I was born in 1963.I started reacting to music immediately apparently. Haven't stopped. I just saw this lady is still performing. That is absolutely fantastic. I did see her at the Festival with Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile. I admire them all so much.The amount of history teaches so much. Youngsters listen up.These stories are pure gold.🇮🇪
Holy crap! She's 81 years old here and her voice sounds incredible! I'm blown away. She's a treasure! She was the first concert I ever attended, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in around 1971 or 1972.
Listening to this made me feel sorry for the generation who give their heart and soul to acts like Taylor Swift thinking that she is the pinnacle of artistic perfection, and who would never listen to this ethereal, angelic perfection
Don’t worry. Timeless music has a way of being rediscovered and real truths can and do reach us as we are made in the likeness and image of God. Signed, a 47 year old x generation man who listened to glam metal in jr. high and by Jr year in high school it was Peter Paul and Mary, Beethoven, and Billie Joel.
Brought tears to my eyes, I remember those heady days when the entire world was before us in which to revel, and some of us did, some, like Judy, more than others. She still has that angelic voice and presence 50 years on. Wonderful memories.
I looked up her bio. She has been performing since 1959. That was the year I was born. I’m 63. I truly have known her voice my entire life. That’s so incredible to think about.❤️✌🏻
Judy Collins, your voice is truly unchanged. This is a great rendition of a great song. I recently created to works of art, both of which were inspired by the last verse. I saw you in concert at Red Rocks, Colorado. The second half of the concert was Simon and Garfunkel. That was quite a concert. It had to have been around 1969.
I worked for Joe Harold, who owned a radio station. He worked for Judy Collins Father In Colorado. He told me when Judy was a tiny Girl, she would sit at the piano and he swore he could hear the angels when she sang songs. He said he knew she would become famous.
My wife and I saw Judy Collins on our honeymoon in lake Tahoe 43 years ago it's astounding her voice is still as beautiful as it was then. I remember her beautiful eyes. Time has not diminished her beauty!
This has always been a lovely song (full credit to Bob Dylan), and this performance is over the top. Congratulations to Judy Collins. The introduction she gives is gorgeous. She sets you up for a song bound to be touching because of her history with it, teases you with the melody ("a voice coming up the steps"), finishes the historical story, and then sings the song beautifully. I agree with the earlier posters here who praise Judy Collins's voice and singing. She's still fabulous. Enjoy. Thank you, Judy Collins. Kind wishes to all.
Her voice is stunning for an eighty year old woman. I have watched this back to back to performances in her 20s and there really isn't much difference. I don't think I have heard anything quite this well preserved. She looks really healthy too.
Sweet "Judy Blue-eyes". I had the chance to hear this, in the East Village, NYC, 1964. I took those memories with me, to Vietnam, after I was Drafted into the Army, 1966. That was within, just 3 weeks, after graduating from High School, up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
"I listened...while Dylan wrote this song" what-a-story! Told so gently with wonder in her voice she tells us listening for hours to the process of creation...amazing and haunting
Mr. Tamburine is also called Lucifer. Hesekiel 28,13b. Do you understand now why Dylan wrote this song so quickly and easily? He sold his soul. th-cam.com/video/m_wAZ02JUtM/w-d-xo.html
Here's my humble take. She portrays the weariness, longing for relieve of a worn down soul. It reminds one of a farewell, someone that's looking down from above. The curtain has been opened, the vail lifted and nothing left but harsh reality except where the wander see's a different road where there's no fences facing. Judy catches the under tones very well. Yes a beautiful rendition. She is a wonderful soul.
Totally agree, a happy early arrival and the magic of Glastonbury such privileged..even better slower and with less accompaniment. Very very special musical moment for me.
I have lived my life in awe of the late fifties and sixties writers and singers. 81 now and hoping for many more years to listen to the best music ever written
This song was written in 1964 - first recorded in 1965. That's nearly sixty years ago! Can you think of any song on the top ten hit parade right now that you would put money on being performed - with such beauty and reverence - in sixty year's time? I'd love to know.
Jerry Jeff Walker, Who Wrote and Sang ‘Mr. Bojangles,’ Dies at 78 He never had a Top 40 pop hit. But his best-known composition became a standard, and he became a mainstay of the outlaw country movement.
OMG. The first notes leaving her lips....perfect, I hope to have such a natural flowing voice when I reach her age. And as always....those mesmerizing ageless beautiful prancing blue eyes. Stephen Stills wrote that song to her deservedly.
She is one of the best. I have known her family forever and walked down the aisle with her at her brother Mike's wedding in the 60's. Loved listening to her sing and play through the years. Bernie
Grew up listening to Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell. My dad taught me how to play guitar when I was in 9th grade. We used to play and sing together. Oh how I miss those days, and of course my daddy.... The first song I eve4 played was Bottle of Wine..
I love you so much, Judy, ever since I was a child and my uncles introduced me to your records. I am so glad to see you have your own channel. & I see you are on your tour and I am going to try to make one of the dates somehow. All the best and thank you for the inspiration.
Absolutely riveting... How I still remember where I was in 1968 when I first heard Judy Collins "Both Sides Now" Pardon the paradox but it is still "painful" for me to look at those big, beautiful blue eyes.
One of the best singer/songwriters ever in music. A true talent and a wonderful interpreter of music and song. One of the rare artists that make life worth living, and music an unmissable journey. Out of site Judy xx
I hope Judy sings this song at her concert on Thursday night at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, This is the one of her hits that i never learned to sig the tenor parts with her. What a voice!!
If God ever invented anything sweeter than the sound of Judy's voice, he kept it for himself. She is timeless, she is ageless.
Yo are so correct , I completely agree she has a voice that was meant to sing for God.
@ Jeff Howard
You Sir, have a way with words. Perfectly put. Well done.
God isn't selfish.
@@angelbulldog4934 I do not know him, so I have no experience!
@@speedtouch106 I know Him very well.
How many others are surprised that she is still alive, let alone, relevant?

Me too! I saw her at Bucknell University in 1968. Been in love ever since
Ooo
And she can still play a 12 string guitar!
True stars ain’t no coincidence. Real deal. May god bless her
Her voice has a gentle, haunting pleasure about it. One that has its own reality that seems to be designed only for you.

Away with Taylor Swift
Your parents said the same about your music.
What is it with old people and an inability to reflect accurately on their past? It's weird.
Brought tears to my eyes, I remember those heady days when the entire world was before us in which to revel, and some of us did, some, like Judy, more than others. She still has that angelic voice and presence 50 years on. Wonderful memories.
Just saw her, but she didn't sing this.
Couldn't have put it better Doug, you caught the spirit of the sixties exactly

Time has been very kind to her. One of the best Sail on Judy.

Her voice is as beautiful as ever. She's incomparable.
she sounds a lot like Mary Fahl. or vise-verse.

When Judy sings it, the meaning and purpose of the song hits the heart.

Singing is good for the lungs unlike smoking cigarettes.
Stunning not just for eighty, but for any age!
She’s truly incredible!
Age has nothing to do with it.
@@angelbulldog4934 I am 60. And I am a trained singer. Is that old enough to have the opinion I expressed?
Sweet "Judy Blue-eyes".

Should have 10 billion views.....a real World Treasure we have with Judy.
I had tickets for her last 3 years. Finally saw her on Sat. OMG best ever
Judy Collins singing a Dylan song.
Pure legends of my time.
In my 73 years they have always been there. I was lucky
"I listened...while Dylan wrote this song" what-a-story! Told so gently with wonder in her voice she tells us listening for hours to the process of creation...amazing and haunting
Mark ….. “HAUNTING” is the best adjective for this amazing and timeless musical artist. Could not agree more.

I remember Judy while I was serving oversea in the 60s.
Bob could not possibly dream of such a magnificent performance when he wrote the song.
She still has a wonderful voice. Stay well Judy.
Hello Jane how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
A legend leaves me teary eyed.
The magic of Judy's rendition ... superlative, beyond what its creator could express. Thank you Judy for the trip to the stars
Here's my humble take. She portrays the weariness, longing for relieve of a worn down soul. It reminds one of a farewell, someone that's looking down from above. The curtain has been opened, the vail lifted and nothing left but harsh reality except where the wander see's a different road where there's no fences facing. Judy catches the under tones very well. Yes a beautiful rendition. She is a wonderful soul.
Amazing how beautifully Judy Collins STILL sings!
Judy brings a unique beauty to her version of Mr Tambourine Man. 👏👏👏👏
Saw this at at Glastonbury on Sunday.
Beautiful and we all sang along xxx
Totally agree, a happy early arrival and the magic of Glastonbury such privileged..even better slower and with less accompaniment. Very very special musical moment for me.
Judy must be 83 what a voice that hasn’t changed beautiful! She looks good and healthy!
Breathtakingly beautiful tones in her voice.
very goood
Wow Judy Collins your voice is still as good as in the Sixties bless you
One of the greatest singers singing one of the greatest songs...
Love this woman.😊😊
Wow, Judy’s voice, like a fine wine, has only improved with age....and it wasn’t too shabby to begin with. lol
I have lived my life in awe of the late fifties and sixties writers and singers. 81 now and hoping for many more years to listen to the best music ever written
what a beautiful voice
After Judy Collins' version of this song, this comes second. The feeling in this version is simply amazing.
Michael Dillon, Perth W.A.
What a voice ! What a performance ! What an artist ! Thank you, Ms Collins
Always.
WOW just sat and listened while Dylan wrote this song. This song saved my life when I was a lost young man. It got me through each day.
And the angels smiled...
81 ,,,,81 your having a laugh that voice is much more like 18. So glad Judy is still out performing.
God is so great to gift us this beautiful soul with an Angels voice from heaven.
Hello Wortman how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family

Wow... so fine to hear Judy execute so wonderfully one of Bob Dylan's true classics. Love it.
Judy Collins Fifth Album (the actual title) is outstanding. If you haven't heard it or don't know it, you'll be well impressed.
Jerry Jeff Walker, Who Wrote and Sang ‘Mr. Bojangles,’ Dies at 78
He never had a Top 40 pop hit. But his best-known composition became a standard, and he became a mainstay of the outlaw country movement.
Such a pure voice she's one of the all-time greats! And still got in her later years!
Beautiful, magical days that only come once in a lifetime. Thank you for sharing a taste of the spirit of those days and with Dylan.
Hello Joni how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I’ve never heard this version before it’s beautifully ethereal. What a pure voice.
OMG. The first notes leaving her lips....perfect, I hope to have such a natural flowing voice when I reach her age. And as always....those mesmerizing ageless beautiful prancing blue eyes. Stephen Stills wrote that song to her deservedly.
Voice of an angel..
The best version, I've ever heard.
What a voice, sweet Judy Blue Eyes.
❤❤❤
These are the words of God ❤️
Thank you for your wonderful version of Mr. Tambourine man.
This world was so blessed with the voice of this amazing lady love you Judy❤️❤️
She's playing here in Daytona Beach in a week. I can't wait, what a voice. It has not changed very much from the 60's. This is legendary ✌️❤️🎵
Judy and Joni, can there be any more talented people on this planet. ❤
Amazing voice after all those years
Beautiful, stunned with this performance.
The final notes to this wonderful version are just spine-chilling... such beauty in her voice!
Stunningly beautiful. No words... except thank you Judy.
Her voice is timelessly beautiful Angelic 🤟
Hello 👋...... How are you doing?
In that white dress and gorgeous hair, she looks like a beautiful angel 🥰
I'm 50 years younger, but I could fall in love.
This was one of the first Dylan songs I ever heard. I love that Judy travels across genres.
@derek.thomas00 Hello, Derek. Here's one of my songs for you: th-cam.com/video/76OxSEgWN9c/w-d-xo.html. I hope you enjoy it. Take care.
Chills. 🥲 I have chills listening to this etheric rendition, and when Judy encourages the audience to sing too . . . Oh. My.
Saw Judy Collins in concert in the 70's class act,beautiful person,beautiful voice,beautiful songs beautiful eyes,beauty all the way around.
Magnificent...Thank you so much!
Wow. Just wow. 80 years & perfect.
That's a great song. It brings me back to a wandering, less burdensome, simple life, and the beautiful people I met along the way.
Oh my God!! This music is sooooo awesome to listen to!
She is one of the best. I have known her family forever and walked down the aisle with her at her brother Mike's wedding in the 60's. Loved listening to her sing and play through the years. Bernie
Thank you for letting hear from you in this way!

Stunning, ageless, beautiful through and through - a precious treasure
Her voice is stunning period.
Simply mesmerizing.
Wonderful.
I watched her tonight and despite all her issues over the years she looks lovely and her voice is beautiful and soothing she seems like a kind soul ❤
maybe my favorite song of all time
I love you so much, Judy, ever since I was a child and my uncles introduced me to your records. I am so glad to see you have your own channel. & I see you are on your tour and I am going to try to make one of the dates somehow. All the best and thank you for the inspiration.

Belle femme forever it was such a beautiful time for music.... and you embodied it and you still embody it.
We are all praying this story is true
I'm so glad I stumbled on to this. Great share.
A legend of music, she is quality without age,
Judy, I wish you many more years. Amazing that you can retain such a Angelic voice at 81. I have always been enchanted by your singing.

😮wow how beautiful is her voice still!
Crystal clear voice of an angel and a great song.
I hope Judy sings this song at her concert on Thursday night at the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, This is the one of her hits that i never learned to sig the tenor parts with her. What a voice!!
There are no words to adequately describe how good this is, simply stunning!
If Bob had never ever recorded a song he would still be The Man.
What a back catalogue.
I love this woman....
a surreal talent. And so much a part of the movement. May the civil rights stay sacred.
OH! This version almost made me cry. So beatyful.
I love these clips , so full of great insight into my favorite performer and the songs she sings.
Absolutely stunning...clarity, tone, emotion...'beautiful' is a sub-par word to describe.
WOW ! Beautiful voice Judy !
Incredibly beautiful! ❤❤❤
