I miss my childhood when my music teacher used to sing this song 😢 wish i could turn back time to those beautiful days no internet no smart phones just beautiful dayss
Dam this takes me back - in my 70's now and this brings a tear to my eye; how youth is lost on the young! My mind is still young, my memories fresh, the body is weak. Joan was so inspiring and her voice was like that of an angel. thank you for the wonderful memories.
Joanie was my first crush, her social comment opened my mind and heart...60 yrs later she is still my unrequited love and brings a tear to the eye when I hear her sing
I’m in my late 60’s so I also have more miles behind than in front. Youth is not wasted or lost on the young, I don’t think. It just takes its absence to be fully appreciated. Joan was and is an inspirational person with a heavenly voice!
pain goes in heart when you listen to this song while you are struggling in foreign country specially as a student....): (Work, empty stomach, study...still hoping to accomplish in life.
If it weren't for RUclips I'd still be in the dark, hidden from the privilege of hearing Joan Baez's voice. Thank you for the upload and for further expanding my collection of music.
I'm also a collector of old music Can u send me some links Of old songs I have collection of old English Old Tamil old Bengali and few Spanish and french songs And other old instrumental complex music from around the globe
A lot of Joan's early folk music recordings were of Child ballads, a collection of over 300 English and Scottish traditional ballads and their American variants that were anthologized by Francis James Child in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Her mother was born in Scotland and her father in Mexico, so she heard a lot of European and Latin American folk music in her youth.
My dad used to sing this to me as a kid. He was really young when he left his parents to study abroad before he and my mom brought our family to the US and I remember as a kid thinking that my dad wrote this song because of how much he would sing it and how it related to his life that he would tell us about any chance he got. This song really brings back memories that I nearly forgot and I’m sure my dad will eventually forget too but for now I’m glad we got to share memories this song brings us.
Nobody who never listened to Joan Baez before is prepared for that voice. Joans voice is so incredibly clear and soft, yet it hits you like a hammer when you hear it for the first time. It still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
Have you heard her rendition of House of the Rising Sun? Her singing there is the most beautiful I've ever heard. But it makes the song almost too painful to appreciate.
The song was written by railway construction workers and became a folk sensation. It came to limelight in the music industry with the original covers later... However, the beauty of the song is not just in the haunting melody but the 500 miles symbolizes so much more than just a journey it a place away from home.. It's the loss and sadness if being separated from the supreme being... It is an echo of the pain every person feels when away from home. It is a song that invariably, particularly with Joan's voice accompanied with her shy smile never fails to bring tears... That that are a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time...Joan, you're so beautiful and your singing so angelic that I can just feel blessed seeing and hearing you. You're cleared and thank you for blessing is with your renditions..
Hedy West wrote this song... I learned it from my amazing girl scout camp leaders... already a folk song. Look her up, she is the real deal. Joanie's voice is pure gold.
Thank you for sharing this background, Em. It helps me understand just why this song, out of all the countless ones I saw in concert during the 60s, is such a standout ... for its honesty and purity of integrity. It indeed speaks to the universal human condition, of yearning for our Heavenly home! This is a classic - and you've helped me know why! Bravo and thank you!!!
'a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time' spot on, all the best music has this factor imo, and there's a lot of it to be found in renditions of country, blues and other folk music
I feel privileged to be alive. If I weren't, how would I have heard Joan Baez? Her voice seems to be coming from heavens, each note like a raindrop, her breath like breeze.
Her version is the best, but Elvis Presley version is also touching and special! There is actually only an improvised home version of it, which makes it even more amazing
Joan's voice is heavenly one of the most beautiful but also please listen to the version of the song by The Seekers the Australian folk band. The late Judith Durham, RIP, has an incredible voice and does a beautiful version which for me is the best. I don't actually think there's a bad version it's such a beautiful song ❤
@@alexcawthorne811 Absolutely, Alex. Always loved Judith, a pin up from my youth, but only really recall her from the chart hits. Never heard her sing this, but not a doubt she'd do it superbly, I'll dig it out, thanks for the heads up. Fab version of I am an Australian on here too by the Seekers.
@@jimg9003 oh I've heard her sing I am an Australian even as a "Pommie" it makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I don't know what it is about Australian songs but they are always very moving and emotional - Judith will be sorely missed by many but she left us so many wonderful songs and memories.
Joan was a force. She helped people find their soul. Still, this song is more than what she sings (and Peter, Paul and Mary too). Listen to Hedy West's version. It will give you some perspective. Esp. the Newport Folk Festival version.
Joan is the reason I went to Woodstock. I wanted to hear her sing this song live. Now this beautiful song is my deceased son, Paul, singing it to me from 500 Miles away.
When I was 20 years old, I had a chance to stay inn the U.S. My room mate, Debbie used to sing Joan Baez' songs,I t was a sort of culture shock at that time but still now ,75 of age, her songs returns to my mind again. I would like to sing songs a again , now ,when we human is facing war here and there. yasuko

my mother loved Joan too. Wish I'd played some of Joan's music before she passed. Still miss her. I'm not certain, but I think we may have seen her live when I was little. A shame I was too young to appreciate it.
@@recoveringsoul755 I really wish u all the strength you'll ever need in life and hope that you can maybe see her again one day. Greetings from Germany
Just realized that One of the most popular Indian film songs (and a personal fav) from the 1970s (Jab Koi Baat) was based entirely on this melody. Joan and The Journeymen made the lives of a billion South Asians better without either side knowing it.
Shameless Urduwood never had originality.... it's industry is based on cheating and dishonesty and never on originality and hence it is getting its ass kicked massively today. I am loving the Jihadi influenced eco system is being smashed...
When I first came west in the late 70's I was enraptured by her and her angelic voice. I had been robbed of my heritage by the Ottawa cabale . and had no where to turrn so I came to Alberta. It was the beginning of new life for me and over the ensuing years I have learned what it means to be "Albertan". These creeps back East have no understanding of what the West is all about . They will never know, but they wil try to kill us because they do not understand. "Independence , Alberta's only hope."
if you miss the train i'm on you will know that i am gone, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, a hundred miles,a hundred miles... Lord i can't go on this way...
+flip benzoni Well I'm walking down this track I've got tears in my eyes. Trying to read a letter from my home. And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night Now I'm 500 miles away from home.
+George Vreeland Hill i am so happy that you say "one of the best...." we are so fortunate to be able to access many versions of great songs and singers and in most cases there aren't definitive versions.... and for the record I do think she has a wonderful voice...
I lived in Glasgow for a little over a year Back in 2014 for my postgraduate studies. I don’t know what connection keeps pulling me to Scotland . I feel a certain sense of patriotism which I don’t think I ever felt for my own country. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country. But I breath in the memories of Scotland and everything I experienced there. Scotland made me feel so accepted. It’s been 10 years since, and every time my throws tough times at me I close my eyes and think of my days in Scotland and everything gets better . I love Scotland 🏴 the land of the brave.
This is possibly the first English song I ever heard - my kindergarten teacher sang this song in class during day 2 or 3 in school. My 3-yr old heart and brain couldn’t process how i felt listening to this, but yeah, it did make me imagine a lonely traveller on the road..my first experience of “bittersweet” emotions, I’m sure
Everything is so genuine and raw ...the audience has no phones or camera to get themselves distracted, but where all 100% engaged..so unlike today! So touching😥.
Just turned 62 a few weeks ago, I feel like getting younger and younger...which you could see being a positive aspect of one's own life: the older your body gets, the younger your spirit you feel; they say that growing old is like being a child again but then why is everyone afraid to get old? No, in truth it is not aging that is scary but it is senility. I’ve never met senile old men, while, contrary to this, I have known many adults who remained irreversibly children.
@@harleyquiinnnn I try my best to explain. In those tough times (1960s'), folk songs were "good medicine" for the souls of people. To my knowledge, she, Joan Baez, was one of the “ stars" at that time. "Her contemporary folk music often includes songs of protest or social justice." (quoted from the web). Still, she cares about her country for the present time. I don't know whether there is anyone like her in the “ singing industry worldwide" nowadays. So, I said she was the gift for the generation of 1960s.
Takes me back to my childhood. My Mother introduced me to such great music, and I had no idea, at the time. To this day, my adult daughters have a very eclectic taste in music. Anyways, Joan used vibrato so smoothly, you don't even realize it's there. It's just her voice.
If you miss the train I'm on you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, A hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles you could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. Lord I'm one, lord I'm two, lord I'm three, lord I'm four Lord I'm 500 miles from my home 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles Lord I'm 500 miles from my home Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name Lord I can't go on this a-way This a-way This a-way This a-way This a-way Lord I can't go on this a-way If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Une des plus belles voix que j'écoute depuis plus d'un demi-siècle et que j'ai entendue en concert plus d'une dizaine de fois ; et la dernière, ce fut à Montréal un 17 septembre, lors de sa tournée d'adieux ; que des frissons d'émotion... surtout quand la voix s'élève, pure et cristalline...
Da-nos a impressão de que ela se basta a si propria, cantando...sua voz e um violão. Seu magnético encantamento nos leva a flutuar em poucos minutos de nostalgia...incomparável JB!
I’m just listening with open mouthed amazement to the perfection of the one woman act that Joan Baez was that fine evening in 1965. Blessed to hear and watch her as well as the fine audience.
Early in their relationship, in the 1960's, my parents would go on dates to cafe's to hear folk music like this, years before I was born. After my mom died in 2008, I was visiting my dad, and we went to a cafe where he and mom used to go to hear such folk music, and there was still live music for the diners. But it wasn't the peaceful, soulful music, like Joan Baez's singing here, the kind of folk music my parents enjoyed in their younger years. Rather, it was some angry contemporary rock band, with loud drums, and the speakers blasting the angry songs at an unnaturally loud volume. I think my dad had entered the cafe hoping to relive some of his memories of his early romance with my mom, but the music was just all wrong; it was music that was alien to my dad, and I felt bad for him. We didn't stay long at the cafe. I'm not condemning contemporary rock music; I'm just recalling a poignant moment with my dad, may he rest in peace.
Just found her on RUclips. I go back to the 70's when I first fell in love with her (voice)..... Bought all her LPs... then when CD came around, got some CDs. Now videos....
What an ethereal voice with that divine shimmer!! :) Yes, I had a crush on her in my college days (1960s), and I fulfilled a lifetime desire to see and hear her in person just a few years ago. I love that other-worldly gaze and the sincerity of her singing. Brave and determined, she was in Hanoi with the Friends Service Organization making humanitarian peace efforts during American bombing of that city. Nothing "phoney" about "Joanie!" Outspoken and controversial, to be sure, but still admired by many of us who were - and are - captivated by her music :) :)
People criticise her sometimes, but I've been a fan a LONG time. Since the 1960's. She's one of the activists who's sincere about her beliefs and does not take sides. She simply wants the violence, war, torture, etc. to STOP and that's it.
scorpion19142001 You might be right ... but if we ALL want peace, how come so many people are torturing and killing others? Are we humans so dumb we'll succumb?? :( I once heard: "What if somebody threw a war and nobody came???" Folks like Joanie never give up because we believe that humans can learn their lessons in time to save the world [We might need it later! :)] :)

Heard this song 50 years ago. Today hearing it again (the LPs, CDs, DVDs are long gone). Baez is as beautiful and relevant, maybe more, than ever. Proof of the everlasting presence of how we feel and express from the heart. Joan, may you and your songs live forever in the hearts of humankind.

Dam this takes me back - in my 70's now and this brings a tear to my eye; how youth is lost on the young! My mind is still young, my memories fresh, the body is weak. Joan was so inspiring and her voice was like that of an angel. thank you for the wonderful memories.
Brings a tear to my eyes also.
Pppp

Joanie was my first crush, her social comment opened my mind and heart...60 yrs later she is still my unrequited love and brings a tear to the eye when I hear her sing
You’re a legend sir.
I’m in my late 60’s so I also have more miles behind than in front. Youth is not wasted or lost on the young, I don’t think. It just takes its absence to be fully appreciated. Joan was and is an inspirational person with a heavenly voice!
In Canada, of course, this song is called 805 kilometres.
😀
you mean rest of the world!
Hahahahaha LoL only fun in the comments.
If they were Irish miles, then you'd know you walked it.
You hilarious bastard...
She is a most beautiful person: eyes, voice, and soul. I love her.
Every generation produces a very special person, Joan is ours.
I would travel 500 miles to see Joan Baez sing her songs.❤
She came here to Dresden, and I l listened to her songs in Kulturpalast
I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more.
I am Japanese. So I don't know much English. But this song reminds me of my hometown and old days. I am very happy to know such a wonderful song.
Enjoy It😇
This song is about the misery of railroad workers, but it does communicate to every soul in the world
@@juliaalvares7563 is that proven....
I also like Japan song 故乡的黄昏

Can u send me some links
Of old songs
I have collection of old English
Old Tamil old Bengali and few Spanish and french songs
And other old instrumental complex music from around the globe
This is fact, I’ve been introduced to bluegrass, Old Blues, Jazz, now I found this. 👍
I have 4 of her first albums. Vinyl. Her voice so pure, and beautiful. I listen to one everyday.

Heyyy?? How u doinn
Can we all appreciate two things:
1. Her British accent at the beginning
2. How gorgeously polite she is to her audience
I'm guessing she was having fun with the audience, trying to sound like them
3. She sung really well
Yes, that British (well, English) accent surprised me.
@@dannyfenris7708 Manchester I think
Her mother was Scottish, she's an excellent mimic, does a great Bob Dylan too! ruclips.net/video/rxzJRZI8100/видео.html
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Moves me to tears always to hear Joan singing this song.
Touches a melancholic cord in me.
I think these two sentences are the most heart-stirring part of the song,just too helpless and too sorrowful.
My dad used to sing this to me as a kid. He was really young when he left his parents to study abroad before he and my mom brought our family to the US and I remember as a kid thinking that my dad wrote this song because of how much he would sing it and how it related to his life that he would tell us about any chance he got.

Funny I just heard her tonight for the first time in my life. I would say your description is accurate.
True that, sir..
I never knew who she was, first time hearing her here, and agree with you completely. What a a voice.
It's a little lower now but she still sounds really good at 81
This is my first time listening to her and she brought tears to my eyes beautiful
Her voice really is one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard
I find it very beautiful too...
Same here. She has the voice of an angel.

That vibrato and vocal range. Jeesh, what music they had way back when.
Indeed. The vibrato is almost perfect, especially in the high pitches. Combined with the deeper background audience, it forms a beautiful composition.
That was and still is her extraordinary range. My God I love her.
You Should Really listen to Lata Mangeshkar songs for vibrato n tunes
This song is really unforgettable🙃❤

Those are the best songs, neither happy or sad, just moving.

Shes so beautiful both in her voice and her appearance. God should make another one this generation sure could use a voice this clear
God did. Her names Lana Del Rey
Just realized that One of the most popular Indian film songs (and a personal fav) from the 1970s (Jab Koi Baat) was based entirely on this melody. Joan and The Journeymen made the lives of a billion South Asians better without either side knowing it.
Or the thieves stole her melody with just one side knowing it. Let's not mellow down the habitual theft of melodies.
@@taimoorahmed_507 exactly what I was going to say. It's not 'based' or 'inspired', it's simply stolen unless they got a license to cover the song.
And I thought that itz there original melody 🙄 why they always stealing others music/melody 😡 #bullywood😡
Shameless Urduwood never had originality.... it's industry is based on cheating and dishonesty and never on originality and hence it is getting its ass kicked massively today. I am loving the Jihadi influenced eco system is being smashed...
They stole the Singapore national song too. "Count on me Singapore".
Right now, I am all alone in quarantine in Turkey, and I've never felt more connected to this song.
💕🙏🏼🌸💫

Please let us, you are fine now.
@@ebmserdarak5379 haha, i'm fine now, don't worry. I'm back in my home country
hope you are well!!!!!!!!
When I first came west in the late 70's I was enraptured by her and her angelic voice. I had been robbed of my heritage by the Ottawa cabale . and had no where to turrn so I came to Alberta. It was the beginning of new life for me and over the ensuing years I have learned what it means to be "Albertan". These creeps back East have no understanding of what the West is all about . They will never know, but they wil try to kill us because they do not understand.
"Independence , Alberta's only hope."
What a treasure to have this recording of one of the greatest singers, performing in duet with the audience.
Me and Joan locked eyes during a concert she was giving in Tampa in the 90's.She radiated a higher level of consciousness.
Boy, she has some voice, huh? I remember a friend once saying you can almost "taste" her voice. I agree...
Claudette Preisinger :-))) non comment. A wonderfull Voice

+Claudette Preisinger like she just ate a onion sandwich huh?
if you miss the train i'm on
you will know that i am gone,
you can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles, a hundred miles,a hundred miles...
Lord i can't go on this way...
+flip benzoni
Well I'm walking down this track
I've got tears in my eyes.
Trying to read a letter from my home.
And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night
Now I'm 500 miles away from home.
This is my favourite version of this beautiful song 🔥👌🏾
An everlasting song by Joan Baez. Her voice will surely knock you from the bottom of heart.
This version is absolutely beautiful! I am in tears from the emotion in her voice.
Yes she is a deep , soft and powerful singer
This song has been covered by many singers.
Joan Baez' version is one of the best.
+George Vreeland Hill i am so happy that you say "one of the best...." we are so fortunate to be able to access many versions of great songs and singers and in most cases there aren't definitive versions.... and for the record I do think she has a wonderful voice...
+John London I AM BRAZILIAN..... HAVE YOU EVER HEART WITH THE PROCLAIMERS?
every joan baez songs are one of the bests.
No comparison.
Avis que je partage à 1000 % !
I lived in Glasgow for a little over a year Back in 2014 for my postgraduate studies. I don’t know what connection keeps pulling me to Scotland . I feel a certain sense of patriotism which I don’t think I ever felt for my own country. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country. But I breath in the memories of Scotland and everything I experienced there. Scotland made me feel so accepted. It’s been 10 years since, and every time my throws tough times at me I close my eyes and think of my days in Scotland and everything gets better . I love Scotland 🏴 the land of the brave.
This is possibly the first English song I ever heard - my kindergarten teacher sang this song in class during day 2 or 3 in school. My 3-yr old heart and brain couldn’t process how i felt listening to this, but yeah, it did make me imagine a lonely traveller on the road..my first experience of “bittersweet” emotions, I’m sure
Everything is so genuine and raw ...the audience has no phones or camera to get themselves distracted, but where all 100% engaged..so unlike today! So touching😥.
Amen.
I am literally discovering this on my phone ... sigh ... :) the LORD works in myseterious ways.
So true. She comes into view and there's a Wembley type roar, then total silence, total respect. Then the slip of a girl sings... So enchanting.
I was NOT prepared for THAT voice! WOW!!!! Angelic!
Merci pour ta voix sublime...inoubliable...😍
God… if I were there listening to this for the first time, I would be die from goosebumps 😅
2:46 she's singing with all her heart.
look at the teary eyes.
oh god i-😭
I had forgotten just how simple and elegant this song was, and just how softly and heartfelt Joan was singing it.
Just turned 62 a few weeks ago, I feel like getting younger and younger...which you could see being a positive aspect of one's own life: the older your body gets, the younger your spirit you feel; they say that growing old is like being a child again but then why is everyone afraid to get old? No, in truth it is not aging that is scary but it is senility. I’ve never met senile old men, while, contrary to this, I have known many adults who remained irreversibly children.
Was playing when I was young I'm 60 now and none ever have shown such a unique beautiful voice that still moves my spirit God bless you Joan ❤️❤️❤️
Joan Baez is so good ... the entire audience starts singing with her, so she takes the harmony.
Yes.. so lovely..gives me chills…
@@amandaleo8002 yes chills over and over
Her voice, her eyes, her guitar - they are not just her gifts from God, they are the gifts of her generation.
Could you explain what you mean by the gift of her generation?
@@harleyquiinnnn I try my best to explain. In those tough times (1960s'), folk songs were "good medicine" for the souls of people. To my knowledge, she, Joan Baez, was one of the “ stars" at that time. "Her contemporary folk music often includes songs of protest or social justice." (quoted from the web). Still, she cares about her country for the present time. I don't know whether there is anyone like her in the “ singing industry worldwide" nowadays. So, I said she was the gift for the generation of 1960s.
@@ngg9715 Thank you for explaining :)
Joan is a national treasure-there is no one like her! Her beautiful voice is haunting.
Takes me back to my childhood. My Mother introduced me to such great music, and I had no idea, at the time. To this day, my adult daughters have a very eclectic taste in music. Anyways, Joan used vibrato so smoothly, you don't even realize it's there. It's just her voice.
In her eyes, I see sadness and honesty
June 5, 1965, BBC Television Theatre, Shepherd's Bush, London
Thanks for the date. I saw her in 1964 in Forrest Hills, NY. I was shocked to see this, knowing it was from that time.
Thanks
Veronica Tedderson she had just turned 24 the previous January. 78 now in 2019...beautiful voice!
would have to be a BBC show, LOL, probably the only time she performed to an audience in suits and ties !
Jimi page woz ere
Jab koi baat bigaad jay jab koi mushkil pad jay tum dena sath mera oo humnawa
What a voice ! So emotional, so poised, so simple yet so sophisticated ❤
If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles,
A hundred miles,
a hundred miles,
a hundred miles
you could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord I'm one, lord I'm two, lord I'm three, lord I'm four
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home
500 miles,
500 miles,
500 miles,
500 miles
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home
Not a shirt on my back,
not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go on this a-way
This a-way
This a-way
This a-way
This a-way
Lord I can't go on this a-way
If you miss the train I'm on,
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Thanks for the lyrics
God Bless You
Superb super innovation creators
Tnx bro
Thanks
I love the way she sings the harmony line during the second verse..and let's the audience carry the melody. Brilliantly beautiful.
Ken McKim
Lovely voice
It is definitely that like your comment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Une des plus belles voix que j'écoute depuis plus d'un demi-siècle et que j'ai entendue en concert plus d'une dizaine de fois ; et la dernière, ce fut à Montréal un 17 septembre, lors de sa tournée d'adieux ; que des frissons d'émotion... surtout quand la voix s'élève, pure et cristalline...
My uncle sold his guitar to the woman who wrote this song, Hedy West, back in the day. Makes it even cooler for me to listen to this great tune.
Such a beautiful song she wrote whom ur granpa sold the guitar. 🙂❤️
No auto tune. All raw. That's talent.
indeed
maintaining the intrinsic harmony with a singing-along untrained audience was a truly remarkable feat.......her talents are unique.

Da-nos a impressão de que ela se basta a si propria, cantando...sua voz e um violão. Seu magnético encantamento nos leva a flutuar em poucos minutos de nostalgia...incomparável JB!
I’m just listening with open mouthed amazement to the perfection of the one woman act that Joan Baez was that fine evening in 1965. Blessed to hear and watch her as well as the fine audience.
What a beautiful voice and soul. This is so captivating.
Early in their relationship, in the 1960's, my parents would go on dates to cafe's to hear folk music like this, years before I was born. After my mom died in 2008, I was visiting my dad, and we went to a cafe where he and mom used to go to hear such folk music, and there was still live music for the diners. But it wasn't the peaceful, soulful music, like Joan Baez's singing here, the kind of folk music my parents enjoyed in their younger years. Rather, it was some angry contemporary rock band, with loud drums, and the speakers blasting the angry songs at an unnaturally loud volume. I think my dad had entered the cafe hoping to relive some of his memories of his early romance with my mom, but the music was just all wrong; it was music that was alien to my dad, and I felt bad for him. We didn't stay long at the cafe. I'm not condemning contemporary rock music; I'm just recalling a poignant moment with my dad, may he rest in peace.
Have ignored this lady’s talent most my life, thank you you tube for allowing me make up for lost time
I was not ready to cry listening to a song 😭
Are you ready now ?????😢😢😢
What a divine performance
I'm literally crying ryt now. Ohhhh god !! I miss my old days... My Childhood . Wish it comes back 😢😢
Made me cry when I heard it decades ago. Still does.
Just found her on RUclips. I go back to the 70's when I first fell in love with her (voice)..... Bought all her LPs... then when CD came around, got some CDs. Now videos....
The Way All The Spectators Sing along Just Luved It ❤️❤️❤️
She's the proof that angels live among us.
Her voice has an almost ethereal quality to it just gorgeous
I can't listen to her songs too long before I'm crying! Something about her voice... it's very beautiful. She's still beautiful today.
What an ethereal voice with that divine shimmer!! :) Yes, I had a crush on her in my college days (1960s), and I fulfilled a lifetime desire to see and hear her in person just a few years ago. I love that other-worldly gaze and the sincerity of her singing. Brave and determined, she was in Hanoi with the Friends Service Organization making humanitarian peace efforts during American bombing of that city. Nothing "phoney" about "Joanie!" Outspoken and controversial, to be sure, but still admired by many of us who were - and are - captivated by her music :) :)
People criticise her sometimes, but I've been a fan a LONG time. Since the 1960's. She's one of the activists who's sincere about her beliefs and does not take sides. She simply wants the violence, war, torture, etc. to STOP and that's it.
Lynn Magnuson We all want PEACE....World War 3 will happen before we find Peace...
IT Will be the last War man will every fight. And no one win !!!!!
scorpion19142001 You might be right ... but if we ALL want peace, how come so many people are torturing and killing others? Are we humans so dumb we'll succumb?? :( I once heard: "What if somebody threw a war and nobody came???" Folks like Joanie never give up because we believe that humans can learn their lessons in time to save the world [We might need it later! :)] :)

Joan Baez will always be the reigning queen of folk music! A voice that was made in heaven!
I am one of the audience who are listening her so patiently🥰 sitting there...
What a voice. Voice of the century
Lost my brother this year.... This song is for you Brother 😘
1965: a simple dress, a guitar and a beautiful voice
2021: half-naked jumping around and electronically improved voice
and making shit music that everyone loves so sad feelings for this kind of music they never know what is music to be loved and felt like :'(
I wouldn't call it "improved"
And lyrics that really mean something
1965 : suits
2021 : rappers with tattoos and making minor girls dance in the back
She sings like an angel❤️ i just love this so much ❤ this song makes me cry❤
She just drops off the decades. she was magnificent.
Heard this song 50 years ago. Today hearing it again (the LPs, CDs, DVDs are long gone). Baez is as beautiful and relevant, maybe more, than ever. Proof of the everlasting presence of how we feel and express from the heart. Joan, may you and your songs live forever in the hearts of humankind.
