JOAN BAEZ - Diamonds And Rust (1976)

[pontedupre007]

Possibly the most beautiful, meaningfull and delicate lyrics ever written by a USA artist/singer/writer.This one is for the ages. One hundred years from now these lyrics will be as beautiful and much appreciated by that generation as we do today.

[Taaplari]

Nothing to say actually.

1up.

[gtrrobster]

Funny thing is, as unique as this is, it is somewhat of a common chord progression. E minor, B7, G C D...like so many songs we have all heard. But how good does it sound?

[gtrrobster]

Wow!! Thank you to my guitar student Barb for asking to learn this song.

How is it I never heard it before? Too much Van HAlen in my past?

Beautiful and simple.

[1949rojo]

Nobody does it better than Joan! Clarity and purity of voice and feeling! Even today! And her hair has always been beautiful!

[Honeyfitz1125]

Her acoustical guitar playing is great. Do you comprehend how difficult it is to sing and play so perfectly at the same time? This was the best song she ever wrote...it was for for Bob Dylan. Guess after Gabe Harris she gave up. Never should have cut her hair, ever. She is matchless in our times, better in person than in the studio. With most artists, this cannot be said.

[metalangel01]

Sorry Joan, Judas Priest does it 10x's better

[186kms]

your eyes were bluer than robins' eggs…

[obtempero]

Sometime in the Sixties a mate gave me a joan baez vinyl am now over sixty and am amazed at what he gave me was an intro to a lifelong appreciation of superb talent

[stafford4641]

amazing and powerful..she is God's gift to us all.. 

[emriederekify]

A wonderful musician, songwriter, and of course at one time Bob Dylan's lover/muse...two very strong personalities where probably not meant to stay together long. What a wonderfully beautiful song resulted from the short relationship, as in many cases pain brings joy!

[abdounnour]

I'm in love from her voice since 49 years and 9 month before my birth!!!

[ThePhilosopherKing00]

i just fell i love with joan baez

[ragerpez]

wtf ive known this song from the judas priest version for the best part of 10 years and never knew it was a cover lol

[cjendret]

Sorry, talking to mthivier

[cjendret]

Thanks for your comment Vander, I thought it was just me. :)

[ballswillbebusted]

I believe I have fallen in love with this song. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Joan Baez for touching my soul through your song. You have the voice of an angel.

[BootScootinBoougie]

Such a beautiful song, such a beautiful performance, such a beautiful voice and such beautiful lyrics.Thank you Joan Baez, so lovely......

[deejan1111]

This mom still rocks!!

[DraskyVanderhoff]

Thumb Up if you know it first from Judas Priest !

[rimbaudscat]

Fantastic performance by Joan.

And yes, she loved him dearly....

[jknauff3]

Our father managed the Belleview Biltmore when Bob Dylan and the Rolling Thunder Review and Joan Baez used the resort as their base camp. This performance was likely in the Ballroom.

[sheera199]

One of my mentors. Absolutely beautiful. Women are strong, intelligent, and capable of whatever they set there mind to....while caring for those they love...

[xxcuntbluntxx]

so simple and beautiful

[mthivier]

Yes, she's a brilliant songwriter, yes, she has a once-in-lifetime voice...but I don't think Baez gets nearly enough credit for her guitar playing. Those chord progressions, which are of her own design, are extremely difficult, and I have a hard time coming up with any noted musician whose guitar style is quite llke hers.

[57mab]

@mthivier She's wonderful - she does handle the progressions w/ a nice touch. She borrows a lot of nice technique from her latin roots.

[905if6was9]

Alone. On stage with no accompaniment, and she does this. Until I saw this, I assumed Pete Townshend was God. It turns out I may have been wrong.

[CattailsandRoses]

@905if6was9 Listen to Jeff Buckley---Live at Sin-e---if you want a guitar god who sings without peer.

[wasteuk]

gorgeous.

[morsagalactica]

que grosa que sos mi cielo que poderosa MUJER

[morsagalactica]

PERO QUE HERMOSURA POR DIOS

[Skywatch01]

La gran voz de Woodstock , cada vez mas hermosa. Joan un "joven" que te admira.Roberto

[TheHammond1986]

а где Вы взяли эту запись?

выглядит иначе, чем та копия, которая повсюду.

[fubar50cat]

i wonder if there was ever a phone call, or whether Baez just wrote that. They were the couple at the time, supposedly the split was more about Dylan doing drugs than anything, but maybe the phone call is just a litterary device. Certainly, Baez has written one of the most memorable songs of all time, unforgiving and at the same time poetic, but Dylan has never responded. Wonder what he thought of it?

[nilradem]

@fubar50cat

She has said in interviews that she wrote it after he called her to play a new song, but it was several years after they broke up. She was writing a song, which was originally about something else, and the song became about him. I encourage you to read her autobiography if you want to know more.

[markandbev]

brilliant song writer...........

[Ariennezita]

Joan eres la mejor.
