Joan Armatrading - Love and Affection - Glastonbury HD

[@jongerrie5536]

07/04/23, I'm having a quiet drink with my headphones on listening to this. I have a lump in my throat and I'm trying to hold the tears of joy and appreciation at bay, people may think I'm sad, or mad, or both. This sing lifts my spirits

[@jimipearson7746]

10/03/24, doing the exact same thing. May your spirits continue to be lifted my friend

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

Trust me, I get it. Have loved her since college and heard this song for the first time in 1976, which is the year it came out in the United States. Been a fan of Joan ever since.

[@Thomas_Paine2U_fascinista]

@@JamesHarris-hl2bm Me too, day one fan - sixties noow and wow she renews my faith in this crazy world 6-22-2024

[@williamkofi6590]

Your not sad at all …I get the same feelings also ❤❤

[@transcubadam]

This amazing artist never got the kind of recognition that she deserved...

[@djfranticgu]

I was brought up with her from my parents and i genuinly dont understand how she isnt recognised as was of the best female artist is soul/rock ever, she has literally ALWAYS been incredible, and those tones she brought out in the 70's/80/s oh my god, im taken every time, nearly to tears sometimes and im barely a soft dude lol

[@SkeeterNYC]

Like Tim Buckly, Nick Drake, Nico, and Laura Nyro before her.

[@ClintScottFischer]

I respect your opinion, I understand where it's coming from, but it's not accurate. Look at the catalogue, the videos, the fans.

[@unterwant]

love to listen and to see her singing and playing danced to her music years ago she has got much recognition (from me)

[@arcticwanderer2000]

@@cedricbiyela2831 No, look at at the star status of so many black female singers in blues, soul, R&B, pop etc...The issue is probably her music didn't fit into a genre that would have put her on the charts.

[@paulputnam8211]

I'm 70. I've been there & got many T shirts but this song, especially this extraordinary live version, reduces me to tears - evey time. And I'm not afraid to admit it.

[@danieltempleton7995]

Yep. Learned of this ladies music in carolina. Bless that DJ's heart!

[@DavidTxxxx]

Me too Paul, me too.

[@wireless6]

@@DavidTxxxx And me.

[@PaulPhelps-hz5nj]

Me too 74young

[@cesirwin1973]

Never got the t shirt but resonates over the years, that it was special to young love

[@mmss5152]

The voice has not changed in 45yrs, she has really stayed away from musician's troubles

[@doctoronthego]

How is that possible? But , yes it's true

[@anyakimlin6702]

it has changed but because she's such an amazing musician she's tweaked the song to fit her voice and its changes. In some ways I think the age in her voice suits her songs better now than it did in 1976.

[@edmundsishange3608]

It has changed but not much

[@gillianomotoso328]

Her voice has changed considerably actually. In the 70s it was a higher mezzo voice, but in the 21st century it is solidly a contralto. This is actually the same key as she performed it in ‘75 and on: E major. But she has adapted it to fit her voice more and she has worked her voice around to ease through these passages, as her voice most fiercely and easily allows now. It’s a beautiful thing.

[@elijahskhosana872]

True

[@wernerheusser9556]

After all these years? Wow Mrs. Armatrating You still have the edge! Respect!

[@mooneymooney1565]

I can't believe I'm a 52 year old man and this song creases me up so much i cry everytime I listen to it

[@MrSkonny]

This amazing song carries everyone's emotions back to a happier time. I used to pick my girlfriend up from work, and one dark cold rainy Liverpool night as I was driving home with her this was playing on the radio. Every time I hear it I'm back in that car with Cathy beside me. Oh how I wish time could stand still and I could hug her again. I'm still hopeful that one day I'll see her and we can catch up over a coffee. The sax solo gets me every time. Such a great song that takes me back to a happy 'in love' feeling. Thank you Joan Armatrading xxx.

[@williammccabe7340]

My dad played in a band

[@Volantirossearebackintown]

You see skonny it was 84 and we lived in London we used to make love listening to this song since than I still dream of her and I know that before I'll die I have to see her once again and than go

[@originalfoxylady4520]

Heart-warming story. I can empathize.

[@steveparadise3710]

Great story….if only.

[@Doves96]

Good story Skonny... I have a feeling your gonna to see Cathy again for that hug one day :) x

[@MisterstereoOso]

Wow I’m in tears, what a blessing, Joan, Phoebe Snow, Rikki Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell,.....showing my age I know 🤠🍻

[@fmpirsch]

It doesn’t show age. It shows good taste!

[@JamesHarris-hl2bm]

AGREED and I'm showing mine too and proud of it. Yes, Phoebe, Rikki, Joni, Joan, Suzanne Vega belongs there as well, and of course, anyone else I left out.

[@mmckenz89]

I got lost down a rabbit hole last night and found this WONDERFUL WOMAN. I feel so late. I have this on repeat

[@TheMurraymason]

To Joan, with love and affection.

[@gravydavy4188]

I noticed that a lot of people in the crowd were crying, or trying not to. I'm sitting here sobbing. I've not had it good lately and this song has brought it out. EDIT..the only woman I have ever loved came back to me after 24 years away and is going to marry me again, we couldn't be any happier. ❤ Hold on to your dreams. Thanks for the likes and comments. 😊

I'm sat at home watching it, with a lump in my throat, just because of how amazingly perfect it is.... Hope you're doing much better now

[@nealbaker7991]

The applause blows me away. Shows a helluva lot of love and affection.

[@ABSIMPLYFAB]

Joan is just off the charts original. Original is really the true test of art. In addition, it still feels fresh all this time later. Extraordinary talent liek this commands respect.

[@tonyosullivan7201]

Love this lady, beautiful music and lyrics. She has a beautiful soul

[@brendaleake]

I never even heard of Joan until a few days ago on an old episode of SNL. Very glad I discovered her!

[@LeoRousseau]

She's way under the radar for some reason, unfortunately... She's a very talented musician... ♥️🇺🇦🇺🇸👊

[@georgefoster8133]

I love how much the crowd were involved. Great clip.

How bloody amazing is Joan Armatrading??

[@mariamonte5354]

This woman is the BEST OF THE BEST She should have been more famous than any female artist There is no one that could compare to her No Brittany spears No Beyoncé No Taylor swift No Joan is just beyond perfection She should have been bigger She never got the world wide fans she deserved She is the GREATEST singer songwriter guitarist that ever existed TY Joan I loved you from a teenager to now in my 60s

[@comprehensiveboy]

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, do a dance or just rip my clothes off and jump in the lake but whatever I do it was because of her music and its power to make me glad to be alive. Thanks Joan you talented devil :)

[@BrianR.]

She still has it after all these years...

[@DubMistress]

Sheer Brilliance 32 yrs after this song was released! Thank you Joan!

[@lowprofingers]

i really admire, and am inspired by the older generations connection to music. they always seem so much more lost in the moment, no phones or any distractions, just complete immersion in whats happening right before them. eyes closed, hands up just.. being there. shoutouts to the baby boomers

[@carolarmstrong9484]

Robert you beautiful soul ❤️

[@JonathanShayfer]

It saddens me when the younger generation display a sea of phones and don't live in the moment. I remember amazing gigs from 40 years ago and still embrace the mesmerising uniqueness of a live performance.

[@colekatt4982]

The crowd gave her so much love ❤

[@mrpinks33]

She still has full vocal range. Definitely my favourite song by her. And her classic 12 string guitar! thanks for posting

[@robgreen3190]

I just watched her Top of the Pops 1976 rendition of the same song - in all those years her voice hasn't aged a day. Just beautiful.

[@Cabronosidad]

Magnificent, especially after having just watched her performing it in 1976, a shy little thing with the voice of an angel, which just got richer over time. And that 12-string kicks ass.

[@lottejirasek4444]

i think we where at the same consert. I was 13 on a schooltrip to London from Norway.

[@angelasmith5351]

In the audience I see grey haired people, pre-teens, and every age in between. They all have a look of rapture as they appreciate this beautiful talent.😍😍😍😍💖

[@emilymanthotolesenyeho567]

This is what we call music

[@AnotherMusicLover2]

I see her, mid-April, in Albany, NY. I'm thrilled. It's been a dream for almost 4 decades. Finally, coming true.

[@desalphasierra]

Worth the wait?

[@chais1111]

I've discovered this woman through my English wife years ago and never looked back. The quality and soul level of her music is amazing. You can't mass produce this, it's there or it's not.
