Musicianship.

Absolutely stunning!!!!!

[alprice5]

is that a young howard levy on piano?

[VivaOaxacaFolkArt]

@alprice5 No. It is the late Richard Bell, who toured with Judy Collins from 1969 through 1977. He also played piano on the Janis Joplin "Pearl" album.

Thank you betahifi this is perfection! Someone had uploaded and then it was taken down! Really happy you were kind enough to upload. I think this may have been a Public Broadcast concert, not quite sure! I think this is her best version, that lovely and fantastic bluesy backup. Who could ask for more! Again many thanks for this and your other gifts to us! Be Well, JSE.

GLORIOUS.  WHAT SINGING IS ABOUT. NOBODY SHOUTING AT ANYBODY...JUST POURING IT OUT!

One of the best things about this video is that it features the great harp playing of my childhood friend, Don (Bosco) Brooks out of Dallas, Texas. Played with the greats, Judy, Kris, Jerry Jeff...RIP old friend.

@duncanengler Hi I am so pleased to hear from you. Donny's playing was one of the key attractions for me when I went to a dozen or so Judy Collins concerts in the mid-1970s. Did you know that you can listen to two of those concerts from 1973 on the Wolfgangsvault website?? There is a 30-minute BBC TV broadcast of another 1973 concert where Donny is featured prominently. I would post songs here on my channel, but I worry that BBC will come after me. What did he do in more recent years?
