Pentangle - Reflection (Captured Live 1972)

[@socialismfails]

Danny Thompson is just a beast

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Agreed... Everytime I watch him it's amazing to think about who he played with... And all the classic albums he's on.

[@raucousreg9064]

The whole band are beasts. Hard to single out an individual.

[@waltlynch7619]

Some interesting things about this clip, which is live on tv... John smoking while playing! Orange amps! Everywhere! With empty wine glasses on them! Danny’s bass intro and Bert’s wry smile as if to say, take that, you pedestrian folk bands! Jacqui, cool as a cucumber, comfortable singing everything, jazz, blues, trad, pop. Does this sound like a “folk” band? There never was, or will be, any band quite like The Pentangle

[@frankwhelan1715]

Jacques in her 70es now,unbelieveble.

[@shaunmcgee4204]

@@frankwhelan1715 I’d still marry Jacqui in a New York second.

[@reneharde3459]

As a Crimson and FC fan, purveyor of much folk/prog and art rock - late to Pentangle, I must say I agree

[@pat9689]

For me, it sounds a bit like Jefferson Airplane, et vice versa! ;-)

[@davidmay8104]

Yes, the Orange amps were very popular in those days with many bands. I like their experimental approach and the way they mix in the blues and jazz influence. I don't much care for the psychedelicized video effects. Too distracting.

[@richardball3585]

So good to see a group concentrating on the music, rather than prancing around on the stage trying to "communicate".

[@mothwings99]

I love that Terry Cox is also singing

[@1e0s]

This is magical & that drummer/percussionist is something else🎶❤‍🔥

[@sloppy_hand]

off course they're all great, but to me what made them as a band sound so special was their rhythm section, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox... they were super jazzy! also, an upright bass makes every song better! cheers from Brazil

[@bargainbassist]

Thank you for giving a shout-out to Terry Cox. Most Pentangle comments I've seen ignore him. Sad, because his variety of drumming and percussion techniques, along with that occasionally swinging beat, appropriately underscored and added instrumental color to the band's music.

[@markhunter8554]

Makes this bass guitarist wish he could play upright.

[@chris-mp2py]

john and bert I hope to see in heaven

[@chris-mp2py]

good lord. an ad just interrupted, r u kidding, see ya

[@FuzzyDancingBear]

Good luck w that

[@charlescoe5315]

Danny Thompson...one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century.

[@maxwellfan55]

What fun to have been a musician in Pentangle with all that room to play, sing and experiment.

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

From Pentangle and Fairport Convention, to Cream, Humble Pie, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, et cetera, it's freakin' amazing the sheer amount of musical talent and songwriting that came out of the U.K. from '65-'75.

[@billybigtime2808]

Each member makes it all looks so effortless when it’s definitely not

[@LaughingStock_]

That is the true sign of "greatness".

[@AnthonyPoetica]

All five musicians at the top of their game! Brilliant.

[@MikeFowlerguitars]

Those looks on everyone's faces... They knew... They'd made acoustic music incredibly cool.

[@alexsf4248]

Thank you for the wonderful clip. The sound of Pentangle is one of a kind, and Danny’s bass playing will always be an inspiration to me. 🙏

[@verite]

Amazing music and playing. No-one ever sounded like them, and wow what a rhythm section. Love how Jacqui doesn't break a sweat singing a tricky part for 10 minutes.

[@chris-mp2py]

[@saltrocklamp199]

I wish someone had showed me this when I was learning bass in my teens. I'd have spent hours and hours trying to learn this intro.

[@gaetanocaccianinimaturanzi3434]

Deliziosi ancora oggi a distanza di anni, inimitabili ed unici per stile e tecnica. Speriamo che vengano apprezzati dalle nuove generazioni, e da quelle future 🍀🎶🙏😉

[@jarmyvicious]

I think I have a new favorite band

[@DavidMorgan-e1s]

They were a band that were slightly before my time until recently when a young woman in her twenties joined our music group to learn guitar .A couple of weeks later she says my mums aunt sings in a band and i replied really what are they called and she replied Jacqui Mc Shees Pentangle the young lady in question has a good singing voice

[@bnbwhitezombie]

This is some great stuff. I've never heard of Pentangle before.

[@markhunter8554]

Heard of them but never heard them until this week.

[@chris-mp2py]

this is a good place to start

[@IFeelSoTongueTied]

welcome

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

What! Then you haven’t lived! The first I heard of them was in a tv series called Take Three Girls. That’s when I sort of fell in love with London and the UK. All the best from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

[@bnbwhitezombie]

@@scottlewisparsons9551 When I first got this message I was like; NO WAY! The Parson of my church group is named Scott Lewis.

[@sharonconstable8146]

Fantastic singing!

Angelic Psychedelic What a nice Relic

[@A.Dajlida]

The grooviest Pentangle's song... does really express their vibe.

[@miguelcoelho3877]

Thank you so much for posting this on KZbin. The music these guys recorded, along with that of the Fairport Convention (particularly with Sandy Denny) -- to mention but a few -- was the backdrop to so many moments of beauty and reflection during my adolescence, back in the '70s, right at the beginning of my love for folk music, and particularly folk-rock, a love which lasted many decades. It is wonderful to watch them playing live, and still so refreshing after all these years...

[@julieshrive3198]

Check out June- July Band saw at Mosely festival Steve Harley too Cockney rebel pub circuit & Artrix before pandemic .Songs of sandy Denny excellent .The notables are on the uk circuit at Stroud Sub Rooms we get Macy Gray & Mavis Staples some play Westonbirt Arboretum open air via Nation alTrust & English Heritage. not safeguarding those watching their pennies for whatever reason when solo/single being recognised by system then not Policy & procedures ? of Thatcher re education teachers & midwives .We are reaping the consequences now re inappropriate safeguarding & cooking the books ".Still going on & on & on . 'Astitch in time saves nine 'I learnt as a child .'

[@dhsumana407]

Great playing not so sure about the camera experimentation Still a wonderful coming together of musical minds

[@verwurster6022]

Mein Lieblingsstück.

[@sdubon7800]

I’ve been following you since Sweet Child...what a joy to find this

[@thewordofgord]

Wonderful to have this on Ytube. Recall seeing a dvd of it years back at some ridiculous price. Great playing with psychedelic photography.

[@Lukas-zg4tg]

Thanks for posting these, I'm sure most of us would love a proper release or even a doco!

[@robertcronin6603]

Freaking amazing 🔥

[@user-eh6yu2yi4h]

Absolutely Top Draw👍👏👏👏

[@Timmeh551]

Complete class ….. ✊

[@matthewehritz3544]

How good are they? Thank you for uploading

[@SimonJelffs]

Brilliant music & musicianship as usual... unfortunate camera effects..!!

[@miguelcoelho3877]

I agree, very unfortunate, indeed. I bet it was supposed to be "trippy" but, had I watched this back then under the influence, it would have very likely given me a bad trip. Dreadful!

[@mariajosemorenoguerrero8638]

Fantastic!! Oldfriens!!

[@clilaux]

Superb ✌️🖖

[@MsMsmak]

Does Jacqui ever riff? Would love to hear her do that. Beautiful voice though.

[@charleneboyle2325]

A feast for hungry ears

[@parttime9070]

Why I listen to radioparadice.. Bill slips this into his mix.. Foundation setting band..

[@buffplums]

Ace bass playing by Spike lol 😂

[@allancopland1768]

KZbin compression just destroys it. Luckily I have the real deal on two LP's. An heir and spere. The real deal positively sperkles.

[@noaharkadedelgado]

This is the live performance

[@allancopland1768]

I know. I saw them many times live, but KZbin compression makes the sound quality suck. Sounds like it is being played through an old sweaty sock. @@noaharkadedelgado

[@noaharkadedelgado]

@@allancopland1768 I heard there a 3xCD with this performance in HQ sound

If Black Sabbath had a girlfriend

[@helenl2343]

Outstanding, however I'm left feeling cheated after that bizarre drum footage

[@tonywozere909]

Crikey! Turn off all cooking before listening to this song.
