[@moloch2007]

So beautiful. John and Bobby Charles, kindred spirits

[@jon8323]

Fear not, John. You got all the music. Rest in song!

[@tipple58]

Nice one, H.

[@qimopapa]

Amen!

[@johndamienreilly]

Had a bar room fight with John Martyn in '92 . Didn't stop me appreciating his incredible talent. Influenced my music writing and playing. Have a listen.

[@Shinken69]

Nobody upstages John Martyn. Excepted Eddi. This is magical.

[@wordplay799]

I never saw him live but have been a fan of his music for over 40 years. I go through fazes of liking different music and artists but I have never grown tired of John's singing and playing

[@malarbusto]

Saw him 7 or 8 times. Every time different (weirdly so on the Grace and Danger tour ... the only one that left me indifferent). But yeah, the same. He is one of the few musical constants in my life.

[@julietbacskai6567]

Me either 64 now discovered him in 80s

[@andylindner]

I have no words for my love for this man and his music. So oustanding ...so deep...

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

I want to sing like Eddi Reader ,works so well with John Martyn .these Musicians are special too .

[@johnqdarwin]

the way he counts them in at the beginning . ahhhh , john mate . i love you man xxxx

[@julietbacskai6567]

Simply pure bliss! Blessings 🌹

[@stephenelkington4971]

John was such a great talent - so sadly missed.

[@g1lgam3sh51]

Utter twat at times but yes, sadly missed :-)

[@beckfreak2000]

Excellent ! Been a fan of John Martyn for a very long time , first time I've seen this everybody in the band superb especially Eddi Reader who i last saw at Jack Bruce goodbye in London .

[@bruceweik]

What a song. This song can haunt you. Eddi Reader is the best female singer alive.

[@carltaylor4942]

Truly a thing of rare beauty. RIP John.

[@MaggieHolley]

Love this man.. and his sweet, soft silky,sexy vocal way.s. That voice. Saw him 3 times Live.. never enough and never forgotten

[@eddiecantwell629]

Must have seen JM. Live at least 10 times. Sometimes unfogetably brill. Sometimes wrecked and terrible! But always his own Man! Loved him Gbnf. Best live act ever!! Xx

[@rodsreel]

Eddi instinctively feels for the right vibe, and with Johns vocal just nails the songs deep hypnotic pull on the senses.

[@pomygit]

Yes this gives me goosebumps its so good. Eddie Reader makes a great contribution too.

[@Andy-pu2iv]

Saw him live once. In a tiny venue, I was effectively sitting right next to him: there was no stage to speak of. He was, of course, "fashionably" late to come out, but, man, what a night.

[@unturnthisstone]

I absolutely love this. All the musicians are fantastic. It creates such an immediate atmosphere and that's a quality that only incredibly talented musicians and singers can achieve.

[@ErnstZundel45]

What a tune !! From a pair of Scottish legends R I P John♥️

[@upendasana7857]

Great combo-Eddi with John,both beautiful musicians with soul.

[@neosamurai1]

Great video! Love Eddi Reader's vocal work!

[@mde6006]

She's amazing! Conjures up and Middle Eastern feel, as she does in Fairground Attraction...she sounds just like the old gypsy lady.

[@Shinken69]

It takes real talent to upstage John Martyn. She is glorious in this.

[@Mr-Foad]

i miss john boy, his music can uplift me and also bring a tear to my eye, hes one of my heroes and he wont be forgoten, he is a true legend most people hear about him through word of mouth thats a true legend and musician to me, thanks for sharing this music with us my friends

[@malarbusto]

Yeah, if it's word of mouth and still goes on after all these years, it must be special.

[@bluesman4298]

Love this. Eddi's wonderful. John is magnificent 🥰

[@barrywyman7199]

One of my favourite tracks top stuff....and the wonderful eddi😊😊😊

[@briangrant2021]

Eddi is a Banshee...hauntingly beautiful....

[@MART0613]

Somehow, this music sounds very different from any other I have been listening to. I love its maturity.

[@weathermanspike]

Wow, what wonderful voices! They fit so good together...

[@wordplay799]

True dat my friend

[@georgemcelroy3058]

Awesome! Haunting, beautiful music!

[@Petchary]

I love this song, and Eddi enhances it...gorgeous.

[@me19276]

a reply to 'edenic' genius breeds madness and spills out into the world in all manners. maybe the legend that is John Martyn felt that alcohol was the only way he could avoid the madness of his genius and still be able to give us the beauty of his music. peace.

[@mykeymay]

what a fantastic performance!

[@Shinken69]

‘Even if my TEETH were on FIRE!’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@markxist]

John + Danny + Eddi = Me, feeling bliss

[@TheMrgaztop]

Cry if you dont like this. Your life is incomplete.

[@mkb600]

Wow. That’s brilliant.

[@williamwitlea4356]

Two of my favorite performers I wished I could have seen a live show.I did manage to see Johns last show at the Albert Hall.

[@Elderwilliam]

Brilliant brilliant singer , RIP big man , wherever you are I bet you are keeping them entertained.

[@StubyStubyDoo]

Stunningly good.

[@Marblewing]

Beautiful! Fantastic!!

[@tipple58]

Better than superb. Hypnotic and moving.

[@da1698]

Love the sly little look from Danny T when John sings 'Now he's got religion'. And I love Eddie Reader ion this, she's right in the zone.

[@TheElevatr]

Its a professional singer visualising her sound, that's what all the arm waving is about.

[@nowzenman]

Wow, thanks for this. Dream team combination. Truly a Zen moment!!!!!!!!!!

[@MarkJVSomers]

euh , euh oeh euh aah - love the way he counts in

[@wordplay799]

Yeah man I thought that as well

[@janus7bc]

I agree, I have followed JM for many years as well. I great performer. let's hope that there is more to come, I lone Eddi's voice too, what a great combination.

[@glasgowgrad]

I sometimes wonder if John Martyn was born in a barrel of a Speyside finest. Fucking ace voice.

[@Josanizgeetar]

John Martyn's countdown is a new standard. He sure had the best whisky.

[@graemehogg9094]

Love the man and his music , love this version but the more I listen the more I suspect that she got all the whisky , in a nice golden glow kind of way .

[@jimigibsonhendrix]

Thank you john and eddi amazing amazing

[@DangerBird]

it is helpful to understand that real musicians play what it occurs to them to play...in the way we mere mortals respond in ordinary conversation I doubt any of the participants were troubled by that performance

[@woodlandpremonitions1807]

Great song, great man.

[@Fdldd]

Sublime.

[@lyndonsavage9549]

Extraordinary collaboration , such feeling, such music, from so few words.

[@Vickijayce]

I LOVE THIS TRACK AND DANNY THOMPSON AND EDDI READER ARE IN TUNE WITH "JM" THE MASTER

[@GuildF40]

I mean just what can you say but genius !

[@AndiAwaitsyou]

its been a while since i listen to this but now i should start my routine again! haha

[@rudyvandam]

Perfect example of making a song your own!! Love Bobby Charles, love Johnny too Bad. Great!

[@ilsagutrune2372]

my friend Pavl loves this song!

[@donnabeattie2948]

Lovely thank you x

[@markgardner1020]

Where did this come from? Been listening to JM for nigh on half a century and this is the first time i've heard this. Absolutely marvellous. Great musicians, stunning, soul-drenched atmosphere and all topped off by the delightful Ms Reader. Had no idea they'd ever worked together. A winning combination

[@JohnShewbrook]

This performance is from a television show called ‘Transatlantic Sessions’. There have been quite a few seasons / series but i am not sure what series this song was performed on. I think it might be series 2.

[@markgardner1020]

@@JohnShewbrook thanks for answering. Info much appreciated

[@debbiemcfadyen6265]

Superb!

[@eleanorbeadsworth43]

2 greats. i wish you both a whisky/whiskey.

[@MrJOKELL]

I really can't remember how I stumbled on to these trans Atlantic sessions but its really sad that there is so much more great music out there that I must be missing

[@charliedevlin4359]

❤️

[@Nigel-ie6gy]

Awesome

[@mnemonyxx]

You should be proud to have a daughter that notices the difference. :)

[@imshooshy]

DAYUM!!!!!!!

[@ttbko]

@Vickijayce you are so so so right. john and danny could seldom do any wrong in my view but eddi reader's fabulous purity and tone are a joy on this track. pam

[@graemehogg9094]

Sublime

[@GaryLehmann]

She's dancing. Notice the last bit--she has one hand up, replaces it with the other, and then the vocal goes down to the fifth, and the first hand comes down to reflect it.

[@leegee63]

Blimey...... that was good.

[@MrCheeserabbit]

Staggering.

[@rkrbar]

RIP John

[@michaelmiddleton3175]

j´adore !

[@gillesserrigny3555]

To finish with this story of the "E" in Whiskey. The Whiskey is the IRISH Whisky.

[@StormyRussian]

holy grail, so freaking hot...

[@andrewgreene7401]

fuckn brilliant 🎵🎶

[@showaddy11]

[@apper2112]

Big up Eddi reader!

[@dezsonenagy2155]

...rva jó! Yesss

[@Delboy001647363]

Lovin it! I think Eddie Reader was supposed to be at the castle next door for the Transcendental Sessions and got a bit lost! :o)

[@Mootuntbaboon]

MOOOOOSHH!

[@MrCheeserabbit]

I heard yer maun late in a shed a few days ago..On a Cafe Del Mar album: Sunshines's Better'.

[@TheMrgaztop]

Ever seen an Angel playing and singing? Watch this mate.

[@scottlynne]

john does start this song with "shes got all the ..." wether its a nod or a dig at reader its up to you to decide read richadichard comment bout ten before then make up your mind bless this stormy weather

[@mnemonyxx]

As original poster, well aware there’s no E in the Scottish spelling of whisky. But as the tune was written by a US person (under title All the Money) guessing the TS video editors respectfully stuck to how he’d have spelled/spelt it. Merry Xmas. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpu5hnivlN2hb8k

[@MrBarney1978]

Love to JM

[@joejitzu4116]

Who gives a shit about the 'e' in whiskeeeey.?Jaysus lads. If there WAS any 'e' in it we'd have a right session.

[@krollpeter]

Beautyful. Sad.

[@andyh.becker6715]

Eddi Reader ist so Zucker

[@robertdixon1693]

I am lost in this

[@carole7777]

@SuperDidgeman never noticed her as much till you pointed it out... now I cant stop looking over there. Her voice is sufficient, she's a peculiar bird :-)

[@williemcgonagall]

@LizAndyMovieWatcher It's on Johns album Church With One Bell, cracking album of covers by him, no Eddie on that but that may be seen as a blessing by some.

[@wordplay799]

His voice sounds like it was distilled through whiskey and smoking and please believe me when I say this is not a criticism in any way🎸🎤

[@hearditman]

No, just a fellow singer called Eddi Reader from Scotland!
