God how I miss this genius….im forever grateful I saw him live in Sussex University back in the 1970s ….talent doesn’t get better than this, still adore this man x
This man is now one of my total favorite musicians who ever lived. Found thanks to Transatlantic Sessions, did some digging, found his incredible everything.
Wow! This is peak John Martyn. Saw him live many times going back to 1970 and this equals the best I ever saw. Absolute bloody genius. (See also Nick Drake)
I am sad that musical genius ‘John Martyn’ died very young (at 60yrs). I love the sounds coming up from his guitar and his lyrics alongside beautiful vocals. John is still a massive loss but his beautiful songs, video’s plus guitar work and lyrics live on, which I’m thankful for. 😢
I am 95% confident John would have admitted to still being Nervous immediately before performing many larger Venues solo like here at the Audimax that seats 1674 then add knowing its being recorded live. The Audimax isnt a very cosy Venue being a lecture hall located on the University of Hamburg campus in Rotherbaum but was and remains a popular Music Venue and I remember seeing Robert Palmer, Rickie Lee Jones & Big Country perform there but missed this Martyn performance but not several others in the Fabriek & Markthalle that are better Music Venues and where I got to spend some time in his company thru a mutual friend. RIP and danke J.M.

I saw him on this tour, at the Uni of Essex. All the local hippies brought their children and nearly 1,000 people sat on the floor. Transcendent music.
Johnny too bad .-a true genius -love his music -who cares about E.S ? i am shure he is sitting at a bar in heaven with a pint- R.I.P John and thank you for your beautiful songs
Saw him many times back in the day, one specific time he was so drunk he just couldn’t do it. That was an awful night. But my overwhelming memories of him are those of wonderment.

i am glad that john was a person who stands in the shadow of many artists yesterday as well as today. you don't expect much when you see him like this and then you are surprised with a lot of depth.
i don't know if they are two different worlds. john didn't have a loop pedal. he played between the delays, which is really an art. with loop pedals you layer the individual parts on top of each other.
When a string breaks, his way of keeping the audience with him is incredible. He stays cool, and once the problem solved, he takes the people Into a superb version of Solid Air.

He gives absolutely everything when he plays/sings, nothing is held back 💯
Seriously. So little distance between the man and his art. A rare thing.
You know that feeling when you're totally "IN THE ZONE", John MArtyn is always in it, shows us all what it's like.
Well put!!

Love him, a true one off musical genius, and a whirlwind lifestyle to match.❤
What a virtuoso on the guitar... and on top of that his unique style of singing - amazing guy - thanks Rockpalast, especially Alan Bangs!

Thank you so much X
Thanks for the time stamps! 😊 Small Hour 40:15 >> Small Hours. The most beautiful song ever.
At the 9:23 mark we can clearly hear the "signature" guitar sound of U2's The Edge who nicked it from John Martyn 😁
I think Gilmour also took inspiration for 'Run Like Hell'. But I recall Brian May playing with the delay in a similar fashion before that
Mindblowing, mesmerizing performance!
Great Quality, great man
I saw him on this tour, at the Uni of Essex. All the local hippies brought their children and nearly 1,000 people sat on the floor. Transcendent music.
I was there ! Changed everything

Never seen this. Wonderful. Much appreciated for sharing.
As good a summary of this man's genius and sad demise as any other on RUclips. Thank you.

unexpected performance after his banter, lol, the true art of downplay. Being way more original and proficient than expected.
i am glad that john was a person who stands in the shadow of many artists yesterday as well as today. you don't expect much when you see him like this and then you are surprised with a lot of depth.
@@ThomasK931He was a man of Shadow and Light.
36:11 If you need a good sob.
❤️ love this till I die
Thanks, thats interesting....
That guitar sound parallels a little what Larry Carlton did on "Hejira"
Loved Hejira also one of my favorites
If you look at Ed Sheeran with a loop pedal - JM did it years before, I wonder if Mr Sheeran saw him and thought I can do this....
i don't know if they are two different worlds. john didn't have a loop pedal. he played between the delays, which is really an art. with loop pedals you layer the individual parts on top of each other.
Just wow, apologies i not very original @@ThomasK931
Sheeran copied his act wholesale from KT Tunstal
Jimi Hendrix the greatest? Don't think so
this was way before the edge in a tea cosy bought his shimmering zimmer frame to hide his lack of playing ability....
You mustn't let U2 upset you so
who the hell is iu??
The German audience has no sense of humor at all.
They're German
May no speak English..and to be fair he isn't very funny
@@stevenmurphy9225He 100% is

@@gillesserrigny6324 that's such a cool and classic moment
