John Martyn " Looking on "

[@joynkeast-qz7oe]

Late to the John Martyn party, but so glad I came.

[@pedrolorca5835]

been listening to this genius for nearly 50 years - saw him many many times live. i once read somewhere that his concerts can be like religious experiences...so so true. totally and utterly mesmerizing.

[@robertevans6596]

True. Also seen the big man many times. RIP Johnny

[@pamelamorrison4086]

30 years for me❤

[@markstevens6568]

A giant in every sense of the word; he could squeeze every last drop out of a song. Bless you John.

[@ArnoldsBluesAndMore]

Man man wat een gigantische sound weet die man neer te zetten groot

[@Eline_Meijer]

he is not drunk, he is talented

[@HenryGray7401]

a dj on the late night radio show opined " if you consider yourself a serious fan of music and never listened to john ? think again ! " irreplaceable ( honoured to have been in the audience many times ) 🎶 🎸

[@andrewtreynolds]

he is talented beyond words. he is also absolutely plastered drunk

[@RICHARD.WRIGHT1]

I would say both. Been listening to John for almost 40yrs. Love his character, and above his music.

[@tomneff7030]

Sadly...he was a drunk. His problem was serious...and it contributed to his death.A genius nonetheless.

[@paulhoughton5164]

He looked pissed yeah and he may well have been off his face but in spite of this he can coax the angels from heaven to send shivers up my spine got to love that man - he was a musical maverick in a world of his own and us ...,,.... just lookin on .... in awe

[@stephenfairchild2786]

how great are his vocals

[@MickVanBørd327]

Alan Thomson on fretless bass 😮 May John rest in paradise !!!

[@paul2602]

And he said he wasn't feeling well. Amazing performance.

[@peteperry5712]

I often think how underestimated were the superb musicians John surrounded himself with. His 80's lineup were superb.

[@markgardner1020]

Can only ever understand him when he sings ... stunning performance

[@stokedtogetmellow]

Damn. Johnny Boy is wasted, and still sounds brilliant! 💙

[@helenjacob7548]

I'm in love with this. Wish I had seen him live. I was introduced to 'Solid Air' in '94; I then bought 'Sunday's Child' around the same time. I once heard he was playing 'Lochgelly Centre' but he just wasn't my boyfriends cup of tea and I didn't want to go on my own. Years down the line , out of all the music I've listened to he was the only one that stuck to me emotionally (and the Cocteau Twins and other bits here and there) that I started watching him on You Tube and he is my deep favourite ....will order 'the man upstairs' on DVD soon so I can watch in awe and get a bit drunk and have a night in. That boyfriend, (he's now my husband) just leaves me to it when I put him on TV, although on a night out he's come in drunk and serenaded me with 'Gun Money' which was well entertaining.

[@ScorthyBoiish]

Top class ..John and the band at their sublime best

[@brucebherman]

😉 nice piece Helen, the man was outstanding, met him during different stages of his career (1970-2005), mindboggling!!! cheers (how's the boyfriend? ;-) )

[@helenjacob7548]

@@brucebherman Hi Bruce. Lucky you! The boyfriend's my husband now; he's got sketchy taste in music but excellent taste in women. :D

[@leekosmin8788]

I sang harmonies with John on his album Well Kept Secret, which is the album Gun Money is on. To sing harmony with a brilliant singer who improvised all the time was challenging but amazing. Best Wishes, Lee.

[@guyperry4010]

THIS is the great period of his life. He went from sublime to simply genius the closer to the end he got. Magical. Alan Thomson (of course) and Spencer. They cook it up. Fantastic.

[@TontoThe1]

I agree.......as some one who was a close friend for thirty years. facebook.com/groups/495218443957702/

[@gillesserrigny6324]

Ok, John Martyn has always his incredible voice. But a great period! Car accident with injuries, one cyst on his knee. After, he had been amputated of his leg. He made, with courage and always smiling , his come back. But, l didn't find his voice.

[@HenryGray7401]

loved john's music always. he was my very first concert, in dublin 1981. this is very fuckn special ! a masterpiece ( also like the black suit and slippers too )

[@dubboyz4887]

He was in his own musical world, nobody could conjure up that feeling that John portrays through music. Always been part of my musical life and luckily saw him at the jazz cafe in the late 90s. God bless you John .We are all just looking on 😊

[@TheIkaraCult]

John Martyn after a few too many is a million times better than most, he was unbelivably brilliant

[@fulcrum300]

Legend, that is, John Martyn💎

[@DAZ28111]

Very big miss He's legend ❤

[@petergrohmuller1372]

Indeed. And the reason for this is: the more jazz the better

[@josephbaca6372]

Gorgeous

[@ELEMAY100]

Glad you like it Ian, to me, this was the best version of Lookin On he ever did.

[@ScorthyBoiish]

definitely the best version, yes

[@paddyman33]

Totally agree with that ...this is fabulous.

[@ScorthyBoiish]

Spoiled only by the rockist riff that John thought worked here but in my opinion it was out of place...

[@billsmith44]

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿I’ve never yet watched this version of Looking On without it leaving me in stunned silence! Cheers! John....Slainte!..✌️🥃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@ELEMAY100]

So glad you like this Bill, I'm thinking of releasing another dvd sometime

[@ScorthyBoiish]

Lyn and Eleanor...whoa there...!another DVD ..serious? This is indeed a wondrous take..

[@ScorthyBoiish]

The best version of Lookin on that's true

[@GuildF40]

If the universe had a voice this would be it. Proper musicians here.

They don`t come any better. Always a pleasure never a chore.

[@marctenbruggencate3248]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@HGPTW]

40 years in November since I saw him in Southampton - and still I come back to John; just love him!

[@TheIkaraCult]

it says everything about John Martyn that he mastered two kinds of music, this jazzy style and his Solid Air Period too.

[@TheIkaraCult]

He could shit out a song on the toilet better than 99% of others, what a great perfomance

[@larryparis925]

Not the best way to put it.

[@stephenmcgiff8877]

😅😍🤣

[@beefwreath2856]

i appreciate the notion of shitting it out specifically 'on the toilet' and not just any old place

[@baliscotsurf]

this is painful to watch....but I can't stop.

[@MbdslEst1964]

Alan Thomson.... One seriously underrated player.

[@GuildF40]

They are all underrated that's why we love them.

[@ScorthyBoiish]

BRILLIANT BASSIST ALAN

[@davidjfisher]

So true

[@Aaron-iy3bj]

Simply love what he can do whatever the vibe, it always works. My fondest memory is the night I photographed John After he playing solo in a Stoke pub back in 1996. Just him, his guitar, amp and a pedal. Just great.

[@williamoates9887]

Lovely chords ....

[@rada.dagaz2024]

восторг и восхищение!!!!!!!

[@trustnoone9921]

I love John’s music especially when he started that beautiful echoplex style guitar playing

If I just listen without looking at his band mates, I could swear I was hearing Chick Corea, Jack DeJohnette and Jaco Pastorious. Fab fusion.

[@MrDallman]

I was just thinking the same my friend….it’s called Jazz JM style…the bass player nails it ( John Giblin)

[@peteperry5712]

No words....as per. Miss him like Hell!

[@patriciahealey2927]

Check out Liverpool singer Mick ROACH on Spotify his track Meantime and good in blues he says it's a Martyn tribute...amazing vocal just like John ....

[@MrDallman]

Oh John you nailed it again.......fabulous performance as always....Jazz JM style....God bless you big man. Saw you at Reading university way back when...been a fan for ever. Big shout out for bass player.
