know what you mean Bert had a unique way of playing & singing which strikes straight to your heart & soul, has the same effect on me as you, will be much loved & missed, ''play in peace''.

You just cant fake that stuff! Cheers.

ditto

Me too....and I doubt this is due to my lost and/or misspent youth. Watched the current Russian Gypsy group Pelegyea and noted its sightly more ""rock" incarnation of Pentangle. I'm no musician so go figure. My point is if the music is good it never quite goes away.

So sad all these guitarists who died in the youth of their old age : Bert Jansh, John Renbourn, Ralph McTell, John Martyn.

I swear, back in the early 1980's, that Yamaha had 12 strings! But then, if you have 20 fingers, I guess it's not a big deal?

xxx lovely story

Wow I’d love to chat with you!

What great memories you described about being friends with these guys. I too am totally addicted to British and Scottish folk music.

And glad I met you,🥰

Who was sad - you or Bert? He inspired many, many people. He wasn't worried about his 'fame', he didn't need to. He walked tall, quite rightly commanded deep respect wherever he went. Bert & Pentangle blew the doors off the plop music, er, I mean pop music scene of the day, made a huge contribution. Remember flower power? Carnaby Street? In the late 60s?? Ford Anglias? LSE sit-ins? Afghan black & Afghan coats? LSD? And I walked down Sunny Goodge Street with the only women I have ever truly loved in my life! Thanks Bert.

tdbsnr You must have been my next door neighbour!

@@tdbsnr Wonderfully said. Thanks! Tio Mitchito

It is. I think this is probably the best footage of Bert I've seen. The BBC sucks most of the time, but they've had their moments.

Was Jimmy Page at this 60th birthday concert?...I bet he's watching from backstage

Mon ami, je te félicite pour ton commentaire qui m'apparaît important sachant pertinemment que les idiots sur cette page n'ont pas conscience de ces facilités mises à notre disposition qui revêtent un aspect d'émerveillement qu'il ne faut pas oublier.

The other YewTubers art alle used tae these facilities an' art nae longer able tae marvel at 'hem.

I want this,omg what a treasure I've found 😍

Definitely...things happen when they're supposed to - if you'd heard it at another time, it may not have taken hold of you the way it did just now...I found him a few years ago and I'm glad I did...as a guitarist, I was amazed I'd never heard his name mentioned at any point... so much good music 🎶

I saw him play with Pentangle the last time before his death

@@sjkyte630 Very cool. Where was that? Was it at a festival?

Catch up Gui. There is so much good stuff there. I had the good fortune of seeing Bert at the first gig he played in London. Started to follow him and we became friends. He has been my musical inspiration for many years. RIP Bert.

Now Jimmy Page is in his 70s and he too was suffering from arthritis

I’ve never really listened to Ralph McTell until this. What a fantastic voice he had

I was …never stopped!

michathielen1 so fortunate

James Faulder Yeha - where would we be if not for the BBC ? So much would have been lost - so many beautiful moments uncaptured. We are indeed lucky :)

I think he must have changed his youtube name after I wrote that. not important really - we're only here for the jansch :)

WHAT AN ALBUM 👌

@mark totton the ebb and the flow

I was thinking about Nick as well. Thanks for sharing.

A lot of artists are influenced by Bert!

Video time!!! I would love to see you play it.

Me too (as they say)

It's a very hard song to stop playing once you start. The rhythm is addictive when you get inside it. Capo 3 for me

Love your summary/commentary! And I love playing it, no matter the spelling ;-)

yeah except Graham called it Angi/Anji, Jansch called it Angie.

Johnny and Bernard are two of the most skilful, original and sensitive guitarists to come post punk so it's no surprise they respect and do justice to a master like Bert. You wouldn't find Noel Gallagher holding his own like that!

@@Kingrizla-fm2rr tha emotional presence Noel can express with His playing might have flowed with Bert ...

Running from home making dreams of my own

I'm STILL trying to master those two pieces! Love 'em.

Last time I saw Bert he was sprawled on the floor in the toilets of the Red Lion pub; he still played before and after though. All acoustic in those days of course - no mikes, no stage, packed out and you could hear a pin drop. How I wish/hope those settings and atmospheres could/will return. We do sometimes get them here in Ireland.

@@jamesdonalfaulkner funnily enough, I bumped into in a small club in demark street. when i was in the loo, just a few mins later he was on the stage, when i say stage it was less than a 12 inches tall

@@briandunn2807 Those were the days, my friend...

Knowing nothing of Johnny Marr's recorded music or that of The Smiths (I went to high school with some serious Smiths appreciators and devotees, almost cult-like in their devotions and yet their tastes grew on other types of muses and music as we grew). This BBC filmed event of Jansch's 60th B-Day with Marr so delicately slipping to sit in on electric has me agreeing wholeheartedly with you @AnthonyMonaghan. Marr and Jansch shoulda worked together while Bert was still physically up to it. Not for marketing or cashing in on rock bona fides, simply cuz they seem to have such a casual, comfortable listening zone they are in when playing with each other and others. Oh for those folk listening and inter-playing "sit-in" basket house rooms and cafes and after gigs and roadhouse drinks the quiet apartment floors for hushed light pickin' and strummin' of whatever was in the air. It took Jacqui McShee her first song and tentative harmony onstage to then ease into the zone and hearing Jansch so delicately enlarge his own guitar arrangement comfort zone improvising into McShee to where she actually took to scatting through the "Train" song is poetry in motion. A way of recalling Thom Gunn performing his motorcycle pomes like "On the Move" from his early book of pomes Sense of Movement and after moving from the UK to No Cal from his communal house-hold life around San Francisco and Berkeley-Oakland East Bay coastal hills through biker Contra Costa County of the Sacramento River valleys and more rural North Bay Area Sierra to the Sea foothills winding roads.

O my heart ❤

That song still makes me cry again and again! The saddest song I have ever heard!

Thank you, Thank you. This song has helped me through some of the hardest times of my life. I am glad somebody else sees the incredible genius of these 2 playing alongside each other.
