It was a great plesure to see Bert with the Pentangle in Cardiff, playing so well, a few months back. A great guitarist, singer snd writer.

Bert Jansch is an incredibly underrated acoustic guitarist...he influenced everyone from his time from Neil Young to Jimmy Page...

Went to see him last week in Edinburgh. It was great.

This isn't even Blackwaterside, so why is that all anyone is talking about?Anyway, it's always a pleasure to hear Jansch sing :)

Man I am sick of reading this same thing about Led Zeps version of Blackwaterside. Get over it already. And yes, before anyone trots it out he ripped "White Summer" off Davey Graham.A lot of ideas of are based on something else.Jansch tried to get his record company to pursue it in the 70's but they decided it wasn't worth it, and 30 years later everyone with a laptop seems to be plastering it all over t'internet. Arrghhh!

Interesting posts. Page's arrangement of Black Mountain Side was lifted from Jansch. Maybe a tenth of a royalty point of the first Zeppelin record would've set Bert up for life. On the other hand, I heard of Jansch from Page, and it changed my life.

about 5 years ago a good friend of mine brought an album over to my house, put it on the record player, and played the damn thing. What was played has inspired me ever since. Bert Jansch, Birthday Blues, has to be, to this day, one of the most influential albums of my entire life. Rosemary Lane, Jack Orion, all amazing records of true craftsmanship and beauty.
