when I moved to venice beach , i would see a grey haird man around town and mused how much he looked like Richie Havens turns out it was . we spoke in a restaurant one night and i asked him " excuse me but didn't i see you play guitar on a farm in New York once ?"
he just smiled and said
yes i did play once on a little farm in New York " at the time i thought it was a cool moment for both of us .awesome nice guy.
wow!
I had a chance to meet him by chance the first time. I was working at the front desk of a hotel in SF. While I was bending down counting some Amex travelers checks there was a voice the clerk asked your name Sir the reply was Havens n without looking I just loudly said Richie n the man said Yes. I turned around and saw the warmest smile on Richie Havens face. The clerk stool aside and said if I wanted to continue checking Richie in so I stepped in and was having a best conversation with my most beloved singer n song writer. I gave Richie the best room I had with a view n he agreed to sign my album if I brought it in the next day. I still have that double album till today 🙏🙏🙏
RIP Richie Havens. I have see him so many times in concerts 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 once for $5 at the San Francisco State University, he was helping the students in the University 🙏🙏🙏
I met him once too, he was getting ready to board a plane to a little music festival called Woodstock. He looked tired and said he’d rather have someone take his place. I looked into his deep knowing eyes and said if I could I would. He then informed me that he had a machine that could put my consciousness into his body including his musical skills. Since that day I have been Richie Havens, and always will be. True story.
Beautiful
I was so psyched to actually be able to shake this man's hand. I told him, "Your words and music are an inspiration to us all." He replied, "I just try to teach what I've learned over my years."
22 people who disliked this video has a cold stone at the place of their heart. Using Dylan's words, Havens is singing just about them. "All he believes are his eyes /
And his eyes, they just tell him lies."
Make that 23. I don’t know much about music, but Havens seems to have trouble determining the tempo he wants to play or sing the song.
Haven knows a whole heck a lot about music then I’ll ever know, but to my EARS (not EYES), this seems unsteady.
Just my opinion.
@@jorgejohnson451 it's his own thing: the tempo flutters and follow the motion of the delivery. That's the reason he almost always performed solo: to do this with a band could be problematic.
@@familytreemusic Well, he was certainly a genius.
I love Richie Haven's music ... so sorry he passed today.
I see the human being moving on, but I don't see many coming on.
Richie was one of the good ones, sad to see him go, rest in peace Richie Havens.
this is a man who has true "soul" in his voice and hands.ive only seen richie perform once and his music will stay with me til i die
Fantastic performance. I'm glad I lived in his time and heard his music. RIP Ritchie. your music will live on.
His wonderous left thumb and voice.............He is one of of a kind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss Richie so much. Every performance cut to the core
His hands (as well as his soul) are so huge and beautiful.
He was just such a wonderful soul-awakening artist.
Damn. This is the first time I have heard this song. Richie Havens has taught me another one. It's amazing how he renders this like he wrote it himself. RIP wonderful teacher.
He's a drummer with a guitar, a big thumb and a bigger heart. One of the best ever.
Great song performed by an outstanding musician ! There is a passion that culminates in pain of understanding. Richie Haven lives his music & he IS inside. A very spiritual touch. Thank you for this fine video !

Beautifully said. I agree 100%!

RIDETHESUNSHINE So sadly true
There's never been anyone like Ritchie Havens. Ritchie.....I love you.
God Bless You Richie Havens....I have loved your singing since way back in the 70's. Your are even more wonderful today....your talent is eternal!!
So glad I found this! I am a lifelong Richie Havens fan, but this was something i hadn't heard before. Richie you rock, saw you in person three times in the philadelphia area. This interpretation is spot on! Love you Richie!
RIP Ritchie, you were one of the greats, you could make anybodys song your own. Love you so much
Great rhythm playing - kept it interesting all the way through. Brill. The song is of course amazing.
Breaks my heart. RIP Richie
Richie, I listen to this every few weeks. It still brings tears to my eyes. You are amazing and so is this song.
up lifting music for me. I'm all about love. during the tough the bad the ugly, this man's music helps me' so I can stay real.
this is the BEST strumming Ive ever heard.....I heard a radio 20 feet from me one time....I heard the strumming and mouthed RITCHIE HAVENS Best strummer ever
I've never seen anyone play like Richie, he has his own unique style..
This guy is a stud. He opened Woodstock. No other performers were there so he kept playing. 3 Hrs later he left the stage soaked in sweat. Check it out he just jams and even makes shit up on stage. Springsteen would be honored to carry his guitar. He also rocks out "Here comes the sun."
gentlest man i have ever met.
he graced us all.
Me too, and the most kind and gracious. Somehow, though, when he played he became the most powerful and ferocious force on the planet.
Love you so much Richie. Your music is a beautiful legacy and gift to humanity, thankyou. I'm going to miss you.
Strumming perfection. I also dig Mr. Havens view of things. He has such a cool spirit, it glows.
i once met this beautiful human being and seen him in concert countless times he's got a great feelings for all his songs he sings.I have even paid $5 for his concert in san francisco state university he says he was not out there to make money but to help the club in the university
o,too much i did not know know that,what a great image i now have in my mind,thanks
One of my favorite Havens jams. Four years gone now - RIP Richie.
lots of honest soul when richie performs.see him live if you can,he is a rare and special talent.
Fantastic Richie, i have the honor to meet him in Milan (Italy) and it was like to stay in front a piece of history.
Chicken skin and tears in my eyes during his concert..
We met him briefly once. Truly a beautiful human being. Heart! We will Not forget him!
My 21st birthday treat was seeing him in concert in 1973.
Definitely one of the best versions of this song out there
Richie straight up kicks ass
I saw Richie at Isle of Wight 1969, didn't know him really before that and was stunned and very moved by his performance. He was extraordinary. Man I was so young then.
I saw Richie perform two nights ago at The Ark in Ann Arbor. He played this song and many others. He is still astounding! He is also very kind. He stayed and spoke to anyone who wanted to see him after the show! I lost count of the guitar picks he shattered during the show! If you get the chance, see him!!!
Isn't this something wonderful? Reminds me that there is still good music out there....not just rap junk and grind music, there are still artists plying their trade...Dylan and Havens make for some wonderful stuff...Richie has an album of Beatle and Dylan tunes that is filled with great stuff like this...He is a legend and such a respectful performer and an enlightened one too....
still had the magic & kept his great vocal talent all his performing life great musician singer & song writer some thing ele again is my fav lp.rip mr havens you made a lot of people happy & had talent of the highest order & used it.he sang from the heart & soul with a deep & truthful message.which is potent.singing about real life real issues & trying to make society better for everyone.but sadly rap music & new bands today can only sing about hate which is why this is the real deal & will always stand the test of time.unlike the many fakes brought on to pay to play fakes radio who are only in it for the money & will soon be forgotten no one will forget richie havens great post..
Pure Energy of Soul & Empathic Emotion now Surfing his Final Reward Peace to You and Blessings Sir - Freedom!
Everyone who hears this song, yesterday today and tomorrow, they're going to take away this license to kill. That's your power Richie. Rest in Peace man.
Richie Havens... Une guitare, une voix! Something else
he tunes to the tune of his voice...which is unique....good luck players, strummers and wanna be rockstars....play this
WOW...GOD Bless you Richie. Loved the Dylan song...now this is my favourite version.
"His mind has been mismanaged with great skill."
wrote a poem for him, delighted he got to read it when it came into print.
I love old hippies.
nobody covers Dylan like Ritchie
You got that right.
Um Jimi Hendrix?????
@@TheHouse1989 He did one excellent cover. Richie Havens had many, sadly of course he had more time. Plus he was a folk musician, Bob's music is more suited to him.
i've loved music of Richie Havens since 1969. he did a great version of "here comes the sun" which was a big hit in 1971.
i had never heard of richie and till i brought woodstcok on dvd i was instantly a fan, great voice.
*The Man of Passion* he is!
just about anything richie havens ever did is worth listening to and has a real human feel to it. he was great, i wish i had gotten to see him live sometime.
Very proffesional. I am impressed.
a true voice of the people. love will lead the way and we will follow. death to hate so we may all live free
Havens has 1 of the coolest, most unique voices I have ever heard.
Man, Richie makes it looks so effortless. Of course, for him it is.
Richie is vastly underrated, and has been a favourite of mine since I first saw him in Hyde Park in the late sixties.Great stuff.
RIP Richie you were one of the best ever, without any doubt..! A tragic loss..!
if you go to richie's website he has a lot of the tunings he uses ... he used a lot of weird tunings, ones he even made up ... that takes real guts and shows a way of looking at music and instruments that is truly unique.
Alla Richard Havens,no idea his tuning,but precious sound sprit capitol.RIP,Love and Light, Chris Young,a retired fiddler of Albuquerque, NM.
This is one of the BEST videos I've seen of Richie! Great job!
I love this song and I love Richie Havens!

Trés belle interprétation pleine de sensibilités à fleur des doigts !

Fantastic!
Breathtaking
This is, in my opinion, the best version of this song.
This is an awesome cover
Richie is an incredible musician and stylist on guitar...
This is one of the best videos on RUclips.
Hello France, I agree - he brings a tear to the eye. Very moving song and performed as only richie can do it!
It is a true.
It is a pray.
It is all.

Only THIS man can play THIS song in THIS way.
Uniquely brilliant! Great Dylan tune from Infidels album.

Love your version, dear Richie !!
You rocked many a world, so happy I saw you in East Hampton at Steven Talkhouse.
i just saw him last night in Jacoby auditorium here in Roseburg Oregon! he is really awsome!!!!
Great video! I love his performances. Amazing singing, guitar playing and general delivery. Cool left hand technique too.
He is really incredible. I think I might go see him in Portland Maine on June 6th. One Longfellow Square is a great small venue. This makes the ticket price seem worth every penny...
Well done, Richie Havens my brother...
I so agree with SuperSweetUniverse! Richie has a way of doing a song that makes a soul wanna rise up and make a difference!

Hey Richie.......PLEASE do a video of this superb quality singing your great cover of Here Comes The Sun. Some one let him know that there are a bunch of us waiting~! (those cell-phone videos just don't cut it)
Richie love you forever. Farewell rest in peace.
Eeeeasy man. Remember where you're at - this is Richie-Land, where we're all kind to oneanother.
Geeez. (utoob ain't the Big Angry Field, ya know)
Best version of this song.
