Joan Baez & Judy Collins- Newport Folk Fest '09

Joan Baez and Judy Collins sing Baez's "Diamonds & Rust" live at the Newport Folk Festival 2009

[@micmac99]

We need to cherish these legends while they are still with us.

[@ogtbeach]

Grace, talent and self confidence from a woman who shares her song, sings back-up harmony, allows no instrumental in the per formance AND hold the music and turns the page!!! Humble and great is Joan. She remains a champion!

[@ZZBob777]

This is a terrific version of Diamonds& Rust. Both ladies have beautiful voices. And they blend. I love this version.

[@mariespeer8351]

Judy Collins's voice gets better with age. kudos to these two talented women aging with grace.

[@juliannaughton2205]

beautiful..2 great singers..loved this version ❤

[@michaelmiller1215]

Two legends. Judy’s voice is mesmerizing.

[@marcostar57]

Folk music icons together -- what beautiful voices & such a hauntingly beautiful song.

My two timeless singers together... What more can be said.

[@wandamundy2990]

What a duo . . . Both still at the top of their game. Sometimes I think Music was only the vehicle that Baez used to do her "real" work - that of a social, community and political activist . . . Fantastic blend of fantastic voices . . .

[@davidgoodwin8641]

2 of GREATEST female singer songwriters ever loved them both all through my life😛😛😛

[@cindymaes9468]

Judy voice is amazing , it's very bright and clear.

[@nolala5629]

Two of the most Amazing women in the music industry!!! Much Love and Blessings Dear Ones......Namaste, Shanti in Austin, TX......

[@twilatharp3386]

Joan's voice is as good as it ever was. She's a very generous soul and she wanted Judy to do this, so that's what happened. These songs actually have meaning, plus people like Joan and Judy always put their heart and soul into the performance. Love them both ❤️❤❤️*•.¸♥♥¸.•*❤️❤❤️

[@dominiquedv]

Awesome duet of two folk-ladies with beautiful voices!

[@SaskiaCornell]

This is a piece of folk history - love you Joan. Saskia

[@balderdashman]

If angels exist... you're lookin' at 'em. Talent that mortal humans should not possess!

[@robynkulp6946]

Such a memory for the folksinging world of fans,..bravo, Joanie and Judy!!!

[@verbaud]

Absolutely exquisite.

[@msmucde]

Two great Ladies - how wonderfull - all the best to you.

[@noraluzcalugas2731]

Lovely Duo, Ladies🚭🍿🎥🎼🌞🛡️♀️🧬🫖🍵🌐🍋✨💎 Diamonds & Rust

[@leeshalou]

Thats AMAZING! My two favorite singers! Brilliant!

[@eXtremeMohaz]

oh...legends once again..it brings back good memories way back...and still they got the voice...blending each other and harmoniously supplement each other...

[@vacantgreen]

This was incredible to see live. I was so lucky to be in Rhode Island for school this summer.

[@advaweinerman5964]

one of the most beautiful songs ever. Bob Dylan's spirit hovers over it.

[@eileenmurphy2019]

Two of the best! I was never lucky enough to see Joan Baez but saw Judy Collins first at age 14 and again at age 45.

[@BlindBoyGrunt77]

Joanie and Judy - two national treasurers.. Should Baez have to read the words to her classic song to Dylan's narcissim :) :)

[@Fleurmarie100]

Magnifiques artistes, voix envoûtantes. Merci!

[@joannie1q2w3e]

I cannot believe I missed the Newport Folk Fest & I live here on Aquidneck Island (where Newport is located)! Beautiful voices from the past...still sounds so pretty today.

[@Tinkersmith999]

I'm sorry for those seven who gave a thumbs down to this video, they obviously are missing some senses. 2 awesome talents.

[@LeeMike233]

In 1976 my husband proposed to me playing the song "Diamonds and Rust". What a great memory for such a great song. Two great outstanding women!!!

[@bobuppendown7277]

You saw these ladies together, I am so envious.

[@gerbilkevable]

What voices...gorgeous

[@PGursky]

Thanks so much. Absolutely wonderful!

[@alheitzer2438]

Absolutely stunning!

[@shosit]

the beautiful idols of my youth show me how gracefully beauty can age

[@Winwood39]

Judy's phrasing and vocals give an all new dimension to this beautiful song. Love the sound quality on this. Thanks for posting!

[@kathyfox8288]

Joan looks terrific.

[@giovannibellini4098]

Judy, Judy, Judy!!!!

[@giovannibellini4098]

And Joan, for sure!!!!

[@jodyhamilton9757]

Wow, what a nice song. They sound great together.

[@tenorschofield]

Great singers in great singing, these two laddies really resemble what I feel music shall be, a pure expresion of the heart and soul!!! Bravas!!!

[@odisseus20dx]

Those are 2 of the most most most talented.... An encounter of 2 stars..

[@fenster1225]

I was there that day as well....shed a few tears for our collectively lost youth....

[@MsPermaculture]

Unbelievable - I was loving every moment. I wish I'd been there. Joan Baez was my absolutely favorite when i was growing up. And, of course, Judy Collins is awesome too. Thank you for posting this.

[@MART0613]

Just Great! Thanks.

[@612franklin]

Wise Women make my heart sing

[@liuliuqiu03]

[@dearanniep]

Just wonderful

[@sherryhopkins1192]

What a tremendous performance by 2 musical icons. Thought I had died and gone to heaven!

[@kunfang]

wow timeless timeless.........

[@beldengi]

I've got two tickets to see Judy Collins in the Spiegeltent in Melbourne Australia, come March 2012. My daughter had never even heard of her so she is in for something really special.

[@whiskey6actual]

who gonna top this duo ? NOBODY

[@Spiritofeve1]

Oh my goodness.. Utter Beauty...

[@clairedelune49]

The Betty and Veronica of the 60's folk scene-- together once again. They sound and look great!

[@thomasromano9321]

Betty and Veronica? When I think of them I think of the Archies.... yuck! They were one hit wonders!

[@SaskiaCornell]

Absolutely stunning Saskia

[@dannybarcenas9701]

They sound the same My favourite divas

[@Imissthepostoffice]

Thanks for sharing this footage with us Phoenix .. Beautiful .. thank you.

[@ysplse]

They have from gone Judy is still as good as ever

[@markoobilic3207]

That's why we love women

[@FlyingMondongo]

TWO LEGENDS, NOW AND THEN AND FOREVER.

[@Paulsdottir]

incredible thank you!

[@anentien]

What must have been good to be there. Very good sound and image, but above all, the magnificent Joan & Judy sang that song in 2009. Congratulations and thank you for my favorite song. Anentien, from Argentina

[@vsraff]

Just saw Joan in concert in October. Can't get those high notes anymore but still incredible.

[@NguyenHienminh]

I was in Newport that day. So beautiful!

[@ogtbeach]

Watch Judy Collins sing Amazing Grace at Mary Travers' Memorial service. She is amazing. She and Joan have maintained their voices. Legends!!

[@gerriehallisy6738]

Extraordinarily

[@Keyboardman88]

Here's the ultimate folk trio..Joan Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Judy Collins.

[@homelessbrother]

Gosh - Diamonds and Rust is one of my faves, well captured Friend.

[@puck2250]

I left before they sang this! I thought Joan had finished her bit. She was so wonderful!

[@jimclarke1108]

fabulous voices together

[@RoseLieberman]

love Judy collins and Joan Baez

[@carolynfleming7885]

2 musical icons. they are great

[@poupettecrochet1535]

Elles sont superbes !!!

[@demoras]

Amazing! She has an amazing voice! :o

[@derbeh]

Two incredibly beautiful talented activist singers. Where have the flowers such as these gone? Thank u for posting this. It's legendary.

[@1symphysodon]

Judy had a successful operation on her vocal chords back in the late '70s that may have contributed to her voice's longevity.

[@sylviaskelton1908]

legends!!!

[@bc02yaz]

best voice ever...

[@wglovett]

Brilliant

[@Ragnarokr]

WOW!

[@SpoonEtunes]

They are amazing together I would love to get a good recording of them doing this tune

[@saullouis]

Wow. What pro's. What prose.

[@gwynnevans1282]

This would have been a good video if you could have held the camera right. Also, Joan's voice has gotten lower whereas Judy has kept her soprano voice beautifully which is unusual as most of us get a lower voice as we age. If you think Joan has lost it, see her 75th birthday celebration! They both look great.

[@bobharris77]

I don't think Joannie's lost her voice, but Judy Collins has always been the best singer in her genre and the best musician. She was a classical pianist before she went into folk music.

[@mykkie100]

Judy is 77 and Joan is 75! Wow! Treasures!

[@mlebron20]

Agreed. But Judy somehow sounds better than ever. Remarkable preservation, given what she has been though.

[@Arkybark]

Both of them have had problems with their vocal chords, and Judy at least has had hers operated on. I'm not sure about Joan. But listen to Judy's early work. Her voice is much deeper - which probably has nothing to do with her vocal chords but more with style.

[@nitropost]

Come on , getting older means you are not twenty two, eye sight, voice , hearing , bladder etc etc. at their age they are superb but dont expect them to be teens.

[@odovicor]

When you become an icon, and for such worthy reasons as these women have, you have only to be in "sync" with yourself--and a lamentable few people are. I heard somewhere Judy Collins was Bill Clinton's favorite singer, understandable.I grew up in beautiful rural Kentucky where most people have very small, static minds, and these singers, along with Buffy Sainte-Marie and Joni Mitchell, made life more meaningful.

[@IrisMG]

Wow...and they're how old?! I want to be like them in 20 years!

[@Thomasw540]

A very interesting experiment, given the history. They could work it into a classic duet without much trouble. Judy goes for the drama, Joan for the flat statement.

[@doUcare4music]

they sound so good together ! .. and just as good solo ..

[@tonyatemcor]

where are we going to get these voices now

[@amike401]

@marshauer I was there too. Wouldn't have missed it for the world.

[@olrappaport7474]

You know that if Joan is singing harmony you're doomed...

[@thespecialneedsgroup]

@twentyyearsafter Funnily (or possibly sadly), when Dylan mentioned the song to her, she told him it was about David Harris.

[@taddyd1]

i love it when Judy goes all chatty kathy. JC does a great job on this song but I have never liked this song as a duet. Judy & Joan on OH HAD A GOLDEN THREAD is the ultimate folk girl duet!

[@daoecadapessoacomoseusenti6856]

Vozes agraciada por Deus. Faz bem ao espírito.

[@Colt76180]

Suite Judy blue eyes.

[@lyndafayesmusic]

I THOUGHT they did a duet somewhere ! Found it, duh!

[@GEOHHADDAD]

Think about this...Judy is 69 years old in this clip......talk about knowing how to get old with grace and style.

[@oldbeatpete]

it is odd that both of them need the music sheet-?

[@SaskiaCornell]

@atyler7353 it was a last minute decision for Joan and Judy to sing together-they didn't have time to practice. Saskia

[@ivojarolim2497]

neskutečné...krásné...

[@PS109VanBurenHigh]

This live duet was excruciating for Joan. Judy belts out the song triumphantly while Joan can barely muster her voice and struggles to stay on key all the while looking down and concentrating on the sheets as if she were singing it for the first time. Her demeanor shows she wasn't happy performing her signature and very personal song on stage with (and on behalf of)Judy Collins at that particular moment.

[@meltzerboy]

Yet they did perform the song together again at the 75th birthday anniversary of Joan.

[@liagarden]

@ddviolinist There are many in the music and movie industry. Sean Penn, Bono. Join them in their humanitarian efforts. Also Michael Reynolds, an architect. See him on you tube/Garbage Warrior.
