❤

One of the greatest songs ever written.

Hypnotic.

Two of Our Fabourites ❤🎉

Magnificent.

Thank you Danny Thompson.

Aly Bain!

Doesn't need the extra musicians. John and Danny only stripped back version better.

Nice one Danny. You excelled on these sessions. Thank you for posting this.

this man's voice could break your heart

Yes indeed , so much Beauty here!!..

Lovely stuff...

I couldn't keep my eyes dry listening to this one. Thank you!

This takes me back to 1973 to 75 ish - listening to solid air etc on wgbh from Georgetown university on fm… my first exposure to lots of amazing music - and whfs, high atop the triangle towers in Bethesda, mb lol

This is the most beautiful song ive ever heard

Gefühl. !

When I found Johnny. I never lost him again. ❤️☮️

My word i've been listening to this since I found it in 2009 and by God it gets even more powerful as I age

Magic

C'è una sofferenza e malinconia incredibile nella sua voce....ho sempre adorato John

His life took him far away from home in a musical sense this was such a pleasure to see him home and at his pleasure ...the expressions postures and overall demeanour a word cannot describe I'm preserving this myself I don't want this to ever be taken down.

How I miss you John

For John Martyn read Gordon Lightfoot .

Brilliant singer songwriter but a truly hideous domestic abuser , he deserves to rot in hell.

Sublime ☺️

Ms. Beverly Martyn, I am sorry to learn about you having to suffer so much through him. I know that was bad, bad.
But one thing you are not right, his music. When he had an instrument, he is the best human in the world.

Oh yes!!

this looks and sounds fantastic. very talented bunch of musicians.

Love this and the May You Never performance from transatlantic sessions, such a great series.

I shook John's hand twice, but this is the first time I've heard this version. Thanks, Danny, for a lifetime of good tune & the good friends you've had.

yes, just yes.

Great version. Would have been nice to maybe acknowledge the other musicians.

I hope you read these comments, Danny. Thank you, just thank you!

Johns voice is in fantastic form, what a pearl of a version
