    Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on TH-cam, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on TH-cam. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on TH-cam, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.

      Yep, this song is definitely not about spilling "dirt"; to the contrary, it's a wistful, bittersweet song about a love that simply didn't work out for whatever reasons, but at the time, they "both could have died then and there" she was so happy (and maybe Dylan was too?). Beautiful.

  • @hlawrencepowell

    The thing was, Joan was the big star and Dylan was basically unknown when Joan took him in. In a way, she helped launch his career by covering his songs. They did a lot together but I think drifted apart as he became the phenomenon she describes. I really think the song is bittersweet. Bob does keep things vague sometimes, but that really was/is his signature. And I don't think Joan was getting back at Bob or even stating her case. She was stating her feelings. Joan was the stronger of the two in that relationship. Bob is a character, but maybe not as strong and keeps shifting and dodging because of a self-worth issue. Joan always had strong convictions that made her the Queen of Folk -- even to this day.

    Joan Baez worked tirelessly for the peace movement and civil rights. She played more charity’ shows than anyone. She such a good person with a pure heart. Even today she’s a brilliant artist, Bob Dylan bought one of her paintings, she may have given it to him as he was the subject of that painting.
    She never became bitter. She’s a phenomenon who kept her integrity.

    Saw her four years ago when she played in Melbourne, Australia. She told us to forgive her if she could no longer reach the highest notes. When she did(effortlessly) she received a standing ovation. Her voice is still flawless and full of power. Not bad for a lady in her seventies.

    Joan was already big on the folk scene when Bob showed up. They had a multi year fling, and after they split he had no problem writing multiple songs critical of her. She stayed in the background until this masterpiece. Seems old feelings never die. totally gorgeous masterpiece, among her very best.

  • @tonybennett4159
    @tonybennett4159 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

    Baez has been huge in her own right. She started singing traditional folk songs in a light soprano, from collected works gathered by a man called Frances James Child, but as her voice matured it became more what you hear on Diamonds and Rust.
    She covered many of Dylan's songs, even made a double album. One of my favourites is North Country Blues which he wrote from a woman's point of view and is therefore perfect for her. It's a song about the struggles in a dying mining town, and like virtually everything she has ever sang the words are vital and always beautifully expressed. She only recently retired from singing having released more than thirty albums.

    Joan was a big star and was instrumental in bringing Dylan to a much larger audience when he was starting out. When his relationship was over with Suze Rotolo who was the woman on the Freewheeling album who was the inspiration for many early Dylan song, Dylan and Baez started a romantic relationship that ended in 1965 with Dylan’s star already outshining Joan’s.

    Joan was performing in the late 50s and early 60s at Club 47 in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. It was an underground coffee shop frequented by other musicians, now known, where they hung out and sung before small audiences.

    • @ptournas
      @ptournas 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I used to go there often, but after it was reopened as the Passim, by that time she was based out of the area though I still caught her in concerts in the Boston area. Club 47 was originally a jazz club, but she got the owner to hire her for Tuesday nights after her college roommate rented the club one Tuesday night so Joan could play there! After that they starting doing folk music on Tuesday nights and then it grew from there. Dylan tried to get hired there, but they never gave him a gig. They did let him play onstage between Joan's sets. Even after it became Passim, I still got to to see a lot of great performers there in the early 70s, like Tom Waits, David Bromberg, Jimmy Buffet and (my favorite) Dave Van Ronk.

    As some have said, Joan was the big star before Dylan. She actually helped him and let him sing with her on the stage, but then he left her. She says he broke her heart. She is now 82 and retired, and she said she painted his painting the way she remembered him when he was young, and the anger just suddenly left her as she finished the painting.

    Many of our heroes that show amazing talents and abilities, and light up the stage in whatever field they are in, have personal lives that are very ordinary and not very inspiring. They are simply humans underneath that gilded layer, and have exactly the same strengths and failings as any other human does. They have messy love lives, nasty relationships, jealousy and loneliness. We shouldn’t expect anything else from them. I suspect Dylan used Joan Baez and her established fame when he was starting out, although he may have also loved her. Her career was already in high gear when he came on the scene.She certainly did love him.

  • @stevedahlberg8680

    Love this song so much. I can still feel the album in my hands, looking at it and listening to it. I heard this song on an airplane when I was flying somewhere for the first time by myself, and think I was 16 or 17. I had a window seat and I grabbed one of the plastic headphones in a cellophane wrapper that were a new feature at the time, and you plugged it into a little jack in armrest and you had basically seven or eight channels of things you could listen to, terrible sound quality, terrible headphones, everything, and we had just taken off and I was so excited to be going where I was going but also a little sad somehow. Just a feeling of realizing that your boyhood is going to come to an end as you transition into being a young man.
    This song came on and it immediately just grabbed me and I had quite an emotional experience as we were flying higher and higher away from the earth. It's the very definition of poignant and bittersweet.
    If you really want to hear her let loose with her singing, check out her rendition of the folk song Blue, or maybe it's called, Here, Blue, about a dog named Blue. It's still technically folks singing but man, she really lets loose.

Check out Amazing Grace from "From Every Stage" the most amazing rendition you'll ever hear -- nearly every song on the Diamonds and Rust album. Also, look for her version of Dylan's Simple Twist of Fate, Fountain of Sorrow, Hello in There. Her voice is amazing - with or without music - she does some a'capella, too.

    "Greenwich" is pronounced "Grennitch." (NYC native here.) Iconic song, I was a first-year college student in '75. After all these years, it still gives me goosebumps and tears. The ultimate song about an ex you never quite got over.... Be sure to listen to Dylan's "Tangled Up in Blue." BTW Joan Baez's Christmas album, "Noël," is a classic, fantastic, haunting, perfect for those quiet holiday moments in front of the Christmas lights.

    I'm a big fan of Joan, and this is my favorite song by her. You can imagine all the hubbub it caused when released. Most of my friends knew about their relationship, so we could only imagine how heavy that phone conversation was. In a small way it shows Bob's devotion to his career, not judging if it was bad or good, and many of us thought after 10 years, it was an expression of acceptance on Joans part, that she was not willing to revisit the past. One of my favorite female singers who knew Bob when they both started in the business is Judy Collins, who tells an interesting Dylan story. He was visiting her in CT or NY. One night she heard music coming from her studio downstairs. She went down the stairs to the closed studio door, and hear Bob composing Hey, Mr Tamborine Man', which later became one of his signature songs.

    • @Historian212
      @Historian212 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You mean Judy Collins, whose first big hit was "Both Sides Now"? Joan Collins is an actress. Also a beautiful soprano voice from those years, but with a thinner, whispier quality than Baez's. Judy Collins covered Leonard Cohen's song "Suzanne," and it became a huge hit, as his performances of his songs never did, prior to the resurgence of "Hallelujah." Collins and Cohen were friends, and he was very shy of singing onstage in his early years as a singer (he was primarily a poet), so she had him come up and sing with her.

    I saw Joan Baez a few times live but the most memorable was at either the Hollywood Bowl or Greek Theatre (lot of years ago and both outdoor theaters). Both venues are acoustically perfect nested in the hills so the sound is perfectly clear no matter where you are seated. Joan had the most powerful voice and for her encore she sang Amazing Grace without any microphone and just a single spot light. Her voice rang out, echoing off of the hills and filling the night's air with her beautiful voice. I was (as was everyone else present) stunned into total silence and I still get goosebumps every time I think about it. What a memory, what a voice. Thank you for your reaction. "I remember your eyes were bluer than robin's eggs..." - Definitely Bob Dylan. Anything by Baez is great, she has the voice.

      I was thinking the same thing. Or that feeling when you want to talk to someone, and you have to find a booth (or someone who'll let you make an expensive, long-distance call from their phone), and have the right amount of change to pay for the call. Or when you receive a call like that -- unscreened, unrecorded, there was no voicemail or Caller ID back then -- and it's this old lover, and it hits you in the heart and gut, and you barely have time to react because you never expected this call. Very different times.

      I don't think so. There are no direct indicators that point to Joan and he has never suggested that it was so. The more likely target of his ire were all of his folk singer "friends" in Greenwich Village who turned their backs on him when he went electric. That rejection was unexpected and a very bitter pill. "Positively" was released not long after "Like a Rolling Stone," the song he chose to punctuate that change.

    Critical Reacts: Joan Baez became a folk music star following her appearance at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival.
    Bob Dylan was still in Minnesota as of 1959, "a complete unknown...", hah!!
    Check out @hlawrencepowell whose first sentence succinctly describes the dynamic of Baez being Dylan's benefactor up until Dylan's own career took off and he coldly dumped her, as can be sensed and seen in the film "DON"T LOOK BACK" (1967) which documents his 1965 U.K tour during which Baez was initially present, thinking that Dylan would invite her up on stage as she had done for him in the past at her concerts.

    The thing was, Joan was the big star and Dylan was basically unknown when Joan took him in.
    In a way, she helped launch his career by covering his songs. They did a lot together but I think drifted apart as he became the phenomenon she describes. I really think the song is bittersweet. Bob does keep things vague sometimes, but that really was/is his signature. And I don't think Joan was getting back at Bob or even stating her case. She was stating her feelings. Joan was the stronger of the two in that relationship. Bob is a character, but maybe not as strong and keeps shifting and dodging because of a self-worth issue. Joan always had strong convictions that made her the Queen of Folk -- even to this day.

    Her voice is strong and clear in this amazing song. People love to gossip and slander. Dylan was a teenager when they were a couple,the relationship didn’t last. He didn’t want to be a acoustic folk singer forever and all the folk scene turned on him they booed him when he plugged in. Imagine booing The Band fronted by Bob Dylan. The music was amazing. We haven’t a clue

    Yep. pretty much the whole entire package.

And Her mind was right, going back to marches alongside M.L. K. - nobody would have been shocked if She was murdered. Her mother was a quaker, father a lead project scientist

    PS Their love affair was legendary, nothing dirty. She was a rockstar in her own right. Marched with Martin Luther King Jr. and was an integral person in the civil rights movement. She was our QUEEN!!! Dylan was a dark, talented rascal and they were headed in two different arcs. Didn't work out but she did "love him dearly."

    I think, it´s more a reflection on the past brought back to her when Dylan contacted her as he had just written some songs of his Blood on the Tacks - She even was Part of his Rolling Thunder Review in 76 - so there was no realy bad blood between them. I think there were some things that brought the relationship to an end - his turning to the more electric side after his accident, the tragic death of their friend Richard Farina, her staying more political while Dylan wanted not to be that anymore ect.... There was another song on that record, "wind of the old days"

      Not true actually, the two of them were very close until they started coming into creative differences and had a breakup. Bob also reunited with Baez in the 70s when they did the rolling thunder tour. The situation is more complicated than "Bob used her to get famous and then ignored her"

    Not sure if anyone else here has mentioned, but after this song was released Dylan responded to it by writing Oh, Sister on the Desire album. Joan then responded to that by writing O Brother which is on the album Gulf Winds, which is a slightly more bitter song written about Dylan, this was all during the Rolling Thunder Tour. Diamonds and rust was written when Dylan called Joan to become part of his rolling thunder tour, they started out getting along well but towards the end it turned bitter

    Bob started "The Rolling Thunder Revue" tour, the idea was to travel from town to town in small venues, changing the show members in each town, like a travelling circus, some amazing shows, Joan was on the tour along with many others, some amazing performances. Bob is said to have written "Oh Sister" about Joan and she is said to have written "Oh Brother" about Bob ! There is a fairly recent interview where Bob talks very fondly of Joan, her guitar playing and her voice, he said they could sing together in their sleep ! Love Bob and Joan performing "The Water is Wide" and "Wild Mounting Thyme"
