John Renbourn - Great Dream from Heaven download song

Lovely the way he works "Abide With Me" into the intro. Saw him with Isaac Guillory several times. They did a superb version of "Buckets of Rain".

They did call him home. Too soon for me though. Loved Renbourne and everything he did.

Always loved this one live. Could imagine him singing above. RIP, dear John.

Whenever I get frustrated with my guitar, and think 'I'll never be as good as John or Bert'...... I watch clips like these. Here's John, fingers like sausages, incorrect playing position, no thumb-pick, and yet just listen to the man. Absolute genius.

I had a great dream from heaven last night The angels in heaven were calling me home Thank God I can sing a song of His love Someday I'll be singing above Glory to Jesus who has saved us from sin Glory to Jesus I'm free to say Thank God I can sing a song of His love Someday I'll be singing above When mother and father forsake me, I know The angels in heaven they're calling me home Thank God I can sing a song of His love Someday I'll be singing above Glory to Jesus who has saved us from sin Glory to Jesus I'm free to say Thank God I can sing a song of His love Someday I'll be singing above I had a great dream from heaven last night The angels in heaven were calling me home Thank God I can sing a song of His love Someday I'll be singing above Glory to Jesus who has saved us from sin Glory to Jesus I'm free - yes I am Thank God I can sing a song of His love Someday I'll be singing above

You're absolutely right! I had the same sensation of John's barely touching the fretboard, yet playing wonderfully that "standard" of his live repertoire. The song is actually one of Spence's classics basically intended to be a spiritual, with strong blues and calypso influences. While playing it, Spence made so many variations to melody that his wife Louise used to complain about its excessive complexity. John's version is capturing very well the spirit of the song.

This is so darn good .  Speechless, a pitty I cant afford a scooling in spain or greece :\

Now I remember why I spend my time trying to play guitar.

What a great guy; I met him in Québec at the Summer festival a few years ago and told him he must have had the same teacher for facial expressions as Julian Bream, which brought a chuckle. R.I.P. John, many thanks for your beautiful playing.

I was born in 1991, and I actually love John Renbourn's music, Jacquie McShee's voice, and others. Stop saying that all young people like "bad music".

This man has been the consummate, most versatile, artist for 5 decades. I recall when he was with "Pentangle". John Fahey, John Renbourn, Davey Graham, Bert Jansch. No electric player comes close to them.

Well, my friends ElvenDane and Safuna surely didn't like your comment. I have a deep respect for any kind of music taste, even far away from mine. Nevertheless.. why put a comment? Just watch it and leave after a while. Simply you can't understand this music.

I have been playing John Renbourn peices since the early 70's and I sadly miss him. My true guitar hero!

Amazing musician. I first heard John in the sixties and sadi wow that's what a guitar should sound like lol
