At 77 years and facing the twilight of this and all that it is, it`s so nice to go back to a sane and comfortable time,,,,and imagine, this includes the 60`s.
What a great live version! His voice is deeper and more mature and he sings slower than on the record. She's good too, but I wish he were doing it on his own.
can you imagine writing a song and to have such a beautiful woman sing it back to you? I think Donovan seems a bit abashed...he may be reminded of the source of his words?
What I like about Donovan is that he has seen all the "stuff" of this world and yet has remained a normal once married down to earth man in the street!
Listening to the song and reading all the comments was so cool and everyone had fond memories and admiration for the deo . A song that will go down in history as a great number
Judging by Ms. Gayle's appearance, I'd guess somewhere near the mid-1970s. Donovan (born 10 May 1946) seems too youthful here for the 1980s - by then he looked a wee bit older. He first released the song early in 1965 when he was still 18 years old.
"He moved to Ireland in the early 1970s. After a ten years of success and endless touring Donovan was burned out. So, on the advice of his management team, he got away from it all at Castlemartin Estate in Co Kildare (later purchased by Tony O’Reilly). It was supposed to be a quick, recuperative trip. Yet, the longer he spent in Ireland the greater the empathy he felt, with the landscape, the people and the history."
Yep. And considering that Ms. Swift is far more musically talented than 99% of others who top the charts nowadays... I'll keep enjoying the sublime music of yesteryear.

If you're going to say stupid things ("conneries" in french) like that (and without arguments, what's more), you can really avoid polluting the comments!
You posted on the wrong page, sir. If you, however, did spot racism in this extraordinary lovely song & performance, then, well, I can only imagine your outrage when you are in the presence of actual racism. The finger-pointing, the foaming at the mouth! Meanwhile, the rest of us will just enjoy some beautiful music instead. Cheers!

She's clearly enjoying singing this beautiful song! As Donovan is enjoying singing along with her beautiful voice!
Truly one of the prettiest things I have ever heard.

@@dogsmusicbookstravelscience I agree with that

@@alanoneill3065 Interesting! He indeed looks like a healthy, content person here so yes, it points to that period in his life.
My parents caught the wind when I blew off at the dinner table and ruined the meal for everyone.
