Beverly is the woman that married and sang with John Martyn. You hear her on Simon and Garfunkel's "Fakin' It" and she was on the cover of the first Paul Simon album.

[@johncrow5006]

Track 2 is actually called "Sand & Foam" - though to be fair it was originally called "Mexico" before he recorded it for the "Mellow Yellow" album. Either way it's a great song!

[@suzannelawson9215]

I absolutely love, love this song "Sand & Foam" My God, what a beautiful magical voice. Love his very folky songs the most.

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

"Sand and Foam" is a masterpiece. One of the best songs he ever composed. This concert is Donovan at his absolute peak. After the 1960s his style changed completely.

[@gerthoffmann5436]

​​@@golden.lights.twinkle2329 Yes, it's a masterpiece.

[@claritydreamsleeves541]

So sad that we didn't have more prolific recordings of these premier 60's folk and rock artists. This is a treasure.

[@John-d9e4x]

In the year sorry that this was released l, I learned and played most of his tunes. Many decades later, thoughts of my youth are recalled, "colors"

There are early recordings of Donovan all over KZbin.

[@rickbissell8678]

Donovan taught this finger-picking technique to John Lennon when they were in India. You can hear it clearly in "Dear Prudence" and "Julia"

And Donovan learned it from Derroll Adams.

[@jerricocrittenden8311]

And Jack Elliot ❤

[@victorrobbins2764]

At this time I thought the two coolest people in the world were Donovan and Brian Jones. I was right!

[@harvey1954]

And Donovan became Brian's son's stepfather. His daughter married the lead singer of the Happy Mondays.

[@linexi]

so sweet

"The Tinker and the Crab" is a lovely song. The first one I learned to play and sing from "Gift from a Flower to a Garden".

[@davidoran123]

wonderful. a golden age that almost was. Donovan, our Avatar.

[@Getbackjojo]

Sweet Beverly - hear a 1/2 dozen D tunes soon to blossom out of Sweet Beverly 💞

[@Bilbo4123]

This is awesome! Love the golden era live Donovan! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@tashwhimpey8114]

This is amazing

[@vitogrguricmileusnic5748]

love this version of hey gyp with the flute. are there any more like this one?

[@chriskroll4166]

That was maybe the greatest thing I ever saw in my life. Unbelievable. The ultimate dream Weaver. 🙏

[@dalehas2]

Wow!! Spectacular audio & video quality for 1967. The title of the first song is Sand and Foam (not Mexico) ... one of the greatest early Donovan songs in my humble opinion

[@dalehas2]

Wow again!! Guinevere!! Another of his greatest mid 60s songs ... but unfortunately only one verse of a much longer song.

[@dalehas2]

Both Guinevere and Sand & Foam were released on the UK version of the Sunshine Superman album (1967). There's a live version of Guinevere on Donovan in Concert (1968), probably with the same band on this video

[@babyinvasion]

It was first titled "Mexico" then changed to "Sand and Foam".

[@strangeportents]

Right before Led Zeppelin, there was Donovan. There are boundless stories. But at the end of the day a good portion of what would be Zeppelin were at minimum listening on those sessions. But we all know. Listen to Get Thy Bearings.. Like a Can groove.....still decades before its time.

[@chrissmith8526]

Saw him in Catford town hall in the late 80s loved it great underrated songwriter

[@jaapvandertuuk3785]

So good to still have footage from the Scottish wizzard.

[@thejennytree]

GORGEOUSSSSS

[@markboyd9275]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen him w band sound this time

[@LeiAnnDeLany]

One of my favorites. Right up there with Celeste. I am not a guitar player, just mess around a bit, but was able to pull this song (Sand & Foam) off with Em and C chords only. Seeing him play it live, I wasn't that far off.

[@markmoretzfishing]

Bob Dylan’s Equal!!!!!!

[@friendlier]

Sweet Beverly about Beverley Martyn, with whom he was in a love triangle with Bert Jansch

[@bevklayman4158]

Wow! I've been a lifelong Donovan fan, but this is my first time to hear his song for Beverly, my name! My mind is often out at sea, too. So was he in many of his great songs. What's wrong with that? :-)

[@jamesmanon3000]

Sweet Beverly demo is on the Barabajagal c.d. as a bonus track.

[@harvey1954]

Bankin' off of the northeast winds Sailin' on a summer breeze And skippin' over the ocean like a stone

[@martinseitune3787]

Must be season of the....

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

It;s kind of funny although DOnovan;s best song Season of The Witch has been a hit by many people this is the only xisting vintage 9560;s performance known to exist.

There are many 1960s Donovan recordings on KZbin.

[@Piggy-Oink-Oink]

you are replying to a 4 year old comment,.,.and there is only one other Season of the witch clip[ to surface from the 60's..

[@sunkintree]

his best song? It's a good song but there's plenty of songs, some even on the same album, I would rank high above it

[@nottavictim5]

No comparisons to Dylan here Donovan soars
