At 37.18, what a beautiful take on the Robert Burns poem, the melody and musical genius is sublime and Karen Mathieson is superb as the Scottish vocalist.
The fellow in the beard playing the violin "sorry don't know his name" you can see he's mastered his instrument. All others playing the violin look like its a chore keeping up, he look like he's thinking about adding a second story on to his home. Well done!!

We had visions in the night I was scared and you held me tight It was like we were in black and white As clear as day, as dark as night And the truth became a lie There was no longer peace of mind Just fear of the unknown and the unkind And then when he undressed me And took my body I was resolute to being fine Now the soldiers are all on fire And our hearts are dead from desire And when you say it has nothing to do Nothing to do with you, you're a liar Now the sky is filled with dust Of those we loved and those we lost Rebuild the tower Make it last longer Make it stronger Give up your power (Martha Wainwright lyrics)
Despite of all the great music you can listen to in the sessions... the best and most interesting bit starts at 1:27:12 with the "Behind The Sessions"... Very interesting and so much fun indeed!

Said to myself "maybe it's tilme for John Taylor to join in" ... then John came with "Mill Worker" ... now waiting for a nice rendition of "Borders of Salt" ... ♥
I love the song Martha performs at 1:12. I don't know its author. Anybody know? I know it has nothing to do with Leonard Cohen's song, Tower of Song, which is totally different, both lyrics and music. Thank you for the information!
Funny you should say that. He used to bring sandwiches to Pentangle rehearsals much to Bert and John’s amusement. Horseshoe Hotel in Tottenham Court Road. Good old days.
Dobro Wars - the basic point missed by Nigel is that this is not just HIGHLAND MUSIC - but the two traditions with their common roots in many instances. Transatlantic is meant to indicate Both Sides Now!
It should be mandatory that they do at least 1 session EVERY year!!! Best thing on CZcams! SAOR ALBA!!!!!
Great to see this session again, I never grow tired of listen to such talent, thank you.
Brilliant! Great to have it on youtube. Many thanks. (Watched it originally on tv. In England. Can now enjoy again while living in Austria.).
Me too Paul !!! I"ve also had the pleasure of seeing them a few times live on Stage. 'They're Awesome'.
WONDERFUL CHEMISTRY AND AMAZING TALENT ALL IN ONE ROOM YEEEHAW !!!!!
Irish music has a melancholic note yet with a positive energy to it. I really like it. Its just like life.
At 37.18, what a beautiful take on the Robert Burns poem, the melody and musical genius is sublime and Karen Mathieson is superb as the Scottish vocalist.
Aye shivers up the spine stuff..
This music brings me happiness,sadness.exhiliration, the whole gamut. Just absolutely marvelous!!!
The fellow in the beard playing the violin "sorry don't know his name" you can see he's mastered his instrument. All others playing the violin look like its a chore keeping up, he look like he's thinking about adding a second story on to his home. Well done!!

Thanks for set list
Thanks! Very helpful!
Very useful to have a full set list to search for sources of tunes & songs.Thank You Briany m...!!!
This interpretation brings to mind Kurt Weil, Berthold Brecht and Lotte Lenya! Amazing!
This music sustains me....esp since the pandemic lockdowns (& isolation).
We had visions in the night
I was scared and you held me tight
It was like we were in black and white
As clear as day, as dark as night
And the truth became a lie
There was no longer peace of mind
Just fear of the unknown and the unkind
And then when he undressed me
And took my body
I was resolute to being fine
Now the soldiers are all on fire
And our hearts are dead from desire
And when you say it has nothing to do
Nothing to do with you, you're a liar
Now the sky is filled with dust
Of those we loved and those we lost
Rebuild the tower
Make it last longer
Make it stronger
Give up your power
(Martha Wainwright lyrics)
love it ! Every year !
hermoso amor por la musica!!
La música es la energía del alma

Wonderful. Do you think Danny makes the sandwiches as well?
Funny you should say that. He used to bring sandwiches to Pentangle rehearsals much to Bert and John’s amusement. Horseshoe Hotel in Tottenham Court Road. Good old days.

it's like they say in German "Kopfkino" (cinema inside the head)
In een woord geweldig!
Hooray! 2 tracks, from about 20, with no dobro. I love the dobro but the twang does not work with the highland music.
Hell yes! Just happy to find I'm not the only one who feels the same :D
Dobro Wars - the basic point missed by Nigel is that this is not just HIGHLAND MUSIC - but the two traditions with their common roots in many instances. Transatlantic is meant to indicate Both Sides Now!
A bit too much for sure. Like Vibes in a 50s-80s jazz band. Can be there, not essential, but if there cool and loose.
Me, I feel the dobro chimes with the pipes, I totally love it in this context, especially in the hands of The Master Himself.
I so wish that Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh's teacher had taught her the correct way to hold the bow ...
James Jamerson didn't play bass the 'correct' way
Brilliant..
