Donovan Performs a Live Medley on the Stern Show (1996)

[@TheNewRisingSun_]

One of the most underrated artists in rock history

[@trentcruise3084]

And for good reason!!!

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

I agree!

[@kurtkohen6668]

he was a burn out. People raise these average slobs to something guru. There wasnt an original thought in that pot heads noodle ever.

[@stevefowler5970]

@@kurtkohen6668 well, he sung the songs well, and he explained the writing of them well in this interview, that's all you can expect from singer songwriters...

[@markb20]

Underrated artist and also a human time capsule of the 1960s.

[@powertuber4.068]

Wow, that vibrato is natural, I always thought that was a studio effect.

[@rorygibson9490]

Me too!!

[@agp9844]

all his personal trait

[@robertlee8042]

It’s not a vibrato. He’s wiggling his voice.

[@rebekahbaylus8606]

It was a recording. 😂

[@powertuber4.068]

@@rebekahbaylus8606 Are you implying he was lip-syncing? Wrong.

[@egbun]

Donovan is loaded with talent, and a great storyteller to boot

Talent and charisma.

[@frankr.larkin7249]

True genius. Underrated songwriter. Underrated vocalist. Underrated rock icon.

[@joevokey1340]

If you step back, research Donovan’s music catalog, imo he’s ridiculously underrated!!

[@rodnyg7952]

he's still got it after all these yrs. Just an acoustic guitar, open mic, and his voice

[@BOBBOTO]

Greatest artist of the 60's, but this is 30 years ago, mate. Cheers!

[@riceflatpicking4954]

Donovan is so awesome. I smiled throughout this entire video. Rare moments like these where a person can just sit and be happy..you can’t put a dollar amount on that.

[@larryn2682]

Tony?

[@agp9844]

so hard not to smile and enjoy the sound

[@saathoff1220]

I was listening in 1969 and I'm still listening. I especially love A Gift From a Flower to a Garden.

Great album, so many good songs.

[@donwarnick1089]

Was just listening to it last night

[@billselznick586]

One of my all time favorite albums.

[@dynjarren8355]

Donovan is legendary! He went with the Beatles to India. How many people can say that? Not many. He has such a clear voice and sounds great here! 👏🏻🎸😎

[@bennettoberfeld614]

Catch the Wind, an absolutely beautiful song. 5:58

[@truck9moon100]

"Season of The Witch" always did it for me. Incredible talent.

[@BritIronRebel]

The entire Cosmic Wheels LP was a masterpiece!

[@jimrebr]

I love Season Of The Witch, that is an early jam song and I love it❤❤❤

[@brownkemosabe]

Donovan is a class act of a folk musician. His Jersey Thursday and Catch The Wind are so beautiful

[@PeaceCommando]

This was a great mini-concert from a legendary rocker.

[@inkey2]

I always thought that voice vibrato was some kind of studio trick with a delay or something. Thats amazing.

[@ZJ-ne9kn]

He is a great storyteller. guess that's why he's such a great writer always been a fan

[@aprilm2664]

WOW HE,S STILL GOT IT, SOUNDS GREAT AND LOOKS GREAT

[@tonyhall3365]

well, this was a quarter of a century ago

[@MarkLeasures]

Donovan super songwriter and all emotions...still moves me...

[@deputywill1114]

2023, and I'm still boppin' to this.

[@AngelA-qj4jx]

Pure artist, poet and performer! Donovan killed it!

[@harrypeters8306]

I thoroughly enjoyed that more than almost any Howard Stern interview

[@playedout148]

Amazing vocalist and songwriter. Creativity is almost magical.

[@stuzo666]

Brilliance

[@Dwightgirl]

Love, love, love Donovan! This is fabulous!

[@dynjarren8355]

He still sounds great! He is the Hurdy Gurdy Man.

[@MrThermostatic]

This is practically 30 years ago.

[@zyxmyk]

loved donovan since i heard sunshine superman in 1966.

[@AV-RC]

Love that he can get a Leslie sound with his vocal vibrato

[@swordfish52]

I Concur Jonathan ...

[@jk-76]

I thought the same thing. Such a unique voice.

[@dcool2u2]

I was gonna say that 😊 It's amazing that he controlled the timing of it to match the rythmn perfectly!

[@barrygaynor1025]

Donovan is terrific.

[@glenrose7925]

Wow! Such a pleasure to see Donovan in this interview.

[@davidbutler8850]

A Giant of a composer, singer, guitarist, Spiritual Shaman! Viva Donovan!❤

[@marioct130]

Love his love story....

[@ps-bi2sr]

Played like a 60's hit machine....incredible!

[@timwhetstone9285]

Donovan had the gift. I hope he's been well compensated for all these songs that will stand the test of time after we're all dead and buried.

[@janisjoplinsgf5382]

i LOVE donovan

[@richardcrook3372]

He looks and sounds so well. An original and a great talent.

[@olafsrensen9578]

Donovan was one of my greatest music heroes in the end of the 60 ties .A very original singer and a fine guitarplayer .

[@robertmarshall7938]

Great love it Donavon a true artist

[@jimandlizhudson2501]

The voice has held up well.

[@lhcarter]

He had SO MANY good songs. I believe Catch the Wind was first, he was “ folk” at the time.

[@CB-ke7eq]

Linda the muse deserves praise for inspiring some of the most original pop music of the mid/late 60s.

She was also gorgeous!

[@alexbowman7582]

She left him for Brian Jones/

[@sunkintree]

I think the actual writers of those music deserve the praise, but she can get a little bit

[@grampageorge3407]

That was great!

[@theitalianskunkwhisperer6843]

I know Howard's had so many great artists in his studio especially Donovan!

[@wokeupandsmellthecoffee214]

Absolutely brilliant 👏

[@MrYale007]

I'll always be forever grateful to Howard for introducing me to Donovan's music.

[@margaretvella3557]

Love…love…love Donovan….always have since the sixties…my kind of music

[@lgaytan65]

This is talent boys & girls with real singing & not using computers to sing for you.

[@bradr8806]

super simple and cool songs

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

What a "Way Back" Machine! I just heard "Mello Yellow" yesterday on the radio. Backstories on most any subjects can be very interesting.

[@ericbellerose]

Donovan is so cool 🤘Rock and Roll 🌸🌼

[@shadowbear66]

If you don't know Legend of a girl child Linda from the Sunshine Superman album you might want to check it out as it is one of Donovan's most beautiful songs

[@christineayres7199]

The voice is Gold pure Gold 🥇 the 5th Beatle he should've been just so talented and he was on Futurama 🤣👍 Atlantis story lol

[@TWayneD1020]

Amazing !! He turned out a lot of great music !! Thank you so much !!

[@christophermoon64]

I love Dylan, Cohen, Woody, Waits etc but Donovan was a tremendous influence on the direction I would walk in music. He's fantastic. 👌

[@justinmichaeltarot]

He still sounds phenomenal

[@writerpaperback6284]

So good, I remember them all.

[@robertflagg2461]

Part of Beatle history here. Also Atlantis! Way down below the ocean!

[@mccards]

Well the hippies developed from the beats. Donovan is a beat as he states, pioneered the transition from Beats to Hippies. Beat no doubt.

[@hamricmike8]

He definitely hung out with the Beatles a lot. Paul McCartney plays on the Mellow Yellow recording.

[@kolchak357]

Love Donovan! His Troubadour box set is awesome.

[@4465Vman]

loved "Troubador!"

[@daleywhaley]

Just wonderful xx

[@ronscheanwald3675]
