Been listening to Pentangle for nearly fifty years but never heard this song until a few weeks ago. Of course this was shot/recorded around 1970, but sounds so fresh and alive to my ears. What sweet beauty from great musicians. Funny that we can hear Renbourn but never see him even for a moment. It soothes my soul as I sit here recovering from a broken leg--not quite as traumatic as Jansch's broken heart must have been when he penned this.
1:59 when Terry Cox is giving it that face. I really don't think that there's a word for it in the English language but you know what he's thinking. And then the Bert/Jaqui crescendo... Danny's just like "yeah, this is how we roll" while waiting for his filthy skank to begin at 4:26, before that look at the end when he's the coolest cat you've ever seen having just shredded the wheat completely.
I grew up in the golden sixties and about the most artists/ groups i was able to say something, tilll ... i heard them... This is IT, and don't ask me how or whatever, i simply don't know how to express it.
Obviously what sets Pentangle apart from Fairport, et al is the Danny Thompson, Terry Cox SWING FACTOR!!!... this late stuff is their best with Bert and Jacqui harmonising like the devil and an angel side by side.
Fantastic upload!
