I adore the way this is shot. A guitar purists dream. God bless you Bert, and your young friend.

Bert is like a Jedi master on this

A rare thank you to KZfaq for recommending this gem to me. My lifelong love for, and dependence on, the guitar was born in the mid-1970s thanks to my father's Bert Jansch Sampler LP. This clip should be preserved forever as culturally important to future aspiring guitarists.

One of my all time guitar hero’s. Me and my school pal used to go see him and John Renbourn at the Horseshoe Hotel at the end of Tottenham Court Road in the years ‘66- 67. Happy days! 😁

50 years with you Bert. Thank you Bert. Pentangle.

Bert Janch is a treasure . Among us older folks we know his beautiful virtuoso guitar playing and somewhere there is gentle kind spirit.

A good reminder of how good Bert Jansch was, he is really in the zone with blues run the game best I've heard him perform it.

Stor ære til Finn Kalvik. Dette er norsk musikkhistorie! Kalvik binder et veldig tradisjonelt birtisk musikalsk uttrykk til sine egne sanger, og oppnår respekt for det fra en av samtidens viktigste britiske folk artister - Bert Janch.. Godt gjort!

A very good folk guitarist and a gentleman to boot. Sorely missed.

When Bert plays "The Wheel" it's like some kind of sorcery is going on. He makes it look effortless. This is a wonderful time piece and a gift to any aspiring guitarist. Thank you Michael.

Bert was an incredible guitarist

Was the only death of a famous that made me cry. I startet to listen Bert / Pentagle whe I was 13 years old by a Progressive Rock DVD from my older sister.

so artfully filmed too.

so good, on so many levels. public broadcasting at its best.

Guitar work from Bert still amazes me....

In about 71 I swapped my bass for an acoustic, having cracked through into fingerpicking on a guitar that was lying around. When I was getting up to speed I was given the Bert sampler ( and the Snooks album he recommends ! ) . This stupendous document opens with Bert demonstrating beautifully that less is just as much, that guitar part says it all . I haven't listened to him since the 70s, but I'm glad to say his stuff sounds exactly the same - fingerpicking has moved on, but Bert is timeless ......

Oh oh, this is amazing. Such gentleness and tenderness, and connection with nature and spirit. This is a treasure. Bert's deep, rustic yet mellow baritone - or is it bass? - goes right to my heart. And Finn's singing and playing is pure folk, very pleasing indeed, and he is so warm and respectful of Bert, he seem to loosen Bert up, gets him smiling. Seems like a very lovely person. It's wonderful to hear Norwegian folk. Thank you Michael.

I love the opening scene as well as the music ...take me back to art college days ...Love Bert,s work always .

Captivating and wonderful. It's like we're sitting in with them, just hangin' out around the house....

The song by Finn Kalvik "Det Hemmelige Under" is a short poem by a Norwegian woman - Inger Hagerup. She was Finn's most loved poet and he gave tunes to many of her poems. She in return loved Finn for this - and the two had a close artistic collaboration. THE SECRET WONDER How strange it is to wake up an early, early morning before the hills are hill and the trees have become trees. The Secret Wonder that's also known as Springtime have not yet had time to put on her clothes. I glimpse of mirth in the air - that the heart is not able to grasp The fresh breath of something that will last an eternity. A silvery cheerful echo of an invisible laughter : Oh man, how little - how "nothing" you know ! DET HEMMELIGE UNDER Så rart det er å våkne en tidlig tidlig morgen før åsene er blitt åser og trærne er blitt trær. Det Hemmelige Under som også heter Våren har ennå ikke rukket å ta på sine klær. Et glimt av fryd I luften som hjertet ikke fatter - det sunne pust av noe som blir i evighet. En munter sølvblank gjenlyd fra en usynlig latter : Akk menneske - så lite - så ingenting du vet !

This is pure treasure. Thank-you for keeping it, finding it, sharing.

Perfect.

I saw Bert play a few times, and I am sincerely glad that I made the effort. A one off.

This made me pick up my guitar. I love the intimacy of this short film.

First time I'm hearing these sweet troubadours~ so talented!

Stunning :) Finn has a hint of Meic Stevens in his voice. Love it

It's nice to be there, from here on my settee. Feels like home.

even though i dont know norweigen i love hearing this music, much like jonas fjeld and other norweigen musicians. i love the music from odd nordstoga and ingeborg nordstrom

Wonderfull travel with our minds. Thanks Internet for this REAL travel in time.

For a certain strand of music lovers, this is undoubtedly the single greatest video on the internet.

Beautiful , so many thanks for uploading.

For the English speaking audience I have made an attempt to translate the song "Elegi" (Elegy) - just to give those who might wonder an idea of the lyrics. ELEGY Here comes the song that you have waited for so long. Here are the words that I want you to keep forever. Thanks for the loving caress you gave me. And for the time that you let me have you. The nights are long - candlelight and neon deceives me. The daylight awaits to give back what the darkness took from you. If you're dreaming and longing for what was. Have forgotten what I once told you ? I once had a wish to live safely protected in everything And the castle we built was beautiful - but then it became derelict. You explained everything by using simple words. The comfort you're searching are Mother Earth. ELEGI Her er sangen som du har ventet på lenge. Her er de ord jeg vil du for alltid skal gjemme. Takk for de kjærtegn du ga meg. Og for tiden du lot meg få ha deg. Natten er lang stearin og neon bedrar meg. Dagslyset venter og gir det som mørket tok fra deg. Hvis du drømmer og lengter tilbake Har du glemt hva jeg engang fortalte. Jeg hadde en drøm om å leve beskyttet i altet. Og slottet vi bygget var vakkert - men så forfalt det. Du forklarte det hele med enkle ord. Den trygghet du søker er Moder Jord.

This series called "Blanda Drops" (Mixed Sweets) was shown on the only Norwegian TV channel - "NRK" - at that time - on May 7th 1973. The two of them - Finn Kalvik and Bert Jansch - were touring together at the time. As you can see, they seem to be kindred spirits. Both are singer/songwriters rooted in traditional folk music. Bert Jansch was one of Finn's most influential idols at the time - and he got to learn him after a trip to England for tutorial lessons by him. Bert Jansch was 30 years old when this session was recorded. Finn came into public notice while frequently performing in the music club "Dolphin" in Oslo in the late 60's. The Dolphin Club was started in early 1966 by a graphic artist Ole Hauki aka "Dolphin" after returning to Norway and Oslo after a stay in the US. He brought the idea for a music club back with him and he managed the club for 5 years. The Dolphin Club started the Norwegian "ballade wave" and nearly all of those who got famous enough to being signed by recording companies first started here. The Club first started in "Vegeta Vertshus" restaurant (a vegetarian tavern) so the movement did not start out in a lugubrious cellar with wine and candles - but in a non-alcohol vegetarian café where the strongest you could get was a drink of carrot juice. It was a small place - so the venue was limited to only 70 people and in the beginning music evenings were held only on Saturdays. It soon grow so popular that it also opened on Wednesdays. In -68 they relocated to another place that could hold 300 audiences. It became inactive in 1970 - but by then it had given birth to several of talents - like Finn Kalvik - that would come to influence Norwegian music for the comming decades. Most of them are still in the music business. I believe there were only one other place in Oslo that was a bit similar to Dolphin : "Club 7."

The announcer uses both pronunciations of Bert's surname, first the usual one, then the one used by his family. I don't know any Norwegian so I can't tell, but it looks like this announcer did his homework much better than interviewers do today

Black Water Side: it was a nice tune that! No it wasn't. It was fucking AMAZING!

This is amazing 🔥☯️🔥

Thank you so much for adding this. Truly a "pleasure pleasing my mind". Wonderful

thats what i like about bert jansch, the older i get the more the shit slaps

TVGood who gives more importance to the music prestation than show.

Wow this is nice!! These keep popping up....LOVE IT!

Wow this is amazing !! Thanks for the upload !!

For the English speaking I have tried to translate the poem "Måken" (The Seagull) by Andre Bjerke that Finn has given a melody. The poem that speaks of the magic of being a grown up looking back on more innocent days gone by - is highly poetic language and it takes someone more skilful to serve this poem justice. I can only give a glimpse of what the lyrics is about - for those who are curious. THE SEAGULL Row, my child out to the bird reef - many seagulls did we find there Those that brings us as a gift dreams of the ocean. Whole day long we want to be were all the seagulls are. Row, my child before the day ends - out there where all the seagulls soares. See, our fable ship of longings is out there floating Under sail towards distant shores - to the adventures of Sinbad. Row, my child the lost kingdom - the ocean brings us back again. Follow The Flying Dutchman - the legends of the seas echoes through the cry of seagulls - a bird of Atlantis it is. Row, my child in blond days - under the Wheel of Fortune of the sun. The Seagull gives us the gift - the dream of the ocean. The Seagull is that beating of the wave that has transformed itself into a bird.

Norwegian tv was ahead of their time. Both Pentangle and Bert Jansch. Love the version of Blues Run The Game, though Bert plays it a bit slower then he used to.

The Squid And The Wale....movie soundtrack...good movie...my introduction to Bert Jansch

Finn Kalvik... I've never heard of him, but he has a face I swear I've seen before... I found this video (actually bits of it, I just found this full video) years ago and i still can't place him... just must have one of those faces...

Fabulous. Thank you

That's the same look Donovan gave Dylan after he handed him his acoustic guitar in Don't Look Back. Bert Jansch was the master !

Is that time really passed? No, the human spirit remains the same through the ages and will always find a way to manifest itself...There has to be other artists like these, walking the earth amongst us lesser mortals, even if unknown to most of us...

Beautiful, natural meeting of minds with zero pretension. I love observing how when Finn plays his tune it pans to Bert and he is watching Finn's fingers like a hawk. Clearly there is one master in this room and it's Bert. The duet 'Elegi' at 11:53 is great 🎸🎵🎶 Does anyone know what model guitar Bert is playing here?

Assisti chapado. Belas canções

Tusen takk.

Wonderful

Would love to see someone add subtitles for Kalvik's songs.

No offence to Finn Kalvik, but one can see here the vast difference between an inoffensive kind of 'folk' music of the time (which was no doubt entirely passé by 1973 - at least in Britain), and Jansch's incredible innovations that placed him far beyond that realm. Jansch is a complete gentleman here (as one would entirely expect), but the difference between the two (both technically and artistically) is absolutely stark. Indeed, the contrast between the two is a useful measure of just how removed Jansch was in relation to any popular conception of 'folk' or 'acoustic' music, and how he transcended the genre completely.

how nice

The blonde Finn Kalvik is also good musician and songwriter

rita ericsen is also incredible in english as well as norweigen. emmylou called her norways best country music greats especielly the dimming of the day with her brother. his emotion is special

I was 15- 16 at the time.🙂

How do you like Norway? I like the beer!

Anyone know the name of the tune that starts at 18:00 I think he calls it "the ballad of me". It sounds really familiar and the only memories I have of the tune are 1) My work playlist at an Italian restaurant with some varied music 2) A song called "What People Seek" by the Finnish band "Hay & Stone". 3) Something by Jonny Cash or Neil Diamond but I can't remember.

That moustache !

er det noen som har tabs til Finn Kalvik's Elegi?

I only just found out about this guy!

100%

What guitar (Martin?) is Bert playing here?

shoe lace undone

What song does Bert play at 16:00?

16:16 what is this sorcery?

Sounds like Jimmy Page ripped him off big time.

あ

How did led Zepplin get to steal this song?
