saw Joan in 1963 at the old forest hills tennis stadium; towards the end of the concert she brought on stage someone named Bobby Dylan, lol.

[@LimeMortar]

Joan Baez is true legend. What a diamond

[@gaylejohnson4663]

And there isn't any rust! Her voice remains. I lived in Brooklyn back in the early 70's. The City was so alive. Then came the 1st wave of Yuppies. The City has lost a lot! But lost a lot with the artists, paintings,, everyone couldn't afford the jacked up rents. Now the outer boroughs are getting squeezed out. Still ❤ the City has many problems, it is still the greatest city in the world! Living in Toronto. Can not wait to move back to Brooklyn. Not wealthy, but comfortable. Try to donate what we are able to do now.

[@andro99991]

Falling in love with Bob Dylan was the worst career move she could make. Compared to any other songwriter of her era she is brilliant. Compared to Dylan she is kind of like a talented up and coming soccer player playing with Messi. And people will always associate her with him.

[@johnnyjensen6067]

Great to see younger singers getting together with the greats of the '60's!

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

There are very few singers who sound as good when they are old as they did when they were young, Joan is definitely one of them.

@@Marty-pants But the best by far in Van the man (Morrison) . Check him out people if you haven't.

[@Marty-pants]

@ thanks, fortunately I was born in the early 60’s and so I am aware of Van Morrison. I do like some of his songs, but personally I prefer other singers of that era. One of my favourites from the 60’s is The Animals. House of the Rising Sun is one of my first memories of hearing music on the radio as a very young boy and it has left a lasting impression.

[@calisongbird]

@@Marty-pantslet’s not get carried away. She still sounds great, for sure, but her voice is not what it was when she was young. She purposely altered notes in Diamonds and Rust, for example, to be easier on her current voice.

I first heard "Diamonds And Rust" in 1979 in Casablanca, Morocco. At this point in my life, I was a senior in high school in a small podunk town about 200 miles away from Casablanca. Besides my love for Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, and Cat Stevens, Long-Distance Running was my life. In school, my favorite class was English, and after three years of immersing myself in the language, I was somewhat good at understanding spoken English. I was a kid who did not get allowance money, or have a job but managed to save for important needs, and on this particular time, I desperately needed some good running shoes for competing, however, the clothing shops in the small town where I lived had only "Saroukh Brand", a generic plastic sneakers that stunk the minute you put them on. Not finding the right pair of competition-level shoes, I grabbed the meager savings I had and took the overnight train in the "Quatrième Classe" (the lowest economic class in the rear car of the train, with the chickens and goats) to the big city. After a few inquiries on where to find good running shoes in the largest city in Morocco, I was led to Souk Smat, a flea market of a sort in the old Medina of Casablanca. Zigzagging between the droves of people from one stall to the next, I finally hit the jackpot of the everything-abroad shop as if I stumbled on heaven. This shop specializes in imported black-market items from the US and Europe. There was running gear just like what the Track and Field stars (Lasse Viren, Frank Shorter, Henry Rono, to name a few who adorned my room walls) wore, all kinds of Levis Blue Jeans, hip sunglasses, some second-hand stuff as well, etc, in short, the coolest stuff ever for an insignificant kid from a Middle-of-Nowhere town. As I was haggling with the shopkeeper over these incredible Nike sneakers, I saw a Joan Baez album that I had never seen before with Baez in her iconic straw hat picture facing me in the corner of the tiny shop. My focus immediately shifted to "The Best Of Joan C. Baez" vinyl album, I asked the seemingly annoyed shopkeeper to play a couple of songs from the album for me before I bought it. From the minute the first song (Diamonds And Rust) started playing, I just lost it, and by the time "Prison Trilogy" song hit, I was sobbing in a trance-like fashion, not worrying about the gathered mesmerized crowd surrounding me or the shopkeeper. I will never forget that shop or that moment, it was like a freight train of emotions hit me at a vulnerable time with the most sincere words and music that only The Queen of Folk in her prime could create. I skipped the much-needed shoes, gave the shopkeeper all the money I had, and lingered on an empty stomach for hours (with my new-found treasure underarm) in the fascinating boulevards of Casablanca until the past-midnight train ride, so I could easily bunk the train for nearly 200 miles by getting off the train at almost every town and village and getting back on the last train car that the ticket inspector had just visited. Years later I eventually immigrated to the USA, officially named myself Dylan after his Bobness, and had a great family. I saw Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez many times in concerts, and my innocent youth promise, decades ago, was to meet Bob Dylan and Joan Baez in person. After many crazy attempts, I doubt that I will ever fulfill that dream of meeting Bob, but on the contrary, I have met Joan Baez in person twice; once backstage at a concert in Denver where I sang "Jari Ya Hamouda" with her, and once one evening on August 2, 1996, in the woods of Poudre Canyon in the Rocky Mountains near a small motel where she was staying during a very small outdoor concert at the Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellvue, Colorado. When we lived in Colorado Springs, My French friend Fabien LOEWENGUTH, who is also a big fan of Joan Baez, and I took the 4-hour drive with much anticipation to see Joan Baez, and after getting lost for a bit, we eventually made it in the nick of time, that concert was very low-key and just outstanding, especially being in the middle of the mountains, there were not many people, which made it fantastic for all the attendees and very intimate being very close to Joan Baez. I do not remember the songs she played, but the set was dreamy with a few songs from the Play Me Backwards album, I believe. Mid-concert, it started raining lightly and despite that, Joan insisted on playing until "it starts sparking" she said. Sure enough, the thunderous rain started sparking the electric cables, at which point the concert came to a frantic halt and everyone scattered for safety. Joan and the band ran uphill to the motel where they were staying, but the hardcore devotees huddled around hoping for a sign from Joan, however after an hour or so of relentless rain everyone left. Fabien kept insisting that we should also leave especially after the innkeeper kept pestering us and that we still had 4 hours of driving back home in severe weather conditions. I had brought a couple of Baez's books and about 40 or so sleeves from my collection of Joan Baez's official and non-official bootleg CDs with me just in case and refused to leave without at least having her autograph them. A few minutes passed when the innkeeper burst from the gate threatening to call the sheriff's office if we didn't leave immediately, I was in dismay, then sprung and lied to him that I flew in from Morocco and was not leaving unless he took Joan Baez's books and CD jackets to her, he agreed to do so, and I pulled my pen and wrote "you mean so much to the oppressed and the politically persecuted people of Morocco" and signed it "dylan" on the cover of the album that contains "Natalya Gorbanevskaya", a song about a Russian dissident who later became a close friend to Joan (I can't remember the album's title now). A long time went by and the rain had stopped, I thought, what a big mistake I made! I will never see my collection back. To my surprise, not only did I get everything back, but Joan Baez in all of her Majesty, brought them back with all humility, barefoot in a blue jeans shirt and shorts, and above all with the hugest welcoming smile that I have ever seen on Joan Baez. I was about to faint when she asked "Who is this Dylan?" Very funny I thought (Tears are rolling down my cheeks as I am typing this now). Among the things I sent with the innkeeper was a photograph of me and Joan Baez from my backstage visit with her the year prior that my wife took, so she mentioned that she remembered me well and my great singing, I told her that I had two choices to name myself, either Dylan or Gandhi, and that my wife preferred Dylan, and also that if I were a woman, I would have named myself Joan or Baez, and with a smirk, she thought that I should have gone with Gandhi. My friend Fabien joined us, and we took pictures and talked for what seemed an eternity about everything that mattered. She asked about my connection with Gandhi, about the Human Rights situation in Morocco, and was genuinely interested in us more than just as fans. It started to sprinkle again and was getting dark by now, we gave each other hugs and left, me with joy, disbelief, and part of my heart torn then and there. That was an experience of a lifetime, that only confirms my belief in Joan Baez as an incredible human being. Some months later, Joan Baez went to sing in Morocco for the first time, and I am convinced it was because of that encounter. My friends in Morocco don't believe that I had anything to do with it, of course not I assure them! Love to you Joan, and may you stay forever young.

Well, I'll be damned Here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you happened to call And here I sit Hand on the telephone Hearing a voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall As I remember your eyes Were bluer than robin's eggs My poetry was lousy you said Where are you calling from? A booth in the midwest Ten years ago I bought you some cufflinks You brought me something We both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Well, you burst on the scene Already a legend The unwashed phenomenon The original vagabond You strayed into my arms And there you stayed Temporarily lost at sea The Madonna was yours for free Yes, the girl on the half-shell Could keep you unharmed Now I see you standing With brown leaves falling all around And snow in your hair Now you're smiling out the window Of that crummy hotel Over Washington Square Our breath comes out white clouds Mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me We both could have died then and there Now you're telling me You're not nostalgic Then give me another word for it You who are so good with words And at keeping things vague 'Cause I need some of that vagueness now It's all come back too clearly Yes, I loved you dearly And if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid

If you are hearing her music here for the first time, you have a misimpession. By any standard, she is an old woman (as I am an old man) and while her guitar, bearing and phrasing is as it ever was, her voice is not. You can hear it as it was and as it deepened and grew with her music to be able to hear the artist not just as she is today but the way she embodies how a generation embodied its time. That is a time that we who lived it can never relive, even in memory and that you who came after can ever know enough to understand explicitly. But if you listen with an open heart you can feel it and then map it to your own life’s arc.

[@katiehosseini8342]

beautifully worded. I'm not from the same generation, but feel this in my own way growing up trying to explain to younger people what it was like before cell phones took over
