock together and play some”
Perfectly described. So love them here in the States from 1968 straight through to now❤!
Time travel is awesome 😎...
Me in Germany since 1977, when I discovered them in the age of 15! And nobody could push them away from this Place! ❤️
No kidding!! 😮
+1 For a Bluray release boxset of this and all Pentangle filmed live performances . The band live are so extraordinary they deserve to be watched in the highest possible quality + extras (the German documentary of the band on the road, for example). Whatever the cost, I would pay and I'm sure many others would, too.
Lawyers?
I bought the great LP album of Pentangle, "Basket of Life", and always loved the female voice and the changing rythms of their songs 🎉
@robertoponce8077 I also have that vinyl album but mine is titled "Basket of Light." You might have a rare version with that unique title. Consider selling it to a collector of rare records and reap some big bucks.
Fantastic concert. I can't wait to buy this on DVD. ✌😊👍 Peace to you all and spread the love.
What a good band, their albums are brilliant
well, that was great. i was lucky to have seen them in May of 1970 at the college in Washington State i was attending my freshman year. totally magic, became a lifelong fan, and try and turn folks onto them whenever i can. I met Danny Thompson in the 1990's when he was playing & touring with Loreena McKennitt, and told him about seeing them in 1970. thanks for posting this!
One of the best live performance of this extraordinary group. Hope Mr. Terry Cox could come in Italy, so I could have his autograph, having those of the rest of the group. Greetings from Pescara (Italy) to all the people who love real music 🍀🎶🤗
I think Cox lives in Menorca now!
@@evansmith3589 I think you're right Sir, thank you 🍀🎶🤗
For luck you have hat Angelo Branduardi, he gives me a lot, when no Pentangling was in reach ... 🤗🙏😄
I was 7 years old in 71 and the youngest of seven. My older siblings were of this caliber and so I got a precocious cultural upbringing into this musical zeitgeist. Pentangle is in my blood. 🩸
I hadn't even heard of them. Now I heard them. Good sound quality.
Awesome singers, awesome band, awesome presentation!
All five of them are spectacularly good, but in this performance, Jacqui McShee sits in the center and radiates endless power from what seems a place of crystalline tranquility.
Outstanding artists at work and play!
Wonderful stuff! ❤
She's Lovely And An Absolutely Splendid Vocalist...🩵💙🩶🔥🔥🔥
❤❤❤
Just realising how amazing Pentangle are
*fantastic*
Ps back in the day their LPs were the test for $1,000 speakers. I was lucky enough to witness such a test - the purchaser in 1970s miami did not expect anyone in the store to know the music. You could hear the pads of the fingers on the instrument.
Set List:
00:00 Train Song
04:22 Hunting Song "a 13th century rock and roll song"
11:42 Light Flight
15:12 Blues In Time
19:54 House Carpenter
26:00 I've Got A Feeling
Bert sets a riddle about the last song - I think it is inspired by Miles Davis "All Blues" from Kind Of Blue: ua-cam.com/video/-488UORrfJ0/v-deo.html
Thanks! I was wondering if I'd have to do that.
This is just fantastic!❤
Thanks 🙏
Excellent concert 😎🙏🕉️☮️🎶
My Mother would listen to Pentangle when I was a small child, wonderful memories!
It was me who had turned on thy muther tae Pentangle sweet muzick
I want to go back to these people, those women, and those times.
This is just glorious.
This is one of the coolest bands ever.
It's like magic.
I love em. Only 50 years too late mind.
In my humblest... this is the finest collection of musicians to get a band together. ❤
Dang hippies, sitting around in their hippie clothes...kicking ass.
Wonderful British musical magic by five young talented people who could take advantage of that unfettered freedom to express themselves as they saw it fit that could be enjoyed in those years in that place. All of it being slowly strangled to death by a decaying society bent on cultural suicide for unknown reasons.
Wonderful 💙
Actual magic ✨
In their prime. What a band.
Jacqui McShee is perfection in womanhood.
I'd say they were ahead of their time but we haven't got there yet.
My high school friend's sister told me about The Pentangle after she saw them around this time. Thanks Jan.
Love her!
Wow ... the time machine is working, thank you for this gem of video !
I'm here for some 13th century rock'n'roll
Really superb quality, and -- after all these years -- I marveled at the sound upon hearing "Basket of Light" Album in Summer of '70. This, added to "Set of Six" from '72, comprise a real treasure.
I'm sure I must have watched this when originally broadcast. I was a bit young, but liked it all the same. They were a brilliant band.
That folk-rock era: ie late '70 to around early '72, should have lasted a lot longer IMO.
All over too soon, but great while it lasted.
I remember that concert when it was first shown. It was from the same year I left school and I was starting to broaden my musical tastes. I always thought these were an excellent band. As I recall the track Night Flight was used as the theme tune to a BBC drama called Take Three Girls. The program wasn't really my cup of tea but the theme music was my introduction to Pentangle.
So good
Ms. McShee was versatile, as are they all!
I love this channel and now we have the whole show. So come on Cherry Red. Yo' ve given us three great Pentangle albums. Now it's time for the BBC and the WDR material on blue ray, just as you did with Jack Bruce. And btw this is a fantastic version of Hunting Song, and as I said before Jacqui in her prime at 26 is very, very special. Just magic!!! ❤❤❤.

Legends.
I’m going to die on the hill where it says PJ Harvey’s shame’ was based on this ❤
Ol’ Berty looks like he just stepped out of a wind tunnel lol
God that takes me back. 😊
Sixes and sevens, I think I've gone to heaven
ジャッキー･マクシー健在で何よりです。
これからも美しい歌声を聴かせて下さい。

Absolutely magical.....
They really explore the space. I can't help but think a cowbell would accentuate some of the songs.
Glad to see this was saved. When did the BBC stop the practice of taping over content?
🌹🎼♥️
Ciggie break....so seventies 😂🌎💚🌍
analogue chill-out music
Bert Jansch and John Renbourn also had some great albums separate from Pentangle. Jacqui McShee was a perfect vocalist for this genre. I'm still in love with her😊
I gotta feeling ---Sublime
I was wondering what Jacqui was doing musically before joining Pentangle? Was she singing as a solo folk singer ot apart of a duo?
I haven't been able to find any video or any footage of Jacqui singing somewhere before Pentangle. She has a remarkable voice and I would be interested to see anything where she sang in her earliest days in the 1960's.
I have a misty recollection of something I came across a few months ago on this. I believe it may have been an interview with Bert Jansch here on yt. I won't elaborate as my memory of what was said is too hazy. But it was about her prior to the forming of Pentangle.

Hi, If you come across it, please let me know. Thanks 😊
Tighter than two coats of paint.
Wonderful!!!
Many BBC in Concerts have not seen the light of day since they were first aired. Have they wiped them or lost. Strange that some are available but many are not.
Wiping was rife to early 70s as tape was expensive
I missed a lot of great bands, just slightly too young and impecunious, but I'm glad to say that I saw the big three bands of folk fusion at the height of their powers-Steeleye, Fairport and Pentangle.
Sung in her natural singing voice in all its glory ! Not like nowadays where almost everything is sung in a fake , imitation US accent ? Sing the songs in your native tongues ...they will sound so much more authentic and original !
There is no such thing as "a......US accent".
Can't really blame em for lovin that U.S. blues/rock sound, can you???
@@deirdre108There is a stock mid Atlantic singing accent though. It is favoured by the majority of UK and Australian bands for example.
@@pauls7803Yes, there is that and it was used in American films for decades. What I objected to was that there was an “American” accent-a one size fits all accent.
@@deirdre108Not sure what you mean by that. I rarely hear an identifable UK singing accent. The delivery is generic, irrespective of the region or even the country in the case of Australia. They all sound the same. The Proclaimers are a rare exception for example. Folk singers are the exception here.
Amazing awesome
The youngest would be in their mid seventies by now
Eng fantastesch Musek, déi, obschonn mat enger onbestreidecher Religiositéit duerchgesat ass, vun enger Persoun ganz wäit vun transzendentalen a reliéise Raimlechkeete geschmaacht a appréciéiert ka ginn. D'Klangarchitektur ass hei virun allem eng Therapie fir d'Sënner 🤗
I just saw some teenage "rap musicians" play this material....No, I'm kidding. They said The Pentangle was "underrated".
train ...brilliant
DITTO :SONGS OF LENARD COHEN LP AND SEE LIVE FILM OF "IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY",ESPECIALLY HOT SUMMER NITES AND WHITE BIRD. SEE DIFFERENT YEARS CONCERTS.
The prices at that Merchshop are terrible! 😅
Wow. This was great. They have a nice sound. Very Irish folk sound. Keep it up. 🤘🃏🇺🇸🎸🥃🍀🍺👁️👁️
saw them at Fillmore east probably opening for Tull or the Who--seems some of us boomers were possibly nicer back then and maybe less dumb?
Not a comb in sight😂
☝️😎
Wonder why bass playng so uncomfortably high notes. ?? When it could be done much lower ? Hmm can’t explain it
Leave your preconceived notions "at the door" and listen again
How come Jacqui has to sit in an uncomfortable high chair while the guitarists have nice comfy chairs?
Singing while slouched is not great I believe.
I wonder the cigar smoker ? Alive still ?? Or any of them ? Hmm
John Renbourn and Bert Jansch alas have been gone a long time now, but Jacqui McShea and Danny Thompson are still alive and I believe performing. Don't know about the drummer.
The smoking clearly didn't increase his life span lol!!
She’s dynamite vocal wow .. but reminds me of Olive ? Popoyes. Wife ?? Haa. Sorry
She’s beautiful ❤
This is during the time that Ted Bundy was peeping and planning attacks on women
It was a very creative time for music, never mind Ted
Your strange get help
This is what u get when squares try to make music and oh let's make it profound.
NOT
Sadly you provide no playlist of anything better. This leads me to believe that you are wrong.
Better without showing her face.
So are your comments!!
What ya problem ? She not ugly
How rude
