Bendigedid 🏴 Pentangle at the Horseshoe Hotel, Tottenham Court Road, London. Great days, I was about seventeen going on seventy, now I’m seventy going on twelve (according to my wife)
I'd just like to thank who ever holds the various rights to this vid for not getting it removed - it's such a beautiful concert and very dear to all fans and friends of bert. Thanks ! ☼
I cried. Everytime I see Bert Jansch playing something, or even talking about anything, I cry. I don't know why, this man touches something inside of me, like few others. I will always love him
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''.
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.
This music goes directly to my heart. I have carried with me since I was a young girl just beginning to spread my wings. A joy of my life was to hear Bert live as he opened for Neil Young. A few months later he was gone🦇🥀🌹
Bert is the master. It blows my mind to think about how much he drank yet still had the ability to play a guitar like a master. Don't know how you can write a song like Needle of Death yet still fall into a bad habit like alcoholism but it did not conquer him! He overcame and kept playing his tunes which are some of the best tunes ever written. One thing I've noticed about Bert and Jacqui is that at any point in time of their lives they play and sing together they are always tightly in sync. Such a strong connection, they're sound was made for one another. Thanks for the upload!
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 first listened to Pentangle as well as Bert and John on solo records when I was 15, at the same time as i listened to the usual range of music available in the late sixties and early seventies. I could happily go the rest of my life without hearing most of what I really liked then. Moreover, i have to be in the mood to listen to the Stones or Quicksilver or the Allman Bros, whereas Pentangle is always a pleasur - robust and timleless music that still stands up. Thanks for posting!
Bert J and John Renbourn in the same group was amazing.Jack Orion inspired me to stop shredding my Fender,and start playing acoustic guitar.I still own both but the acoustic has a lot more miles on it
i became friends with these guys in '66. Renbourn visited me in Cambridge, Mass. in ’69. One of my very best memories in Life is finding myself in Soho at dawn in an open air market after listening to Bert and Jacqui. They, as lovers, were walking hand in hand after playing all night at Les Cousins with a basket that included fresh flowers. Helped me understand what Love is and can be… mostly through their glorious music. I am a complete Junkie for English and Scottish ballads. The guys are all dead now. I miss them. /g P.S. Peter Michael, make sure that Asa hears them. Love, Grumpy
the beauty of acoustic music..no matter how old you get, or different you look, the sound is still there. Jacqui and Bert had something that was truly timeless. Perfect blend of voices, the perfect with the flawed. great stuff.
I recently discovered Bert Jansch through his L.A. Turnaround LP that Michael Nesmith produced in 1974. Just learned that he passed away a couple of years ago. Thank you for the music! RIP!!!
I fist became aware of Bert from an interview Jimmy Page did in Trouser Press back in 1976. He'd mentioned that Bert lost his ability to play from arthritis in his hands. Wondering what it was that helped him to overcome this obstacle so well. His abilities seemed effortless on this recording. You'd never know that he's ever missed a beat. What an incredible talent ! Thanks for posting.
The BBC doing what they do best , capturing a piece of musical history . Sadly Bert is no longer with us and at this time of year I would be going to my annual Bert gig at the Edinburgh festival , alas no more , Thanks for posting this video .
I always gravitate towards this concert Laphroaig and Gibson in hand or not.. It has a spiritualism that escapes me religiously, regretfully.. Came to you via The Smiths and Nick Drake but every river has a tributary. You are very special to me and many others X
Bert took 'Anji' from Davey Graham and found he just coulnd't stop playing it - it is such a fine, addictive tune for any guitarist. Then came Paul Simon, who learned the song from Bert Jansch, found he just couldn't stop playing it while residing in England and playing his guitar as a one-man band; Simon put it on one of the S&G albums. Along came Harry Sacksioni, the Dutch guitar virtuoso, and a big S&G fan, not in the least because PS is a fine guitarist. Harry picked up the tune, added a number of embellishments, and turned it into a happy showpiece on a - mind you - nylon string guitar. I bought Harry's album in 1976, then Paul Simon's album in 1980, then Bert Jansch' album in 1985, and last of all Davey Graham's album only recently. I really love all the versions and most performances of Angie (as Graham called it) or Anji (as it was called since Bert made it his own) and guess what? I found that I just can't stop playing it. It has been on my list of favourites for 35 years, and still I didn't get enough of it. Take that capo, 2nd fret (for me, that is) and my fingers just find those chords, those picks, that playfulness. I think it is a guitarist's favourite more than a listener's favourite, but what the heck. So thank you for keeping that flame, and passing it on to many of us, Bert!
I can definitely hear how Nick Drake would have been influenced by Bert. Bert breaks rules, but they were rules which he meant to break and his music is all the richer for it. This music reminds me of the way a stream flows and eddies round the contours of the bank that guide it. Spiraling pools of liquid composition, forming, breaking and reforming as the body of the music flows. Thanks Bert. RIP
I just found out about the existence of this amazing artist five minutes ago, yet many of my heroes and references were his fans. Well, better late than never. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
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 🎶
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.
j'adorais Bert Jansch et John Renbourn quand j'avais 17 ans. Un jour je me suis fait voler les 33 tours que j'avais d' eux ensemble ou séparément et je me suis dit que jamais plus j'écouterai ANJI ou les autres morceaux (c'était en 1980). Et voilà que je les retrouve maintenant avec you tube et des personnes qui les aiment autant que moi. Mêmes émotions ! quelques larmes aussi. Merci à tous.
I have been listening to bert for 45 years and never got bored my fav guitarist of all time never stuck to any musical rules met him twice in dublin may the master RIP
This guy plays the Fck outta that guitar! No simply strum chords here, he's all over the neck constantly. This is a innovative professional. Awesome playing, Brilliant!
This wonderful man inspired me to start playing guitar in 1969. 20 years later I met him in an Irish pub in London and was really sad that he hadn't gained the name he deserved. RIP Bert.
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.
It's the only guitar I hear sound divine when equipped with a pizzo pickup and internal pickup. It's the first time that I haven't been disgusted by the sound of one of these electro-acoustic guitars. It is fabulous !
November 3, 2023 - Happy Birthday Super Great Ultra Badass Archangel. We worship adore and serve you forever great tutor to the greats. Peace Love Bliss Nirvana Forever as you already know of course. Kisses Shawn Callie Arthur
Fantastic... What a superb guitarist and a wonderful human being.... Thanks to those for providing this show for us .... Rest in peace Bert... You deserved a far greater audience in your life.
What an absolute honour and pleasure to see one of the greatest guitar players fo free.A BIG THANKYOU for this upload,.,.,.,.,.,.,Peace and Blessings to whoever appreciates Mr.Bert Jansch
I've been watching and learning from Bert Jansch and John Renbourn since the 60's when they were with Pentangle . This concert is pure gold ! He's a lighthouse of a guitarist and songwriter .
Two Great Talents singing together, Bert and Ralph. Doesn't get any more special than this. Thanks so much for posting this video. Wonderful t hear "Moonshine". Quite possibly my favorite song of all time.
Thank you Bert, Thank you John,,,,they lined up down the streets to see you! Rest and there will be music in the Kingdom.......angels with guitars now.......
This is great, Bert was a true artist and great guitar player, what struck me was Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler played very eloquently on the songs they played and proved themselves as pretty good musicians too.
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!
Hes the only bloke playing this style i even remotely enjoyed. He was an original - irreplaceable. The rest seem fake. They probably aren't but its my view only
Bert and Johnny Marr should have worked together more. They really clicked in these performances. Their version of I've Got A Feeling is perfect. Jacqui's voice is amazing as it was back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Wonderful performance.
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.

Bert was 60 on 11 April 2013?!! I do not think so! That would make Bert about 6 years older thank I! I do not think that in 1968, when the masterpiece Basket of Light was recorded that Bert of 15 or 16! That would be too much for my ego. I was a fair professional player at 22 or 23, I cannot remember ANY player being that good at 15 or 16! -I.e. capable of cutting those masterful sides on Basket of Light. Anyway, 'tis a lovely date, and seeing Jacqui McShee singing so well (top of her game!) makes my happy. I confess to being not a little in love with Jacqui McShee -all through my teens and then some. A most beautiful women. -Worse, talent turns me on and Jacqui has more than is possible. Belated (quite belated!) happy 60th to Bert and I know that his chops will grind on forever as great players, if driven by the blues, do not fade, nor wrinkle nor decline. Bert is a force of nature. Plus, his voice sounds just like it did when he was 25. This is NOT a statement that I can make! I have to lower my keys every year. My strings are wobbling like rubber bands, as are my pipes. Some of us do NOT grow old gracefully. God's speed, Bert Jansch, I know Big Bill is keeping a careful watch on you!
"...I do not think that in 1968, when the masterpiece Basket of Light was recorded that Bert of 15 or 16! That would be too much for my ego.

"Anyway, 'tis a lovely date, and seeing Jacqui McShee singing so well (top of her game!) makes my happy." Get out of the folk and rock clubs and open yer ears and other senses to jazz and ethnic musics. I heard the first LP releases by French\German Sinti Gypsy 15 year old guitarist Bireli Lagrene playing in a combo with others from Django Reinhardt's tribe and across EuroAsia the Lagrene family created a sensation. That was 30 years ago. Birelli aka Billy Green dba Lagrene was a kid marvel with deep old soul and restraint then grew into a dexterous nimble digited bear and pyrotechnic electro-acoustic picker and string attacker.

As I age into some of their wiser pieces of music and recording or performing I continue to deepen my love for their recordings over the years. Just trying to put it into a wider context and deeper perspective.... While Bireli's virtuosity later became a shtick on the flashy Gypsy Django circuit, he began in his pre-teeens becoming enthralled with the music he heard being interpreted and personalized by all these legendary in their own traveler communities cousins on Bireli's family and tribal Sinti Roma tree. At some point Bireli's playing got to be a code for some of the highest performing virtuoso players across musical genre. I get lost there. Jansch reaches me deeply playing the most simple of melodies and only needing to get mildly sublimely tricky with his rhythms and meter both on the strings and phrasing those narrative lyrics.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bir%C3%A9li_Lagr%C3%A8ne Biréli Lagrène (born 4 September 1966)[1] is a French jazz guitarist who came to prominence in the 1980s for his Django Reinhardt-influenced style. He often performs in swing, jazz fusion, and post-bop styles. Biography "Lagrène was born in Soufflenheim, Alsace, France, into a Romani family and community. His father and grandfather were guitarists, and he was raised in the Gypsy guitar tradition. He started playing at age four or five and by seven was improvising jazz in a style similar to that of Django Reinhardt, whom his father admired and wanted his sons to emulate. In 1980, while in his early teens, he recorded his first album, Routes to Django: Live at the Krokodil (Jazzpoint, 1981).[2][3] "During the next few years, Lagrène toured with Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucía, and John McLaughlin, all of them guitarists, and played with Benny Carter, Benny Goodman, and Stéphane Grappelli.[1] He joined Larry Coryell and Vic Juris in New York City for a tribute to Reinhardt in 1984 and went on tour with Coryell and Philip Catherine. He also performed with Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, the Gil Evans Orchestra, Christian Escoudé, and Charlie Haden. In 1989 he performed in a duo with Stanley Jordan.[2] "His collaboration with Italian guitarist Giuseppe Continenza, with whom he has performed in numerous concerts and festivals, including the Pescara Jazz and the Eddie Lang Jazz Festival, began in 1998, when the two met behind the scenes of a festival and started talking about each other's musical interests.[4][5][6] " Mitch Ritter\Paradigm Sifters, Code Shifters, PsalmSong Chasers Lay-Low Studios, Ore-Wa (Refuge of Atonement Seekers) Media Discussion List\LookseeInnerEarsHearHere
Took me over 40 years but I found my favourite guitarist. Never knew anything about the folk revival or indeed folk at all until recently. Glad I do now.
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
A great artist, passionated and sincere and a master of the intricate finger picking. What touch me the most is his voice which gives me each time goose bumps and chills
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.
I know he was born in Glasgow, but he spoke with an English accent even in very early interviews. I can only assume he spent most of his life south of the border. I was born in Bradford, but you'd never guess it from my accent, or lack of one. At least he didn't effect an American accent like so many do ;)

I CALL THE CONCERT YELLOW MOON SO SORRY IT IS CRIMSON MOON. THIS CONCERT FOOTAGE WOULD BO VERY GRATEFULL IF THIS WAS RELEASED ONTO A DVD. THIS IS ONE OF OUR TRUEST BEST FINGER PICKING GUITARESTS THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN AND HEARD. THIS IS ABSOLUTLY SHEER BEAUTY PLAYED WITH HEARTFELT LOVE TOYOU BERT R. I. P. .YOU WILL PLAY ON IN HEAVEN FOR EVER MORE BERT WE CAN STILL HEAR YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. BLESS YOUR OWN SWEETEST HEART WITH MUCH AFFECTIONATE LOVE FOR THIS BEAUTIFULL FOOTAGE..XXX BIG TIME.
I first came across Bert through Pentangle's Basket of Light album (which I still have on vinyl). I bought several albums featuring acoustic guitarists, but the one track always stuck in my mind was "Needle of Death" played by Bert.
This video must have left out some of the actual concert as Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval & David Roback reportedly sang/played at this event too, but I don't see them in this footage.
That's odd - that's the very first mention of it I've ever heard. Are you sure ? I always assumed it is not the full concert, but rather a BBC edit for broadcast, but I never heard of those other people being involved in anything I have seen or read (I wasn't there sadly).
They were there. Preface: Hope co-wrote and sang on the song "All This Remains" on Bert's 2003 Edge of a Dream album. And Bert played guitar on two songs on Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions' 2001 album Bavarian Fruit Bread. A song recorded years earlier with Bert playing, called "Spoon", appeared on Mazzy Star's 2013 album, Seasons of Your Day. Here are details about the concert quoted from a 2003 post at Hope Sandoval's official site (findable via google search) QUOTE: November 8 ... London, England ... Queen Elizabeth Hall (South Bank) Hope performed with David Roback at Bert Jansch's 60th Birthday Concert on Saturday November 8, 2003 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at London's South Bank. Other guests included Johnny Marr, Bernard Butler, Ralph McTell, Colm O'Ciosoig (My Bloody Valentine), Johnny "Guitar" Hodge and Bert's son, Adam Jansch. REVIEWS Clive: The format was Bert playing a couple of songs solo, then bringing on a guest to accompany him for two or three, back to solo, etc. There were two sets that lasted about two hours in total. David and Hope came on in the second set and played three songs with Hope singing on all of them. They were "Suzanne", one I didn't recognise and the one Hope sings on Bert's "Edge of a Dream" album, "All This Remains". The line ups were: "Suzanne": Bert - guitar, Sandoval - vocals and glockenspeil, Roback - inaudible keyboards, Colm O'Ciosoig - guitar Unknown: Bert - guitar, Sandoval - vocals and harmonica, Roback - guitar, O'Ciosoig - drums "All This Remains": Bert - guitar, Sandoval - vocals, Roback - inaudible keyboards, O'Ciosoig - drums, Adam Jansch - bass On the final encore, a blues song Bert sang that may have been "Come Back Baby", the whole ensemble came on which added to 3 above Johnny Marr - guitar, Bernard Butler - guitar, Ralph McTell - guitar, Johhny "Guitar" Hodge - guitar. Hope didn't sing but played harmonica. During the song David Roback had a conversation with Ralph McTell.
Ahhh - that's a different venue I think, so presumably a different gig. Honestly I had no idea there even were more '60th birthday' gigs, I thought this one was it but the venue here is LSO St Lukes in East London so there must have been more. I've just done a bit of googling and it appears to be a totally different venue as there is no mention of LSO anywhere in their info/blurb. I guess that explains it ???
It does lol. I wish he'd played a few up north - London is just too far for me these days. I did get the pleasure of seeing him at some open air festival back in the day, but that's about it.

Isn’t it amazing that we can watch this for free on TH-cam ?
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

Bendigedid 🏴 Pentangle at the Horseshoe Hotel, Tottenham Court Road, London. Great days, I was about seventeen going on seventy, now I’m seventy going on twelve (according to my wife)
Here's to the guy who inspired Jimmy Page...into playing "black mountainside"...for the yardbirds (who evolved into Led Zeppelin)
I'd just like to thank who ever holds the various rights to this vid for not getting it removed - it's such a beautiful concert and very dear to all fans and friends of bert. Thanks ! ☼

This music goes directly to my heart. I have carried with me since I was a young girl just beginning to spread my wings. A joy of my life was to hear Bert live as he opened for Neil Young. A few months later he was gone🦇🥀🌹

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?
This seems to be the best video recording of Bert Jansch on the internet.
Credit where it's due to bbc4 to preserve a truly great musician.
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 :)

Since 1965 Ive been listening to this amazing Guitarist Lyricist Musician song writer and am still amazed every time I return to his music
Bert was one of the great soul-lifting music makers that made it so good to alive and young then. And old and grateful now.
Starts and ends with a Jackson C Frank tune. The circle was completed
Bert J and John Renbourn in the same group was amazing.Jack Orion inspired me to stop shredding my Fender,and start playing acoustic guitar.I still own both but the acoustic has a lot more miles on it
WHAT AN ALBUM 👌
I was 16 when I bought the Pentangle LP in London. It's always been with me !
Miss you so much Bert. Sorry I never got to colabotate😂with you. Gone too soon. Love that my mother is was blessed to know you 🙂
And glad I met you,🥰
i became friends with these guys in '66. Renbourn visited me in Cambridge, Mass. in ’69. One of my very best memories in Life is finding myself in Soho at dawn in an open air market after listening to Bert and Jacqui.
They, as lovers, were walking hand in hand after playing all night at Les Cousins with a basket that included fresh flowers. Helped me understand what Love is and can be… mostly through their glorious music. I am a complete Junkie for English and Scottish ballads. The guys are all dead now. I miss them. /g
P.S. Peter Michael, make sure that Asa hears them. Love, Grumpy
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.
the beauty of acoustic music..no matter how old you get, or different you look, the sound is still there. Jacqui and Bert had something that was truly timeless. Perfect blend of voices, the perfect with the flawed. great stuff.
So sad all these guitarists who died in the youth of their old age : Bert Jansh, John Renbourn, Ralph McTell, John Martyn.
I recently discovered Bert Jansch through his L.A. Turnaround LP that Michael Nesmith produced in 1974. Just learned that he passed away a couple of years ago. Thank you for the music! RIP!!!
I fist became aware of Bert from an interview Jimmy Page did in Trouser Press back in 1976. He'd mentioned that Bert lost his ability to play from arthritis in his hands. Wondering what it was that helped him to overcome this obstacle so well. His abilities seemed effortless on this recording. You'd never know that he's ever missed a beat. What an incredible talent ! Thanks for posting.
Now Jimmy Page is in his 70s and he too was suffering from arthritis
The BBC doing what they do best , capturing a piece of musical history . Sadly Bert is no longer with us and at this time of year I would be going to my annual Bert gig at the Edinburgh festival , alas no more , Thanks for posting this video .
Bob Dylan once said, "Me and Joan Baez.. we could sing together in our sleep." Same deal with Bert and Jacqui... tight as tight ever gets.
I always gravitate towards this concert Laphroaig and Gibson in hand or not.. It has a spiritualism that escapes me religiously, regretfully.. Came to you via The Smiths and Nick Drake but every river has a tributary. You are very special to me and many others X
Bert took 'Anji' from Davey Graham and found he just coulnd't stop playing it - it is such a fine, addictive tune for any guitarist. Then came Paul Simon, who learned the song from Bert Jansch, found he just couldn't stop playing it while residing in England and playing his guitar as a one-man band; Simon put it on one of the S&G albums. Along came Harry Sacksioni, the Dutch guitar virtuoso, and a big S&G fan, not in the least because PS is a fine guitarist. Harry picked up the tune, added a number of embellishments, and turned it into a happy showpiece on a - mind you - nylon string guitar. I bought Harry's album in 1976, then Paul Simon's album in 1980, then Bert Jansch' album in 1985, and last of all Davey Graham's album only recently.
I really love all the versions and most performances of Angie (as Graham called it) or Anji (as it was called since Bert made it his own) and guess what? I found that I just can't stop playing it. It has been on my list of favourites for 35 years, and still I didn't get enough of it. Take that capo, 2nd fret (for me, that is) and my fingers just find those chords, those picks, that playfulness. I think it is a guitarist's favourite more than a listener's favourite, but what the heck.
So thank you for keeping that flame, and passing it on to many of us, 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.
I can definitely hear how Nick Drake would have been influenced by Bert.
Bert breaks rules, but they were rules which he meant to break and his music is all the richer for it. This music reminds me of the way a stream flows and eddies round the contours of the bank that guide it. Spiraling pools of liquid composition, forming, breaking and reforming as the body of the music flows. Thanks Bert. RIP
@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!
I just found out about the existence of this amazing artist five minutes ago, yet many of my heroes and references were his fans. Well, better late than never. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
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.
If Johnny Marr is a fan of your music you know you're winning.
Bert and John.the soundtrack of my young's dreams.RIP
when i was a young teenager way back then, in chiswick, i first heard bert jansch, the blue album and my life was changed from that point onwards...
j'adorais Bert Jansch et John Renbourn quand j'avais 17 ans. Un jour je me suis fait voler les 33 tours que j'avais d' eux ensemble ou séparément et je me suis dit que jamais plus j'écouterai ANJI ou les autres morceaux (c'était en 1980). Et voilà que je les retrouve maintenant avec you tube et des personnes qui les aiment autant que moi. Mêmes émotions ! quelques larmes aussi. Merci à tous.
I hope they invited Jimmy Page to play Blackwaterside. Heh heh.
Haha...yep 😁
His invitation got mysteriously lost in the post
Saw the man twice at the legendary Marquee Club on Wardour Street in Soho back in the days. Unforgettable.
michathielen1 so fortunate
Ralph McTell and Bert here absolute totall harmony twin guitars played by both absolutly beautiflllness.
I’ve never really listened to Ralph McTell until this. What a fantastic voice he had
I have been listening to bert for 45 years and never got bored my fav guitarist of all time never stuck to any musical rules met him twice in dublin may the master RIP
"Running from Home, " with Ralph McTell is fantastic.
Bert Jansch had a great vocal tone for folk music.
This guy plays the Fck outta that guitar! No simply strum chords here, he's all over the neck constantly. This is a innovative professional. Awesome playing, Brilliant!
His musicianship and songwriting ability never diminished as he aged, unlike most artists. Bless his soul, if only I could've seen him perform live.

+Kaare K. Johnsen Excellent video Karre - thanks for posting :)
Sweet strings that sing and a voice unique that surrounds you and holds you.
The generosity of spirit in Bert's music is so contagious if you have the ears to hear it.
Bert's "Birthday Blues" is one of the great albums in my collection.
I want this,omg what a treasure I've found 😍
This wonderful man inspired me to start playing guitar in 1969. 20 years later I met him in an Irish pub in London and was really sad that he hadn't gained the name he deserved. RIP Bert.
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.

You must have been my next door neighbour!

It's the only guitar I hear sound divine when equipped with a pizzo pickup and internal pickup. It's the first time that I haven't been disgusted by the sound of one of these electro-acoustic guitars. It is fabulous !
Met him once and really cool guy got me a drink,always amazing and totally unique style,rip Bert.
appreciated his honors to davy graham

Some people take flight some people never leave. Bert is always with me
Fantastic... What a superb guitarist and a wonderful human being.... Thanks to those for providing this show for us .... Rest in peace Bert... You deserved a far greater audience in your life.
Nobody can make the guitar
sing like Bert!
What an absolute honour and pleasure to see one of the greatest guitar players fo free.A BIG THANKYOU for this upload,.,.,.,.,.,.,Peace and Blessings to whoever appreciates Mr.Bert Jansch
Jacquie's singing is just effortlessly cool
The opening song is a Jackson C. Frank song - shouldn't he be credited. Makes it seem like Jansch wrote the song.
I've been watching and learning from Bert Jansch and John Renbourn since the 60's when they were with Pentangle . This concert is pure gold ! He's a lighthouse of a guitarist and songwriter .
This is the reason for the Internet.
[weeps]
It is without doubt one of it's better uses 🎶 🌞
O my heart ❤
This is fantastic! Thanks for putting it up for the world to share.
What a treat! - and what a numpty I was ,not listening to these people 40 years ago!
I was …never stopped!
Two Great Talents singing together, Bert and Ralph. Doesn't get any more special than this. Thanks so much for posting this video. Wonderful t hear "Moonshine". Quite possibly my favorite song of all time.
i hate it when i find out that people like bert and swarbrick died fron cigarettes
Thank you Bert, Thank you John,,,,they lined up down the streets to see you! Rest and there will be music in the Kingdom.......angels with guitars now.......
excelente guitarrista y gran cantante ¡que bien suena en directo! ¡ pena que nos haya dejado!
This is great, Bert was a true artist and great guitar player, what struck me was Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler played very eloquently on the songs they played and proved themselves as pretty good musicians too.
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 ...
so wonderful, thank you 4 sharing this...
Actually all the song titles come up on screen as the vid plays, but I have added the full tracklist above in the description for convenience :)
I love his singing and playing very much. One of a kind.
Hes the only bloke playing this style i even remotely enjoyed. He was an original - irreplaceable. The rest seem fake. They probably aren't but its my view only
I can hear echoes of Anji in The Smiths song "Some Girls are Bigger than Others"
Wonderful. Thank you for posting this.
Older music is far better than the stuff you here today love all their music
Running from home making dreams of my own
--- Absolutely stunning. A very great moment. ---
yeah but jansch with jacqui and johnny tho
a beautiful document!
As good as it gets. Thankyou. R.
Bert and Johnny Marr should have worked together more. They really clicked in these performances. Their version of I've Got A Feeling is perfect. Jacqui's voice is amazing as it was back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Wonderful performance.
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.
You could call them a movement of poets sensing movement through heightened and often stilled perceptive senses.

Bert was 60 on 11 April 2013?!! I do not think so! That would make Bert about 6 years older thank I! I do not think that in 1968, when the masterpiece Basket of Light was recorded that Bert of 15 or 16! That would be too much for my ego. I was a fair professional player at 22 or 23, I cannot remember ANY player being that good at 15 or 16! -I.e. capable of cutting those masterful sides on Basket of Light.
Anyway, 'tis a lovely date, and seeing Jacqui McShee singing so well (top of her game!) makes my happy.
I confess to being not a little in love with Jacqui McShee -all through my teens and then some. A most beautiful women. -Worse, talent turns me on and Jacqui has more than is possible.
Belated (quite belated!) happy 60th to Bert and I know that his chops will grind on forever as great players, if driven by the blues, do not fade, nor wrinkle nor decline. Bert is a force of nature. Plus, his voice sounds just like it did when he was 25. This is NOT a statement that I can make! I have to lower my keys every year. My strings are wobbling like rubber bands, as are my pipes.
Some of us do NOT grow old gracefully.
God's speed, Bert Jansch, I know Big Bill is keeping a careful watch on you!
Yep, he was born in 43 so he would have been 70 years old.

Get out of the folk and rock clubs and open yer ears and other senses to jazz and ethnic musics. I heard the first LP releases by French\German Sinti Gypsy 15 year old guitarist Bireli Lagrene playing in a combo with others from Django Reinhardt's tribe and across EuroAsia the Lagrene family created a sensation. That was 30 years ago. Birelli aka Billy Green dba Lagrene was a kid marvel with deep old soul and restraint then grew into a dexterous nimble digited bear and pyrotechnic electro-acoustic picker and string attacker. Search him online with clips from across his teens to more present times:

A few years after his playing Montreux above as a seeming pre-teen and solo, I saw him in a San Francisco jazz club
with tight combo and his maturity of taste and material (less flashy, yet breathtaking emotional range for a kid or anyone!) blew across the crowded room me and my dear friend and jazz mentor, Bob Jones of Memphis, TN Z"L Rest in Play Bob!, who was then in his 70's & became a Birelli Lagrene aka Billy Green fan

Biréli Lagrène interpreta ''Hungaria'' de Django Reinhardt y Stéphane Grappelli

No disrespect meant toward the same folk & rock guitar playing troubadours and session players I too have loved
with all-consuming passions described above. As I age into some of their wiser pieces of music and recording or
performing I continue to
deepen my love for their recordings over the years. Just trying to put it into a wider context and deeper perspective....
While Bireli's virtuosity later became a shtick on the flashy Gypsy Django circuit, he began in his pre-teeens becoming
enthralled with the music he heard being interpreted and personalized by all these legendary in their own traveler communities cousins on Bireli's family and tribal Sinti Roma tree. At some point Bireli's playing got to be a code
for some of the highest performing virtuoso players across musical genre. I get lost there. Jansch reaches me deeply
playing the most simple of melodies and only needing to get mildly sublimely tricky with his rhythms and meter both
on the strings and phrasing those narrative lyrics....

Biréli Lagrène (born 4 September 1966)[1] is a French jazz guitarist who came to prominence in the 1980s for his Django Reinhardt-influenced style. He often performs in swing, jazz fusion, and post-bop styles.
Biography
"Lagrène was born in Soufflenheim, Alsace, France, into a Romani family and community. His father and grandfather were guitarists, and he was raised in the Gypsy guitar tradition. He started playing at age four or five and by seven was improvising jazz in a style similar to that of Django Reinhardt, whom his father admired and wanted his sons to emulate. In 1980, while in his early teens, he recorded his first album, Routes to Django: Live at the Krokodil (Jazzpoint, 1981).[2][3]
"During the next few years, Lagrène toured with Al Di Meola, Paco de Lucía, and John McLaughlin, all of them guitarists, and played with Benny Carter, Benny Goodman, and Stéphane Grappelli.[1] He joined Larry Coryell and Vic Juris in New York City for a tribute to Reinhardt in 1984 and went on tour with Coryell and Philip Catherine. He also performed with Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, the Gil Evans Orchestra, Christian Escoudé, and Charlie Haden. In 1989 he performed in a duo with Stanley Jordan.[2]
"His collaboration with Italian guitarist Giuseppe Continenza, with whom he has performed in numerous concerts and festivals, including the Pescara Jazz and the Eddie Lang Jazz Festival, began in 1998, when the two met behind the scenes of a festival and started talking about each other's musical interests.[4][5][6] "

The guitar on the first song is indeed a Yamaha LL11. Typically with Martin light, non phosphor strings
Would be Anne Briggs had been there...Wonderful show, the best to Bert Jansch, RIP.
7 years later the incredible Bert Jansch was to leave this earth, suffering from throat cancer
Took me over 40 years but I found my favourite guitarist. Never knew anything about the folk revival or indeed folk at all until recently. Glad I do now.
Stunningly stunning
thanks for this from a long time fan of Bert! :)
His music makes me feel stuff. So good.
bert live at burton on trent art centre years ago what a great night a joy.a one man band
wonderful stuff - how we all tried to play Strollin' down the highway and Anji back in the day ...
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...
A great artist, passionated and sincere and a master of the intricate finger picking. What touch me the most is his voice which gives me each time goose bumps and chills
40:15 such a great song and collaboration.
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.
this man does not care about how he is playing, about chords, notes: There are not many like him.
I could never understand why he always sung with an English accent, even Scottish traditional songs.
I know he was born in Glasgow, but he spoke with an English accent even in very early interviews. I can only assume he spent most of his life south of the border. I was born in Bradford, but you'd never guess it from my accent, or lack of one. At least he didn't effect an American accent like so many do ;)
@@mordokch Born in Glasgow (Partick)...would now be singing something like The Wurzels, if able.
Bert was born in Glasgow , grew up in Edinburgh ... and Bert's singing pronunciations are unique , unto Him
I like the two Jackson C Frank songs he played :) Carnival is a great song.

I CALL THE CONCERT YELLOW MOON SO SORRY IT IS CRIMSON MOON. THIS CONCERT FOOTAGE WOULD BO VERY GRATEFULL IF THIS WAS RELEASED ONTO A DVD.

I first came across Bert through Pentangle's Basket of Light album (which I still have on vinyl). I bought several albums featuring acoustic guitarists, but the one track always stuck in my mind was "Needle of Death" played by Bert.
That song still makes me cry again and again! The saddest song I have ever heard!
We saw Jacquui and Renbourn in a small club in Chicago- superb.
my life is complete
The FATHER, SON & HOLY GHOST of guitar right there, in "The River Bank"
Thank you. Thank you.
thanks for posting this!
goooosebumps without an ending.....saw him 35 years ago..my great hero...he is still with us.....
This video must have left out some of the actual concert as Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval & David Roback reportedly sang/played at this event too, but I don't see them in this footage.
That's odd - that's the very first mention of it I've ever heard. Are you sure ? I always assumed it is not the full concert, but rather a BBC edit for broadcast, but I never heard of those other people being involved in anything I have seen or read (I wasn't there sadly).
They were there.
Preface:
Hope co-wrote and sang on the song "All This Remains" on Bert's 2003 Edge of a Dream album. And Bert played guitar on two songs on Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions' 2001 album Bavarian Fruit Bread. A song recorded years earlier with Bert playing, called "Spoon", appeared on Mazzy Star's 2013 album, Seasons of Your Day.
Here are details about the concert quoted from a 2003 post at Hope Sandoval's official site (findable via google search) QUOTE:
November 8 ... London, England ... Queen Elizabeth Hall (South Bank)
Hope performed with David Roback at Bert Jansch's 60th Birthday Concert on Saturday November 8, 2003 at the Queen Elizabeth Hall at London's South Bank. Other guests included Johnny Marr, Bernard Butler, Ralph McTell, Colm O'Ciosoig (My Bloody Valentine), Johnny "Guitar" Hodge and Bert's son, Adam Jansch.
REVIEWS
Clive: The format was Bert playing a couple of songs solo, then bringing on a guest to accompany him for two or three, back to solo, etc. There were two sets that lasted about two hours in total.
David and Hope came on in the second set and played three songs with Hope singing on all of them. They were "Suzanne", one I didn't recognise and the one Hope sings on Bert's "Edge of a Dream" album, "All This Remains". The line ups were:
"Suzanne": Bert - guitar, Sandoval - vocals and glockenspeil, Roback - inaudible keyboards, Colm O'Ciosoig - guitar
Unknown: Bert - guitar, Sandoval - vocals and harmonica, Roback - guitar, O'Ciosoig - drums
"All This Remains": Bert - guitar, Sandoval - vocals, Roback - inaudible keyboards, O'Ciosoig - drums, Adam Jansch - bass
On the final encore, a blues song Bert sang that may have been "Come Back Baby", the whole ensemble came on which added to 3 above Johnny Marr - guitar, Bernard Butler - guitar, Ralph McTell - guitar, Johhny "Guitar" Hodge - guitar. Hope didn't sing but played harmonica. During the song David Roback had a conversation with Ralph McTell.
Ahhh - that's a different venue I think, so presumably a different gig. Honestly I had no idea there even were more '60th birthday' gigs, I thought this one was it but the venue here is LSO St Lukes in East London so there must have been more. I've just done a bit of googling and it appears to be a totally different venue as there is no mention of LSO anywhere in their info/blurb. I guess that explains it ???
Creates confusion!
It does lol. I wish he'd played a few up north - London is just too far for me these days. I did get the pleasure of seeing him at some open air festival back in the day, but that's about it.
