Pentangle - People On The Highway (Captured Live 1972)

[@mrterrysvan1544]

Makes me homesick for a place I'm not sure ever even existed

[@hillarykildepstein3196]

It existed.

[@Mr223P]

I think I know that place, it never existed for me either...

[@1GillianSmith]

Me too

[@1GillianSmith]

Exactly My thoughts

[@thumbprintn2413]

If you can feel it it existed

[@Deafpeaches]

Jacqui McShee has one of the purest voices ever heard.

[@TheHumbuckerboy]

So clear, articulate and sweet !

[@ianmcgrath3412]

Jacqui McShee sent me her autograph a few months ago with an accompanying hand writing greeting on a post card and one of their old programmes. Because I'm a fan and we'll never see their like again. Ever!

[@ianjohnson3584]

From the first time in the 1960's i heard the haunting voice of Jackie Mcshay i fell in love with Pentangle's music and nothing has changed.

[@nightheme365]

@@ianmcgrath3412 that's a wonderful gift! Treasure it.

Just an incredible groove. It’s strange and hypnotic. It’s poetic and peaceful. Wonderful.

[@keoniili]

Had one of their records in college but my ears were way too green. I love the contrast between their unassuming stage presence and chilling delivery, reminding us that there was a time when intensity of purpose and the music itself did all the talking. So sad I missed seeing them but so grateful for their work.

[@LaughingStock_]

The timing, the economy, the genius of McShee et al. Just fucking amazing.

[@jujumulligan43]

I was raised on rock n roll, but I occasionally listen to Pentangle for their amazing music. It's so nostalgic and haunting at times. All the players are great but her voice is out of this world beautiful❤❤❤!!

[@billking8843]

I wasn't even a teenager when this was happening. They were on a show called GTK (just before the 7pm news) but were way too much for my 10 year old ears only really discovering this music now. Better late than never.

[@StalkedHuman]

I consider them rock. they rock 😮

[@gabriellaklein8898]

Such amazing vocals and instrumentation. The rhythm is magical. The songwriting is so imaginative. Brilliant creativity. Still love this 50 years later.

[@Mr3sambo3]

Me 2!!! I’m 76. Saw them just once in Detroit Mi way back then.

[@StalkedHuman]

I only gave 1 plus cause they cheated us

[@gibby6904]

Where's my time machine?? What a Supergroup!.....

[@julianvickery8341]

Substance over image. What a talented group of brilliant musicians each of the members of Pentangle were. Thank you. Lyrics: There’s people on the highway, People in the towns, You just can’t get away; I’m a-going to the mountains, Going by the sea, You won’t see me again. Chorus: Gonna move on buddy, Gonna leave my trouble and worry behind, Find a new home to rest my uneasy mind For it’s better to be going, Better to be moving Than clinging to your past; Love is made from living, And dreams are made of sleeping, Better catch it while it lasts. Sweet lady she won’t call Or knock upon my door, She won’t see me at all; And every word I’ve said, Everything I done, Will not turn her pretty head Now if I stay I’ll lose out, For the dealer deals too fast And the game’s turned about; So I think I’ll try a new game, One I understand, Then my life won’t be in vain When you’re feeling kind of blue, Kind of mixed up inside, And good times are few; When every day brings the rain In a never ending flood, And you’re on your own again And when it’s hard to decide What should be your next move And what’d be the outcome; And when sunny days roll by And pass you unnoticed, And time ceases to run.

[@mikesands4681]

Love the glasses of wine in the background.

[@IStandAlone1]

And a pack of Dunhills on the amp. They inspired me to a lot of creative moments before I quit.

[@markturpin5667]

There you have it. Once seen, there's no going back . .

[@CooManTunes]

Yes. I, too, love being drunk.

[@CooManTunes]

@@IStandAlone1 So, you're no longer creative? Mkay.

[@debs4mysweetbaby]

danny thompson is a genius bassist!!

[@dav01kar]

Yep the late Alan Williams was very good too played with Jake Thackeray

[@kuiperjoyce3493]

This sounds like all my favorite bands of the last 40 years at the same time

[@jeffreyrobson989]

The absolute definition of 'tight but loose'! Everything about this song works perfectly. A wonderful, hugely underrated band. RIP Bert, John and Terry; thanks for all the memories Jacqui and Danny. Bet the 70s wine was a bit rough, though!

[@dav01kar]

Terry Cox is still around he's 86

[@jeffreyrobson989]

You're quite right! Apologies, Mr Cox, and may you live to an even riper old age. Could have sworn I read that somewhere; I knew he hadn't played regularly for years but I saw their reunion at the Festival Hall in 2008 and thought he'd passed not long after. That gig was all I'd hoped and more - neve thought I'd see the original line-up again. They didn't play, this, though! @@dav01kar

[@CooManTunes]

Gorgeous Jacqui and glorious Bert.

[@Elise_Shiny]

One of my favorite Pentangle songs. Gave this song lots of airplay on KUNC in 1975-77. I still have several of the vinyl recordings.

[@DjNikGnashers]

When they were all at their peak, absolutely brilliant.

[@kentholmberg4762]

This is a favourite Pentangle song and Jacqui just shines!

[@Simon-fr4ts]

Amazing talent all round. Jacqui though is something else.

[@michaelbonham8524]

Simply beautiful and so evocative of the era.

[@indigofruit8710]

Wonderful from start to finish. Such a complete contrast in their voices, but it works brilliantly.

[@joneses1962]

I can't get enough of this.

[@whatevershebrings]

Sublime performance here...stellar playing from everyone. A seamless experience.

[@mvey1364]

Bonjour . Merci pour la douceur de vos mélodie. Je parle pas englais. Mais j adore votre musique.

[@mikedavies395]

Wonderful performance by a wonderful band.

[@kingdavidapple]

Nice work with harmonics on guitar.

[@replicas11]

This ladies voice is hypnotic.

[@avibank]

This is by far the best recording and version of this song. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@057wolf]

Amazing sound!

[@ajciccar3]

Great song

[@tagskinner778]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@markkubiak8296]

My very favorite Pentangle performance! Beautiful! Thank you!

[@Timmeh551]

Effortlessly beautiful 👀😊

[@mooseymoose]

I weep for what we have lost.

[@edgeyt1]

We need you to publish everything you've got, please

[@Timmeh551]

Indubitably ✊

[@Digginjim]

I would give anything to have this set on vinyl!

[@mandykitson7039]

i loved Burt Jansch

[@christianlacheze3323]

Bert’s brother?

[@mandykitson7039]

haha oops !

[@tomhiggins4124]

Excellent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and live wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The real deal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent.

[@stevearle]

Danny Thompson - 3:42 on!!! ... never has "folk" music swung that hard.

[@debs4mysweetbaby]

he's a monster acoustic bassist!!

[@joamon559]

It’s excellent bass playing but it’s not swung it’s all straight.

[@zootszabo2415]

BEST BAND EVER

[@dome7612]

sublime

[@chrisbarbanica8161]

Never seen Jackie smile before

[@astralcreek]

best jam on the rock

[@tedmoery6091]

Well, thank you so much @julienvickery for posting the lyrics! Good lord what a great song. Have been a fan of Bert J for a long time. Never heard Pentangle before. Wow! Don't suppose you have those chords too?

[@newwavepop]

This is the year i was born, had i been 10 or 20 years older i think i would have had a mad crush on her.

[@ytusersumone]

Wow, so Ian Anderson was in two amazing bands!

[@sanddab]

Orange amps, highly sought after today!

[@Fretlessness]

God this Bassist is money

[@richardball3585]

Lovely - but not a single sighting of John Renbourn. Is there some sort of embargo?

[@SuperMikado282]

Just listen to the music and be content with that.

[@gilselesey4434]

Why are they on the "highway" ? Did "Dual Carriage Motorway" not fit ?

[@jtrevino5268]

At the end of her chorus i hear Honey is devine. I know it's not the lyric but

[@indigofruit8710]

BTW did John not play on this? Sounds like he does, but the producer doesnt show him.

[@DavidJones1960]

I think Renbourn must have slipped the cameraman a few extra francs to keep him offscreen... when I first saw this set of videos I was afraid he didn't make the trip and they were only a Quadrangle.

[@stefanofocacci]

Am I the only one to think that Danny Thompson looks a bit like John Malkovich?

[@tedmoery6091]

Sorry, Julian.

[@nirvilchigs7871]

I think John must have upset the camera man

[@prharrington]

my thoughts

[@rhayader0625]

I don't think he's playing on this song. In the studio version you can hear his electric guitar distinctly from Bert's acoustic. But here it's just Bert.

[@classicguitarfan8]

@@rhayader0625 nah if you watch the whole show it's like John doesn't exist

[@billking8843]

The empty glasses of red on the amps are a very anti rock and roll touch.
