John was so much more than just a folky singer songwriter...who of his his peers were doing stuff like this. Thanks for the upload, not seen it before...
This is outstanding. Deeply and filthily psychedelic, before grunge was dreamt of. I may even have commented on this before - I keep coming back to it. RIP John - you made the world a better place.
Thanks to a mate of mine who was far more knowledgeable than me and had better taste in music I was lucky enough to see John Martyn live at Wollongong Uni in Australia way back in the late '70's. The story I heard at the time was that John had punched Bert Jansch on their flight to Australia or maybe Bert punched John it was a long time ago. All I remember is the absolute magic of John Martyn - One Man - One Guitar - Many Pedals - Many Effects - One World. A night that I will never forget. Such a privilege to be in the presence of this beautiful man - this genius albeit a very human and flawed genius. This is the song and this is the version that I hope they will play at my funeral when my day comes.
