The Bill Hicks of acoustic performance. A million light years ahead of his time. His ability to continually reimagine melodies & themes makes him one of the best of all time. His vocals & playing are beyond effortless. Just a Star in every sense imaginable. X RIP & Thank You Isaac. X

I was so lucky to meet and see Isaac play a number of times at Cambridge folk fest. A wonderful man.

Beyond great - Isaac exudes a deep spiritual quality.

Isaac’s son, Easton Guillory, is a wonderful musician too

Quite incredible! I saw this man about this time, in a small venue in my town called Maldon. Brilliant then and brilliant now.

Outstanding

Hi George, I can remember when you first made this available (I think 15 years ago) and I was really excited because at the time it was the only video of Isaac you could get. Since then of course there have been many more but this still stands out as one of the highest quality and it’s great that you’ve made the full set available now on KZbin so more people can find it. Many thanks and best wishes!

Thanks Tom, putting the set up for everyone was something I wanted to do from the start, but at the time, KZbin had limits on file size etc, and I had to crank down the quality significantly to be able to simply put segments up. Didn't do Isaac justice to do that, both in terms of lowering the quality and breaking it up into segments. Still not close to what the technology allows for today, but at the time it wasn't that bad. I hope it has a long life on KZbin, and that it's a gift from Isaac that keeps on giving....

Masterful performance!!

[@nickyG7515]

Thank you for sharing this amazingly crafted set, by my mentor at work! R.I.P Isaac

[@Toby_Travels]

Thank-you so much for putting this up on KZbin. I saw him just once in Windsor Arts Centre, approximately 1997. Tiny crowd. He makes that guitar ring out. What a star he was.

[@jojojam6012]

Isaac was a real treat for guitar players.

[@paulgarthwaite9734]

Thank you so much this is amazing the greatest musician I have ever .!

[@andrewplumb6544]

What a treat. Had the good fortune to see Isaac live 5 or 6 times. He does make that Martin sing. A master of his craft. Thank you for posting this.

Bless you

As an extremely talented artist, amazing, amazing guitar player that he wasn't more well known. I just recently came to find about this musician and then I read that he passed away in 2000 at just 53 years old. What was his cause of death at 53 years old? Way too young....

[@paulgarthwaite9734]

It was cancer I saw him in some really smokey venues,the smoking ban came to late for thus genius.

[@suzannelawson9215]

@@paulgarthwaite9734 Thanks for your reply. So sad......he certainly was a genius musician. Wish I had been able to see him at a concert.

[@Will-hg2xl]

My musical highlites of living in the UK were attending LIVE AID, and discovering Isaac. I wouldn't choose Live Aid over Isaac in any way.

[@nickyG7515]

OUTSTANDING!

[@SingleMalt77005]

Quite wonderful. Can someone add a timestamped setlist?

[@lindaulreich4272]

Isaac does Jeff proud on Weary Gypsy.

[@snakebite69]

I don't use this word lightly.....genius.
