Terence Speaks ... May 5, 2010
Mr. T. A. Staines (England, UK)
John Martyn is a bloody genius anyway, but to watch him actually play live on these BBC recordings takes you back to a period in time that was frequented by the likes of Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, etc etc ... You just HAVE to buy this, it's priceless. You find yourself watching his fingers intently, and trying to work out all the weird tunings.
Guaranteed pleasure! July 3, 2009

For someone who appreciates the work of John Martyn, this DVD is a must. Starting from the late 70's with a set from the Old Grey Whistle Test and then Reading University. John Plays a stunning, mainly acoustic performance as a soloist and includes his witty banter with the audience.
Into 1981, Stirling University; John performs with his band and uses electric for this performance. There are Extra features with other great sessions with John, from The old Grey whistle test.
154 minutes of fantastic music, showing the great skill of John Martyn's playing, his witty humour and unique voice. What is lovely, is that it is filmed in such a way, that it feels as if you could be there in front row position. It has a personal, simplistic feel, and Truly mesmerizing to watch! The quality and sound is excellent. Beautifully put together. DTS surround sound.
If John Martyn's music and playing style interests you, than quite simply this DVD will not disappoint. It is a lovely keepsake to remember this great artist. I cannot think of any negatives for this DVD, other than i wish there could be more John Martyn performances available to buy to this quality and standard!

Anyone who wants to find out about good music played by someone at the top of their game need look no further than this DVD.
The tracklisting is top notch and the source very good to excellent. Given the BBC's poor ability to archive material there is a surprisingly large ammount of john Martyn still arrund in the archive.
This has to be one of my top 5 music DVD's beaten only by (Led Zeppelins DVD,for quality and quantity and Paul McCartneys DVD for Volume of material)
Hats off to the compillers this should be in every musicians collection.

I love John Martyn's music and at last I've found this copy of the gig I went to when I was university. Fantastic to "re-live" it, memories flooding back. Weird seeing myself in the audience.
