John Martyn & Danny Thompson - Spencer The Rover (Transatlantic Sessions, 5th April 1996)

Johns voice is in fantastic form, what a pearl of a version

I hope you read these comments, Danny. Thank you, just thank you!

Great version. Would have been nice to maybe acknowledge the other musicians.

yes, just yes.

I shook John's hand twice, but this is the first time I've heard this version. Thanks, Danny, for a lifetime of good tune & the good friends you've had.

Love this and the May You Never performance from transatlantic sessions, such a great series.

this looks and sounds fantastic. very talented bunch of musicians.

Oh yes!!

Ms. Beverly Martyn, I am sorry to learn about you having to suffer so much through him. I know that was bad, bad.
But one thing you are not right, his music. When he had an instrument, he is the best human in the world.

Sublime ☺️

Brilliant singer songwriter but a truly hideous domestic abuser , he deserves to rot in hell.

For John Martyn read Gordon Lightfoot .

How I miss you John

His life took him far away from home in a musical sense this was such a pleasure to see him home and at his pleasure ...the expressions postures and overall demeanour a word cannot describe I'm preserving this myself I don't want this to ever be taken down.

C'è una sofferenza e malinconia incredibile nella sua voce....ho sempre adorato John

Magic

My word i've been listening to this since I found it in 2009 and by God it gets even more powerful as I age

When I found Johnny. I never lost him again. ❤️☮️

Gefühl. !

This is the most beautiful song ive ever heard

This takes me back to 1973 to 75 ish - listening to solid air etc on wgbh from Georgetown university on fm… my first exposure to lots of amazing music - and whfs, high atop the triangle towers in Bethesda, mb lol

I couldn't keep my eyes dry listening to this one. Thank you!

Lovely stuff...

Yes indeed , so much Beauty here!!..

this man's voice could break your heart

Nice one Danny. You excelled on these sessions. Thank you for posting this.

Doesn't need the extra musicians. John and Danny only stripped back version better.

Aly Bain!

Hypnotic.

One of the greatest songs ever written.
