John's bass notes give me LIFE

[@bustedfender]

Squeezy dub.

[@seanmcginnis7865]

it's incredible. it shouldn't be possible but he makes it look so easy.

[@paulcaswell2813]

@@seanmcginnis7865 Cutting, Spiers, Anahata: after that there's no-one who comes close.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

seeing these two at Sidmouth a few years ago was one of the best live gigs ever - my partner who has seen the likes of The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and others live - said it was the best gig he'd been to - high praise indeed!!!!!

[@TheFishheads123]

Thank you Spiers and Boden. This is so uplifting ,,Then and now.

[@Bunnahabhain1982]

That's why you use a proper, elevated stage. The bass beats from the foot stamping really come through!

[@niure86]

Does he use a bass pedal on the melodeon? Phat bass :D

[@tablaradiofromindia1818]

Nice

[@tchackdaw]

Damn didn't know you could do vibrato on the melodeon

[@bocklinskitten4335]

the voice is beautiful, the sound is like everywhere in europe

[@yohanna24091992]

[@jamesheath4845]

is there a bass in the background? or is that the bass end of the box?

[@samuelfitzgerald2025]

James Heath i think it is just the 'box - cool though

[@jamesheath4845]

very deep rumbly bass. maybe it's helikon reeds. very cool indeed

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

you can also hear Jon Boden's stomp box, especially prominent on Haul Away; he was the first person to use one when performing traditional music - sounds great!

[@ozwzrd]

Both sides of the box are miked, thus the presence of the LH/bass in the mix.

[@tr33m00nk]

@@honeychurchgipsy6 I know this is 6 years late, but in the interest of accuracy I must point out -- Quebecois (traditional Quebec, Canadian) fiddlers have sometimes use "stomp boxes" throughout the early 1900's and maybe earlier. These "boxes" (thin, flat wooden resonating & amplifying 'platforms') have also been used in the early 1900's and maybe earlier by Appalachian 'folk' musicians [I've seen and heard them]. Jon Boden's is well made and well mic'd so it's not as subtle as those heard in earlier 'folk recordings'.

[@jameslewis1605]

My ears, my ears.. the accordian is hurting my ears

[@billythedog-309]

Not an accordian - it's a melodeon.

[@squeezyjohn1]

Fuck off!

[@elliotmadethis]

@@squeezyjohn1 unexpected but concise and hilarious
