    The spirit in Tim will ever live on. He was the one who made me quit my own drug abuse. He died from his, but at least he saved one life--my own. I was on Fentanyl for almost 15 years, and it took me 8 month sof hell to get rid of the physical abstinence. I made it, Tim didn't, but his strong spirit lives on forever through us. I'm sure he's not the only one he helped, despite his own sacrifice. But seeing him so full of heroin, as in this performance, makes me understand what emotional pain he was in. Makes my eyes tear. Physically, you can fight it, ut not emotionally. Life-long struggle. But I've been off drugs for ten years now.

      So many precious muscians lost their life and left us rueing the vagaries of drugs. I was speaking to a friend and said Jerry Garcia cheated us by dying so young only because he did drugs big time. My friend said I didn't understand. Jerry had lived his life the way he wanted. Years do not count. He utilized the freedom to live the way wanted and freedom to die. Listen to the songs he left behind....... I think that goes for Tom too.

      Tim had more soulful folk songs than any other folkie of that era. Maybe Fred Neil could be on his level. Greenwhich Village in the early and mid 60’s would have been a trip and a hell of fun, creative time. Same with San Francisco scene in the mid to late 60’s. Hell Laurel Canyon scene might even have had the most eclectic scene of them all. Man, I wish I was a 60’s guy and not a 33 year old rootsy musician lol

      Yes, very sad; Heroin has taken the lives of many great artists. The world has been deprived of much beauty and poetry and uniqueness because of drug and alcohol abuse. Hopefully others have learned and will learn from such tragedies. But of course we lost River Phoenix and Heath Ledger to similar circumstances. All life is precious, but the death of artists are often felt most deeply by the masses. Thanks for sharing info about Tim's grave site.

    Tim Hardin joined the army at 18 and was sent to Vietnam. The year was 1958. While there, he began using heroin, and eventually died from this in 1980. This performance is perhaps the peak of his entire career (August 1969), his guitar playing and singing are outstanding here. His releases from 66-68 are all very strong. He was well known those years. In fact, I believe Tim was supposed to open Woodstock, on that first day (a three-day music festival held a 2-hr drive north of New York City), a Friday, but he was either too frightened or high, or both. He'd go on stage later that night. 'Tim Hardin 3' is a live release from NYC in '68, almost as good as this.

    Simply beautiful. We can say what we will about folks that feel a need to escape from the realities of our world, but to me it is only the shallow that never feel that pull. So many of our great artist whether singers, painters, writers, or all the other groups have through out time felt this need. I'm not saying it is the best choice to be made nor am I saying it is the worst. It just is what it is. A mind and soul that feels to strongly the air around them. Had Tim have been a drunk would the disdain shown by so many have been less? His music, to me, shows all the signs of being an Empath. One in touch with his own thoughts as well as the feelings of those he came in contact with as he traveled through life. These people carry not only the weight of their own short comings, but those of us all. As I watch my country sink into the quicksand of its own hate and greed I wish we had more of these people.

      Yes, it is. But it ruined many lives. I lost all my friends, and i'm near death myself.

    Yes, he is on something strong, but he pulls off a heartbreaking performance - it not even a performance, it's real and raw. The jazz influence in his work is there. His songs have been covered by many but no one sang them like Tim himself. I just picked up a second-hand copy of "Tim Hardin 3", the live album from '68 on LP - hope it's as good as this.

    Saw him once in London. Half Moon pub in Putney. He was a bit out of it but still brilliant. I was sitting next to Bert Jansch.

    Simultaneously beautiful & sad. Many don't know he was asked to open the show, but he chickened out -- Richie Havens did instead and he, rather than Tim, will be remembered for his iconic performance. Tim was also under the influence of heroin and was unable to complete his entire set. Really feel bad for the guy -- this had the potential to be perhaps the greatest moment of his life, and it fell apart.

      I actually heard he was too high to go on stage...Not sure which is true because he was a bit nervous in front of a crowd.

    The organizers wanted to put Tim Hardin on first but he was both still zonked on the drugs and terrified by the size of the crowd, he begged off...he went on after dark when he couldn't see the crowd...as you can tell he was still zonked on drugs but he managed to pull it off at least for a short set....I will always like this version the best

    He seems rather out of it, mixing up words and so on. But it just makes the performance more kind of wistful, especially knowing his addiction. A case of beauty tortured sore.

      Philip Ferguson He was very stoned on heroin here; if you see him in the original film during the segment where he's wandering around waiting to go on, he's incoherent. Joan Baez performed after him & she said his performance was disappointing & sad; I'd have to agree.

      Yeah - it's totally heartbreaking - Self medicating with Heroin to keep one's psychic pain at bay eventually brings greater pain - Then eventually the drugs stop working & the pain increases exponentially - heroin layers emotional pain on top of pain He surely must have suffered with PTSD - Things suck for veterans in this day & age but back then there was no empathy or compassion whatsoever
