I grew up in the 1950s in Cambridge, Mass., when she started singing. My brothers and I heard her and were thunderstruck by her voice, her presence, her songs, and that was it: we all learned the guitar and started singing the folk songs of that time and following, depth and power which have never been equalled... Thank you, Joan Baez!!
I am 78 and I remember her as the queen of folk singers. The most beautiful voice I have ever heard matched with a beautiful heart and soul. Bravo Joan , a little belated but hearfelt.
I'm 75, many years ago I was teenager and lived at Soviet Union, but I remember her beautiful songs! I heard every day Voice of America broadcastings, and of course, folk singers Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and others. Those were the days...
I first heard her in 1962. Fell for the voice immediately; an angelic sound with a haunting mix of tremolo and vibratto. Then came Charlotte Church from Wales! Absolutely the best voice I’ve ever heard. But she’s gone into pop stuff. More recently we’ve come to love Sissel Krkjebo, a Norwegian soprano (range = 4 octaves!) and Patricia Janeckova, a Czech/ German soprano, with a voice equal to Charlotte, now transitioning moving opera. Try them!
I am an 18-year-old guy from the Russian hinterland. I've been listening to Joan since I was 13. Her first song I heard was The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. I listened to absolutely all of her songs and remain a big fan of her. I love to sing a lot of the songs she sang. Joan is my favorite performer along with Paul Simon and Art Garfunke.
Eddy, how blessed we are to be able to still hear this wonderful pure voice - bless YOU - you have the sensitivity that many lack . . . I wonder how many teenagers have discovered the magic that you have......
I am now 74, and I have been a fan of Joan Baez since I was 20. She has a long time friend in the music business named Judy Collins whom I have followed since chill December's gloom, 1966 when i was walking down the street, no doing anything. I heard that voice wafting out of a record player, and it drew me like the sirens drew Ulysses. I attended one of her concerts in '68 at the Chicago Opera House, one at the Performing Arts Center, Auburn, Washington in '93, and Pier 51 at the Seattle waterfront in 2001. I most highly recommend her. You can find her easily on You Tube.
Same! Simon and Garfunkel got me hooked on folk and folk rock when I was a teenager, and I just discovered Joan this year. Have you listened to Jackson C. Frank?
@@violingirl477 ofc, Frank, Cohen, Dylan, I am familiar with the work of such musicians and with all this woodstock movement, although I will not say that I am a big fan, but I listen to such music from time to time. By the way, a couple of years ago I discovered the early period of Simon and Garfunkel (Tom & Jerry/ Tico And The Triumphs), in the rock and roll spirit of Everly Brothers, Ricky Nelson, Freddy Cannon and all that, it was pretty interesting considering I'm a huge fan of 50s pop music and I listened to probably all the smallest shabby bands of this time and I can probably already, like a neural network, generate all these songs with three chords and phrases like: "oh baby, my peggy/suzy/mary no matter what your name is, oh my little donna, eeny meeny miny shminy mona you were an angel, I was a fool, you were sixteen, I was lonely and blue " anyway, these are soulful songs, love them with all my heart, they saved me in the worst moments of my life. By the way, a few more words about american/ australian folk music: I also listened to folk-country bands like the Seekers, Peter and Mary Paul during my middle school days hahaha.
@@Quentin217 Oh of course I know Judy! now, to be honest, nothing pops up in my head except amazing grace in her performance, but in general I am familiar with her work, she has an amazing vibrato, just like Joan, there are several good songs from Amy Annelle in a similar style, she does not have such a powerful voice but Buckskin Stallion blues is not bad
She is the most amazing singer. I'll be 72, I saw her at the The Cole Field house at UM. I WAS 21 . SHE SANG WITHOUT SPECIAL ENHANCEMENTS SHE DIDN'T NEED THEM.
Plus a flawless Americana guitar technique , fluid sounding, simple but tricky as hell to pull off while singing, A lot of dedicated practice and natural god given talent . 💖
Olivia a girl I lived off and on with grew up in Carmel, California. Joan was a neighbor I've met Joan's sister. Joan is such a GENIUS singing of Life that we all have seen and understand so well in life. Thanks Joan for sharing your GIFT.
Now THIS is a concert! Joan by herself comes out with her guitar and just plays the songs. KEWL. Thank God for the BBC perfectly capturing Joan in her heyday.
Estou com 69 anos e aos 16 amava ouvir Joan Baez. As cantoras atuais deveriam ter vergonha de dizer que cantam. Vejam aí, somente com o violão, vestida e sem recursos fonográficos. Maravilha!! 👏👏👏🇧🇷
I'm 74 now. And Joan was also the first singer who just grabbed my heart. I still have an endless crush on her, on her wondrous life and on her gorgeous voice and talent.
She came as an angel to wake up people's consciousness and with her unique lovely voice; she will return to the angels one day but her songs, her voice, her message will be with us forever. Thanks, Joan! I have seen some of your late concerts and they were just awesome. Million thanks!
If there is such a thing as falling in love with someone's voice, I fell for the purest of voices from the moment I heard Joan Baez singing " There But For Fortune" on a pop station in Los Angeles. I remember as a teenage girl listening to all the songs of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Left Banke, the Beau Brummels and then the dj played, "There But for Fortune" and I couldn't believe this girl's voice who was singing. I was in awe, almost sat there paralyzed by her beautiful voice. I really could not believe someone could sing like this. It effected me to that degree. After the song ended, the Dj announced who the singer was; it was Joan Baez. I had not heard of her before at that time. I was about 14 years old and just was in awe and astounded by her voice.....and fell in love with her voice from that day on........until I heard about Donovan, and well...fell in love with him AND his singing, "Catch the Wind." 😚 It was Joan Baez and Donovan for me forever from the age of 14 onwards.
So amazing to learn that an LA station had such a broad repertoire as to include 'There But For Fortune' which was composed by the great Phil Ochs (who killed himself in 1976). I wonder if that station also played songs by Bob Dylan or covers of his work? Certainly, Donovan's 'Catch the Wind' was a staple on rock stations in the USA and Britain. I recommend that you watch a film (if you haven't) called 'Don't Look Back' , a documentary by the accomplished D. A. Pennebaker, which includes footage of Donovan and Dylan meeting each other as well as Joan Baez in the mix as it is a film covering Dylan's first tour of England circa 1965. Dylan and Baez are included together in many scenes as she accompanied him there.
I recorded both of these concerts on my primitive second-hand reel to reel tape recorder through the TV speakers the very nights of these first live BBC broadcasts. Utterly blown away at 16 - instant life-long love, shivers down the spine - never heard any thing like it. And I was watching her hands all the while so I could see what she was doing - simple chord progressions with the left hand but at that time unprecedented right hand technique for a folk player. The divine sincerity of that voice! I was so smitten with her guitar technique that I imitated it for the next 7 years before taking my first classical lessons at 23, learning virtually everything on her first 5 albums. Now 73, I'm still taking them. That would never have happened without her inspiration.
BBC captured so many great artists in their concert series. Excellent audio, as always. Thanks to BBC for allowing us to enjoy this Joan Baez concert from more than a half century ago.
She had the voice of an angel ...alone in a dark scenery, no sparking lights, no special effects at all ...complete and absolutely unplugged ... w/her face bare naked, no makeup ...100% natural ... not a great band accompanying her ... only her acoustic guitar ...and her angel voice ... with those letters ...what a lyrics ...a total woman ...a tear in my eye ... you won't see a female artist that kind anymore.
As one guy I met when I lived in the US whom had seen her live in that blessed era once told me: you could have hear a pin drop!! How jealous I am of these people who could SEE her in that time...
Reminds me of the days when i was a child 7ys old. Now I have retired makes me wonder did that train my brain to think about ways to look after others. Using my eyes and my ears at the start of a project to make sure I did my way then to assist everone who did things to look after those people who looked after the person. Watching, listening. Ask gently repeat that to confirm yes it was right or wrong.. Further and further aloung the "line" was in their ways to able look after the person. Then the team was able to do their best to look after the person at the start. When it was finished. Then check it again. That was the start for the next project for the next. A protect for me or others. Jk ex project manager in Ireland. I wonder. That was one of the many songs peoms and reading that assisted me looking after, my family.? In my ways
This is the Joan Baez I remember falling in love with....so young, so pure, and and her voice transported me into ecstasy.....every new album that came out was like the Super Bowl must be for sports fans.
I loved her music from the first time I heard her sing. It was soon after Woodstock, and Odetta was on the same disc. I bought everything from vinyl to cd's, I did not always agree with her Liberal views but have loved her music always.
Her control of dynamics, both vocally and instrumentally, is incredible. It adds to the impact of her musical storytelling. She's the first woman I ever had a boyhood crush on as well.
Solamente ella, su guitarra, su sonrisa y su voz... Cómo con tan poco se puede lograr algo tan bello. Escuchar su voz es llegar también a su alma... Gracias Joan Baez, por siempre gracias por ser parte de nuestras vidas.
Precious gem, from a precious human being, a rare soul. Joan Baez keeps her journey, now on her eights, with the same enormous talent ( she is now painting wonderfully), brilliant inteligence, and unshakable commitment to mankind. She is the personification of Organized Love, a bodhysattva. God bless and keep you , forever, Joan Baez. Amor e gratidão, from Brasil.
I think by any stretch of the imagination this performance is just awesome. All she needed was her voice and her guitar. And what a voice. So pure and seemingly effortless. On this performance alone she must rank as one of the great female singers of her time and in fact of any time.
I was blessed to see Joan on her farewell concert at the Royal Albert Hall and she sang all the favourites and I could have just floated away on her voice, she has an ethereal presence when she performs, majestic Lady.
La más bella, no solo físicamente; su voz llega a las entrañas de quien se deleita oyendo una voz tan espectacular. Gracias Joan Baez. Saludos desde Colombia.
Eine wundervolle Stimme und ihre Texte haben Sinn ❤️🙏.Sie ist eine der sehr wenigen Sängerinnen die immer authentisch geblieben ist 👍👍👍. Möge sie noch ein langes gesundes Leben haben 🙏🍀🙏
Joan Baez is my favor singer since 40 years ago. But I Don't know why? A friend sent me a song 'House of Rising Sun' that remained me Joan Baez. Remained me she is a brave girl. She fight with the evil world with the voice of the oppressed and believed passionately in Truth and Justice. I respect to her.
I really love listening to Joan Baez 's music as it brings me back to so many memories of back in the day!!! I really loved growing up in the sixties and seventies because the music can never be replaced. Her music soothes my heart and my soul. Joan Baez is one of the Very BEST!!! I listen to her all the time. JOAN BAEZ 'S MUSIC ROCKS! PEACE
I saw Joan in concert earlier this year (2016). Of course her voice is not what it was back in the day, but the magic is still there, which is more about who she was and still is. The audio here is really excellent considering the age of the recording. After 55 years of performing, I love her as much as when I first found her as a teenager. God bless her.
Hacía mucho que no escuchaba a Yoan Báez, su voz cristalina me llegó al corazón en mis años de juventud. Grande su lucha por los derechos humanos, por su No a la guerra me abrió el camino a mi lucha por esa libertad tan anhelada por todas y todos. Su voz me llega al alma.
Recien la escucho y me impresionó la "profundidad" de su voz. La acabo de descubrir al ver su nombre subtitulado en una serie de mi adolescencia con el sonido de FOREVER JOUNG Como fondo musical de un capítulo. Y como cereza del pastel...se parece a una chica que admiré mucho hace años atrás, por eso mismo, por su belleza, mezclada, exótica, interior y exterior. Caray que sorpresas da la vida.
+William Murray - What has happened to our American language?!!! Not being a racist, I had no idea that "calling a spade a spade" was "RACIAL CODE" all I thought of was playing cards!
+William Murray - I'm not political (NOT a "party" person!). The GOP lost the best of the "hopefuls"-AND- Trump is DANGEROUS! Should Trump become the face of America, we'll be a laughing stock - the biggest world-wide losers-ever! It's appalling to think it possible he could occupy the highest office in our nation for the next 4 years!
oj shilinski how right you are. never thought it possible that we would actually end up with an imbecile for president. trouble is he actually has the power to render the whole world into atomic wasteland. There but for fortune. actually we desperately need people like joan speaking up to minimise impact.
Mailinn, I agree. Having a high i.q. bodes nothing but danger when it's a demagogue. This president has demonized everyone who opposes or has any kind of criticism of him, while unhesitatingly extolling virtues of Putin, Stalin, Lenin and other "strongmen" and emboldens like-minded hearts. His choice of Steve Bannon proves his weakness and need for a stronger individual than himself to help achieve his goal of complete control. His desire to destroy the media and free speech is definitely un-American. Bitter hatred unleashed in the hearts of followers who are emboldened to say and do anything they want regardless of who is hurt is something we've not dealt with in our lifetimes. The constant barrage of rhetoric coming out of the mouth of this man in rallys, tweets, TV, and Internet seems unstoppable.
William Murray, you are one of the types Trump has gotten to bow down to him; but, evidently, he's incapable of understanding why/how he can't get a majority of Americans rallying to his side as people like you have. He demonized the Electoral College until they awarded him the prize. What amazes me is how people like you can call those you don't agree with "morons" but can't comprehend what that actually says of you....?
When i was made to sing this in school, in front of my high school English class, it was in the days before the internet and before youtube...so I had never heard Baez' rendition of the song. I am hearing it for the first time now. It's lovely.
What an amazing lady (both for her music and hee humanism) and what an amazing voice. I discovered her in my teens (in India, far away from the land she lived in and whose folk roots do shaped her music, displaying the universal power of music) and 25 years later is still one of my favorites. Her songs and her activism are more relevant now than ever, when fasicm, xenophobia and bigotry are on the rise in major democracies around the world....
If you know that she had such stagefright that often and travelled therefore with her sister to take care for her ... this calmness here is amazing! And the messages here are so superb! An angel!
First heard Miss Baez in 1965 whilst in the RAF defending democracy, singing 'copper kettle'. her voice made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. After all these years her voice still does that to me. Best is, I think Plaisair d'amour or Mary Hamilton. Many thanks for sharing your lovely voice with us
I didn't say it was only democracies that drop bombs on children I said that there is nothing democratic about dropping bombs on children. This is almost the opposite of what you have claimed I wrote, so I suggest you read comments more closely in the future.
Few people at the time knew she was Hispanic. Until she played a club owned by a Racist owner in the early 60's. He told her to get out. A young up and comer named Zimmerman said," If she can't play, neither will I." Mr. Dylan was very famous at the time. Needless to say the Club owner changed his mind very quickly.
Esta señora estaba peleada con el agua y el jabón y gracias a ella y algunas como ella, sufrimos hoy en día las gilipolleces de la Agenda 2030,los chiringuitos del "clima" Climático y la plaga del nazi feminismo y chanchullos LGTBI.
I am 74 now but forever I will remember the time when the "protest years of the sixties" in the Philippines was just starting and in every youth rally we played JB's "Donna Donna". It was always a great hit. Till today, we love that girl and her voice and the essence of that song will be etched forever in our hearts.
Joan Baez , ha dejado huella en muchos corazones, por su voz y las canciones , su actitud de Protesta a lo que ocurria en ese momento y buscando un mundo mejor. Gracias.
Joan's music OMG what can I say? Her music just brings me to tears its so sooo very beautiful Her singing voice is that of a angel of heaven!!!!! God bless you Joan Beaz!!!!
What a brave lady! She spoke out against the Vietnam war and the IRS on national TV. When you see music today glorifying guns,sex and drugs it makes you appreciate the power of a guitar and a beautiful courageous voice!
Raw Zen But will she speak out against black on black crime in the country of South Chicago? Will she be a truth seeker, even if it means crossing the political aisle at times?
Danielchai S It is no longer up to these celebrities to fix things. Most celebrities are agents working for hidden sources. It is our duty to shine the light on the "Black and white" crime that has split the minds of the masses on the "checker board" of mind control. The people must wake up and take this information age seriously so that we can "sun block" the dark light coming from these "entities" that see "humans" as their daily vitamin.
That was then, now is now. -- the liberal Democrat is as washed up as Joan, Dylan, Emmy Lou and Dolly. -- now it's a drug world, and cry baby sanctuary cities, while homeless Americans are dying buy the dozens. Vietnam made Boeing and GM Billions, Thanks JFK LBJ Democrats all.--- How fricking rich do the guitar bangers need to be anymore.
An EXTRAORDINARY, classic folk performance by one of the best folk singers EVER! Joan is a gift to music of the heart and head........then, now and forever.
This unbelievably marvellous voice - like a clear bell... Joan Baez was a legend when I was young, in the 1970s, 80s, and she still is a legend today... The voice may have become somewhat more husky, but it's still wonderful... And in these incredibly painful days, when a crazed dictator is raining down death and destruction on places that I know and which I love, I find myself returning once more to Joan Baez... for solace, probably...
Спасибо интернету ❤. Случайно встретила чистый и светлый голос. Не возможно оторваться, он обволакивает, и я чувствую себя в безопасности. Я плохо знаю английский. Но мне понравилось. ❤❤❤
Una artista sin dimensión histórica nunca puede volverse un clásico..pero algunos privilegiados alcanzan el grado de mito o leyenda.. está dama, se ganó todo el derecho a ser ícono de los derechos civiles ,más que música...es un mensaje viviente que trabsversalizo culturas y naciones Ella y Dylan están fundidos a bronce para una generación de norteamericanos.... pero Joan siguió en su compromiso, valiente,empoderada en sus principios, muchas veces traicionada .... un ser resiliente y fantástico... Un ser mágico de la historia humana,
Got that right!!! One of the best voices of the 60s... and she didn't hesitate to use it effectively, for causes she believed in - even if it caused many to dislike her because she challenged the Status Quo and championed the marginalized in our society and in the world at large.
I heard Joan Baez singing a capella as the sun went down in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh in 2003, at the end of the Concert for a Landmine-free World. Her voice was still supreme, her articulation so clear. One of the most magical experiences of my life.
The opening line of Baez's memoir And a Voice to Sing With is "I was born gifted" (referencing her singing voice, which she explained was given to her, and for which she can take no credit). A friend of Joan's father gave her a ukulele. She learned four chords, which enabled her to play rhythm and blues, the music she was listening to at the time. Her parents, however, were fearful that the music would lead her into a life of drug addiction. When Baez was 13, her aunt and her aunt's boyfriend took her to a concert by folk musician Pete Seeger, and Baez found herself strongly moved by his music. She soon began practicing the songs of his repertoire and performing them publicly. One of her very earliest public performances was at a retreat in Saratoga, California, for a youth group from Temple Beth Jacob, a Redwood City, California, congregation. In 1957, Baez bought her first Gibson acoustic guitar.
Eternal gratitude for the 79 years of talent dedicated to the spread of love organized into activism. May the angels of God continue to be light, inspiration and strength in your journey, dear Joan Baez. From Brasil, with love, luci. Gratidão eterna pelos 79 anos de talento dedicado à propagação do Amor Organizado em ativismo. Que os anjos de Deus continuem sendo luz , inspiração e força na sua jornada, querida Joan Baez. Do Brasil, com Amor,Luci.
This is fabulous. Just a guitar & her incredible voice, no over amplified mixing with the bass turned up so high it hurts your ears. 1965 I was 18 & had just discovered all types of folk music & seriously fancied her, I'm 74 now & still love folk music & still fancy her.
An excellent piece of true Americana, truly representative of the hopes and concerns of the common people. Thanks Joan for decades of giving. Merry Christmas; peace on earth to ALL Mankind. 12/2018
I recorded her concerts from TV via a tape recorder held against the set. I was enthralled then and have never lost it. - To actually see the concert visually makes my tapes redundant. You Tube makes all this possible. - People forget that we didn't have this equipement back then. But some good souls have somehow managed to bring it to us. - So many of the old songsters and musicians are now there for us all to get at the touch of a button. Fabulous...Thank all you people who download..
As a young French girl, I heard her and I was hooked. someone with such clarity in her voice and a conscience too. It is thanks to her that I now have a Masters in Education and Professional development: she made it easy to learn English. I would listen to her for hours and imitate her [only I do not have such a great voice].
I heard her sing blessed are in 1980 and was convinced she was the best. ( I was 20) But I had no idea until today that she was that dynamic and charismatic.
I was just going to spoil Joan with the title of National Treasure and then realized... She has been and always will be an international treasure because of what she did as an activist for fairness and justice for all. At age 6, I saw her as a young French boy in a place called Chateau Vallon near Toulon, in Provence. She was sitting with a couple of other ladies in a room of the Chateau, probably rehearsing for a concert she gave at that place the next day. I saw her through a half open door, and I froze, listening to her. She was playing her famous Martin guitar. My parents dragged me away, as they thought I was not polite. That was the day I got imprinted with her magic voice and fell deep in love with American root music. It's been so worth the 5 seconds' lack of politeness.
what a talented performer.....keeping an entire audience so spellbound with her mere voice and a guitar.....and of course her smiles and pleasantries she exchanges with her audience off and on .....overall, typical of Joan Baez, she makes a meaningful cause every time she is on stage . Thanks for the video.
23.01.2021 It's 02:09 AM here and I'm 16 rn. Joan Baez randomly showed up in my timeline and I started to listen her concert records. Despite these songs, her covers for songs of Zülfü Livaneli (some of them were poems by Nazım Hikmet, these are artists that I really adore) were the first ones that burst me into tears. Leaving this message here, maybe, just maybe, years after I got a notification or remember this video and came back here again. I don't know If this time machine stuff would actually work but I loved the possibility.

I'm 73 now. This was the first singer I ever admired and collected. And I never stopped being a fan. For the voice - and the personality!
I am only 23 and discovered Joan this year. She sings so tenderly, it makes me calm)
me too

A voice, a guitar, and a microphone. Pure talent!
Imagine! A troubadour on a big stage with no backup but her own guitar, delivering such perfection. That's why as as a teenager, I worshiped her.
Is she living now?
She is the most amazing singer.
I'll be 72, I saw her at the The Cole Field house at UM.
I WAS 21 .
SHE SANG WITHOUT SPECIAL ENHANCEMENTS
SHE DIDN'T NEED THEM.
@@asmecan4596 yes.
A True musical genius
We could use more performers on today's world stage
Peace

I saw her twice live in Connecticut I am so grateful.

Estou com 69 anos e aos 16 amava ouvir Joan Baez. As cantoras atuais deveriam ter vergonha de dizer que cantam. Vejam aí, somente com o violão, vestida e sem recursos fonográficos. Maravilha!! 👏👏👏🇧🇷
Sem processamento digital, pura voz e magnífica.
A Sra tem toda razão. Mas no passado também tivemos ótimos exemplos por aqui: Elizeth Cardoso e no presente Roberta Sá
Someone get this girl a hormonica
I'm 74 now. And Joan was also the first singer who just grabbed my heart. I still have an endless crush on her, on her wondrous life and on her gorgeous voice and talent.
Yes, I'm 79 now, but she had me crying when I was 19 years old back in 1963. I've loved her for 60 years.
all the same here!!!
She came as an angel to wake up people's consciousness and with her unique lovely voice; she will return to the angels one day but her songs, her voice, her message will be with us forever. Thanks, Joan! I have seen some of your late concerts and they were just awesome. Million thanks!
If there is such a thing as falling in love with someone's voice, I fell for the purest of voices from the moment I heard Joan Baez singing " There But For Fortune" on a pop station in Los Angeles. I remember as a teenage girl listening to all the songs of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Left Banke, the Beau Brummels and then the dj played, "There But for Fortune" and I couldn't believe this girl's voice who was singing. I was in awe, almost sat there paralyzed by her beautiful voice. I really could not believe someone could sing like this. It effected me to that degree. After the song ended, the Dj announced who the singer was; it was Joan Baez. I had not heard of her before at that time. I was about 14 years old and just was in awe and astounded by her voice.....and fell in love with her voice from that day on........until I heard about Donovan, and well...fell in love with him AND his singing, "Catch the Wind." 😚
It was Joan Baez and Donovan for me forever from the age of 14 onwards.
So amazing to learn that an LA station had such a broad repertoire as to include 'There But For Fortune' which was composed by the great Phil Ochs (who killed himself in 1976). I wonder if that station also played songs by Bob Dylan or covers of his work? Certainly, Donovan's 'Catch the Wind' was a staple on rock stations in the USA and Britain. I recommend that you watch a film (if you haven't) called 'Don't Look Back' , a documentary by the accomplished D. A. Pennebaker, which includes footage of Donovan and Dylan meeting each other as well as Joan Baez in the mix as it is a film covering Dylan's first tour of England circa 1965. Dylan and Baez are included together in many scenes as she accompanied him there.
You should add the great and inforgettable Phil Ochs, IMO. For me, it's the 3 of them.
@@josephmassone7379 I utterly agree of course.
I recorded both of these concerts on my primitive second-hand reel to reel tape recorder through the TV speakers the very nights of these first live BBC broadcasts. Utterly blown away at 16 - instant life-long love, shivers down the spine - never heard any thing like it. And I was watching her hands all the while so I could see what she was doing - simple chord progressions with the left hand but at that time unprecedented right hand technique for a folk player. The divine sincerity of that voice! I was so smitten with her guitar technique that I imitated it for the next 7 years before taking my first classical lessons at 23, learning virtually everything on her first 5 albums. Now 73, I'm still taking them. That would never have happened without her
inspiration.
Her voice brought tears to my eyes, what a beautiful voice!
아름다운 표현입니다 , Beautiful Expression ,,,,!!!!!
BBC captured so many great artists in their concert series. Excellent audio, as always. Thanks to BBC for allowing us to enjoy this Joan Baez concert from more than a half century ago.
This is a tune I still sing quietly to myself 50 years later. Ahhh Joan Baez, we are grateful we learned from you.
Hello,how are you doing?
She had the voice of an angel ...alone in a dark scenery, no sparking lights, no special effects at all ...complete and absolutely unplugged ... w/her face bare naked, no makeup ...100% natural ... not a great band accompanying her ... only her acoustic guitar ...and her angel voice ... with those letters ...what a lyrics ...a total woman ...a tear in my eye ... you won't see a female artist that kind anymore.
As one guy I met when I lived in the US whom had seen her live in that blessed era once told me: you could have hear a pin drop!! How jealous I am of these people who could SEE her in that time...
Reminds me of the days when i was a child 7ys old. Now I have retired makes me wonder did that train my brain to think about ways to look after others. Using my eyes and my ears at the start of a project to make sure I did my way then to assist everone who did things to look after those people who looked after the person. Watching, listening. Ask gently repeat that to confirm yes it was right or wrong.. Further and further aloung the "line" was in their ways to able look after the person. Then the team was able to do their best to look after the person at the start. When it was finished. Then check it again. That was the start for the next project for the next. A protect for me or others. Jk ex project manager in Ireland. I wonder. That was one of the many songs peoms and reading that assisted me looking after, my family.? In my ways
They don't come easy that's for sure but there is still a few of them out there.
The most beautriful voice ever...she sounds like angel when she sings
One of my all time favs, saw her in concert in the 60's & 70's, 80's and on. What a presence, what a voice. Very penetrating and powerful.
This is the Joan Baez I remember falling in love with....so young, so pure, and and her voice transported me into ecstasy.....every new album that came out was like the Super Bowl must be for sports fans.
Hello,how are you doing?
I loved her music from the first time I heard her sing. It was soon after Woodstock, and Odetta was on the same disc. I bought everything from vinyl to cd's, I did not always agree with her Liberal views but have loved her music always.
@@bettyebarker3249 Me too, where are you from?
God sent an angel on earth that's for sure! What a voice! I never heard a voice as beautiful and pure than this one. That's the best voice on earth!
Her control of dynamics, both vocally and instrumentally, is incredible. It adds to the impact of her musical storytelling. She's the first woman I ever had a boyhood crush on as well.
🌹 🙇♀️💓👍🥰 Thankyou dear Joan you’ve been a great light in my life 💓
Solamente ella, su guitarra, su sonrisa y su voz...
Cómo con tan poco se puede lograr algo tan bello.
Escuchar su voz es llegar también a su alma...
Gracias Joan Baez, por siempre gracias por ser parte de nuestras vidas.
Precious gem, from a precious human being, a rare soul. Joan Baez keeps her journey, now on her eights, with the same enormous talent ( she is now painting wonderfully), brilliant inteligence, and unshakable commitment to mankind. She is the personification of Organized Love, a bodhysattva. God bless and keep you , forever, Joan Baez. Amor e gratidão, from Brasil.
I think by any stretch of the imagination this performance is just awesome. All she needed was her voice and her guitar. And what a voice. So pure and seemingly effortless. On this performance alone she must rank as one of the great female singers of her time and in fact of any time.
You're right
I agree the most talented of them all, voice guitar lyrics
Yup. Beyond words beautiful. A miracle. No frills. Just Joan. (pun intended)
And, a lovely smile.
What a song writer, artist.
I was blessed to see Joan on her farewell concert at the Royal Albert Hall and she sang all the favourites and I could have just floated away on her voice, she has an ethereal presence when she performs, majestic Lady.
My dad brought her album home, my dad played it over and over, my mom was so jealous of her😊.
She was very young when she sang this song, but showed a deep and mature understanding of its meaning.
Now 80 years old
La más bella, no solo físicamente; su voz llega a las entrañas de quien se deleita oyendo una voz tan espectacular. Gracias Joan Baez. Saludos desde Colombia.
Eine wundervolle Stimme und ihre Texte haben Sinn ❤️🙏.Sie ist eine der sehr wenigen Sängerinnen die immer authentisch geblieben ist 👍👍👍.
Möge sie noch ein langes gesundes Leben haben 🙏🍀🙏
I found a vinyl last night in my basement of her singing live, and it made my hands shake because her voice was so angelic. It's beautiful.
I have all the early vinyls, couldn’t ever part with them.
I'm a 65 year old fan from the Garhwal Himalaya, India. She keeps mesmerising us all and every time!!
By the time of this broadcast I was well into folk music, I was so impressed by the clarity of her voice just beautiful.
true
grew up in London UK in the sixties, Bob Dylan and Joan Baez ...what a musical era, with conscience and hope, to my late beloved wife Joan XX
Joan Baez is my favor singer since 40 years ago. But I Don't know why? A friend sent me a song 'House of Rising Sun' that remained me Joan Baez. Remained me she is a brave girl. She fight with the evil world with the voice of the oppressed and believed passionately in Truth and Justice. I respect to her.
I really love listening to Joan Baez 's music as it brings me back to so many memories of back in the day!!! I really loved growing up in the sixties and seventies because the music can never be replaced. Her music soothes my heart and my soul. Joan Baez is one of the Very BEST!!! I listen to her all the time. JOAN BAEZ 'S MUSIC ROCKS! PEACE
Hello,how are you doing?
I saw Joan in concert earlier this year (2016). Of course her voice is not what it was back in the day, but the magic is still there, which is more about who she was and still is. The audio here is really excellent considering the age of the recording. After 55 years of performing, I love her as much as when I first found her as a teenager. God bless her.
I've been in love with this beautiful lady since watching this concert in 1965. And what a fantastic singer!
I was 16. My English teacher gave me her album to listen to Joan. I never looked back. Such a pure, beautiful voice. I sm 75.
Hacía mucho que no escuchaba a Yoan Báez, su voz cristalina me llegó al corazón en mis años de juventud. Grande su lucha por los derechos humanos, por su No a la guerra me abrió el camino a mi lucha por esa libertad tan anhelada por todas y todos.
Su voz me llega al alma.
Recien la escucho y me impresionó la "profundidad" de su voz. La acabo de descubrir al ver su nombre subtitulado en una serie de mi adolescencia con el sonido de FOREVER JOUNG Como fondo musical de un capítulo. Y como cereza del pastel...se parece a una chica que admiré mucho hace años atrás, por eso mismo, por su belleza, mezclada, exótica, interior y exterior. Caray que sorpresas da la vida.
I've always loved the beautiful crystal clarity of her singing voice...she was a brave soul and didn't hesitate calling a spade a spade........
+William Murray - What has happened to our American language?!!! Not being a racist, I had no idea that "calling a spade a spade" was "RACIAL CODE" all I thought of was playing cards!
+William Murray - I'm not political (NOT a "party" person!). The GOP lost the best of the "hopefuls"-AND- Trump is DANGEROUS! Should Trump become the face of America, we'll be a laughing stock - the biggest world-wide losers-ever! It's appalling to think it possible he could occupy the highest office in our nation for the next 4 years!
oj shilinski how right you are. never thought it possible that we would actually end up with an imbecile for president. trouble is he actually has the power to render the whole world into atomic wasteland. There but for fortune. actually we desperately need people like joan speaking up to minimise impact.
Mailinn, I agree. Having a high i.q. bodes nothing but danger when it's a demagogue. This president has demonized everyone who opposes or has any kind of criticism of him, while unhesitatingly extolling virtues of Putin, Stalin, Lenin and other "strongmen" and emboldens like-minded hearts. His choice of Steve Bannon proves his weakness and need for a stronger individual than himself to help achieve his goal of complete control. His desire to destroy the media and free speech is definitely un-American. Bitter hatred unleashed in the hearts of followers who are emboldened to say and do anything they want regardless of who is hurt is something we've not dealt with in our lifetimes. The constant barrage of rhetoric coming out of the mouth of this man in rallys, tweets, TV, and Internet seems unstoppable.
William Murray, you are one of the types Trump has gotten to bow down to him; but, evidently, he's incapable of understanding why/how he can't get a majority of Americans rallying to his side as people like you have.
He demonized the Electoral College until they awarded him the prize.
What amazes me is how people like you can call those you don't agree with "morons" but can't comprehend what that actually says of you....?
When i was made to sing this in school, in front of my high school English class, it was in the days before the internet and before youtube...so I had never heard Baez' rendition of the song. I am hearing it for the first time now. It's lovely.
I discovered Joan Baez when I was 18/19, fell in love with her voice then, and still am in love with her voice 40 years later.
What an amazing lady (both for her music and hee humanism) and what an amazing voice. I discovered her in my teens (in India, far away from the land she lived in and whose folk roots do shaped her music, displaying the universal power of music) and 25 years later is still one of my favorites. Her songs and her activism are more relevant now than ever, when fasicm, xenophobia and bigotry are on the rise in major democracies around the world....
Just listening to this performance makes me cry, makes me reflective but mostly that I regret never seeing her perform live.
@@nickhind5672 I feel the same. I'm in the mood for crying .
She is great by herself - without effects, back vocals, lipsynch, dancers, promoters... Right place to produce right notes from - very simple
If you know that she had such stagefright that often and travelled therefore with her sister to take care for her ... this calmness here is amazing! And the messages here are so superb! An angel!
First heard Miss Baez in 1965 whilst in the RAF defending democracy, singing 'copper kettle'. her voice made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. After all these years her voice still does that to me. Best is, I think Plaisair d'amour or Mary Hamilton. Many thanks for sharing your lovely voice with us
+tony fosh if you learnt anything from Baez it would be that nothing about being in the RAF is to do with 'defending democracy'.
+freddiemercerful Mmm
You are right about all those things apart from democracy, nothing particularly democratic about blowing the fuck out of defenceless children.
I didn't say it was only democracies that drop bombs on children I said that there is nothing democratic about dropping bombs on children. This is almost the opposite of what you have claimed I wrote, so I suggest you read comments more closely in the future.
Yeah I think you left your caps lock on mate.
Joan Baez deserves Nobel peace prize
Few people at the time knew she was Hispanic. Until she played a club owned by a Racist owner in the early 60's. He told her to get out. A young up and comer named Zimmerman said," If she can't play, neither will I." Mr. Dylan was very famous at the time. Needless to say the Club owner changed his mind very quickly.
YES! I agree, she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize
💓
Agree absolutely!
Esta señora estaba peleada con el agua y el jabón y gracias a ella y algunas como ella, sufrimos hoy en día las gilipolleces de la Agenda 2030,los chiringuitos del "clima" Climático y la plaga del nazi feminismo y chanchullos LGTBI.
I don't care what she is singing, her voice never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
And to uplift
William Hunter Same happens to me!
Her voice and songs reach and touch my deepest soul.
Care, if you add the lyrics to the melody and her voice, your pleasure will be greater.
William Hunter I thought I was the only one... My mum used to sing her songs when I was a kid.
I am 74 now but forever I will remember the time when the "protest years of the sixties" in the Philippines was just starting and in every youth rally we played JB's "Donna Donna". It was always a great hit. Till today, we love that girl and her voice and the essence of that song will be etched forever in our hearts.
Joan Baez , ha dejado huella en muchos corazones, por su voz y las canciones , su actitud de Protesta a lo que ocurria en ese momento y buscando un mundo mejor. Gracias.
She was and still is a massive part of my life. With Bob Dylan. Absolute geniuses grew up loving them.
Me too, both are a part of my life, not in america, but in Europet 🙏oo
Joan's music OMG what can I say? Her music just brings me to tears its so sooo very beautiful Her singing voice is that of a angel of heaven!!!!! God bless you Joan Beaz!!!!
Yo la conocí en los años 60, tengo 75 y sigo viendo el cielo cuando la escucho.
" There But For Fortunes" just plain knocks it out of the park, and that voice , Well done!!
her voice had a lot of vibrato. More so than most popular singers.Every note on pitch.
What a brave lady! She spoke out against the Vietnam war and the IRS on national TV. When you see music today glorifying guns,sex and drugs it makes you appreciate the power of a guitar and a beautiful courageous voice!
joan baez website
Raw Zen
But will she speak out against black on black crime in the country of South Chicago?
Will she be a truth seeker, even if it means crossing the political aisle at times?
Danielchai S It is no longer up to these celebrities to fix things. Most celebrities are agents working for hidden sources. It is our duty to shine the light on the "Black and white" crime that has split the minds of the masses on the "checker board" of mind control. The people must wake up and take this information age seriously so that we can "sun block" the dark light coming from these "entities" that see "humans" as their daily vitamin.
Raw Zen indeed!!!
That was then, now is now. -- the liberal Democrat is as washed up as Joan, Dylan, Emmy Lou and Dolly. -- now it's a drug world, and cry baby sanctuary cities, while homeless Americans are dying buy the dozens. Vietnam made Boeing and GM Billions, Thanks JFK LBJ Democrats all.--- How fricking rich do the guitar bangers need to be anymore.
Esa voz y canciones inolvidables que acompañaron mi adolescencia y juventud...amo a Joan Baez!!!
An EXTRAORDINARY, classic folk performance by one of the best folk singers EVER! Joan is a gift to music of the heart and head........then, now and forever.
This unbelievably marvellous voice - like a clear bell... Joan Baez was a legend when I was young, in the 1970s, 80s, and she still is a legend today... The voice may have become somewhat more husky, but it's still wonderful... And in these incredibly painful days, when a crazed dictator is raining down death and destruction on places that I know and which I love, I find myself returning once more to Joan Baez... for solace, probably...
Душою з Вамi.. 🇺🇦
Rușii se duc la 'plajă!Oare ce o fi în capetele lor ignorante?
She has a certain ethereal quality about her that no other performer encapsulates. Dylan is lucky to have loved her.
She loved Dylan as well. It was around the mid-1960's when they were involved in a romance for a while.
They are soulmates. He was stupid to let her go.
Спасибо интернету ❤. Случайно встретила чистый и светлый голос. Не возможно оторваться, он обволакивает, и я чувствую себя в безопасности. Я плохо знаю английский. Но мне понравилось. ❤❤❤
A beautiful folk singer with a real social message. Without equal❤.
Una artista sin dimensión histórica nunca puede volverse un clásico..pero algunos privilegiados alcanzan el grado de mito o leyenda.. está dama, se ganó todo el derecho a ser ícono de los derechos civiles ,más que música...es un mensaje viviente que trabsversalizo culturas y naciones
Ella y Dylan están fundidos a bronce para una generación de norteamericanos.... pero Joan siguió en su compromiso, valiente,empoderada en sus principios, muchas veces traicionada .... un ser resiliente y fantástico...
Un ser mágico de la historia humana,
Oh Joan Peaz, you make me feel I wish I can sing… her songs are beautiful
and a true reflection of what she believed and felt. And they are timeless.
Hello,how are you doing?
I could listen to her all day....love her voice
Got that right!!! One of the best voices of the 60s... and she didn't hesitate to use it effectively, for causes she believed in - even if it caused many to dislike her because she challenged the Status Quo and championed the marginalized in our society and in the world at large.
Copy that
Mujer de oro!!!, hermosa y humana, tu voz con una orquesta de angeles....
솔밭사이로 강물은 흐르고 .....
이노래를 처음 듣던 그때의 감동은
지금도 잊혀 지지가 않습니다 .....
Just love this mystically beautiful voice that I grew up to in the 60s. Timeless Magic to my ears...
downvoted with extreme prejudice
I was exactly 20 years old when I first heard this beautiful angle like voice when I was in China, now I am 55 still love Joan .
I heard Joan Baez singing a capella as the sun went down in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh in 2003, at the end of the Concert for a Landmine-free World. Her voice was still supreme, her articulation so clear. One of the most magical experiences of my life.
Who would not want to have a voice from heaven! Joan is amazing!
TH-cam is a most extraordinarily wonderful time machine and heart massage.
You are correct. During this pandemic, I don't know what I'd do without TH-cam.
I totally agree with you
Back of the net Son !!!
Wonderful. She's an amazing singer--what a voice. And she stood up for principles. She wasn't crazy, as Brian so crudely states.
Few songs, if any, are written today with such meaning, rarer still are singers of such calibre!
The Peter Paul and Mary Era mate, so glad we were born in this era of understanding Lyrics and enjoying meaning to songs. well said mate.
The opening line of Baez's memoir And a Voice to Sing With is "I was born gifted" (referencing her singing voice, which she explained was given to her, and for which she can take no credit). A friend of Joan's father gave her a ukulele. She learned four chords, which enabled her to play rhythm and blues, the music she was listening to at the time. Her parents, however, were fearful that the music would lead her into a life of drug addiction. When Baez was 13, her aunt and her aunt's boyfriend took her to a concert by folk musician Pete Seeger, and Baez found herself strongly moved by his music. She soon began practicing the songs of his repertoire and performing them publicly. One of her very earliest public performances was at a retreat in Saratoga, California, for a youth group from Temple Beth Jacob, a Redwood City, California, congregation. In 1957, Baez bought her first Gibson acoustic guitar.
I saw Joan Baez in concert in Manchester UK in 1965. She was wonderful and still is. It was my first ‘pop’ concert at age 16.
Her voice is like coming from heaven! And that look in the eye... I love your songs...when I heard you singing in Greek, I cried..
Eternal gratitude for the 79 years of talent dedicated to
the spread of love organized into activism. May the angels of God continue to
be light, inspiration and strength in your journey, dear Joan Baez. From Brasil, with love,
luci.
Gratidão eterna pelos 79 anos de talento dedicado à
propagação do Amor Organizado em ativismo. Que os anjos de Deus continuem sendo
luz , inspiração e força na sua jornada, querida Joan Baez. Do Brasil, com Amor,Luci.
And now we roll round to 2021 and I'm still here, still tuning into beauty. Thank you 🙏🏼🎶💜🌹
This is fabulous. Just a guitar & her incredible voice, no over amplified mixing with the bass turned up so high it hurts your ears. 1965 I was 18 & had just discovered all types of folk music & seriously fancied her, I'm 74 now & still love folk music & still fancy her.
An excellent piece of true Americana, truly representative of the hopes and concerns of the common people. Thanks Joan for decades of giving. Merry Christmas; peace on earth to ALL Mankind. 12/2018
La voz más hermosa que escuché en mucho tiempo.Gracias por tus canciones.Letras hermosas.
I recorded her concerts from TV via a tape recorder held against the set. I was enthralled then and have never lost it.
-
To actually see the concert visually makes my tapes redundant. You Tube makes all this possible.
-
People forget that we didn't have this equipement back then. But some good souls have somehow managed to bring it to us.
-
So many of the old songsters and musicians are now there for us all to get at the touch of a button. Fabulous...Thank all you people who download..
Its so easily forgotten how difficult it was to access the music we liked.
Thanks for years of your singing.
Love. You!
Forever!
I love Joan's voice soooooooooooooo much.
As a young French girl, I heard her and I was hooked. someone with such clarity in her voice and a conscience too. It is thanks to her that I now have a Masters in Education and Professional development: she made it easy to learn English. I would listen to her for hours and imitate her [only I do not have such a great voice].
Impresionante maravillosa como siempre 😘😘
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Thanks Joan, you’re a really real person, and think you’re a child of 60’s. And I’m a fan.
what a voice I've been a Joan baez fan sincev1965
I was 11 years old then lol
I was 12.
I heard her sing blessed are in 1980 and was convinced she was the best. ( I was 20) But I had no idea until today that she was that dynamic and charismatic.
Me too!!! I was only 10 then, but even so i recognized that she was something VERY special, in more than one way.
I was just going to spoil Joan with the title of National Treasure and then realized... She has been and always will be an international treasure because of what she did as an activist for fairness and justice for all. At age 6, I saw her as a young French boy in a place called Chateau Vallon near Toulon, in Provence. She was sitting with a couple of other ladies in a room of the Chateau, probably rehearsing for a concert she gave at that place the next day. I saw her through a half open door, and I froze, listening to her. She was playing her famous Martin guitar. My parents dragged me away, as they thought I was not polite. That was the day I got imprinted with her magic voice and fell deep in love with American root music. It's been so worth the 5 seconds' lack of politeness.
wonderful story.
Such an angelic voice....She makes it look so easy....
what a talented performer.....keeping an entire audience so spellbound with her mere voice and a guitar.....and of course her smiles and pleasantries she exchanges with her audience off and on .....overall, typical of Joan Baez, she makes a meaningful cause every time she is on stage . Thanks for the video.
Pure beauty and pure music. Nothing pretentious or mechanical. Simple beauty and music from her heart and soul.
23.01.2021 It's 02:09 AM here and I'm 16 rn. Joan Baez randomly showed up in my timeline and I started to listen her concert records. Despite these songs, her covers for songs of Zülfü Livaneli (some of them were poems by Nazım Hikmet, these are artists that I really adore) were the first ones that burst me into tears. Leaving this message here, maybe, just maybe, years after I got a notification or remember this video and came back here again. I don't know If this time machine stuff would actually work but I loved the possibility.
Voice clear a an undisturbed steam. Pure magic. True artist. Love ya darlin.
Her voice is like steam?
Stream. Typo.
