This brings tears to my eyes for the timeless and profound music and the great loss of Nick Drake. And thanks to Joe Boyd for being so open, generous and incredibly articulate about his experiences. If only Nick Drake could know his incalculable impact on the world.
Joe Boyds precise articulation really struck a chord ,it was warm intimate and from the heart just like the prodigy that left us way too soon .
I love Joe, love his work and contribution to music, just bought his book… But the woman next to him is absolutely radiant.
I hope Joe doesn't get tired of talking about Nick... I've seen so many interviews but I never get tired of seeing them
56:00 Wow the pain in Joe Boyd's eyes. What a good man
what a moment...
thank you for posting this lovely event. I live not that far from Joe and have bumped into him in cafes and shops and had a few words, he is always friendly.
I saw him quite recently too,he was dining at the table next to mine in a restarant in Maida Vale.....I really wanted to talk to him but didn`t want to interrupt his meal.
Love love and grateful, big fan of his music since early 70’s until today.
Thank you Joe for that confidance on him.
Having recently read White Bicycles ....... how lovely to see and hear Joe Boyd speak :- )
Wonderful interview for a great album. Thanks for posting these!
Very nice. Always enjoy listening to Joe Boyd talk about Nick Drake. And such a lovely host too.
More food for the snow ball that is my Nick Drake obsession...
Wonderful. The amount of knowledge freely expressed in this video is a treat. I read white bicycles aged 20 (15 years ago) and can't recommend it enough. Stuff the pundits, Nick was ahead of his time, and no reviewer can hope to understand the future, or they'd be an artist. Let's face it.
The comment of the resemblance of Drake´s music and Joao Gilberto is spot on.
absolutely
Wonderful observation
Listen to, Poor Mom, by Molly Drake and you can hear were he got his melancholy sound and lyrics from xxx
This is good ASMR and also tasty nick drake / British folk music content… I think I have struck gold 😅😅😅
I can recommend Joe Boyd’s book. White Bicycles. Without him we would likely never have heard Nick Drake
Danny Thompson's comment on playing on River Man is priceless, it was in 5/4. some of the string players from the LSO were there, the lead fiddle player was Robert Culp's dad. Danny looked at the chart and said to the conductor you don't want me to play this do ya? Oh, well play what you like then. I'll be serving the song, not just playing. Alright, let Danny do his own thing. Afterwards, Culp said to him, if I had you in the LSO, I wouldn't need the other seven.
Can someone explain the 5/4 I'm not a musician, is it weird?
@@PlateletRichGel It’s not common. We're used to songs in 3/4, 2/4, or 4/4. It might sound a bit offbeat or unusual because there’s one extra beat compared to 4/4. That makes it more complex.
such a cool interview thanks a lot !!
Highlights are 0:00 into 4:00. 18 mins in and 30:00 in about the process. Boyd is a lucky dog and has an ear for talent. We are still out there Mr. BOYD. COME FIND US. Backlash is coming 2018.
Joe Boyd, respect.
Wonderful! thank you so much for posting x
Masterclass.
Joe Boyd … what a lovely fella.
The best
Wow that was amazing!! Thank you for that great insight 😊
I appreciate having this conversation with Joe Boyd as he reveals quite a lot about his dealings with Nick Drake. I would like to know the location of this event and who the interviewer is. That's information most people would be curious about.
From the web: "Renowned producer Joe Boyd will discuss two of the classic folk-rock albums he produced in the Island catalogue when the Classic Album Sundays listening series takes place for a third year at Camp Bestival at the end of July (2014).
The festival is being held at Lulworth Castle from July 31-August 3, and the listening event, presented by global speaker and headphone manufacturer Klipsch Audio, will feature star guest Boyd and Classic Album Sundays founder Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy discussing Fairport Convention’s ‘Liege & Lief’ and Nick Drake’s ‘Five Leaves Left,’ both 45 years old this year. "
@@FeatnikSF OK, thanks for that detail.
Some good soul could subtitle this video? My English is advanced but i lost some words, and as i love Drake, i dont want to lose any detail. Very interesting his comparison with Joao Gilberto, a great musician from my country, Brazil.
Your name reminds me of a great French writer
Wow...very cool...he'd be so happy to know that so many people now care about his music 🎶🎵🎶
Nick was only 19 in that specific skin suit. He was an old soul.
thats funny cause i was introduced to nick drake by a girl after about three days of meeting her, she and he blew my mind!
Lovely. Thanks.
I was introduced to Nick Drake's music by an ex girl friend. It's funny to hear that's a common thing.
It's amazing how many people took part in creating this album and caring about getting it all right. For a new artist.
I don't think it will ever happen again. After all this it sold 2000 copies.
AI anyone?
For anyone interested. I've asked Tanworth in Arden Parish Council to consider erecting a statue to him in his home village. It will be discussed by TiAPC on 19 Sept 24.
Out of courtesy, I tried to contact Gabrielle, via her agent for her view, but have not received a reply.
It doesn't say where this lecture took place. What church is that?
It's posted above under reply section
That was great
What a guy
It’s a great pity Nick got no recognition at all.The albums he made he couldn’t give them away in them times.This seems far to Late Now.
52 minutes , amazing that people actually ask Joe this....😹,
Big Star records didn't sell too well when they first came out also, mainly due to poor PR, poor management, poor promotion, and lack of communication between the labels and
the band, or management. With Nick it seems more like Island didn't have any idea how to promote him, although, if that's the case, what about people like Bert Jansch, Sandy Denny,
or Anne Briggs? None of whom really had high hopes for the Top 40 charts, I hate to tell everyone. If Nick had been putting out records in the later 80s or 1990s, with the college
radio boom, and stations like WFUV in NYC, he would have had a ready audience, really. On the other hand, it's always been hard to sell folk and folk rock music, and in America,
it's 10000x harder. That hasn't even changed. Anyway, it wasn't Joe Boyd's job to go sell or promote Nick's albums, it was Island. Of course, the other issue was that Nick
wasn't able to go out and tour and do interviews, etc. That was a major issue for the record co.

Great upload, although I do disagree with some of the early opinions from the book reading at the start.
John Renbourn was a much better, more technically gifted player than Nick Drake, and played in just as many alternate tunings, with even more complexity than Nick did.
I like Nick Drake, and love learning his songs. They are not on the same level as John Renbourn though.
I'm like you. I was very fan of the british folk. Especially Pentangle. John Renbourn and Bert Jansh then Stefan Grossman. And the great solo career of John Renbourn. He had an incredible guitar technic. I liked him and his medieval world. But no John Renbourn song touched me like so many Nick Drake did.
Since Nick Drake was so perfect in his playing why would anyone want to bury it behind strings?
Unless you don't think the strings are burying it? Listen to the Pink Moon album if all you want is the guitar.
@@sportsmediaamerica Pink Moon is basically all I listen to, love hearing Nick's guitar playing. I enjoy the heck out of River Man on Five Leaves Left. Oh yeah, the Cello Song is pretty compelling, amazing really. I appreciate everything he did but don't listen to everything regularly, like I do Pink Moon.
Well, as Joe mentions herein, Nick was up for string arrangements and other instrumentation on the first two albums. Otherwise those albums would have just been
like early Dylan or Joan Baez records, all acoustic, which is fine, but they were all aiming for something a little more ambitious with the first two Drake LPs. They might
have gone a bit overboard in some cases on those albums. Had Nick lived longer he might've banged out more albums like Pink Moon, or albums with more sparse
arrangements and a minimum of filigree, such as some of the Fairport albums or whatever. They were aiming for a gothic/baroque folk rock atmosphere on the
first two albums, and to come up with something that didn't sound like any other "folk" album, whatsoever. Nick wanted Pink Moon to be totally unadorned, minus some
piano, etc., but I don't think he still had any illusions that it would sell any better than the first two, given how drastically spare and grim Pink Moon, predominately, is. At least
on Pink Moon and a lot of the outtake songs, home tapes, and Time of No Reply tracks, you can hear Nick in a little more unadorned fashion.
@@thiscorrosion900 Fair enough. Pink Moon didn’t sell either.
Vincent Van Gogh suffered a similar fate as Nick.
I remember reading in Nick’s biography that he resented, after the fact, all the strings and horns on his first two albums, hence Pink Moon, but as you explained it wouldn’t have mattered. A genius like Nick was destined to the plight of genius.
@@jeffrey3498 Well, maybe. The thing is, Nick wasn't in a position to really go out and tour, do constant press, and play the music biz game, and things only got worse by the time of Pink Moon or beforehand, with him, so, that has to be taken into account. I was reading up a lot a few years ago on Karen Dalton, whose music I didn't even know if until the later 90s or so, she was very similar, honestly, and she had enormous personal problems let's face it, drug issues, etc. which derailed her career later on. And, her music was not precisely radio-friendly either.
Shame no listening of the system
joe had two geinus that slipped away in thare own way nick and syd
