From the way this was originally so horribly censored and mangled by the network (which the brothers had demonstrated some of the CBS network edits for when it later aired on E) to this beautiful full performance which was never originally aired in its entirety… let me just say this is really a beautiful thing to watch! Thank you so much for making it available to anyone and everyone on RUclips!! it’s a beautiful restoration!! Thank you Joan, Tommy and Dickie for everything!! ❤️❤️❤️
I wrote to dear sweet Mimi and told her how her sister's music saved my sanity when I was in the air force in the 60s. She was kind enough to answer me. RIP Mimi
The conviction, honesty, bravery and intelligence of Joan Baez and The Smothers Brothers renders my insomnia a small price to pay. Thanks for posting this.
The couple I babysat for in the early 60’s had many of her albums and I listened to them, along with PP&M and a few others. I fell in love with Joan Baez’s music at about age 14! I’m now 73 and this is a true gift 💝! (I’m still friends with the people I babysat for way back then!)
11:02 fabulous Joan inspired me to start playing the guitar and singing. Also aged 14! Now 72 and still playing, singing Plaisire D'amour at cousins birthday party last week. Nowhere near as well as Joan though. Still trying 😊
Ich war schon in zwei Live KONZERTEN VON IHR und war und bin immer noch begeistert ! Es macht mir immer noch Spaß ihr Diamonds und Rust zu singen und zu Spielen auf der Gitarre! Ich bin 75 und Sie immer noch eine tolle Frau!
My son told me last week when he was young he played one of my albums of Joan and thought she sang like an Angel. He has a great appreciation of her wonderful ballads!
Love this Smothers Brothers video, remember seeing it back in '69. I just wrote a reflection poem about Joan Baez a week or two ago. I'm 75 years old and a lifelong poetry writer of thousands. I've recently started a series on people I respect and love from my teenage, 20s, and younger years. Joan Baez was one of the very first.
all things change. and despite the not looking so good these days, all things change....AND pendulums swing! Her song also speaks to loss and grief and melancholy, while embracing the whole dang pathos in life!
I first heard Joan sing back in the early sixties. I have loved her singing ever since. Not only is her singing great but also is the values for which she stands.
The final song, I Shall Be Released, was beautifully done. It was enhanced with the Smothers Brothers singing on the chorus. I imagine many people in the audience weren't familiar with I Shall Be Released since Dylan himself hadn't issued a version of it yet. And, I believe, the only released version at the time of this broadcast was on The Band's Big Pink album.
Incredible crystal clear timeless message through music! Thank you for providing such a wonderful rendition of such a time, with beautiful Joan Baez and the Smothers Brothers!
Well spotted bigsky@ … except… there is no mistake here. @steve is saying Mom saw Joan in 67… not Joan PLUS Bob. For the record, I saw Joan on Oct 16, 1965 at London's Royal Festival Hall, and Bob on May 11, 1966 in Cardiff's Capitol Theatre.~ Dai Woosnam (Grimsby, UK)
First time hearing these songs by Joan Baez; she's very good. Also, the Smothers Brothers known for being very funny were also talented musicians and singers as well.
Always great to hear Ms. Baez. Such a great singer, and wonderful soul. Also one of my first crushes when I was 6 or 7 in the early 60's watching and singing along where I could with my mother, father, brother and sister in front of the black and white tv in our living room.
I think this was the performance they transferred to her album. Anyway she was in her best voice then, which means the best voice of every human being on the planet.
The world was full hope back then that the US and all mankind would become a society of decent men and women. And where are we and especially the US are now?
@justpassingby2358 Yes, l felt that we were on our way to a better world growing up in the 60's. 😥 It's been on a downward spiral on so many levels. "When will we ever learn?"
I believe that is one of her Martin 0-45 guitars. Small body (size 0), slot headstock, 12 frets to the body, the style 45 is their most highly decorated model, with abalone inlays, Brazilian rosewood back and sides, an ebony or rosewood board and a spruce top; it is an iconic Martin design that harkens back to the late 1800s. They are commonly referred to today as "Parlor guitars".
Tommy also had a Martin, but did not use it on the show. He had a Guild he used on the show and that one is in the Comedy Museum, the Martin went to his son Bo.
Isn't the D-18 the most popular Martin-Guitar? Didn't it become famous because the greatest Country & Rocklegends used that Version? I am really far from being a Smartass (i never played a Martin-Guitar, "only" a very decent and expensive Japanese Copy of ithe D-18)), but i ready and watched many Videos about the D-Series. Would love to know your opinion ON this. Have a wonderful Day.☝️🙏,@@PaisleyPatchouli
This was after she cut her famously long hair. I saw her in Berkeley at her first performance after the trim: collective gasp from the audience as she came on-stage.
Sweet Sir Galahad was not written to honour Joan's husband, but rather the (second) husband of Joan's sister, Mimi. His name is Milan Melvin. Sadly, the marriage did not last. Green green grass is performed for her own husband. David Harris eventually served 20 months in various jails, for refusing conscription.
And four months later Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon with Apollo 11 . I watched that on the squadron dayroom at Naha AFB , Okinawa . It was a strange year .
😅 my brother was taking a picture with this beautiful woman his name is l Ortiz from Stevie Nicks band he goes who did I meet I'm like oh goodness gracious
David went to prison. They divorced a little while after he was set free. This relationship appears to be referenced later by Bernstein in his opera “Mass”. Many young men chose prison over both Canada or Vietnam. Returning veterans often spoke respectfully of their decision.
A beautiful performance. But her haircut, and her outfit, look oddly masculine. I don't think I've seen her with that look before. Anyway, this was five months before her appearance at Woodstock, in March of 1969 (not 1968). David was sent to prison in July. He was certainly never facing any possibility of being executed, so playing "The Green, Green Grass of Home" for him was a bit over the top. But "I Shall Be Released", a song about prison, seems perfectly appropriate. BTW, for those who don't know, "The Smothers Comedy Brothers Hour" is a name that was mainly used for a show that was a summer replacement (in 1968) for "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour". It was hosted by Glen Campbell. So I'm a bit surprised to hear it used here for the actual Smothers Brothers show. I'm also wondering if Baez did appear again later in the program and perform any additional songs.
It's a Travis Pick, played her way. There is a teacher on YT named Frans Kuijpers that has covered most of her songs. Well worth checking out. Happy trails.
Yes, I believe that is one of her Martin 0-45 guitars.

@@PaisleyPatchouli: aye. I gave my wife a 00-42 as her wedding gift when we married. We're professional players and have been in the trenches since the late '70s! Still going!

I think the story is that this episode got The Smothers Brothers Show canceled, because they allowed Joan Baez to speak about her husband's anti-war activism.
Yes, I was quite amazed that she was allowed to speak about him and his anti-war principles on mainstream tv in this way. Not surprised to hear it was cut!
Coming from that same generation, and having served in the military, I’m a bit conflicted with Joan and her philosophy. While I think she was a standout performer, and till do, I cant ignore her disdain for America and the VN war veterans. Her “California hippy” husband is a coward who didn’t deserve my service.
Interesting. Dickie also served in the military. He's still sympathetic to her husband's cause as you can see here. But then again Dickie's father died at the hands of the Japanese after 4 years in inhumane conditions as a POW. Context.
There was never a folk singer with a voice as beautiful as that of Joan Baez. Thank you for this look back.
Thanks for watching!
Joan was great but I do consider sandy Denny as good easily

Thanks for the kind words ❤️ Glad you enjoyed this!
Joan Baez is one of the very best singers during my lifetime with such pretty songs so meaningful and with such a lovely voice!❤❤
She has definitely earned her place.
I wrote to dear sweet Mimi and told her how her sister's music saved my sanity when I was in the air force in the 60s. She was kind enough to answer me. RIP Mimi

Joan was 28. Tommy was 32. Dickie 30.
She is also 2 months pregnant here with her only child Gabriel.

Thank You such a treat. Once I believed we could be better, a lost dream, I am so sorry!
And it's only going to get worse. As Pogo once said.... "we have met the enemy, and he is us"
all things change. and despite the not looking so good these days, all things change....AND pendulums swing! Her song also speaks to loss and grief and melancholy, while embracing the whole dang pathos in life!
There is always hope... Let us hang on to that ! Loved Joan B since I was a young teen in early 1960s... So good to see this vid.
What an oasis this show was. For performances like this. At this time.
She has always been my fave!!!
Beautiful voice & beautiful person!
Whoa--timeless gold. When Joan's vocals soar at 8:38, I am mesmerized. I have hit replay several times writing this.
and 5:15 too
What a wonderful clip! All three songs were beautifully done! I love all their voices. Thank you, The Smothers Brothers Show!😊💜
Thank YOU! Glad you enjoyed this ❤️
There wasn’t any auto tune in those days.. just heart and true talent.
Simple and perfectly said.never agree with her political views but what a beautiful voice. Incredible.
This is an absolute gem!
I first heard Joan sing back in the early sixties. I have loved her singing ever since. Not only is her singing great but also is the values for which she stands.
Absolutely. Maybe the greatest pacifist and humanitarian, let alone best female folk singer, of the 20th Century.
Joan at her most beautiful sounding. Wonderful!
Thanks for watching!
This woman, along with PP&M and Johnny Cash taught me to stand up for my convictions no matter what.
💖💕🎶☮

Hey, March 1969. I just noticed. I was in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam. Trying to do what our country said we were supposed to do.
Thank you for your service.
Must be tough, glad you came back❤
Thank you, Sir.
@@kathym.248war is murder.
The way the voice and finger-picking glide together...one of a kind. Mom saw her with Bob in the 60s and at the Royal Albert Hall in 1967.
It would not have been 1967. Bob had his motorbike accident in 1966 and didn’t play live in 1967.

Thank you for posting this valuable concert. It reminds me of the days at Berkeley.
The name of “Smothers Brothers”(which i ‘ve found just now at RUclips), It brings back memories!
Thanks. I needed that. 🎶💕
Glad you enjoyed it!
At 81 I have seen my share of life, and this is the best voice the 1960s produced.
Wonderful Joan ❤
Just wonderful.
Thanks for watching!
A quality performance, a quality video. Nice to see. Thank you!
@@elizabethbeckman1947 Thank YOU for tuning in!

That beautiful voice❤
Now I see why she was so famous back in the 60's. I always thought she was just a second fiddle to Dylan, but I see I was WRONG!
She was never second fiddle to anyone. She was big before Dylan came along.
Absolutely wrong!😮
@@EncoreBand23 Joan released her first album in 1960. Dylan in 1962..
Perhaps it was Joan's voice that made Dylan famous
She introduced Dylan to the world as a guest in many of her concerts!
Amazing video.
Also seeing John Hartford accompaning on the songs.
Absolutely beautiful
LADY CAN SING AND PLAYS THAT GUITAR PRETTY DAMED GOOD TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVED HER THEN AND I STILL DO!!!!!!!!!!!
Always great to hear Ms. Baez. Such a great singer, and wonderful soul. Also one of my first crushes when I was 6 or 7 in the early 60's watching and singing along where I could with
my mother, father, brother and sister in front of the black and white tv in our living room.
Sounds so good ❤
With the voice of an angel and the look of an English rocker circa 1965. Can't help but love her.
SHE would fit right in with the Small Faces. Same haircut
She is very beautiful but, speaking as an Englishman born in 1945, she looks nothing like an English rock chick and sings like an angel.
WOW!
Just beautiful
What a phenomenal person. A phenomenal voice, a phenomenal story and oh those phenomenal eyes.
The audio is so wonderfully clear. I wonder how the instruments were mic'ed!
My brother works for Stevie Nicks as bass player took a picture of you and him he's like look sis😂 check this out I'm like oh my goodness
There was a time when we actually thought we were gonna win and soon
We have won.
@@lemurianchick Won what?
Yup, we're still winning❤
😢
Absolute Golden voice in the whole wide world 🌎
The way she turned around toward the audience ❤
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. ❤❤
If we had phone books today, I love Joan's voice so much, she could sing the phone book and it would sound exquisite.
I think this was the performance they transferred to her album. Anyway she was in her best voice then, which means the best voice of every human being on the planet.
The world was full hope back then that the US and all mankind would become a society of decent men and women. And where are we and especially the US are now?
That was my 18 year old thoughts in 1967
@justpassingby2358 Yes, l felt that we were on our way to a better world growing up in the 60's. 😥 It's been on a downward spiral on so many levels. "When will we ever learn?"

The movie got me to learn about these two gems that I was never really into back in the day.
Tommy Smothers passed a year ago. 🙏🏽💜
Probably the best folk singer voice ever!
Such a beautiful voice...
この動画のバエズにはボーイッシュな魅力があり，大変めずらしかったのですが，素晴らしい動画でした。彼女の声は限りなく美しく，そして彼女の心はもっと美しく，そして本当に強かったに違いありません。1969年頃はビートルズの晩年期でフォークソングの全盛期はすぎ，ニューロックと呼ばれるムーブメントが怒涛のように幕開けていた頃です。でも，今でも彼女の声と歌は人々を感動させます。きっと，これから１００年後もそうに違いありません。
Arigato
As fresh as the day it was recorded … timeless.
This was after she cut her famously long hair. I saw her in Berkeley at her first performance after the trim: collective gasp from the audience as she came on-stage.
You're perfect golden angelic voice
💜💜💜
Beatiful woman, I love her, she sing lovely ❤
I absolutely love that guitar. Bob Dylan played it on "don't look back".
My favorite thing about the new Bob Dylan movie is Joan Baez getting the laurels she deserves.
Une grande Dame 😌🙏🕉
Linda, maravilhosa!

Green green grass is performed for her own husband. David Harris eventually served 20 months in various jails, for refusing conscription.
Right. Mimi Farina and the husband who died was Richard Farina. Lovely song and too bad the marriage didn’t work out. Such a beautiful song.
It turned out he was abusive. Poor Mimi.
Anđeo sa neba sišao i pjeva kroz Joan ❤
This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson
am i only dreamin?
Alert ears will note John Hartford's superb 5-string dobro accompaniment. Hartford wrote GENTLE ON MY MIND.
And four months later Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon with Apollo 11 . I watched that on the squadron dayroom at Naha AFB , Okinawa . It was a strange year .
Sorry they never went to the moon.

Wasn’t about her husband. Fir her sister, Mimi
She talked about Harris live on stage at Woodstock, saying he had organized a hunger strike in the prison.

Are either Gershenson or Dingilian (Was one named Bob and one named Dave?) still around?
Do any guitar people know what type of picking pattern Joan is using on Sweet Sir Galahad? I want to recreate it, but don't know where to start.
Seems to me like Travis Picking (at twice the speed one might usually play it).
It's a Travis Pick, played her way. There is a teacher on YT named Frans Kuijpers that has covered most of her songs. Well worth checking out. Happy trails.

I remember when the Democratic party stood for peace.
1968 or 1969?
March, 1969. A month later CBS fired them.
it was the time when female singers displayed art , voice and meaningful lyrics ...nowadays it's flesh and lust .
Perfect pitch
She was 2 months pregnant here.
Thans for the comercialsa pity they wer singing through them
Smothers brothers did Nixon jokes and His White house hated them for it !! 😊😊😊😊
Tee Hee! “Historic”!
I think the story is that this episode got The Smothers Brothers Show canceled, because they allowed Joan Baez to speak about her husband's anti-war activism.
No, not really. But it added fuel to the fire when CBS creatively censored her speech. Just another thing CBS did to fuck with the Brothers.
Yes, I was quite amazed that she was allowed to speak about him and his anti-war principles on mainstream tv in this way. Not surprised to hear it was cut!
Coming from that same generation, and having served in the military, I’m a bit conflicted with Joan and her philosophy.

But then again Dickie's father died at the hands of the Japanese after 4 years in inhumane conditions as a POW. Context.
Bob was probably jealous of her ability to sing.
