So ... wow, John Martyn was great. He had to be wheeled on in a wheelchair because he only has one leg now. I had some beers which is rare for me so I am a bit tipsy as Rand postulated.
He did a load of Echoplex guitar stuff, just awesome. he is regarded as a pioneeer of echoplexing... his guitar is played back on a deteriorating analogue loop shortly after he's played it so he builds up these vast washes of sound as he plays along with the sound he made seconds earlier... it all just folds into itself... very very trippy indeed.
He did some new stuff, he did a lot of 80's power pop stuff too that was pretty awesome, and then he ended with four numbers from Solid Air, his best known album, and that was utterly yutterly amazing to hear him perform it live after listening the recording it since I was a child.
Great great great I need to go to bed now.
