the version he performed at Phil Ochs' memorial was my favorite. As far as I know, it's only recorded on film, and used in the terrific Och's biodoc, Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune - very moving. Von Ronk was an amazing interpreter of the folk and blues traditions, and stayed true to the genres.
Nanci is one of the greatest singers, songwriters and guitar players on the planet. Saw her twice in Los Angeles back in the 1990s. And Van Ronk--the self-styled "Mayor of McDougal St. Two giants.
Was it the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles where you saw Nanci Griffith? I was at one of her concerts there so we may have been there at the same time. Only time I ever saw Nanci in concert.
sad that we lost Dave Van Ronk in 2002 and Nancy Grifith in 2021 ... Van Ronk performed this song at Phil Ochs tribute concert memorial in 1976. I saw Van Ronk perform multiple times in the Village.
Two of my favorite artists who I never would have thought had collaborated. I'd like to see Nanci and Van Morrison. Both having worked with the Chieftains.
@@hodah spunds like him. He was a village guy. Meaning Greenwich. He was the "king" of the folk scene. Very badass attitude. Did you ever see him sing now I'm a fuckin hero live? I want to know if he did. Where did you see him? Favorite record? I'm partial to Sunday street cause of my dad he had a jazz resurgance late too. This video is incrediblecwith nanci love her you ever see her?
Sincere and gently elegant, this was a special kind of folk music expression, just between old friends.
The way it's done -- 100. Old School
This is really something. I never even knew that Nanci Griffith and Dave Van Ronk ever performed together. Thanks.
Wow,what a beautiful version. One of those songs that if the vocal is fragile like it deserves to be delivered you can't keep from crying.
My favorite singer/songwriter/singer since I was 14 years old❤ 🫶🏼

I bless and thank singers who honor those who came before them.
Wow.
I once heard DVR introduce this song as 'A song I stole from Bob Dylan who stole it from me."
Actually
Dave wrote this song and Dylan stolid it from him.
@verbaud Certainly Nanci is such a singer. She is always honoring those who influenced her, and mentoring those who will come after.
This is so awesome.
RIP Nanci.
Thanks so much for posting this . . .🎶 ❤

Van and nanci were on stage together once tell more later. They were in a big group...not a duet
First song I learnt
My boyfriend taught me this, he died a year later, 1966
I'm sorry, I hope this made you remember a happy time with him.
I miss Nanci, already… shucks.
Awesome job to the taper people rip tapers a lot but this recording proves their worth what a nice surprise
Zach Kopka I did ask Dave if I could record it and he said it was ok. ✌🏼
@@hodah you got to ask dave himself? Incredible. How did you meet him?
@@ZachKopkaZake I went to several of his shows and they were often quite intimate. And he'd stand outside smoking a cigarette!

Can SOMEBODY PLEASE TAB THIS THING? Dang it if I can't figure out what the hell chords he's playing after the A/E thing.
M CUBED its on ultimate guitar
You have: A, D, E, along with C#7 and Em7. Looks like he does it with the capo up about the 2nd fret.
Sad to hear what the cigarettes did to the once robust Van Ronk voice.
That’s not a voice- it’s an outburst!
