He was \"an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues\" (The Times).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNick Drake, the melancholy songwriter born in Burma, now Myanmar, was a good friend and flatmate of John's and, like John Martyn, an insider tip on the singer\/songwriter scene for years. When Drake died in 1974, John Martyn had just gotten his career off the ground, signed a record deal with Island Records, and celebrated his first chart successes with his 1973 album \"Solid Air\", the title track of which was dedicated to the depressed Drake. In 1977 came the album \"One World\", the final breakthrough for John Martyn. An album with music somewhere between folk and jazz, recorded under the direction of Chris Blackwell with musicians such as Stevie Winwood and the Jamaicans Rico and Lee Perry. On this album, Martyn had already perfected his amazing virtuoso picking technique on the guitar, and he also created a unique sound by often running his acoustic guitar through a fuzzbox, phase shifter and above all Echoplex and other effects devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Martyn makes full use of this technique at the concert on March 17, 1978 in Hamburg's Audimax. Alone on stage, John is the solo entertainer, spontaneous, sometimes funny and ironic, unpredictable, fearless and fascinating and all this on a very high musical level. John is the great master of ceremonies who inevitably captivates the audience. And he is not above interacting with and involving his audience, creating a unique live atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcoustic, electric, funny, ironic, unpredictable, fearless and fascinating - all this plus a bonus track from \"Die Aktuelle Stunde\" (WDR TV) from October 12, 1989!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Day Without You (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside In (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBless The Weather (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertain Surprise (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Muff (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCouldn’t Love You More (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Hours (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Air (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay You Never (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Black Roses (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI’d Rather Be The Devil (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook At That Girl (live @ WDR 3 Aktuelle Stunde, October 12, 1989)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisc 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Day Without You (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside In (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBless The Weather (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertain Surprise (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Muff (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCouldn’t Love You More (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall Hours (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Air (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay You Never (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven Black Roses (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI’d Rather Be The Devil (live @ Audiomax, Hamburg University, March 17, 1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLook At That Girl (live @ WDR 3 Aktuelle Stunde, October 12, 1989)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebonus track 'LookAt That Girl', recorded at German TV programm 'Aktuelle Stunde' of Oct. 12, 1989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Made In Germany Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43976207565000,"sku":"MIG90972","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/8486\/3688\/files\/johnmartynrockaplastcddvd.jpg?v=1721950108","url":"https:\/\/videomatica.com\/products\/john-martyn-live-at-rockpalast-1978-cd-dvd-combo","provider":"Videomatica Ltd (since 1983)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
