BERT WEEDON in concert 

Absolutely fabulous to see you and Bert sharing the stage Barry! What an honour it must have been! To think that the first piece of vinyl I ever held in my chubby little hand as my own was Bert Weedon's Ginchy, in 1961...

Hi Barry thank you for sharing this, very rare to find videos of Bert playing live but this must have been a great experience for you to play with him. Great show and was a pleasure to watch. Regards Dale

I backed Bert several times in the 70's lovely man and entertainer.

Fab - thanks Barry for sharing this special piece of footage

Great upload, thanks! Play in a Day” got me started back in ‘78. Watching this inspired me to buy a set of Bert Weedon style picks online….Pentagon Plectrums ;)

Thanks for posting...I have some Bert Weedon recordings here in Hollywood. I never knew what he looked like. He gets a lot out of his guitar (Guild?) without any effects.

Outside of a few old records, I’ve never heard Bert’s playing Yes…he’s not going for any displays of virtuoso speed, or clever tricks The melodies here are relatively unadorned with flash, or effects However, that belies Bert’s abilities as an arranger; he never hides behind scale runs or whammy bar histrionics. Take for example I Just Called To Say I Love You-the way he subtly slips in and out of the notes to keep internet without compromising the melody or being repetitive Also his encore of Hava Negila…it’s familiar enough that everyone can join in, and ideal for gradually speeding up and showing off, without it becoming meaningless A lesson for us all!
