- A rare instance of Bert & John performing together (albeit jamming at the end of two solo sets on a shared bill) post-Pentangle and before their brief early 90s reunion. The audio comes from a cassette acquired in the 80s. There appears to be a bootleg CD available online - I've no idea if the sound is better than my cassette source, which I've enhanced as far as possible with non-pro gear. The highlight must surely be Bert's 8-minute solo rendition of 'Avocet' - I'm not aware of any other purely solo recording of this tune from the 70s.

What I would do to go back 40 years in time and drink a beer in a crowded smokey dive listening to John and Bert without all these new antisocial regulations. R.I.P. Bert & John.
ooooh I listened to the radio transmission in 1979
Avocet is out of this world.
thanx colin!!!
Bert wasn’t kidding when he said his favorite thing was scotch, bourbon and beer. All these years later and sometimes I feel the tragedy of his loss line it was yesterday. Thanks for this rare treat.
This is fantastic. Both sound at the top of their game. I reckon the Black Balloon , parts of which are played here, is one of the great acoustic guitar albums
Used to see both these guys and Davey Graham in 80s n 90s London ...feel fortunate.
i am literally practicing my German listening skills with this
How have I missed this upload.

Thanks for posting this. It's great to hear Renbourn and Jansch.
Blackwater Side. Still remains one of his more culturally significant pieces. Dig what this great late guitarist has left us.

There is this other solo live recording of Avocet, in Santa Cruz in 1978.

I had a feeling there was another from Japan, but the only live Japanese one I can find now also has Martin Jenkins.
