12 Bar Jelly Roll Solid Air Classic John Martyn live on Scottish TV, circa 1995. What a talent he was.

[@robertedge4183]

No tricks, no echoplex, just pure John....

[@abrokenframe82]

Damn he was good. The real deal, songwriter, singer and awesome guitarist. The mould was completely broken.

[@charleylochtefeld3834]

Master - glad he walked the earth and blessed us all.

[@mattnicholas9842]

Was lucky enough to see him perform live a good number of times, my fave artist since I was a kid (I'm 60 now), miss you so much man.

[@marcbehrend3470]

So glad I got turned on to John amazing

[@karmayogibear]

Love the solid air version - JM is so brlliant when he strips it right back to just him and a guitar

[@rujocat]

FANTASTIC!!!

[@julianvickery8341]

John Maryn live on the Renfrew Ferry in 1995/? Brilliant.

[@Freakster1970]

So much good John Martyn stuff on KZbin!

[@LindseyBarron-f1q]

Absolutely fantastic.

[@Yahyahyahyahyahhalftone]

Reminds me of driving down a one lane road

[@VelcroKittie]

I don't really know what to say it's that good

[@ianmcgeachy]

Thanks very much for this..John Maryn playing on the Renfrew Ferry I think in 1995- theres another upload of some of this performance.but this includes also 'solid air' from that night- brilliant - plus this is v good video quality. Much appreciated -Ian

[@kimballard8362]

Oh man I knew since longtime he was good but man he was sooooo good,, love this upload, thanks guy.

[@lildouche731]

Wonderful, thank you!

[@TommyRobertsMusicChannel]

never seen this before, top vid, many thanks

[@glenngriffiths7519]

Thanks played a guitar like ringing a bell

[@Yahyahyahyahyahhalftone]

I like his picking

[@PeterOzanne]

Recorded in 1990, includes his song to Nick Drake - "Solid Air". Fantastic.

[@jbojoify]

this was recorded in 1973 im pretty sure on the album Solid Air....

[@PeterOzanne]

@@jbojoify You're absolutely right: what I meant was the concert clip on the video, recorded on the Renfrew ferry, as it says at the end of the clip, BBC Scotland MCMXC (1990). I was at Kingston Polytechnic in 1970 when John Martyn played there. Great times!

[@jbojoify]

@@PeterOzanne dang im jealous i wish, JM is my musical idol

[@gillesserrigny6324]

​​@@jbojoifyl saw him in 73. He was more thinner and had more (curly) haïr. During this time, on his Martin guitar, there was a deArmond pick-up. It's the John Martyn from the very end of the 70's and probably the beginning of the 80's.

[@OutlawWebMaster]

Ferry gig in '90 for sure. Was there....part of his entourage. Travelled from the hotel to the gig in a taxi with Billy Bragg & Edi Reader either side of me. Stuck in the middle of them holding the travel Monopoly board so the could keep the game going. 😂😂😂

[@weedrunkglasgowman]

Superb. Thank you,thank you, thank you!!!!!!

[@johnmartyntribute]

Yeah! Everytime pleased about new jm-uploads, thanks a lot!

[@RobinBibiMusic]

Beautiful work ❤

[@FrankMagnolia]

Even tho you can see it on his face that he's a little pissed off to be performing in some kind of a dinner club, his guitar sounds like crap, but he casually rips through Easy Blues and Solid Air like a true legend he was

[@davidwhirled6024]

That's a new favourite version of solid air for me, how was John so good?

[@weemalky]

This is the Renfrew Ferry Glasgow. I am guessing about 1986 or 1987.

[@markgardner1020]

Those strings were tough

[@234cheech]

yea we miss ya big fella..fucking nice upload

[@neilmcgrory39]

[@wishIdpaidattention]

[@troygaspard6732]

Just Szolid!!

[@daf827]

Superb.

[@GuildF40]

The real deal.

[@TartanTrailBlazer]

Unbelievable

[@melchorh]

What tuning? DaDGad.

[@boosh90]

Think it's D standard, same as "One day without you"

[@robertwoodhouse2067]

Seen him twice on the ferry .

[@dommartin5932]

Standard tuning I think. Played in #A. Great song. Old jelly roll Morton song.

[@varkenshand]

This is a stonking good video, well hidden because of the less informative title :o)
