been listening to this genius for nearly 50 years - saw him many many times live. i once read somewhere that his concerts can be like religious experiences...so so true. totally and utterly mesmerizing.

He looked pissed yeah and he may well have been off his face but in spite of this he can coax the angels from heaven to send shivers up my spine got to love that man - he was a musical maverick in a world of his own and us ...,,.... just lookin on .... in awe

He was in his own musical world, nobody could conjure up that feeling that John portrays through music. Always been part of my musical life and luckily saw him at the jazz cafe in the late 90s. God bless you John .We are all just looking on 😊

I'm in love with this. Wish I had seen him live. I was introduced to 'Solid Air' in '94; I then bought 'Sunday's Child' around the same time. I once heard he was playing 'Lochgelly Centre' but he just wasn't my boyfriends cup of tea and I didn't want to go on my own. Years down the line , out of all the music I've listened to he was the only one that stuck to me emotionally (and the Cocteau Twins and other bits here and there) that I started watching him on You Tube and he is my deep favourite ....will order 'the man upstairs' on DVD soon so I can watch in awe and get a bit drunk and have a night in. That boyfriend, (he's now my husband) just leaves me to it when I put him on TV, although on a night out he's come in drunk and serenaded me with 'Gun Money' which was well entertaining.
