I cried. Everytime I see Bert Jansch playing something, or even talking about anything, I cry. I don't know why, this man touches something inside of me, like few others. I will always love him
know what you mean Bert had a unique way of playing & singing which strikes straight to your heart & soul, has the same effect on me as you, will be much loved & missed, ''play in peace''.
You just cant fake that stuff! Cheers.

Me too....and I doubt this is due to my lost and/or misspent youth. Watched the current Russian Gypsy group Pelegyea and noted its sightly more ""rock" incarnation of Pentangle. I'm no musician so go figure. My point is if the music is good it never quite goes away.
Lovely Moonchild
I'd just like to thank who ever holds the various rights to this vid for not getting it removed - it's such a beautiful concert and very dear to all fans and friends of bert. Thanks ! ☼
If Johnny Marr is a fan of your music you know you're winning.
His musicianship and songwriting ability never diminished as he aged, unlike most artists. Bless his soul, if only I could've seen him perform live.

This music goes directly to my heart. I have carried with me since I was a young girl just beginning to spread my wings. A joy of my life was to hear Bert live as he opened for Neil Young. A few months later he was gone🦇🥀🌹
Bert Jansch had a great vocal tone for folk music.
Isn’t it amazing that we can watch this for free on CZcams ?
It is. I think this is probably the best footage of Bert I've seen. The BBC sucks most of the time, but they've had their moments.
Was Jimmy Page at this 60th birthday concert?...I bet he's watching from backstage

Miss you so much Bert. Sorry I never got to colabotate😂with you. Gone too soon. Love that my mother is was blessed to know you 🙂
And glad I met you,🥰
I was 16 when I bought the Pentangle LP in London. It's always been with me !
the beauty of acoustic music..no matter how old you get, or different you look, the sound is still there. Jacqui and Bert had something that was truly timeless. Perfect blend of voices, the perfect with the flawed. great stuff.
So sad all these guitarists who died in the youth of their old age : Bert Jansh, John Renbourn, Ralph McTell, John Martyn.
i became friends with these guys in '66. Renbourn visited me in Cambridge, Mass. in ’69. One of my very best memories in Life is finding myself in Soho at dawn in an open air market after listening to Bert and Jacqui.
They, as lovers, were walking hand in hand after playing all night at Les Cousins with a basket that included fresh flowers. Helped me understand what Love is and can be… mostly through their glorious music. I am a complete Junkie for English and Scottish ballads. The guys are all dead now. I miss them. /g
P.S. Peter Michael, make sure that Asa hears them. Love, Grumpy
xxx lovely story
Wow I’d love to chat with you!
What great memories you described about being friends with these guys.
I too am totally addicted to British and Scottish folk music.
I have been listening to bert for 45 years and never got bored my fav guitarist of all time never stuck to any musical rules met him twice in dublin may the master RIP
Since 1965 Ive been listening to this amazing Guitarist Lyricist Musician song writer and am still amazed every time I return to his music
Bert Jansch…first LP I bought, age 14!
Bert was one of the great soul-lifting music makers that made it so good to alive and young then. And old and grateful now.
Nobody can make the guitar
sing like Bert!
Some people take flight some people never leave. Bert is always with me
This wonderful man inspired me to start playing guitar in 1969. 20 years later I met him in an Irish pub in London and was really sad that he hadn't gained the name he deserved. RIP Bert.
Who was sad - you or Bert? He inspired many, many people. He wasn't worried about his 'fame', he didn't need to. He walked tall, quite rightly commanded deep respect wherever he went. Bert & Pentangle blew the doors off the plop music, er, I mean pop music scene of the day, made a huge contribution. Remember flower power? Carnaby Street? In the late 60s?? Ford Anglias? LSE sit-ins? Afghan black & Afghan coats? LSD? And I walked down Sunny Goodge Street with the only women I have ever truly loved in my life! Thanks Bert.

You must have been my next door neighbour!

Bert and John.the soundtrack of my young's dreams.RIP
Bert is the master. It blows my mind to think about how much he drank yet still had the ability to play a guitar like a master. Don't know how you can write a song like Needle of Death yet still fall into a bad habit like alcoholism but it did not conquer him! He overcame and kept playing his tunes which are some of the best tunes ever written. One thing I've noticed about Bert and Jacqui is that at any point in time of their lives they play and sing together they are always tightly in sync. Such a strong connection, they're sound was made for one another. Thanks for the upload!
I swear, back in the early 1980's, that Yamaha had 12 strings!
But then, if you have 20 fingers, I guess it's not a big deal?
I recently discovered Bert Jansch through his L.A. Turnaround LP that Michael Nesmith produced in 1974. Just learned that he passed away a couple of years ago. Thank you for the music! RIP!!!
I first listened to Pentangle as well as Bert and John on solo records when I was 15, at the same time as i listened to the usual range of music available in the late sixties and early seventies. I could happily go the rest of my life without hearing most of what I really liked then. Moreover, i have to be in the mood to listen to the Stones or Quicksilver or the Allman Bros, whereas Pentangle is always a pleasur - robust and timleless music that still stands up. Thanks for posting!

I've been watching and learning from Bert Jansch and John Renbourn since the 60's when they were with Pentangle . This concert is pure gold ! He's a lighthouse of a guitarist and songwriter .
7 years later the incredible Bert Jansch was to leave this earth, suffering from throat cancer
Jacquie's singing is just effortlessly cool
Bert's "Birthday Blues" is one of the great albums in my collection.
I want this,omg what a treasure I've found 😍
The generosity of spirit in Bert's music is so contagious if you have the ears to hear it.
"Running from Home, " with Ralph McTell is fantastic.
Starts and ends with a Jackson C Frank tune. The circle was completed
This seems to be the best video recording of Bert Jansch on the internet.
Credit where it's due to bbc4 to preserve a truly great musician.
James Faulder Yeha - where would we be if not for the BBC ? So much would have been lost - so many beautiful moments uncaptured. We are indeed lucky :)

I think he must have changed his youtube name after I wrote that. not important really - we're only here for the jansch :)
j'adorais Bert Jansch et John Renbourn quand j'avais 17 ans. Un jour je me suis fait voler les 33 tours que j'avais d' eux ensemble ou séparément et je me suis dit que jamais plus j'écouterai ANJI ou les autres morceaux (c'était en 1980). Et voilà que je les retrouve maintenant avec you tube et des personnes qui les aiment autant que moi. Mêmes émotions ! quelques larmes aussi. Merci à tous.
Met him once and really cool guy got me a drink,always amazing and totally unique style,rip Bert.
Ralph McTell and Bert here absolute totall harmony twin guitars played by both absolutly beautiflllness.
I’ve never really listened to Ralph McTell until this. What a fantastic voice he had
I just found out about the existence of this amazing artist five minutes ago, yet many of my heroes and references were his fans. Well, better late than never. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
Definitely...things happen when they're supposed to - if you'd heard it at another time, it may not have taken hold of you the way it did just now...I found him a few years ago and I'm glad I did...as a guitarist, I was amazed I'd never heard his name mentioned at any point... so much good music 🎶
I saw him play with Pentangle the last time before his death
@@sjkyte630 Very cool. Where was that? Was it at a festival?
Catch up Gui. There is so much good stuff there. I had the good fortune of seeing Bert at the first gig he played in London. Started to follow him and we became friends. He has been my musical inspiration for many years. RIP Bert.
Sweet strings that sing and a voice unique that surrounds you and holds you.
when i was a young teenager way back then, in chiswick, i first heard bert jansch, the blue album and my life was changed from that point onwards...
Fantastic... What a superb guitarist and a wonderful human being.... Thanks to those for providing this show for us .... Rest in peace Bert... You deserved a far greater audience in your life.
Older music is far better than the stuff you here today love all their music
Running from home making dreams of my own
Saw the man twice at the legendary Marquee Club on Wardour Street in Soho back in the days. Unforgettable.
michathielen1 so fortunate
This guy plays the Fck outta that guitar! No simply strum chords here, he's all over the neck constantly. This is a innovative professional. Awesome playing, Brilliant!
What a treat! - and what a numpty I was ,not listening to these people 40 years ago!
I was …never stopped!
I love his singing and playing very much. One of a kind.
appreciated his honors to davy graham
His music makes me feel stuff. So good.
Bert J and John Renbourn in the same group was amazing.Jack Orion inspired me to stop shredding my Fender,and start playing acoustic guitar.I still own both but the acoustic has a lot more miles on it
WHAT AN ALBUM 👌
I fist became aware of Bert from an interview Jimmy Page did in Trouser Press back in 1976. He'd mentioned that Bert lost his ability to play from arthritis in his hands. Wondering what it was that helped him to overcome this obstacle so well. His abilities seemed effortless on this recording. You'd never know that he's ever missed a beat. What an incredible talent ! Thanks for posting.
Now Jimmy Page is in his 70s and he too was suffering from arthritis
The BBC doing what they do best , capturing a piece of musical history . Sadly Bert is no longer with us and at this time of year I would be going to my annual Bert gig at the Edinburgh festival , alas no more , Thanks for posting this video .
I can definitely hear how Nick Drake would have been influenced by Bert.
Bert breaks rules, but they were rules which he meant to break and his music is all the richer for it. This music reminds me of the way a stream flows and eddies round the contours of the bank that guide it. Spiraling pools of liquid composition, forming, breaking and reforming as the body of the music flows. Thanks Bert. RIP
@mark totton the ebb and the flow
I was thinking about Nick as well. Thanks for sharing.
A lot of artists are influenced by Bert!
Stunningly stunning
I always gravitate towards this concert Laphroaig and Gibson in hand or not.. It has a spiritualism that escapes me religiously, regretfully.. Came to you via The Smiths and Nick Drake but every river has a tributary. You are very special to me and many others X
Bert took 'Anji' from Davey Graham and found he just coulnd't stop playing it - it is such a fine, addictive tune for any guitarist. Then came Paul Simon, who learned the song from Bert Jansch, found he just couldn't stop playing it while residing in England and playing his guitar as a one-man band; Simon put it on one of the S&G albums. Along came Harry Sacksioni, the Dutch guitar virtuoso, and a big S&G fan, not in the least because PS is a fine guitarist. Harry picked up the tune, added a number of embellishments, and turned it into a happy showpiece on a - mind you - nylon string guitar. I bought Harry's album in 1976, then Paul Simon's album in 1980, then Bert Jansch' album in 1985, and last of all Davey Graham's album only recently.
I really love all the versions and most performances of Angie (as Graham called it) or Anji (as it was called since Bert made it his own) and guess what? I found that I just can't stop playing it. It has been on my list of favourites for 35 years, and still I didn't get enough of it. Take that capo, 2nd fret (for me, that is) and my fingers just find those chords, those picks, that playfulness. I think it is a guitarist's favourite more than a listener's favourite, but what the heck.
So thank you for keeping that flame, and passing it on to many of us, Bert!
Video time!!! I would love to see you play it.
Me too (as they say)
It's a very hard song to stop playing once you start. The rhythm is addictive when you get inside it. Capo 3 for me
Love your summary/commentary! And I love playing it, no matter the spelling ;-)
yeah except Graham called it Angi/Anji, Jansch called it Angie.
Bendigedid 🏴 Pentangle at the Horseshoe Hotel, Tottenham Court Road, London. Great days, I was about seventeen going on seventy, now I’m seventy going on twelve (according to my wife)
Thank you Bert, Thank you John,,,,they lined up down the streets to see you! Rest and there will be music in the Kingdom.......angels with guitars now.......
--- Absolutely stunning. A very great moment. ---
Would be Anne Briggs had been there...Wonderful show, the best to Bert Jansch, RIP.
my life is complete
I CALL THE CONCERT YELLOW MOON SO SORRY IT IS CRIMSON MOON. THIS CONCERT FOOTAGE WOULD BO VERY GRATEFULL IF THIS WAS RELEASED ONTO A DVD. THIS IS ONE OF OUR TRUEST BEST FINGER PICKING GUITARESTS THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN AND HEARD. THIS IS ABSOLUTLY SHEER BEAUTY PLAYED WITH HEARTFELT LOVE TOYOU BERT R. I. P. .YOU WILL PLAY ON IN HEAVEN FOR EVER MORE BERT WE CAN STILL HEAR YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER. BLESS YOUR OWN SWEETEST HEART WITH MUCH AFFECTIONATE LOVE FOR THIS BEAUTIFULL FOOTAGE..XXX BIG TIME.
I love his music then and I still do.
It's the only guitar I hear sound divine when equipped with a pizzo pickup and internal pickup. It's the first time that I haven't been disgusted by the sound of one of these electro-acoustic guitars. It is fabulous !
Took me over 40 years but I found my favourite guitarist. Never knew anything about the folk revival or indeed folk at all until recently. Glad I do now.
goooosebumps without an ending.....saw him 35 years ago..my great hero...he is still with us.....
Thank you! I wish he were still with us.
A great artist, passionated and sincere and a master of the intricate finger picking. What touch me the most is his voice which gives me each time goose bumps and chills
This is great, Bert was a true artist and great guitar player, what struck me was Johnny Marr and Bernard Butler played very eloquently on the songs they played and proved themselves as pretty good musicians too.
Johnny and Bernard are two of the most skilful, original and sensitive guitarists to come post punk so it's no surprise they respect and do justice to a master like Bert.
You wouldn't find Noel Gallagher holding his own like that!
@@Kingrizla-fm2rr tha emotional presence Noel can express with His playing might have flowed with Bert ...
Thank you Bert 🙌🌈
Thank you. Thank you.
wonderful stuff - how we all tried to play Strollin' down the highway and Anji back in the day ...
I'm STILL trying to master those two pieces! Love 'em.
Last time I saw Bert he was sprawled on the floor in the toilets of the Red Lion pub; he still played before and after though. All acoustic in those days of course - no mikes, no stage, packed out and you could hear a pin drop. How I wish/hope those settings and atmospheres could/will return. We do sometimes get them here in Ireland.
@@jamesdonalfaulkner funnily enough, I bumped into in a small club in demark street. when i was in the loo, just a few mins later he was on the stage, when i say stage it was less than a 12 inches tall
@@briandunn2807 Those were the days, my friend...
Bob Dylan once said, "Me and Joan Baez.. we could sing together in our sleep." Same deal with Bert and Jacqui... tight as tight ever gets.
This is fantastic! Thanks for putting it up for the world to share.
The master at work.

excelente guitarrista y gran cantante ¡que bien suena en directo! ¡ pena que nos haya dejado!
Two Great Talents singing together, Bert and Ralph. Doesn't get any more special than this. Thanks so much for posting this video. Wonderful t hear "Moonshine". Quite possibly my favorite song of all time.
As good as it gets. Thankyou. R.
a beautiful document!
I first heard Bert Jansch on the Vanguard Lucky 13 compilation. This was in the mid-1960's and I wore it out.
"Anji" & "Lucky 13" are two of my favorites from that album.
so wonderful, thank you 4 sharing this...
I like the two Jackson C Frank songs he played :) Carnival is a great song.
Carnival is a classic.

bert live at burton on trent art centre years ago what a great night a joy.a one man band
We saw Jacquui and Renbourn in a small club in Chicago- superb.
I first came across Bert through Pentangle's Basket of Light album (which I still have on vinyl). I bought several albums featuring acoustic guitarists, but the one track always stuck in my mind was "Needle of Death" played by Bert.
That song still makes me cry again and again! The saddest song I have ever heard!
Fantastic
I can confirm that is sounds great.
Bert and Johnny Marr should have worked together more. They really clicked in these performances. Their version of I've Got A Feeling is perfect. Jacqui's voice is amazing as it was back in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Wonderful performance.
Knowing nothing of Johnny Marr's recorded music or that of The Smiths (I went to high school with some serious Smiths appreciators and devotees, almost cult-like in their devotions and yet their tastes grew on other types of muses and music as we grew).
This BBC filmed event of Jansch's 60th B-Day with Marr so delicately slipping to sit in on electric has me agreeing wholeheartedly with you @AnthonyMonaghan. Marr and Jansch shoulda worked together while Bert was still physically up to it. Not for marketing or cashing in on rock bona fides, simply cuz they seem to have such a casual, comfortable listening zone they are in when playing with each other and others. Oh for those folk listening and inter-playing "sit-in" basket house rooms and cafes and after gigs and roadhouse drinks the quiet apartment floors for hushed light pickin' and strummin' of whatever was in the air.
It took Jacqui McShee her first song and tentative harmony onstage to then ease into the zone and hearing Jansch so delicately enlarge his own guitar arrangement comfort zone improvising into McShee to where she actually took to scatting through the "Train" song is poetry in motion.
A way of recalling Thom Gunn performing his motorcycle pomes like "On the Move" from his early book of pomes Sense of Movement and after moving from the UK to No Cal from his communal house-hold life around San Francisco and Berkeley-Oakland East Bay coastal hills through biker Contra Costa County of the Sacramento River valleys and more rural North Bay Area Sierra to the Sea foothills winding roads.
You could call them a movement of poets sensing movement through heightened and often stilled perceptive senses.

Wonderful. Thank you for posting this.
LOL, it's his 60th Birthday Concert and he does most of the playing and singing. Great to hear him.
thanks for this wonderful video!
Many thanks for posting & sharing this gem!
40:15 such a great song and collaboration.
Thank you, Thank you.
This song has helped me through some of the hardest times of my life.
I am glad somebody else sees the incredible genius of these 2 playing alongside each other.
"Ever yes,ever no" sung by Bert alone at that "other" birthday concert back in 91/92 is my favourite...with Bert it´s all about freedom
thanks for posting this!
Thank you for posting my dream gig ..
Actually all the song titles come up on screen as the vid plays, but I have added the full tracklist above in the description for convenience :)
thanks for this from a long time fan of Bert! :)
I was at this show, which was incredible. Such an amazing guitarist. I remember wondering why John Renbourn wasn't there, however.
absolutey lovely, great to see this vid of Bert, one of my old time hero's. Thx for sharing this! Ernst
This is the reason for the Internet.
