I am 68 years old an still cry, because this was me. So many years around rodeo and following the wrong man around....(well it was right at the time and I don't regret it!)
I was a teenager when the 'Wild flowers album was cut loose. My dad had just come back from Nam and I was into the northern Cali music scene as in the Bay Area in Alameda . Her voice and longing and want of something so refreshing was so endearing has never left me. I hit my 73rd birthday today and listened to this and Bonnie Rait and Otis Redding.
The WILDFLOWERS album was significant to me also. I had just moved to Denver in 1970 and was suffering from a devastating romantic breakup. I would lay on my friend's bed and listen to the album and find relief and succor from Judy's voice singing Leonard Cohen dark-tinged songs.
@@RobertMccarty-v1c I also found Michael from Mountains inspiring, hoping to find someone that would want me like that and in 73 I did. I still sing both these songs around the house when cooking, getting dressed etc. The 73 woman departed 17 years later but my current of 32 years and 5 years younger doesn't really know of these songs and just giggles, if two old people can giggle, at me when finding me singing away.
Can't believe such comments as "she rode the coat tails of Joni Mitchell" and "she looks like Lindsay Lohan". Please! When I was five years old she was at the center of my love for music, and I've spent my life of 45 years loving and playing music. I knew her before Joni Mitchell, and hoped if I were beautiful when I grew up, it would be her kind of beauty. No one really can ever match Judy's voice or beauty. She is one of a kind. Love you dear Judy!
I saw her perform back in 1970, I was just discovering "Folk Music", Judy, Joan, Buffy, Dylan, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, such a wonderous time to be alive!!
@@TheRealMikkster That folksy era them morphed into Buffalo Springfield, Ronstadt, Denver. The list goes on and on. We are the luckiest generation for music ever.
Old enough to have seen this when it was first broadcast on the Smother's Brothers. Great performance. Ian Tyson who wrote the song passed away today. He loved his damned old rodeo.
Mary lamb, 'Cause we all know that in the end her father was probably right about her ending up with a broken heart. th-cam.com/video/9k7en09c6hU/w-d-xo.html (I think it was Jewell Kilcher who said in an interview that her father warned her to never fall in love with a musician or a cowboy because he was both and knew that neither would give her anything but pain in the end.)
I am 69 now and I haven’t heard this since I were a young man. Driving the back roads of the UP, with the windows down, station at K.I. Sawyer AFB , love sick for my sweetheart back home. This was our song.I lost my sweet heart a year ago. Jesus called her home......funny how a song can take one back in time.
I miss the days when songs meant something and the people singing them has the guts and talent to perform them live with no autotune. Incredible voice and those hauntingly beautiful eyes, what a great lady. I pray that she sings forever!!
?? music doesn't need more or less talent to produce now than in the 60s or 70s. more tools available to artists means a wider range of sounds you can make, increasing the 'ceiling' of the skill, so to speak. don't and gatekeep what 'real' music is. it makes you look foolish.
Give Angel Olsen a shot. She’s an amazing modern musician and a great talent. She even has a few renditions of older songs (and a cover of a song from Bonanza called Endless Road, it’s great). I think you’ll enjoy it!
I was17 yrs old in Meridian MS and my boyfriend was in the Navy there. He gave me an album of Judy Collins, Some day soon. I played and played that album and knew I was in love. A few months later I joined the Navy and time just slipped away. Now that I'm older and every time I hear the song I think of the fondest memories and a tear comes to my eye. Take care Dick Roberson where ever you are.
Time slipped away while we were bust working or raising a family -- Just living life and doing the best we could. But what wonderful music we had to help us through the crazy times and the wonderful times.
An intelligent comment. What are your music tastes these days? Did you carry on liking this song and other music that wasn't typical for your peers? Your comment is from over a decade ago, I hope you're well? Today is 6/25/2022.
Ian Tyson, one of the best song writers in the country genre. This song and "Four Strong Winds " (recorded by Neil Young) two of the best songs ever written.
@@miamidolphinsfan And none of those incredible singers needed auto tune or computer enhancement of their voices. Aren't we blessed to have had this wonderful music as the soundtrack of our youth?
When I started junior high school Susan was in ninth grade and played drums in the school orchestra. The last time I saw her was maybe 1972 or so when she was playing with Judy in Carnegie Hall. We had like the first box stage left and It was a show I'll never forget. I'm glad I found this video today. Thank you.
I saw her live on January 8th. She still has her voice. She kinds of totters walking across the stage, but the power of her voice and her guitar playing belies her age. She also did two numbers at the piano, an instrument on which she was a child prodigy.
I go for years without thinking of this song and then I'll play it again and again and again. GOOD music, composition. and performance can still elicit deep emotion. This song NAILS IT! ❣️❣️❣️
@@briandaly42 it sure how to take your comment here. Did you mean she was history as in a has been? Or did you mean she’s history because she was such a beloved musical personality? Js To me she is history because she embodied the essence of the times we lived through; she touched our souls.
Such a beautiful woman, with an unbelievably beautiful voice. I believe her covers of other people's songs are among the most lovely in the world. She always does something original with each song to make it her own.
I had the honor,or personally meeting Judy Collins a few weeks ago in West Palm Beach. Judy looked exquisitely beautiful. Class personified. The years have treated Judy well. She has touched many hearts with her music and lyrics,esp mine. I am blessed to have met her.
I could watch Judy sing this all day. Outstanding beauty and talent. what a guitar player .. Many thanks to Ian Tyson for the song too and Rest in Peace 😍
I was sneaking into the Rose Hill gym at Fordham U and she was coming out the same door. This was '68 or '69 &, just an awestruck kid I just stood aside, as she passed. She shared the stage with Ian & Sylvia, that evening, another of my life-long favorites. A very pleasant & memorable evening in my life, for sure.
Got this song in my head this morning, so off to TH-cam I went. What a nice surprise to find this Smothers Bros show performance! She’s doing some fun variations on her recorded version, so that’s always a treat! Glad to know she’s still out there!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I first heard this in 1974. A beautiful romantic voice... She hits all the notes and brings such life to it. Something so sweet about this song that Judy embraces.
A long time ago, we Detroiters had a world class radio personality by the name of J. P. McCarthy. He was intervewing Judy Collins on his early morning show and I will never forget the silky, fluid fashion of her ability to talk and go into song, back and forth, all in one sentence.
I watched this in 1969 when I was 15-- and finally bucked down to learn to play that guitar I'd had for three years. Got her records and got busy. Part of what saved my life and gave me focus. This was my favorite song to play for a long time.
I remember in the 70's when my Mom and Dad visited me every holiday except XMAS, I lived a long ways away, I was playing this song and I could tell my Dad liked this song both words and music by his body language. For one he was from a generation when you never heard that word "damn" in a song and two he seemed to be turned on to the line "When he comes a calling my Pa ain't got a good word to say, I guess it's because he was as just as wild in the younger day", I think that is how Judy sang it originally. It sounds so good to hear it again after all of those years. It takes me back to my younger day.
Had a set of albums called Super hits of the 70's. Judy Collins did Amazing grace a cappella and not only was I hooked but I was in love with that voice.
This is the perfect nexus of beauty, beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady with the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Loved you for over 40 years Judy, please never stop singing!!
My My people argue over the smallest issues what are you gonna be like living in the new world when it does come.. I would think everyone know there wouldn't be discord of any kind living in it.. Anyway, Judy is beautiful I appreciate the song that have been posted for us to view that is very kind of whoever did it. She looks great for her age with her unique voice reaching far into the sky. LOVE YOU jUDY !!!
17 years ago, my sweetheart and I started down a long road alternately rough and smooth, I swore I would never leave her side....four months ago, she was called to take that highway to heaven, and leave me behind.......someday soon, going with her, someday soon. Love you, MaryAlice.
@@jv-ep2tc once about 3 months after she died, I had a vision of her sitting beside me in my car while I was waiting at the light....she called my name, and I actually felt a sensation of someone touching my hand on the gearshift lever...she said "I love you, I'll always love you." and then she was gone. Just recently I had a very vivid dream of her, coming to me, and saying "I know you want to come be with me but it's not your time yet....please go and be happy with someone new...you'll know who when you meet her."
Remember watching the Smothers Brothers on Sunday nights. Pat Paulson was always funny and you got to see acts like Judy Collins that we kids loved. Next morning back to school
Glad she revamped the lyrics on this song...a fav...but sing it anyway you want Judy! Saw her in San Francisco back in the early 80s. Fantastic of course. She is a Denver girl. Mile high voice. ❤
Years ago I saw her outdoors in Central Park. I was running a few minutes late and wasn’t sure where I was going so I just followed the voice. Very underrated song. Her voice is heavenly. Hey, Stephen Stills even wrote a song about her and that ain’t bad!
I would not compare this incredible woman to anyone...she's a one-of-a-kind. How nice you got to meet her. I saw her in concert a couple of years ago...we couldn't clap hard enough. She sang "Danny Boy" a cappella and for a few minutes, the world went away.
I totally agree with you. I don't understand the criticism of her from the comments. Both Sides Now will always be one of my many defining songs for my youth.
Such a great song, and she has such a pretty voice. I have listened to all the other people who have done this song and I have to say Suzy Bogguss does it the best. Thank God, Judy Collins was the 1st to sing the song, they say a song is truly a hit if other people sing it as well. Thank you Judy!
Ahhhhh....The days when performers actually sang and played their original songs LIVE. With no computerized ampage or sync-drum beats. Whatta concept! SWEET Judy Blue Eyes - fer sher, dude!
We saw Ian Tyson live in Northampton, MA, in '95, I think it was. When he did this song, he introduced it with "Here's the one that paid the mortgage on the ranch!"
Judy hits all the notes beautifully. A great song by another great Canadian Ian Tyson and then there's Joni and Neil Young-whats in the air in that country
Real talent is making this job look easy. She's one of the most natural performers in the history of the world IMO. She's so unique and doesn't appear to try. There are very few with this gift.
Gorgeous lady with a phenomenal voice . So lucky to have lived in San Francisco during the 60's .Todays music is nothing more than visual entertainment with background noise.
I watched the Smothers Brothers every week, not only for the comedy but for the variety of musical guests, more reflecting the times than just about any other TV show, and what a great appearance here from Judy Collins who is now touring with Stephen Stills, one of her closest friends through the years. This tune comes from an album where they played together, one of her best! Music drove the times!!
I am 68 years old an still cry, because this was me. So many years around rodeo and following the wrong man around....(well it was right at the time and I don't regret it!)
I was a teenager when the 'Wild flowers album was cut loose. My dad had just come back from Nam and I was into the northern Cali music scene as in the Bay Area in Alameda . Her voice and longing and want of something so refreshing was so endearing has never left me. I hit my 73rd birthday today and listened to this and Bonnie Rait and Otis Redding.
The WILDFLOWERS album was significant to me also. I had just moved to Denver in 1970 and was suffering from a devastating romantic breakup. I would lay on my friend's bed and listen to the album and find relief and succor from Judy's voice singing Leonard Cohen dark-tinged songs.
@@RobertMccarty-v1c I also found Michael from Mountains inspiring, hoping to find someone that would want me like that and in 73 I did.

Hello Deborah, How are you doing?
I saw her in concert in the 80s. Fell in love with her
Well said!
This is my favorite version of the song!
I love her and Joni. Both are great. Since when does the woman who inspired CSNY's Suite Judy Blue Eyes have to ride anyone's coattails?
Judy Collins has one of the greatest voices ever heard. That is all.
Judy Collins takes you back to the late sixty's and early seventies. The love ins, the patchouli, it feels like you're there when you hear her voice
Superstar
Awesome 1973
One of those rare powerful singers. Thunders music without screaming.
judy and karen carpenter. let's go.
I saw her perform back in 1970, I was just discovering "Folk Music", Judy, Joan, Buffy, Dylan, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, such a wonderous time to be alive!!

May he rest in peace.
I've heard many other versions of this song, but Judy Collin's version is still the very best one....
It's wonderful for sure. Almost as good as Ian's, but that's just my opinion. "Best" is purely subjective. . .a matter of opinion.
Ian and Sylvia back in the day, sort of like four strong winds. Covered by many sometimes very well, but there's still something about the original.
Skeeter Davis did nice cover of it too. It's on TH-cam.
Crystal Gayle's cover is far superior.
This song still makes me cry after almost 50 years.

She was Gorgeous in Voice and Looks ! Can’t believe this was 52 years ago ! Those were the Days My Friend I thought they’d Never End !

Semper Fi, Brother. I was in the Corps, too, when this came out......a nineteen year-old PFC on his way to save the world.

Judy is a champion and a survivor, and a fantastic story teller in her songs......I've been a fan of hers since the 60's, and still am.
A long time ago, we Detroiters had a world class radio personality by the name of J. P. McCarthy. He was intervewing Judy Collins on his early morning show and I will never forget the silky, fluid fashion of her ability to talk and go into song, back and forth, all in one sentence.
I watched this in 1969 when I was 15-- and finally bucked down to learn to play that guitar I'd had for three years. Got her records and got busy. Part of what saved my life and gave me focus. This was my favorite song to play for a long time.
Beautiful Lady...Beautiful Song. This song has a 1960's sentimentality and rings true for we folks who lived the era.
I have always loved this performance by Judy Collins all those years ago. It never fails to touch my heart.
Her music,still beautiful and touches my heart after all these years
Such an amazing song & songstress....love this
I remember in the 70's when my Mom and Dad visited me every holiday except XMAS, I lived a long ways away, I was playing this song and I could tell my Dad liked this song both words and music by his body language.

sheer perfection , it still bring tears to my eyes
What a way to introduce their guest, Judy Collins. When did we lose all that sense of creativity?
Gorgeous lady with a phenomenal voice . So lucky to have lived in San Francisco during the 60's .Todays music is nothing more than visual entertainment with background noise.
What a beautiful voice and great talent. Loved her all my days
I watched the Smothers Brothers every week, not only for the comedy but for the variety of musical guests, more reflecting the times than just about any other TV show, and what a great appearance here from Judy Collins who is now touring with Stephen Stills, one of her closest friends through the years. This tune comes from an album where they played together, one of her best! Music drove the times!!
I love Judy Collins. I saw her perform once.
Sweet Judy Blue Eyes: beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful song...and of course....those EYES !!!
