John Martyn & Danny Thompson - Spencer The Rover (Transatlantic Sessions, 5th April 1996) 

This is the most beautiful song ive ever heard

Thank you Danny Thompson.

When I found Johnny. I never lost him again. ❤️☮️

His life took him far away from home in a musical sense this was such a pleasure to see him home and at his pleasure ...the expressions postures and overall demeanour a word cannot describe I'm preserving this myself I don't want this to ever be taken down.

Johns voice is in fantastic form, what a pearl of a version

this man's voice could break your heart

I shook John's hand twice, but this is the first time I've heard this version. Thanks, Danny, for a lifetime of good tune & the good friends you've had.

My word i've been listening to this since I found it in 2009 and by God it gets even more powerful as I age

I couldn't keep my eyes dry listening to this one. Thank you!

I hope you read these comments, Danny. Thank you, just thank you!

Magic

Yes indeed , so much Beauty here!!..

Nice one Danny. You excelled on these sessions. Thank you for posting this.

This takes me back to 1973 to 75 ish - listening to solid air etc on wgbh from Georgetown university on fm… my first exposure to lots of amazing music - and whfs, high atop the triangle towers in Bethesda, mb lol

C'è una sofferenza e malinconia incredibile nella sua voce....ho sempre adorato John

this looks and sounds fantastic. very talented bunch of musicians.

thank you so much for putting those Transatlantic Sessions on youtube in high quality. Have been listining to them on youtube for 10 years and always in shitty quality. Finally I can hear and see everything. They are timless works of art and deserve to be enjoyed and listened to.

Love this and the May You Never performance from transatlantic sessions, such a great series.

yes, just yes.

Lovely stuff...

Sublime ☺️

How I miss you John

Oh yes!!

Aly Bain!

Great version. Would have been nice to maybe acknowledge the other musicians.

Doesn't need the extra musicians. John and Danny only stripped back version better.

Ms. Beverly Martyn, I am sorry to learn about you having to suffer so much through him. I know that was bad, bad. But one thing you are not right, his music. When he had an instrument, he is the best human in the world.

For John Martyn read Gordon Lightfoot .

Brilliant singer songwriter but a truly hideous domestic abuser , he deserves to rot in hell.
