John Martyn - In Concert 390
Review by Hal Golden
In Concert 390 by John Martyn is a live album that captures the essence of the musician's captivating performances. The album features recordings from various concerts in 1979, showcasing Martyn's unique blend of folk, blues, and jazz music.
The album opens with the upbeat and funky track "Big Muff," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Martyn's soulful voice and intricate guitar work shine through on tracks like "Solid Air" and "May You Never." The live setting adds an extra layer of energy and emotion to the already powerful songs.
One of the highlights of the album is the 13-minute long "Outside In," which showcases Martyn's improvisational skills and his ability to create a mesmerizing atmosphere with just his voice and guitar.

There is no way The Edge didn't absorb some of JM sound right here...insanely good. DANNY AND JOHN wow
Awesome.
An absolute genius his tuning and inventions are truly fascinating to this day! Listen to this kids, it’ll make you boogie..xx
OMFG, i found Danny with him!!!
I just LOVE this. So talented and soulful.
Where's the money?
gone way too soon.......
Where's the money indeed!! Up some company exec's nose probably.
These days are gone. Never see people like this again. THANK HEAVENS FOR YOUTUBE!!
Ten years ago a saw a little snippet of this video was in the John Martyn documentary 'Johnny Too Bad'. I Tried everywhere to find it but it was nowhere to be found on youtube until now. 'The Dynamic Duo' incredible stuff! John is definitely one of the unsung great guitarists with a sound and style all of his own.
He has such a Jim Morrison meets David Gilmore thing going on! Can't believe I didn't find his work sooner. Fantastic!!!
Absolutely love this. Best version ever. And "where's thhe money " at the end. Priceless ?
Makes Radiohead seem like they’re just spoiled children who’ve been recording themselves collectively wetting the bed over and over.
Absolutely amazing. Such raw talent. John and Danny were a rea true partnership. As someone said "all fun and games, till the music starts"
Looks like whispering Bob liked when John was on the show

Deze twee rakkers voelen elkaar aan een feestje elke keer weer
When effects pedals were still novel.
But it is very tasteful...
But it is very tasteful...
After viewing this performance, is it any surprise that Eric Clapton was FAN of John Martyn’s?
1 person needs slapping with a trout for ?
And the great Danny Thompson.
