John Martyn, OBE (11 September 1948 -- 29 January 2009), born Iain David McGeachy, was a British singer-songwriter and guitarist. Over a forty-year career he released twenty studio albums, working with artists such as Eric Clapton and David Gilmour. He has been described by The Times as "an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues".[
Thumbs up if you believe J.Martyn "IS" J.Wayne, "Every Thursday".
Humble Genius.
What a great version of this song. Mesmerising!!!
a genius. saw him maybe 15 times.. each time an almost spiritual experience. his songbook is the soundtrack to my life. much missed.
It must be an absolute pleasure for the God Gilmour to play with an artist so challenging and singularly equal and obliquely different. Not a regular occurence for him, I’d guess.
the crazy man john martyn impeccable creds a firecracker of a song the madness grows on you, like a duck to water????????
There are good musicians, stylistic musicians, great artists and singers and then there's John Martyn. His ideas and his execution of them was genius. "John Wayne," with its Arabian nights music, progressive rock leanings, from an English folk-rock singer-songwriter -- and Martyn's insane, aggressive and dynamic vocal declaration that he is John Wayne, absolutely marvelous. Classic. RIP John -- thanks for leaving this behind for us.
John was Scottish
John LaStrada I wish I had been able to articulate it so well. Top comment
John LaStrada big legge
jools Pirog what was the band that christened waynee the big leggie
John m mcgeachy rock on ( speechless)
John Martyn was so feckin good, a headcase genius, there is nothing like him now, well there wasn't back in the day either.
John Martyn & Band with Dave Gilmour at Shaw Theatre, London, 31 March 1990...THANX !
Had the privilege of seeing this guy play this live twice and it was amazing. The great thing was that you would see an A4 size poster advertising the gig for the next day, the gig would sell out in a day. I seen him play with the band and solo in a festival setting, a 3000 seat hall and a 300 intimate venue playing solo and every time the man stood his ground and played an amazing set. He is sadly missed. R.I.P. John
John Martyn is what happens when inspired genius meets a talented and a very human musician. So sad that he's not around any more, and particularly that this video has so few views.
It's almost like a religious experience listening to this, so powerful, so cool. I never really liked the album version but this is something very special indeed. I've since gone back and listened to all of his post acoustic phase, given it another go, and a lot of it has really grown on me. I'm a musician myself, a poor man's Stevie Ray Vaughan if you like, but John remains my all time favourite artist - narrowly followed by SRV.
Exceedingly underrated comment.
I completely agree with this 6 year old comment. Played this again this morning for the first time in a long time. His voice is pure power.
What a f@ckin groove!
I have been taken to a beautiful musical space here .
Try the small hours
First time listening to Jonn Martyn, and I love it😅
John Martyn, Michael Hedges, Jaco Prestorius, Eva Cassidy... GODS BAND!!!
John was a giant in every sense. Followed him regularly when he played the college circuit. Always inspiring - brilliant! Was lucky enough to share a few sherberts with him towards the end. We both ended up legless - although he had the edge in that respect! (Sorry, off-colour joke, but I'm sure he would approve...)
this song is incredible; thanks for this live version
I was there that night ...
Wish I could remember more of it
Man that was awesome... Big john. Big Dave..... big big smile
John Martyn est mon musicien préféré, il n"y a personne d'autre qui met autant d'intensité dans ce quil chante, il est la musique, le rythme, l'emotion et en plus il peut etre drole et dramatique a la fois..... il est parti trop tôt
This is one of those shows where I wonder if the audience knew the magnitude of what they were experiencing? This is truly awesome! If I had a time machine, I would be in the front row. WOW!!!
I think the real John Wayne would've been proud of this endeavor. It's big, strong & overwhelming in its beauty. John Martyn has always been good but this is one of his finest glorious moments. I simply can't watch shows like the AMA's, People's Choice Awards or Grammys anymore. When artists like Mr. Martyn are missing from those venues, hardly mentioned, never considered -- shameful. Maybe he would just upstage everyone. Ha. Teach 'em a lesson....John Wayne Martyn.
He was badass- one of the best
Saw him doing an impromtu gig in a pool hall in Glasgow next to te river in 1985 unbelieable the man's was fanatastic.
I love this song. Don't understand a f##ng word of it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 every Thursday
What an amazing performer and huge talent ! Whether he plays solo or with a full band he play with so much intensity it's just mind blowing
Never heard this before. Utterly wonderful!
One of my most surreal ( and proudest ) moments : being mistaken for John Martyn by an ( admittedly drunk ) bloke in the Faroe Islands where John's music had filtered up from the Shetlands that summer of 86. If you need any musical inspiration to accompany you along a circumnavigation of Iceland , then look no further than the Grace&Danger/Glorious Fool/Sapphire period - bleak and introspective but a perfect aural landscape to the volcanic barrenness of the North Atlantic islands.
Just incredible and done live, no studio recording of this can touch this live performance.
So much better than the album version. That voice could have started the universe with it's raw power.
Just lay down and soak this up. Best live recording of the 'Duke'.
Pure Magic. Doesn't get much better than this. RIP John. Love you Boss!
Marvelous - John in full flight.
Saturday night Sunday morning the family in bed asleep. Head phones on. Rocking to the beat. John Martyn letting it go with I am John Wayne.! Oh please, let me sleep!
I first John Martyn in a smoky basement at Brighton Art College in about 1970/71. Awesome then and awesome now - I find myself revisiting his music more and more. It is just very powerful, in a band or solo, electric or acoustic.
Mind blowing... Thanks for the post.
Thank you, again, for putting this up. May your God Bless you.
Love Light and Peace
Gaz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
this is a beautiful mix with the headphones on.
influences bouncing off each other,right before your very eyes.
This is new 2 me. Very interesting. I didn't knew this jazzy side of DG ( DG is not dolce & gabana - pleeeaaassee!!!). I simply love it. Thnx 4 sharing :)
pretty sure gilmour figured out the sax line about the second time in.... yep, at 3:45 hes not playing it, then he figures it out by 4:00. Thats called an ear.
Sublime
Outstanding! Literally grew up listening to 'One World'. Saw the dude play 3 time live in London and always left a deep impression (he played his 'Piece by Piece album at one concert and everyone, including myself, left that performance literally tripping:)
A demi-god of music! - Sadly missed... Will be remembered forever!
Genius .... that is all
The one that got away, wish you were there,? couldnt love youz more.....! Great Gig #
This music wooow thank you masters 🤙🏻 from Mexico 🇲🇽
I agree, totally awesome!!
brilliant
Got this back in early 90's , still fucking excellent
Sadly missed, an old aquaintance "Big John". but I still often listen to your songs
THAT is amazing! John was a genius.... Thanks for sharing.
Just Wow
just fucking wonderful RIP JM this is my go to song when my life situation gets to much to bare thank you
Stunning.
Love you John and miss you so much. If there is a god please, send me to his place of worship so that I may sin again, in a very nice way.
Love to you and all that you are.
Gaz xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When one guy says shoulder pads and the other says no I'm good, but they both made a purchase from Clarence Leo Fender that day you know it's going to sound alright!
Dadaist music.
Que bueno haberme vuelto a encontrar con este temon!
I know …. But do observeveveve John Martyn’s lovely minced steps ….
Great atmosperic playing, really took me away!
Miss you Johnny Boy
Glad i had that drink and puff with you.
Wow genial very nice J.C many thanks for sharing !!
Fabulous. Nice to see Radio One's Gary Davis on alto sax too ;-)
What a great find. Incredible to see Dave Gilmour as a sidekick. Then, not really anyone close to John and his inimitable stylings eh
+jools Pirog Thank you for both spelling and using the word 'inimitable' correctly.
+Matt Channing English was my 2nd language as a child so I wanted to use words well.
There are people whose first language is English that don't write it with as much care. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate it.
Alan Thompson on the bassssssss!
Genius.
Amazing piece of music, excellent video footage my friend, thumbs up! absolutely :)
Awesome!
Loved you JM, sorry that I only ever bought Solid Air and One World. Ignoring you're later output. Anyway your deid and I own only two Bowie albums too. You're right up there in folks hearts, big man.
Fuck sake, I love John Martyn. That's all I can say really. For anyone that's got their swagger on for a night out. I believe I'm John Wayne.
so obviously hammered here
Awesome
I have this on video but I've worn it out...need to get it on dvd...2 years on and still missing the Big Man...but looking forward to the new album with excitement tinged with a touch of sadness...
Nice session Bernard !
Great upload again !
Thanks a lot !

goated
Dave Gilmour: Legend indeed, maybe you took a back foot on this one, buy JM owned this one!
John owned this.
Jungian? John Wayne. Archytype. This is so good.
Nice song
very nice
thx
der Hammer
Very Scottish sounding. Very powerful. Amazing only 31k views. Much more powerful then anything Floyd has ever done. RIP JOHN
In my ears, Gilmour is one of my hero guitarists...he never really found his way into the Martyn sound though...something he'll always regret I think....no choice now I suppose
freezzz!
Immense, have this tucked away on VHS somewhere!
wow ! what`s with the sound !?!?!?!! Nicee
There's some freak on the stage
fuck,,just open mouthed,,no words,,
hugeness
I will always personally prefer John solo or with Danny Thompson... but this song is great, and that is one killer sax riff :)
🎉
Every Thursday !
awesome thankyou -al
I'd pay money to know what he was yelling in the mic at the beginning
Lots of Tokyo Express involved here lol.
@tubzinblu Thank You ! I stand Corrected
so amazing. is there any other song that has runs similar to what the sax plays? love it
Many thanks for this! Is this from a DVD or tape that is or has been available at some point?I knew about this Gilmour+Martyn concert (s?) but have only ever seen one vid (here on utube-look at that girl-Scots TV). This is a nice discovery.
Was John Martyn's move away from acoustic towards rock guitar and a more prog feel in 1977 facilitated by his association with Phil Collins?
right turn clyde
Note the Ensoniq ESQ1.
Allan forgot to tune his bass.....or he put his fingers wrongly in the beginning🤔😎
