I think it is in CFCCGD tuning on his Guild D55NT, through a Maestro Bommerang Wah/Vol pedal, MXR Phase 90, EH Big Muff, Mutron Envelope follower, then to the Echoplex and the MM amp and cab. De Armond sound hole pickup and barcus berry (type) peizo pick up behind the bridge to a Di box and seperately to the amp, lots of gaffa tape and new Dunlop Green Flash trainers (in the 70's we called these plimsoles!). Many thanks for posting this classic concert which I had the luck to attend.

He played the fool sometimes, but make no mistake the man was a perfectionist about his music. A class act, and much missed.

I love our John, but l saw him on a folk festival in Brittany, France in 1979 with John Renbourn, Richard and Linda Thompson etc.. . I was so drunk and stone, that he was taken off the stage. But, it was a great moment, he had flashes of lucidity to get the audience back. Then he ends up on his knees. Genius, tragedy and comedy.

favorite singers from this era and from England would be Sandy Denny and Nick Drake and top 2 guitarists from the same period would be Richard Thompson and John Martyn. Funny how all four artists were produced by Joe Boyd and all on Chris Blackwell's Island Records! What an incredible wealth of music and creativity England had in the 1960's and 1970's. Thank you for posting this incredible performance by JM! and thank you JM for the music. Bless!

I was a dj at my college in Baltimore in mid 77, used to play this tune before going out with buddies. played as much JM, Nick Drake and King Crimson as they would let me on a jazz show.

Ha! I was John's dealer back in the late 70's. Well, one of them, at least! I remember the first time I met him, in the Albert Drive flat in Glasgow where I used to live, his cousin Graham told me he would always go through people's record collection to see if they had any of his records and I didn't believe him. But sure as shit, when Graham brought him round that's just what he did! Luckily I had 'London Conversation' so we got on great! Just wish I'd got him to sign it!

Had a fight in an airport bar with John Martyn in '92. He told me he was a Freemason and I called it the mafia of the mediocre. Anyway still love his music. Had a big influence on my songwriting and performance. Click the profile and have a listen.

Apologies for not looking properly ! I have looked up also the 'JMartyn-Live at the BBC' DVD -deduced now it must be that DVD with the contents 'rock goes to college' . Also just now found Amazon does a 'region all' version -previously I could only find region 2 on searches (UK). Looks promising for a purchase by me now. Cheers.
