John Martyn.and David Gilmour- - " One World "( HQ ) 

I saw John Martyn so many times - sometimes two or three nights in a row. I met him once at a Radio promo recording in Lothian Road in Edinburgh, and one afternoon, bizarrely I was listening to John Martyn with my window wide open and he walked past my flat into the pub across the road. Amazing, amazing music from what appears to be a tortured soul. This was his outlet. And it is utterly incredible.

I am still buying his albums today. Not quite found them all yet, but I shall persevere.😊

2 great musicians not trying to be clever just making one gorgeous sound. marvellous.

The Nelson in Hastings was a favourite haunt of John's he left a big mark on many peoples lives with his heartfelt harmonics loved him to bits ❤

Love love the fretless bass playing by Allan Thomson.

Would follow John around his London gigs back in 1972 like a little lost kitten, this man and his music meant so much 2 me.

I first heard John in 75, dropped acid with a friend who played me 73’s ‘Solid Air’. What an introduction to this marvellous musical genius. One of my most musically formative moments, played that album over and over that night and onward into the future.

So much emotion in his voice I can’t help crying every time I hear this.

Picking out John Martyn's most beautiful songs is well nigh impossible, but this song - and especially this performance - has a better claim than average. I imagine John is playing this on a regular basis for the Angels in Heaven. It's not of this world. Beauty overload. As Richard Thompson wrote "God Loves a Drunk." And as he also wrote "Maybe That's Just the Price You Pay For the Chains You Refuse." As an alcoholic I don't believe most of us are searching for oblivion, we're searching for ecstasy. John Martyn hit the mark. The best I can do is love the man and his music.

Gorgeous. The OGWT version of this song with Danny Thompson is the best - has a real psychedelic feel to it. John was the real deal. I saw him live many times, including the shortest gig I ever saw, where he fell off the stage tuning up, and was carried away!

What a real legend, seeing him live a few times still comes back every time I hear the amazing voice and each perfect pluck on that guitar. 😊

you lucky person to have discovered the incredible music of the late genius mr john martyn

One minute of john martyn change your mood for the rest of the day...

my Amazing uncle, really does me proud :) r.i.p

I remember him coming to play in HMP Long Lartin. I’ll never forget him for that. God Rest John.

So sad that John left us before his time. The last time I saw him was in De Barras in Clonakilty in Ireland sometime around 04. At that stage he had lost a leg. He still blew us away. Legend.

I first heard this song from the album of the same name 30 plus years ago and it stuck in me and still is there today. Seeing this version for the first time....an absolute masterpiece and testimony to John's incredible talents.He left the world so much beautiful music.

I played on the same bill with John way back in '71, had a chat with him backstage, what a nice guy, friendly and communicative intelligent great musician, his music will live forever.

Tears fall for a lost master, and I DO mean John Martyn. Such ethereal beauty here.

Met John when he lived in Roberton in Scotland and had a right few drinks with him a long long time ago...lovely guy.

Just stumbled upon this and watched/listened in stunned silence. Two of my favourite musicians sharing the stage! Can't get much better :)

A true Giant. I first saw him in 1968?, QEH, supporting Fotheringay, he had a Yamaha Fg180 and an echo plex. Blew me away. And then he strode through the foyer, barefoot, and seemed to encapsulate everything you'd want to be. Died too young

really beautiful. You're gone but not forgotten John Martyn.

He goes directly to my soul..what a sensible artist

I'm in bits watching this sublime, exquisite performance, just over 3 years since your passing John. Couldn't love (& miss) you more. xx

This gentleman is one of the GREATEST musicians in history!!! Small Hours is incredible... Respect to Gilmour!!!

Why after so many years I now find this artist? Amazing how this all works.

Boy just fucking oozed talent. Had the privilege of seeing live on a couple of occasions, greatly missed. Thanks for the legacy John.

One of my top JM favourite songs, and this may just be my favourite rendition ever; Im listening as I write. Absolutely beautiful. To me, music doesnt come any better than this-and a masterclass in guitar from two exponents who utilise the electric guitar to create atmosphere. In that respect, their approach to the guitar is similar (as Gilmour hinted in the pre TV interview). Im glad Gilmour is still around. There was only one John Martyn and he will not be replaced. This is a genuine classic.

John martyn may you rest in peace brother.

The world is so alien to me as a child growing up in a civilised and secure society. This music is from the angels and so far from the rubbish of the Voice, X-Factor etc... it is an expression of the heart and the lonely heart we all have if only we admit it.....

This man still finds ways to touch me in the heart even though he’s gone. This is a sublime example of his ability to pour his soul out with his lyrics his voice and that guitar. God I miss him

Had the priviledge to be at these Shaw Theatre gigs and was worried that Mr Gilmore would fill in all the space. It was an excellent collaboration and could not have been easy finding notes to play on standard tuned guitar when John was in CFCCGD and still keep the vibe. Many thanks for posting.

💓🌊 His voice, the guitar... oh

Pure genius, deserves a billion likes!

Two great guitarists - not a shred in sight! :) Happiness!

I remember watching this on 'The Apprentice' VHS video. I had the pleasure of seeing John Martyn at Ritzy's nightclub in Aberdeen with keyboard player + drum machine in 1989. It was a tiny place. I also saw JM in Cambridge at The Junction when it was a beer stained gig venue. He had the full band, including saprano sax player and real drummer! That was a terrific gig. He was so into it playing Angeline that he could hardly speak. Such an emotional performer! I remember the 'Poland' keyboard!

John was a fabulous guitarist, and an even better vocalist.

The level of talent, artistry, musical beauty and sadness on display here is almost too much.

Never too late to say that John Martyn was a True Artist who went above and beyond from the early Island years until the very end. Pure Genius

Saw John martyn many times from the grace and danger tour onwards. I loved how he never played a song the same way twice. Would love to have heard him play acoustic but he was at a different stage of his journey then. Still awesome. Saw him in the half moon in Putney. Tiny room, full band, brilliant.

RIP John and thanks for the music

No words needed. Amazing. ..beyond amazing. Straight from the soul. ...straight into the soul. Wow.

Loved john. So did all the greats. These two brought out some of the best of each other here. Great show and check out the version of John Wayne. Best ever imo. Oh to have been there

You forgot to mention his best mate Phil Collins. Grace and Danger, Glorious Fool two of his absolute best recordings.

John was made of music, he couldn't have done anything other than make this stuff. that's my definition of genius... Some memories are special and make you smile, the memories of seeing him live do that to me...the best times

I still think this is pure magic when and where WTF enjoy!

John and Beverly Martyn!!! Simply sublime!!! Always loved your music and still do. Thanks to Mick H. for turning me on to this wonderful stuff!!! 🇨🇦

Some of us live like princes Some of us live like queens Most of us live just like me We don't know what it means To take our place in one world To make our peace in one world To make our way in one world To have our say in one world If you ain't got two words to say Then I can't talk to you No use crying, there's been no crime I say it's just the way the wind blows Just the name of the game The way of the world, way of the world Just the way of the world Just the way of the world So cold and lonely Cold and lonely Cold and lonely world Such a cold and lonely Cold and lonely Cold and lonely world It's just a cold and lonely world It's one world, like it or not It's one world, believe it or not It's one world It's one world, believe it or not One world, like it or not It's one world Some of us live like princes Some of us live like queens Most of us live just like me And we don't know what it means To take our place in one world To take our place in one world To make our loving in one world Make our way in one world It's one world, one world, one world

Still my favourite John Martyn track of all time. Much missed

If everyone had his heart, what a World it would be ... truly a One World ... God Bless you Johnny ... RIP ...

Lovely performance by both John and David.

A literal masterpiece.

The genius of John Martyn all the space for the soul to breathe between the drizzle and the drop .......

He evoked so much emotion with his voice.

Gets me every time. Just beautiful.

Dearest John …..I miss you so much big man….you’re music was part of the sound track of my life. Music such as this comes along only once in a life time and I’m so glad it was in mine. Saw you only once ( Reading university….it was enough to get me hooked for life).

They truly speak the same language. Amazing. Thank you. ❤️

Oh that’s lovely … the best version I have heard by far..

Brilliant! Two Greats on stage doing a great song

A lot of creative artists have troubled lives just look back.I was lucky to see John 3 times and he was never short of amazing, unique ,inspirational and I always left vowing to set fire to my guitars.Now in later life I am learning some of his songs from various tutorials.Wow what a man .Agree he is to under rated.Love to hear you later.

This is soooo good !

This sounds heartbreaking after a bottle of the finest red . So sad he has gone

saw him twice many moons ago at low key gigs - for me he’s right up there as in soul toutching masterclass - hits me where others barely touch the surface

That moment when Gilmour is your session musician... kidding))) R.I.P. John!!!

This can't be an easy tune to play live, there are so many different colors of sound and harmonies.

Saw him many times...The Grand, Clapham in the 90's...generously handing reefers out to the crowd ! The last time at the South Bank Oct 2008. His "Solid Air" album is always No1 of the 8 to take to the desert Island.

i'm floating in space

Then I can’t talk to you No use crying, there’s been no crime I say it’s just the wind blows Just the name is the game.... Oh, it’s such a special song

It doesn't get much better than this. JM produced music that transcended the genres of pop music. This is naked soul music.

Just a beautiful performance !

I never get fed up of hearing or watching this track, I've got it on cd, cassette tape, video and now dvd. Simply genius.

Magnificent.

Just watched a performance by Hendrix in 1970...great but...in was John who took the electric guitar forward from there. "make our way in one world.." Beautiful John... beautiful Beverley...

Oh, This irascible man...such a bugger to get on with...such an angel...such wonderful singing...and with the master of the bends...his Gilmourness...Oh...if I die listening to this I'd be happy.....would somebody buy me an echoplex? Love You all......this song reminds me of Steve Place for some reason....look him up if you want a bespoke YURT...he's such a sweet guy...BXXX.

He's a fortunate man. He left a Musical Legacy that is second to none.

Why is it we only recognise genius when it is no longer with us?ps:The bass player on this is really superb

Love that man and his music!!!

Saw him in Sheffield at a folk club in 1968 - good night.

one of my favorite artists ever ! john martyn is truly a genius! and will be missed...

I'm going to play "May You Never" as one of my two numbers as my contribution to our virtual folk club tomorrow (Home Stage UK). I realise, listening to this astonishing version of "One World", that if you try to play like John Martyn you've got no chance. However, if you channel some of his spirit you can achieve absolutely anything. God bless you geezer, Love never dies.

Such a blissful pairing of sensual/sensory musical sensibilities.

how amazing. reminds me of rolling ocean waves coming into the shore

Absolutely perfect and absolutely magical! 🕉

seen john at glasgow green 1990,runrig were playing mainstage and he was playin in a tent adjasent,,,,walking by with a cone in my hand ,,,this strange sound drew me in that night,, tent was packed he was rokin and i was blown away,that was me hooked,,me and my mate spent many a night after partying listening to the wonder,, trying wind down but still racing and your tunes carried us through perfectly until dawn ,,miss you john

i just love dave gilmour. that spacey sound

Such a smooth, open sound - beautiful beyond words. Flawless performance.

So beautiful! Searched for Pink Floyd One World and came here, wonderful surprise! ♥

Wonderful, what more is needed.

Never forget you dear John R.I.P.

This man sang with enormous feelings and in my opinion was the dogs bollocks.

There was a day a long time ago when I remember spending the weekend a John and Annie's cottage. That old tiny church were we played around with music before Annie died. John is gone now too but we still remember the beautiful copper guitar he gave us as a wedding gift.

so Special so great part of my life - thx john

So astoundingly good!

This is wonderful but I'd love to see Dave Gilmour a posthumous credit to John for 'Allons-y' from Pink Floyd's 'The Endless River'... as it's clearly an instrumental re-working of 'Grace & Danger'. John Martyn's troubled and inspired work deserves so much more appreciation.

Dear unique John, I miss you too much. Really too much...

RIP wish John would have taken better care of himself. But to have David Gilmour play with you says what a great musician he was . He left us some great music.

This is just truly awesome.

Wow - I'm transported!
