Joan Baez - Joe Hill & Swing Low, Sweet Chariot Woodstock

[BBnose]

i like her talking voice too

[8Ho03EdONl1liL]

Good God! What a voice!!

[MrFrozenVomit]

Amen Joan Baez.

[0neuponatime]

They cant kill Joe Hill but this government will never stop trying to. We need you Joe Hill.

[ThisWeekInFascism]

@0neuponatime We are Joe Hill. :)

[Ariennezita]

No existe voz más hermosa que la de Joan.

[HoosiersForever]

yeah ! Im so happy cause I just bought the Woodstock DVD with the full 4 DVD, I almost cried when Joan Baez sang Sweet low, Sweet chariot

[jujuman23]

PURE...

[gpoonie]

Why don't workers protest things anymore? Corporations are taking over world government everywhere. That's why our jobs are being offshored.

[yieldyieldyield]

@gpoonie I was listening to Glenn Beck the other day, he was talking about how people are too scared to act out in fear of being labeled 'violent or radical' because the masses seldomly follow radicals but I think radicalism is needed now more than ever

[imabrokenradio22]

@gpoonie The Internet and social media networks have essentially put an end for the musical need to spread messages.Everything's so immediate now that there really is no need for a musical form of protest. The times just aren't the same.

Oh, and our jobs are being offshored because of cheap labor in other countries, not because of the lack of protest of American workers.

Juste parce que ce soir sur Arte je me rends compte qu'elle n'est pas morte.C'est pas que je l'aime mais je ne peux m' empêcher de penser que des figures comme celle là manquent un tantinet non ?

[honkyxadonis]

i remember seein this wen i was younger at my dads insistence, think it changed my life

[todayalready]

the swing low sweet chariot part was just so beautiful, he voice is so uhmazing

[TheGrownUpAdult]

I watched this on DVD, and i was literally sung asleep, not in a bad way, but because it's so beautiful :)

[kingsfull666]

@TheGrownUpAdult I remember the first time I saw this on the dvd I felt like it lasted 20-30 minutes, come to find out it was only about 5 lol. It is too good for words to describe...

[mfgkw345]

i know what you mean

[gillan5]

.....

[elveblest]

Amen...

[tubbysrequiem]

noch immer so aussagekräftig wie früher

[kettlecopper]

Long live Joe Hill

[MrWaddlesgee3]

6:01 Amazing

[jokebooks]

Beautiful song. Joe Hill was a true rebel.

[binkobinks]

My music class and the other one did a reanactment of Woodstock. I sang Joe Hill. Such a beautiful song.

[FalconStkr1]

I love these 2 songs. Woodstock was great we need more people to think about peace and love

[bonitakilburn]

oh i have looked for this for years thanks so much for posting

[TheXwheeler]

AMEN!

[Republicrat74]

Joe Hill is a wonderful song....so remeniscent of the Irish ballads from the "time of troubles"....and no one does it better than Joan Baez!!

[BigDimmy73]

Please. Anybody able to add "Sweeter for Me" --- if so, thanks.

One of Joan's all-time best.

[dunjak111]

That small girl with just her guitar and her voice, in front of that quiet mass.. Always touching again..

But watch her big shadow on the stage! :)

[mero1mero]

even a soulless creature would get the chills listenin to her voice! i mean damn son!!! i wouldve gave my THIRD nut to be at Woodstock!!! i mean come on....it was THE woodstock!

[OxAeroBabixO]

woodstock was the greatest!

[mero1mero]

@OxAeroBabixO

hahaha, you mean chicks ARENT supposed to have nuts???

LOL

indeed it was. indeed it was.

[landsker]

Funny how even now, the US is in desperate need of health care reform, employment protection, and abovre all a need to rid themselves of the military indistrial complex, as it strangles peaceful lives and drains the peoples wallets.

[mikemoair]

did people pay money for this crap when they could have bought a good stones/beatles record? if the difference in getting laid and not getting laid was having to have a record of this shit, i would have stayed a virgin!!!!

[sigoya1988]

ok man, apparently u do not know a nice good folk story song when u see one. so..uh, I guess I am trying to say is, expand your hear man. Can't hurt, fella

[mikemoair]

i think if i was there i would have gone and taken a shit during her performane! she had to be the original shyrel crowe syndrome im nobody/i sold a bunch of records/im somebody/ listen to me then, who gives a fuck about husband david god almighty the self importance of it all!!!! me me me!!! where was ted nugent!!!! screaming wang dang sweet poon tang!!!! and trim that pubic hair on all that woodstock poon tang christ!!!! who wants a mouth full of hair!!!

[jcart12357]

I was one of the fortunate ones to have been there 40 years ago. I have never seen more people as mesmorized by a performance as they were for this one. I'm not sure anyone even noticed it was raining.

[jeb419]

It must have been amazing to be there and see this.  The whole place does seem to be silent and completely mesmorized.

[eni301]

What an amazing voice!!

So breathtaking.

[kolgy1]

I was 17 when Woodstock took place.I have the movie version and have watched it many times. I get goose bumps every time I watch this song by Joan Baez.I am moved by her cold breath singing Swing low Sweet Chariot. What a voice.

[maddy13bandgeek]

what a amazing yet somber voice. she was great. swing low was fantastic

[leggs33]

Joe Hill ...beautiful song....beautiful voice!

[Justinchess]

Not a great deal of self-pity there, I think. Perhaps some concern for her husband who was, after all, in jail at the time.

[m31kepler]

A fantastic voice, but I think Joan is where the phrase "just shut up and sing" began.

[wenumr]

Actually, I believe that phrase, or a close version, was said just before they shot Joe HIll. Keep singing AND talking, Joan!

[13grunt27]

Joanie sings like the angels.

[Justinchess]

It's an old folk tradition that the introduction should be longer than the song

[m31kepler]

lol, that's right! I guess I was just put off by Joan's self pity. It's harder to be a martyr that way.

[kingsfull666]

@Justinchess I've never heard that before...that's pretty cool

[Maurizio689]

It's amazing how people have been trained to believe that media commentators like Laura Ingraham are more entitled to an opinion than artists. I mean, what, really makes an opinion expressed by Bill O'Reilly better than an opinion expressed by, say, Joan Baez? Are you really implying that Ingraham, O'Reilly, etc. are more informed? Are you really saying that? Amazing.

[FolkFan71]

It's looking more like you're the one indoctrinated. How can you be so judgmental? Of course, commentators are going to comment. But, we don't have to pay for it when we go to a "music" concert.

[joejabberoni]

does this have something to do with government money saving the job of some lazy 140K a year UAW worker. Fuk this haggard bitch.

[el3m3ntsk8s]

You idiot you can't compare the labor unions of today to those of the past, like maybe when this song was written? Or else you might as well call Cesar Chavez a good for nothing son of bitch also right? Stupid.

[13grunt27]

Please don't call Joan Baez such names. Everyone should have a good union job. UAW workers are highly skilled and they work hard for the money.

[FolkFan71]

Are you there?

[worldtraveler91]

Joe Hill<333

This is lovely!

[segould]

5:41 Wow!

[gialla111]

[Pearset]
