John Martyn has enjoyed major success for the last forty years and in
2007 celebrated the fortieth anniversary of the release of his first
album London Conversation. Since then John has released many landmark
albums including One World which was released in late 1977. In March
1978 John appeared on German television to promote the album. The live
concert included songs from the album including Big Muff, Couldn't
Love You More, Small Hours and Certain Surprise. These songs featured
alongside John Martyn classics such as May You Never, Glistening
Glyndebourne and the perennial Solid Air.

The performance captured here really is one of the best John Martyn
performances of the seventies. John is extremely relaxed and on form
throughout and performs requests from the attentive audience even
managing to laugh and joke with the audience when he breaks a string
just before playing a stunning version of Solid Air.
