It's impossible not to love her and her messages of peace, love, understanding, compassion, empathy, hope and all things good. What is happening now in general terms is disgraceful and sad.
72 years old and this takes me straight back to a time 65ish years ago when my mother, a Joan Baez fan and a beautiful suprano voice herself, would sing along as Joan Baez music filled the home. with music. Moments of bliss.
In August of 2022, I'm here at 77 years of age and just mesmerized by her performance. The range and softness of her voice just melt your soul. Thank the higher power for giving her to us.
Lucky i am glad to hear that she has maintained her magic im 64 and started early at 13 i gave up everything i had every heard on Am and turned onto her , Bob, Lou, etc and am weeping that there is something missing in todays music maybe soul, stories i dont know but thank you
I was a bit younger as I ran away at 13 and it was Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell their songs save that little girl off the street and turned her into a spiritual activist for life as I'm 64 now just behind you my sister but with tears streaming down my face as I listen to her voice and remember those times we lived through 💕
Saturday afternoon 4th April 2020 in lockdown England, not allowed out while we fight the Covid-19 virus Thankfully there is the genius of Bob Dylan and the perfect voice of Joan Baez to help pass the time We owe them both so much for the decades of music they've given
You sure got that right A Victor. I was in HS when began issuing their first records and their music has been a part of my life ever since. Skip West [lifetime folk singer]
In about 10 years from this year, all these gems, all these wonderful singer, songwriters and talented hippies that changed this world will sadly die off, never to be replaced. The songs that were made in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s changed how people think and how they challenged social order as it was. Nice job! There’s good music still being made but too much is manufactured junk by billionaires who push weak talent to the top of todays charts. Money machine factories unlike yesterday’s great and talented people who again made statements never to be replicated.
When this song came out on Blonde On Blonde, it was in the era of 2 to 3 minute singles. That anyone would devote one side of an LP to one song was stunning, but it flowed along like a river of metaphors. Dylan is/ was very good at creating melodies for his poetry. His melodies are underrated. Joan is wonderful on this one.
It’s more than 45 years ago (1975) …suddenly I found it inhere I’m listen this song at a first time since then ….. after all those years went by ……..I’m crying because my young time will never coming back …. What’s a Memory and what a Beautiful song!
Lord I was so young and full of wonder and the promise of life. At 74 still listening, trying to define my journey thru music. It was as a child with a pocket full of penny candy, no thought of running out.
I grew up with her. My mom played her at home. The home was full of beauty, cooking and music. For my 30th B-day, a friend took me to a surprise. Joan Baez live in concert in Atlanta. I think I may have cried for a half hour.
What was true when, as a student, I listened to a young Joan Baez remains true today at age 75: hearing her voice is the closest I have come to a religious experience. What a pure soul she is. My deepest gratitude for this montage. JFF
Am 82. Saw her in person 60 yrs ago and have been a fan ever since. Also, our nation owes her a lot for her couregious stands against Vietnam war. A true Patriot.
Matchless, Joan and Bob the linguistic wordsmith, Master of the spoken word and phrase. with Joan the queen who wears the crown of thorns !! for the weak and down trodden . God love you both >
I am an English man living in France Joan you are the background to my life. I have your CDs and resorect my vinal LPs from the 1960s I never understood how one could fall in love with a woman I have never met. Joan I love you. 3 adult sons and daughter and 10 grandchildren. My life's wish is to meet you. RICHARD CROW
We did indeed. We had it in our power to be "the greatest generation in history", I wonder how we c0cked it up so badly. In 1967 we were certain we were about to change the world, by 1968 we knew we couldn't. heady times.
Yes incredibly lucky to have such life changing artistry. Possibly the outcome of what we worked for but inroads were made. Today we see there are tremendous forces that only concern seems to be holding onto a power that was earned on the backs of those enslaved. The fight continues! Many of the young give me tremendous hope as the torch is necessarily passed to them. My 2 cents🤗
In 1964 I was often in front of the White House when we picketed the White House and singing all those old civil rights songs In support of passing the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. One day it was bigger rally across the street in Lafayette Park. I was just standing around and all of a sudden, Joan Baez stepped out of the crowd. She was there to support Civil Rights, not to sing. I was stunned by how beautiful she was. A few years later she was singing to a huge crowd gathered on the Mall in an anti Vietnam war protest. She was singing from a stage erected on the west steps of the Capitol exactly where the January 6th riot took place. Around 4 years ago I saw her perform at the Kate Wolf Festival in Mendocino county. Her son was playing percussion. She looked great and sounded great and got a standing ovation. She turned 80 last January 9th.
My beloved brother Tommy was there in front of the White House and heard Joan B sing and he also was a part of the crowd singing with her. He also was a folk singer/songwriter and we loved how she performed and how. Forever thankful for her music and presence.

As another big fan still at 76 I can't begin to tell you how much your music has helped me cope with the recent death of my dear wife. Thank you so much Alan Dublin Ireland
Two legends creating a masterpiece . Music as an art form does not get better than this. Thank you Joan Baez for your incredible voice and thank you Bob Dylan for your genius in poetry.
I wouldn't dispute his genius but, this song, despite Joan Baez's velvet voice, is in the tradition of Lewis Carroll. Another genius. It is a nonsense poem. Still love it.
after reading all other comments, I don’t know how I could say anything better, or that hasn’t been said. It’s so good to know so many appreciate this most soothing incredible….its a Mona Lisa master piece ! Thank YOU Joan & Bob!
It was the late 60ties, I was in high school. Joan Baez played outside at Harvard stadium for one dollar admission!! Needless to say it was packed & I didn’t get in. Stood outside mesmerized, while listening!!
I grew up listening to Joan Baez, my mother had several LPs of hers and played them very often. I soon loved her music. I had the opportunity to see her twice live, my heart warmed with deep emotions, also the memory of my late mother. Now I am reflecting on how the ideals of a generation that inspired hope for a better world have degenerated into a dark ideology. Or is it me who has changed? Or both?
Absolutely one of the purest voices from the period. I was sold when I first heard Farewell Angelina...... simplest the finest! IMHO. Thank you Ms. Baez, I'm now soon to be 71, and your voice and lyrics continue to do it for me.
I was just a kid of nineteen and was leaving home for the first time.the girl I was courting and I were hanging around the home of some other ladies where this song was being played over and over yet we loved it and never grew tired of it. I'm seventy now and this song takes me back to my youth. Oh to be young again, for just a moment long enough to reconsider the choices that I made back then just long enough to create a different life a better life than the one that I had dealt for myself. Yes. Oh to be young again.
@@briankelly5432 Well I'm in Southern Texas but even though it's getting down into the 40's tonight that's about the same to me as 40 below probably is to you!

Joan Baez, what a Voice to speak out for justice, equality, civil rights on behalf of those who were never given a voice. What great American, what a wonderful world citizen she is!!! Happy and proud I was on several of her live concerts in different places in Europe over the years she was performing there. Her voice, her ambitions to fight for human rights, her political engagement and bravery to shed light on the wrongs to turn some - and if possible more - toward what's right, her message to spur peace, to ask for engagement, to dare more and true democracy, to reject and defeat wars and autocracies, to overcome bigotry, all this had a great impact and helped together with many other artists to change an entire generation and with it many things more to the better. Nothing was done in vain, even it may at times appear as such!! Joan is and was always hope for better days in a future to believe in to become true!
Christian, well-said and passionate. I randomly came across Baez-Dylan-Paul Simon collaborations this morning and am immersed in them to great joy and a few tears. The photos of Bob and Joan, the look on their faces, especially Bob, he was transformed, I have never seen such vulnerability in him, it is beautiful to see -- he loved her, and then they played Diamonds and Rust and you knew it was mutual. They were with Paul Simon and did a hypnotic, 3-guitar version of Sounds of Silence, all slowed down and dreamy, about 7 minutes long -- if you didn't feel that it just wasn't your era. It was mine and I'm grateful. Yes, Baez, Dylan and others were great Americans, stood for humanity and authenticity and beauty -- too bad so much of the rest of the world wasn't up to it. Today, it's sunk pretty low and I'm not just talking about Washington DC. But we know what the ideal is, we have looked in their faces and seen it, so we raise out children with love and freedom and we walk the walk, and hope that it pays off.
Amazing! I couldn't agree more. Dylan's poetry and Joan's beautiful voice. The combination is so wonderful it makes me cry tears of joy, to hear the sheer beauty of this song.
Joan's voice is heavenly. There are others including Judy Collins, Priscilla Herdman, Kate Wolf. But Joan really does a great interpretation of Dylan's writings.
Each voicevoice is "unique"... and yes, Joan Baez has (also) a nice voice....like a million others... I do like her performances very much... like the performances of 1000 others...Greetings.
I was there when she introduced him at Newport in '64 (all acoustic) & in '65 when he did his first tunes acoustic & came back all electric----fans booed him like crazy !!? I was parking cars behind the artist's trailers & swiped a beer from a keg on their picnic table .....life was a bit simpler back then, kids. Ever since I tell peeps ' Bob Dylan bought me a beer'....kinda.
No-one sings Dylan like Baez. It seems she is the only one who truly understands the songwriter's intentions. You've inspired me to drag out that album and play it again - "Any Day now" - a collection of Bob Dylan's song sung by Joan Baez.
I am 74 also and my husband and I lived in San Francisco until 1975 when we moved to Marin Co. Joan has always been an elegant woman - her hairdos, her modest and very stylish and feminine clothes, her elegant choice of jewelry and never smoking or holding a glass of alcohol - with the voice of an Angel. I wasn't into Bob Dylan or Joan Baez concerts then and learned from You Tube videos that she and Bob were engaged until he left her to marry Sara. I am so thankful to the person who posted her life story in photos. All the photos made me aware that this song isn't just about Sara, but is about Joan also. Confusing because in song "Sara", Bob stated that he wrote "Sad Eyed Lady" for Sara. Learned from the You Tube posting of Joan singing her composition "Diamonds and Rust" that the song was about Bob, who I read was irritated at the time, but reunited with Joan in his Rolling Thunder tour and later expressed his lifelong love for Joan.
Bob wrote it to his true love that was Sara,their divorce really broke him. The tragedy in Bob's romantic life is that he connected with Joan on a musical,artistic level but didnt love her. With Sara it was the opposite,he was in love with her but didnt connect,bond with her on an artistic level.Sara wasnt an artist. Bob said that when he started taking painting classes in NY he couldnt share it wih her,it didn't interest her,its not like they talked about it for hours,she wasnt nourishing him on his artistic life. He always felt incomplete in relationships,i believe he is a deeply lonely man,a hermit soul deep down
One of Dylan's greatest, my favorite for 50+ years. And Joan Baez pouring her everything into her interpretation. Magic, genius, mystic, romantic, wistful, nostalgic: its got it all.
Having read the words of this song slowly and carefully, and having read all about Joan Baez on Wikipedia. I am of the opinion this is not a love song, but it is rather a young guy demonstrating to his best platonic female friend his gift for words by writing a song for and about her.
Bob wrote to his true love, Sara, their divorce really broke him. The tragedy in Bob's romantic life is that he connected with Joan on a musical, artistic level, but did not love her. With Sara it was the opposite, he was in love but didn't bond with her on an artistic level. Sara was not an artist. Bob said that when he started taking painting classes in NY he couldn't share it with her, it didn't interest her, it wasn't like they talked about it for hours, she wasn't feeding him in his artistic interests. He has always felt incomplete in relationships, I believe he is a deeply lonely man, a hermit soul deep down
@@latitudeselongitudes1932 Perhaps he didn't love her romantically, but I am sure he loved her as a friend and as someone he connected with musically, after all, there are different kinds of love.
Un engagement courageux, une intelligence, une sensibilité, un regard transperçant, une bonté et une lumineuse beauté. Et en plus une voix pure : la femme artiste unique de sa génération.
Back in the time when so many songs were poetry. This one was an epic. Joan and Bob were part of an inspired time when words and their meaning meant so much to people experiencing the tumultuous times back then. I used my words to describe this but my words are not worthy.
And now the young want to ban words they disapprovge of, rip up history and pull down statues. They ain't no counter culture, they just angry fascists wanting to control. What goes around comes around, maybe their kids will be another enlightened generation, just before the world ends.
I never heard this song sung by Joan Baez, it is magnificent. It's a good song when Bob Dylan sings it himself, but the way Joan sings it, is even better....
Some where near midnight her magnificent voice burst through the night air at Woodstock.... I stood there watching happy I made the journey to hear this beauty sing for us.....❣️
20:19hrs. Loved this lady with the fabulous voice, since I was 16 yrs old. I'm 75 now and still have an LP of hers. Scratched to hell, but I don't care.
Song coupled with the photomontage is deeply touching to me. Makes me think of listening to Bob and her, together and separately since 1963. Only got to see either of them in in concert in recent years. Just gives me shivers to think of how much of heir music I have incorporated into my soul all these years.
@@lisayee2362 Interesting comment. You could be right, yet I don’t sense that Dylan ever really loved Baez. They had some great times together but he was more interested in his career than he was in her. He basked in her adoration and “rode” her until she carried him to fame. He used her and he admits it. How much did he love his wife? I don’t know about that.
Bob wrote it to his true love that was Sara,their divorce really broke him. The tragedy in Bob's romantic life is that he connected with Joan on a musical,artistic level but didnt love her.

@@latitudeselongitudes1932 We're all just guessing, but your guesses sound good to me, partly because I'm 75, and partly because I relate to him more than to her.
Great art is often rooted in deep pain, this song is proof. Dylan wrote the song for Sarah Lownds, then proposed to and married her, leaving his former love Joan Baez behind. Thus Joans other classic, Diamonds and Rust, which tells of how betrayed she felt. Dylan is the worlds greatest living poet and songwriter, but he sure did hurt those women who loved him, and he knows it. Thus his song of guilt and repentance Every Grain of Sand, another masterpiece.
She was in love with him, he wasn't.It was an opportunistic relation on his part. Privately he kept asking Suze Rotolo to marry him. After they parted he eventually married Sara.
Jan. 2021, being homebody ..covd...would probably be crazy if not able to go back in time when these awesome poets, singers and writers made music unforgettable. Lovely.....
I've known the song ever since I bought Blonde on Blonde back in the distant day but listening to Joan perform it was transformational, wonderful, thank you.
I loaned this record to a friend in 1971- I don’t think I’m going to get it back. Joan Baez brought out such a beautiful side of Dylan’s early songs on this album.
fell in love with this lady about 50 years ago. She has just become more beautiful with the years and I have just realized that all the important women in my life have a striking resemblance to her.
I first saw and heard Joan Baez on TV when she was 19. I had never heard such a beautiful voice. She has been at my center ever since, she is part of my soul.

Happy birthday, may God bless you and give you many more years of happiness!
Give er hell Eric
Eric Hunt Peace there pal. Be not afraid
Eric,hello my darling,theres plenty of time..
Keep on trucking Eric.....
An angel, her face, her smile, her voice. How did such a generation as ours end up with the state of affairs today. How can you not love her?
That’s what I’m thinking now …beyond grief ..oh help us all God
It's impossible not to love her and her messages of peace, love, understanding, compassion, empathy, hope and all things good. What is happening now in general terms is disgraceful and sad.
We have to carry forward the grace and good from that time. It’s real

Agreed. Not only The voice.
It’s more than 45 years ago (1975) …suddenly I found it inhere I’m listen this song at a first time since then ….. after all those years went by ……..I’m crying because my young time will never coming back …. What’s a Memory and what a Beautiful song!
This voice just sends me back in time. Back when songs were beautuful written and simply sung.
So true! I feel exactly the same.
Lord I was so young and full of wonder and the promise of life. At 74 still listening, trying to define my journey thru music. It was as a child with a pocket full of penny candy, no thought of running out.
Me tooooo.
The voice of Angel
I also. Found Joan at 13, bought all her records, still listen to them daily. Only 71 so there is time yet
Me too, at 65.
Sad eyed now but the artists and music we had was a blessing
What a wonderful voice she has! Powerful, rich, soft, and soulful with a huge range. It brings tears to my eyes. She is the best!
I’m 88 and still able to enjoy her marvelous voice!❤
Perhaps the purest voice the world has ever heard. My favorite singer from the beginning she came to the public and to day at 76. Awesome woman.
Thanks for your love and constant supports has brought me this far. Keep Supporting me ❤️❤️❤️

Joan music and caring as a person are so beautiful
I grew up with her. My mom played her at home. The home was full of beauty, cooking and music. For my 30th B-day, a friend took me to a surprise. Joan Baez live in concert in Atlanta. I think I may have cried for a half hour.
Yes yes and yes⚘🥀⚘💕
@@joanbaez3030 is this truly Joan?
What was true when, as a student, I listened to a young Joan Baez remains true today at age 75: hearing her voice is the closest I have come to a religious experience. What a pure soul she is. My deepest gratitude for this montage. JFF
right now moved to tears
My generation, my music, my poets, my friends ❤️
Hearing Joan, her voice and with Bob Dylan and his poetry brings tears to my eyes. ❤😢
Joan Baez is the greatest singer of all time.
We had a lot of beautiful spiritual guides in those days.
Absolutely!
Am 82. Saw her in person 60 yrs ago and have been a fan ever since. Also, our nation owes her a lot for her couregious stands against Vietnam war. A true Patriot.
Matchless, Joan and Bob the linguistic wordsmith, Master of the spoken word and phrase. with Joan the queen who wears the crown of thorns !! for the weak and down trodden . God love you both >
I am an English man living in France Joan you are the background to my life. I have your CDs and resorect my vinal LPs from the 1960s I never understood how one could fall in love with a woman I have never met. Joan I love you.
3 adult sons and daughter and 10 grandchildren. My life's wish is to meet you. RICHARD CROW
We lived in magical times....the confluence of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan. Once in a millennia. And we saw it unfold!
We did indeed. We had it in our power to be "the greatest generation in history", I wonder how we c0cked it up so badly. In 1967 we were certain we were about to change the world, by 1968 we knew we couldn't. heady times.
Yes incredibly lucky to have such life changing artistry. Possibly the outcome of what we worked for but inroads were made. Today we see there are tremendous forces that only concern seems to be holding onto a power that was earned on the backs of those enslaved. The fight continues! Many of the young give me tremendous hope as the torch is necessarily passed to them. My 2 cents🤗
@@moryan6447 she would agree
In 1964 I was often in front of the White House when we picketed the White House and singing all those old civil rights songs In support of passing the 1964 Civil Rights Bill. One day it was bigger rally across the street in Lafayette Park. I was just standing around and all of a sudden, Joan Baez stepped out of the crowd. She was there to support Civil Rights, not to sing. I was stunned by how beautiful she was. A few years later she was singing to a huge crowd gathered on the Mall in an anti Vietnam war protest. She was singing from a stage erected on the west steps of the Capitol exactly where the January 6th riot took place. Around 4 years ago I saw her perform at the Kate Wolf Festival in Mendocino county. Her son was playing percussion. She looked great and sounded great and got a standing ovation. She turned 80 last January 9th.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My beloved brother Tommy was there in front of the White House and heard Joan B sing and he also was a part of the crowd singing with her. He also was a folk singer/songwriter and we loved how she performed and how. Forever thankful for her music and presence.
Who's playing this in 2021 like me ?
Memories of those far-off day?
Memories tinged with sadness ?
Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind?
Long lost friend?
or heyday of your life?
I want hear your stories.
Thank you sharing your story with us.
Thank you Joan Baez.
With your mercury mouth in the missionary times
And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes
And your silver cross, and your voice like chimes
Who do they think could bury you?
With your pockets well protected at last
And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass
And your flesh like silk, and your face like glass
Who could ever get to carry you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I put them by your gate
Sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace
And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace
And your basement clothes and your hollow face
Who among them can think he could outguess you?
With your silhouette when the sunlight dims
Into your eyes where the moonlight swims
And your matchbook songs and your gypsy hymns
Who among them would try to impress you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
The kings of Tyrus with their convict list
Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss
And you wouldn’t know it would happen like this
But who among them really wants just to kiss you?
With your childhood flames on your midnight rug
And your Spanish manners and your mother’s drugs
And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs
Who among them do you think could resist you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
Oh, the farmers and the businessmen, they all did decide
To show you where dead angels were that they used to hide
Why did they pick you to sympathize with their side?
Oh, how could they ever mistake you?
They wished you’d accepted the blame for the farm
But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm
And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms
How could they ever have persuaded you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?
With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row
And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go
And your gentleness now, which you just can’t help but show
Who among them do you think would employ you?
Now you stand with your thief, you’re on his parole
With your holy medallion in your fingers now that hold
And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul
Oh, who among them do you think could destroy you?
Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands
Where the sad-eyed prophets say that no man comes
My warehouse eyes, my Arabian drums
Should I leave them by your gate
Or, sad-eyed lady, should I wait?

As another big fan still at 76 I can't begin to tell you how much your music has helped me cope with the recent death of my dear wife. Thank you so much

Two legends creating a masterpiece . Music as an art form does not get better than this. Thank you Joan Baez for your incredible voice and thank you Bob Dylan for your genius in poetry.
I agree! Both are talented beyond words.
I wouldn't dispute his genius but, this song, despite Joan Baez's velvet voice, is in the tradition of Lewis Carroll. Another genius. It is a nonsense poem. Still love it.
Madam Huan baiz is my motivation
Very well said and so absolutely true!
Absolutely, but the nonsense is so rich just like many of his other songs.
after reading all other comments, I don’t know how I could say anything better, or that hasn’t been said. It’s so good to know so many appreciate this most soothing incredible….its a Mona Lisa master piece ! Thank YOU Joan & Bob!
I'm only 72 but I remember the original like it was yesterday. Thank God for the Chelsea Hotel.
It was yesterday. Yet I am there now.
A genius that wrote the song, and an angel that sang the song! Fantastic!
It was the late 60ties, I was in high school. Joan Baez played outside at Harvard stadium for one dollar admission!! Needless to say it was packed & I didn’t get in. Stood outside mesmerized, while listening!!
I grew up listening to Joan Baez, my mother had several LPs of hers and played them very often. I soon loved her music. I had the opportunity to see her twice live, my heart warmed with deep emotions, also the memory of my late mother.
Now I am reflecting on how the ideals of a generation that inspired hope for a better world have degenerated into a dark ideology. Or is it me who has changed? Or both?
The pics here are brilliant, and rare. So tuned in
Absolutely one of the purest voices from the period. I was sold when I first heard Farewell Angelina...... simplest the finest! IMHO. Thank you Ms. Baez, I'm now soon to be 71, and your voice and lyrics continue to do it for me.
I was just a kid of nineteen and was leaving home for the first time.the girl I was courting and I were hanging around the home of some other ladies where this song was being played over and over yet we loved it and never grew tired of it. I'm seventy now and this song takes me back to my youth. Oh to be young again, for just a moment long enough to reconsider the choices that I made back then just long enough to create a different life a better life than the one that I had dealt for myself. Yes. Oh to be young again.
beyond measure, or reach...i find myself coming back to this again and again. and again.
sometimes its good to stay home and just scroll around finding heart- stirring gems..

Joan Baez, what a Voice to speak out for justice, equality, civil rights on behalf of those who were never given a voice. What great American, what a wonderful world citizen she is!!! Happy and proud I was on several of her live concerts in different places in Europe over the years she was performing there. Her voice, her ambitions to fight for human rights, her political engagement and bravery to shed light on the wrongs to turn some - and if possible more - toward what's right, her message to spur peace, to ask for engagement, to dare more and true democracy, to reject and defeat wars and autocracies, to overcome bigotry, all this had a great impact and helped together with many other artists to change an entire generation and with it many things more to the better. Nothing was done in vain, even it may at times appear as such!! Joan is and was always hope for better days in a future to believe in to become true!
Wow! So good to hear.✌✌
Christian, thanks so much for your words!
WELL SAID Christian!
Right on. I wish I had your mastery of thought and words.
Christian, well-said and passionate. I randomly came across Baez-Dylan-Paul Simon collaborations this morning and am immersed in them to great joy and a few tears. The photos of Bob and Joan, the look on their faces, especially Bob, he was transformed, I have never seen such vulnerability in him, it is beautiful to see -- he loved her, and then they played Diamonds and Rust and you knew it was mutual. They were with Paul Simon and did a hypnotic, 3-guitar version of Sounds of Silence, all slowed down and dreamy, about 7 minutes long -- if you didn't feel that it just wasn't your era. It was mine and I'm grateful. Yes, Baez, Dylan and others were great Americans, stood for humanity and authenticity and beauty -- too bad so much of the rest of the world wasn't up to it. Today, it's sunk pretty low and I'm not just talking about Washington DC. But we know what the ideal is, we have looked in their faces and seen it, so we raise out children with love and freedom and we walk the walk, and hope that it pays off.
Joan Baez's voice is a national treasure!
No, it´s a universal treasure.
Mondial et universel .
Superbe.
Mais arrêtez votre US First a only.
Vive le monde!
Yes, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. I'm 70 - what would I have done without them?
I'm 73...for sure..what would I have done without them?
Me too, I so agree, those were the best of times
Oh yes. Fills my heart with joy 😻
Added Van Morrison,like I was lucky enough to have.
Amen!
Fell in love with Joan and her voice in 1965 and never stopped loving.

Been listening to Joan’s magical voice for 40 years -how come I ave never heard of this one?
Simply magical and magnificent
I'm 73 & finally see how how you look! Loved & grew up with your music. Thank you.
Joan Baez was and still is as beautiful as her messages and songs. So happy to share this with you!
Two geniuses, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan! Thank you for your music, impossible to forget!
Such a joy to listen to these lovely words......Joan has the voice of an angel.
What a glorious voice. There will never be another like her. A joy and awonderful gift just to hear her. Thank you Joan.
Amazing! I couldn't agree more. Dylan's poetry and Joan's beautiful voice. The combination is so wonderful it makes me cry tears of joy, to hear the sheer beauty of this song.
Joan's voice is heavenly. There are others including Judy Collins, Priscilla Herdman, Kate Wolf. But Joan really does a great interpretation of Dylan's writings.
Each voicevoice is "unique"... and yes, Joan Baez has (also) a nice voice....like a million others... I do like her performances very much... like the performances of 1000 others...Greetings.
The photo at 7:58 is glorious. It's like we are watching a very talented sleeping angel. There has never been anyone like Joan.
You can try Nur Yoldaş, they have similar voice and vibe in general. I'm sure you'll like it
In the midst of the corona virus and self distancing, this sure feeds my soul

Anyone listening to this in 2021? Are we alive?
Take care of you !!!!!

Corona virus? do you know a ny who is sick?,, it is a houx
I was there when she introduced him at Newport in '64 (all acoustic) & in '65 when he did his first tunes acoustic & came back all electric----fans booed him like crazy !!?
I was parking cars behind the artist's trailers & swiped a beer from a keg on their picnic table .....life was a bit simpler back then, kids.
Ever since I tell peeps ' Bob Dylan bought me a beer'....kinda.
"Your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace." -- Bob, master of imagery.
Yeah, got that too
Schönste Stimme der Welt und wunderschön.
No-one sings Dylan like Baez. It seems she is the only one who truly understands the songwriter's intentions. You've inspired me to drag out that album and play it again - "Any Day now" - a collection of Bob Dylan's song sung by Joan Baez.
One of my favorite albums of all time
I always called it "MY WHITE album"
Great album.
What a blessing to read such appreciative comments, especially during this pandemic when we need to pull together more than ever.
I am 74 also and my husband and I lived in San Francisco until 1975 when we moved to Marin Co. Joan has always been an elegant woman - her hairdos, her modest and very stylish and feminine clothes, her elegant choice of jewelry and never smoking or holding a glass of alcohol - with the voice of an Angel. I wasn't into Bob Dylan or Joan Baez concerts then and learned from You Tube videos that she and Bob were engaged until he left her to marry Sara. I am so thankful to the person who posted her life story in photos. All the photos made me aware that this song isn't just about Sara, but is about Joan also. Confusing because in song "Sara", Bob stated that he wrote "Sad Eyed Lady" for Sara. Learned from the You Tube posting of Joan singing her composition "Diamonds and Rust" that the song was about Bob, who I read was irritated at the time, but reunited with Joan in his Rolling Thunder tour and later expressed his lifelong love for Joan.
Love he didn't deserve or receive.
Bob wrote it to his true love that was Sara,their divorce really broke him. The tragedy in Bob's romantic life is that he connected with Joan on a musical,artistic level but didnt love her. With Sara it was the opposite,he was in love with her but didnt connect,bond with her on an artistic level.Sara wasnt an artist. Bob said that when he started taking painting classes in NY he couldnt share it wih her,it didn't interest her,its not like they talked about it for hours,she wasnt nourishing him on his artistic life. He always felt incomplete in relationships,i believe he is a deeply lonely man,a hermit soul deep down
Joan makes this great song very much her own. Peerless, unforgettable and sublime.
Words cant describe Joan's voice here What a remarkable song.
I totally agree..You can FEEL every part of this song.

She played more songs at Woodstock than anyone. The civil rights go back along time. She's been around!
What a voice she brings back memories of my youth , I love her dearly
One of Dylan's greatest, my favorite for 50+ years. And Joan Baez pouring her everything into her interpretation. Magic, genius, mystic, romantic, wistful, nostalgic: its got it all.
Having read the words of this song slowly and carefully, and having read all about Joan Baez on Wikipedia. I am of the opinion this is not a love song, but it is rather a young guy demonstrating to his best platonic female friend his gift for words by writing a song for and about her.
Bob wrote to his true love, Sara, their divorce really broke him. The tragedy in Bob's romantic life is that he connected with Joan on a musical, artistic level, but did not love her. With Sara it was the opposite, he was in love but didn't bond with her on an artistic level. Sara was not an artist. Bob said that when he started taking painting classes in NY he couldn't share it with her, it didn't interest her, it wasn't like they talked about it for hours, she wasn't feeding him in his artistic interests. He has always felt incomplete in relationships, I believe he is a deeply lonely man, a hermit soul deep down
Magic, genius, mystic, romantic, wistful, nostalgic. Love your comment, could be a line from Dylan.
double Right On.
@@latitudeselongitudes1932 Perhaps he didn't love her romantically, but I am sure he loved her as a friend and as someone he connected with musically, after all, there are different kinds of love.

Un engagement courageux, une intelligence, une sensibilité, un regard transperçant, une bonté et une lumineuse beauté. Et en plus une voix pure : la femme artiste unique de sa génération.
Her eyes, her eyes, so pure, so expressive, that is enough to make me cry when I listen and watch.
I thought I knew all Joan Baez songs--somehow this one escaped me. At 70 there are still surprises ;) Thank you
Back in the time when so many songs were poetry. This one was an epic. Joan and Bob were part of an inspired time when words and their meaning meant so much to people experiencing the tumultuous times back then. I used my words to describe this but my words are not worthy.
Beautifully stated.
And now the young want to ban words they disapprovge of, rip up history and pull down statues. They ain't no counter culture, they just angry fascists wanting to control. What goes around comes around, maybe their kids will be another enlightened generation, just before the world ends.
I’m here 73 and enjoying the music….for how much longer who knows.
I'm still listening Joan, during the wee hours. Still enthralled.
One of the songs that made me a Joan Baez (and Dylan) fan for life.
Me too✌✌✌. Joan Baez is much respected and loved in India.
Thank you for the reply. You are fabulous and delight.
I like the version of this song from the Yes-members Steve Howe and Jon Anderson too :)
Realmente es una bella canción, una voz tan dulce, me encanta!!
me too!
I never heard this song sung by Joan Baez, it is magnificent. It's a good song when Bob Dylan sings it himself, but the way Joan sings it, is even better....
How come all of the people commenting on this are knocking on a hundred years old.Not far off but if I were younger I would be happy to listen to Joan
Joan, your voice is like velvet. It’s so beautiful, as you sing our your heart in “Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands “. Ever so touching in my heart 🌟💐🌹🎼🎶
Some where near midnight her magnificent voice burst through the night air at Woodstock.... I stood there watching happy I made the journey to hear this beauty sing for us.....❣️
Matt Much wow.
it was a fine moment,
I was close to the speakers...it was worth the hearing loss.
I had never heard the Baez version of this song, but I always considered this to be the epitome of Dylan’s poetry.
20:19hrs.
Loved this lady with the fabulous voice, since I was 16 yrs old. I'm 75 now and still have an LP of hers. Scratched to hell, but I don't care.
Song coupled with the photomontage is deeply touching to me. Makes me think of listening to Bob and her, together and separately since 1963. Only got to see either of them in in concert in recent years. Just gives me shivers to think of how much of heir music I have incorporated into my soul all these years.
Nothing says 'musical respect' like covering a song that your ex wrote about his wife. Two amazing musicians.
I am convinced through the amazing photo essay put to Joan's other-worldly vocals that Dylan was in love with two women when he wrote this
@@lisayee2362 Interesting comment. You could be right, yet I don’t sense that Dylan ever really loved Baez. They had some great times together but he was more interested in his career than he was in her. He basked in her adoration and “rode” her until she carried him to fame. He used her and he admits it. How much did he love his wife? I don’t know about that.
@@PS109VanBurenHigh He was an ambitious man.

@@latitudeselongitudes1932 We're all just guessing, but your guesses sound good to me, partly because I'm 75, and partly because I relate to him more than to her.
One of my favorite songs sung by the sad eyed lady herself. And that is one heckish collection of photographs. Nicely done.
Great art is often rooted in deep pain, this song is proof. Dylan wrote the song for Sarah Lownds, then proposed to and married her, leaving his former love Joan Baez behind. Thus Joans other classic, Diamonds and Rust, which tells of how betrayed she felt. Dylan is the worlds greatest living poet and songwriter, but he sure did hurt those women who loved him, and he knows it. Thus his song of guilt and repentance Every Grain of Sand, another masterpiece.
What an era to have been a part of ... Never figured we'd be living in muck 50 years later ... Just my humble opinion
WILL NEVER GET MUSIC FROM THIS GENRE AND CALIBRE FOR A LONG TIME.😍😍😍😍😍
If I had been Dylan, I would have married Joan. A good woman. A beautiful human being.
But sadly youre not
She was in love with him, he wasn't.It was an opportunistic relation on his part. Privately he kept asking Suze Rotolo to marry him. After they parted he eventually married Sara.
Yes they were bound together
After I listened to a long interview with her on British television, I realized she is a genius in her own right. Smart and very principled.
Louisa Ti His loss, not her’s!
Her voice is absolutely perfect.
Jan. 2021, being homebody ..covd...would probably be crazy if not able to go back in time when these awesome poets, singers and writers made music unforgettable. Lovely.....
I've known the song ever since I bought Blonde on Blonde back in the distant day but listening to Joan perform it was transformational, wonderful, thank you.
She interprets his songs so well. Such a talent, both of them.
Thank you again from Joan to Joan Baez
Utterly, utterly phenomenal. Dylan and Baez… a timeless and neck-tingling combination. 💜💜💜👏👏👏
My first time hearing this song it just started playing and omg this is a heartbreaking song. Joan's voice
I loaned this record to a friend in 1971- I don’t think I’m going to get it back. Joan Baez brought out such a beautiful side of Dylan’s early songs on this album.
Anyone who loves Joan Baez and Bob Dylan hopefully will see this ... again and again. Thank you for posting this beautiful video... Cheers!
Thank you!

@@Anna-mt3hc Good to hear. I'm trying to remember but I'm pretty sure I was listening to Joan before Dylan.
Can only say “Wow”
What a most gorgeous lady singing such a deep sensitive song
fell in love with this lady about 50 years ago. She has just become more beautiful with the years and I have just realized that all the important women in my life have a striking resemblance to her.
I first saw and heard Joan Baez on TV when she was 19. I had never heard such a beautiful voice. She has been at my center ever since, she is part of my soul.
The more I listen to this song, the more I need to listen to it and her wonderful voice, more and more... I can't avoid it...
