Pentangle - Songs From The Two Brewers 8th, May 1970 (FULL SHOW)

[@thecaveofthedead]

We're so blessed to have all this high quality footage of the band from their heyday.

[@keithmosley8843]

Two of the best guitarists ever to grace the folk genre. Hear Johnny Marr talk about Bert Jansch. Then the jazz influence from Terry Cox and Danny Thompson coupled with Jacqui's voice made the band unique. Seen them many times over the years -always a brilliant show.

[@zsoltbarkaszi9387]

The best psych/jazz/folk band in history!

[@lukegoffkat]

Maybe the ONLY psych/jazz/folk band in history?

[@tomrott5333]

Met Jacqui few weeks ago after her concert in Gloucester. She signed my first Pentangle LP. Still beautiful and still fantastic voice. Still growing her tomatoes... What a pleasure to watch her live...Her next live performance is going to be in Feb '25 but I am not sure where yet.

[@kentholmberg1818]

Lucky you!!!

[@tomrott5333]

@@kentholmberg1818 Indeed ! :) Would love to know where the next concert is ....Oh, it shows now - Fonthill, Tunbridge Wells, KENT !!! Brilliant.

[@19HurdyGurdyMan46]

Thank you 'Take Three Girls' for getting a young school boy, at the time, hooked on Pentangle and leading my sister to buy Cruel Sister. What an incredibly talented group.

[@J.R.Psych74]

This is sooooo cool. This made my weekend a lot better. Peace to you all. ✌ 😊

[@MrHifihifi]

Wow 53 years ago. Still seems like yesterday!

[@sunkenindeaf]

How precious are these live recordings. Out of nowhere, perhaps because of the Danny Thompson connection, one might notice that there is not a bar of someone like Nick Drake captured on celluloid.

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

John Renbourn playing his beautiful Gibson 335 which was later stolen and never replaced. This is amazing to watch all those years ago. R.I.P. John and Bert.

[@rocketpost1]

The unique sound of Pentangle and the glorious voice of Jacqui McShee who looked fabulous in that long white dress. They still sound as good today as they did 50+ years. Of course Danny Thompson went on to playing bass with John Martyn for many years.

[@albertjanvanhoek294]

No "autotune", no "pitch correction", no "live performance" where (partly) a studio recording is mimed, no long naked woman's legs, no constantly moving decor, no woman’s “decolleté”, no flashy lights, no stupid dancers - just real live music by real musicians ...

[@seanfinlay6822]

So true, although I have a memory of Jacqui perched on a stool at the Lyceum wearing a mini skirt, although maybe I’m fantasising….

[@andrewp.schubert2417]

🙏

[@dbitgood1]

I like dancing.

[@paulperkins1615]

In principle autotune and pitch correction could be put to artistic use, it is just that for the most part they've been used badly. And if someone uses those or mimed performances, it seems a bit dishonest not to disclose it. As for the rest, I enjoy more than one kind of visual presentation with my music, and am opposed to telling performers that they must be less sexy.

[@albertjanvanhoek294]

​@@dbitgood1Good for you ! But I don't like electrified dancers on stage who - among other things - have to hide the fact that sometimes the singing is not (always during the performance) purely "live". Apparently the "fans" don't care: as long as the "live performance" is almost 100% like what they saw and heard on "Tik-Tok" and other a-social media: the streamlined studio recording and a "show". I've seen many performances by Van Morrison. Brilliant in terms of expression. But he always hit a few notes that were just not 100% in tune. I prefer that a thousand times over an artist who doesn't sing and/or play 100% "live". Or via the Auto Tune. Then you hear the “computer voice” - perfect but without “soul”. Or whose vocals are "adjusted" later (which sometimes happens on KZbin: beware !) ... until they are almost deader than dead ...

[@Namatamago-Hanjukuouji]

Jacqui looks as if she came back in time from the Middle Ages, so mysterious and beautiful😆❤️

[@glenrobinson916]

I was first introduced to Pentangle in 1969 and worked on learning one guitar solo, Angie. Just love this group, especially Jacqui.

[@kingrobert1st]

Pentangle in their prime! What a gem!

[@Scion3Sevens]

EXCELLENT - the last of their really great albums

[@daveydoodle52]

Never heard such a nutty, clever version of Monk’s “Straight No Chaser.” Love it!

[@sgcim956]

That was "Blue Monk".

[@sanjindumisic]

Enjoyed this! They were very special live, lucky crowd to catch it back then.

[@JamieTheMagicBoy]

Great video! The House Carpenter is brilliant here, Jacqui's solo bit towards the end of the song is fantastic.

[@JudithAtyeo-xn6tm]

Saw them play at the Colston Hall, Bristol in October 1969. Unforgettable!

[@roygavin8219]

Well you're just going to have to forget that, before the mob come along and throw you in the river.

[@atnadrrdeiato]

I saw The Pentangle in 1990 playing in a theater in Cagli (Italy), at the time only Bert and Jacqui remained from the original line-up. Beautiful concert. But the best part of the evening was when we went to eat together in a restaurant and I had the cover of one of their LPs autographed...

[@mattychapati]

Thank you for posting this amazing video. Pentangle were the best UK folk band. Loved them since my teenage years.

[@trevorelliston1]

It’s not folk… it’s far more…..

[@grahamnunn8998]

Insane musical talent at such a young age. To think Jaqui Mcshee brought Light Flight to rehearsal after having the idea on the bus on the way.

[@ianmcilwraith4479]

This is just brilliant

[@scotthubbert]

Along w Fairports:)

[@austinitesince1979]

awesome! I really enjoyed Sally Free and Easy, and Light Flight. hello from Texas

[@martinlintzgy1361]

Thank you very much for the upload. I remember so well watching the tv series take 3 girls, and loving the incidental music..went and bought cruel sister, still have it.😊

[@DavidBell-d5t]

I saw them live a month before this was recorded. Wonderful.

[@serenetofu]

This made me a perfect Friday night! 😊Great music and beautiful fashion style.

[@RichSch56]

Terry Cox's drumming on Light Flight is really sublime, delicate, reflexive - also I love that it coincidentally has a hint of the Motorik groove

[@月下美人03R]

大好きなペンタングルが見れて幸せです。

Beautiful flashback...many thanks.

Fantastic quality, thank you so much for posting.

I can't believe I missed this concert, my parents wouldn't let me go because I was two!

[@stevestubberfield]

What a gem...........was lucky enough to see John a couple of times here in Jersey............

[@RemoSforza]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@alexhall6375]

Love it.. especially Danny’s song, never saw that before

[@liam6177]

the beautiful.. Jacqui McShee.. just fabulous

[@evansmith3589]

and a sitar. wow.🎉

[@FirstUsedBooks]

Yes. Sitar, banjo and upright bass, an unlikely combo that worked so well.

[@Richard.M.White21]

Brilliant!

[@sweetprison]

Wow I love this

[@vmax4steve524]

The 'Cream' of british folk rock, will never be bettered, just love this band.

[@namcat53]

Wrong...Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, etc.are right up there with Pentangle.

[@FirstUsedBooks]

Four incredible instrumentalists without egos obstructing their harmonization. And McShee, the vocalist, amazing. Not so much on this song, but have you noticed how she shapes her lips, and therefore jaws, to modify her vocal output?

[@davidjohnhull]

😊wow❤

[@jameserskine6886]

I cant wait, I listen to your music all the time, can finger pick a number of your songs too ❤❤❤ your all total legend's

I'm having a Nutcracker Ale from Boulevard Brewery(KCMO) while enjoying this one

[@rhiannonhill]

Imagine being in a band with Jansch and Renbourn! The music was pretty good, bit underdeveloped in those days and it was hard to decide whether they or their fans took themselves more seriously. Sixties/Seventies 'folk' died in a morass of pretentiousness and tribal infighting, truthfully, I was part of the scene. Well, fifty years on I'm in another 'folk' band, we do Ceilidhs and get paid well, and we have a laugh. It all got a bit precious in those days, such a shame. PhDs have been written about where this music may have come from, people have done worthy work excavating and reviving genuine folk songs, Richard Harvey, for example, but tbh a lot of it was only flimsily based on what 'folk' or, ordinary people music probably sounded like in the 17/18th centuries. I suspect the Irish and Scottish folk we still hear today has a more unbroken lineage. I also remember folk clubs where you got 'shushed' because the purists wouldn't let anyone plug anything in. How young and silly we all were.

[@ThePineColonel]

Excellent from the off. Gets the sitar out in song two! Can't hear that quite so well in the mix but nevertheless it's a great film.

[@棚澤良太]

ブリティッシュ・フォークのスーパーグループ🎉

[@MrMjp58]

Unbelievable footage of this band. Danny was needlessly dismissive of his vocals, though he put in a sterling performance. Where did that great era go? Into the wide blue..

[@jamesm.3967]

Bert Jansch was big influence on Page. The band inspired Zeppelin.

[@namcat53]

Why don't we see a compilation of these Pentangle shows on a blu ray...what are they waiting for?

[@laurentschuster8089]

Reminds me of the early Grateful Dead....

[@danileljockomo1424]

Fromthe same period is there anything liive from Eclection?

[@klep2859]

Is that Roddy McDowell introducing the act? Sure looks like him.

[@patrickselden5747]

☝️😎

[@AldousHuxleysCat]

Wasn't this one of the bands Jimmy Page used when considering the sort of sound he wanted to have with Led Zeppelin?

[@mrJimCharles]

For acoustic numbers, yes

[@AldousHuxleysCat]

@@mrJimCharles I thought it was a little more than that, that he was actually thinking of not being so heavy and it was when he heard Bonham that he knew the direction he had to take with the majority of the band's music
