[TheBestLoser001]

I like this version a little better than the one on the album. But I still love the music he plays. :D

[QueenetBowie]

@TheBestLoser001 ME TOO! I want this version for my ipod

[ThePooppantsman]

god he soooo ugly.

[MrBirchmoor33]

Before all the overdubs,electronic wizardry,multi tracking.xfactor; big stages,there was once pure unamplfied raw talent.Fabulous Donovan.Some of todays artistes are this capable,Justin Hayward,Michael Stipe,Neil Young,Neil Finn,they are true talent,because they can all recreate the recorded sound wthout studio techniques,on their own merit as true artistes

[ChickbabeC1]

This song is awesome because of its name is the same is mine! Celeste's rock!!

[celestesaurus]

Not many songs with my name in them, but when there are...

[umraan]

how could anyone dislike this video? it's near perfect :(

[DocWyoming]

this is the best song ever.

[wortundfreiheit]

great version but i prefer the one from "sunshine superman" with all the strings that make it even more amazing!

[Larosa77]

so ahead of his time, its amazing

[BeAtLeSRuLe96]

@WobblyRoo

Sounds like ur the one who needs the acid . U need to lay off the society and open your mind a litttle man . Love and peace to you hoping you someday find true talent and beuty

[zephyrquartz]

He will be playing this at London's Royal Albert Hall on June 3rd, 2011. This was for Linda, no doubt!

[IglePigleLovesDisco]

Brilliant.

The Gordon Wiseman cover is also good.

[celestethecheetah]

My name is Celeste and I love this song

[101howrseluver]

My anme is Celeste!!! OMG!!



[OverYonderBlues]

Great song - learning this atm on my orange sunburst Gibson J-45 and man what a sound!!!!

[dubrubru]

ay dios qué hermosura....

[ThomasASwilling]

In his Anaheim concert in 1967, he did an acoustic version of Celeste that was his best rendition. I learned to play it in that style, which was different from other recordings of the song. At the Anaheim concert, he finally found the right arrangement and timing that emphasized and gave more meaning and mood to the song. If you haven't heard the Anaheim concert album, I urge you to buy it. It's still available (on CD this time 'round) through Amazon, etc.

[cmg1960]

My name is Celeste, I was told about this song a long time ago it's really a treat to find it.

[CelesteAlana1997]

myname is celeste(:

[blizzancque]

and when if this performance couldn't get any better -- gulls and waves

[SublimeTrash77]

2 people are deaf

[TheSwaggaGurls]

My name is celeste!!! :)

[justcelestey]

Yet another Celeste among the rest...

[reddorothy]

One of my middle names (I have 2) is Celeste; after my bonny blue ein. ;)

So, so pretty this song...

[TheDiscoBatman]

this song right here (right here) is pretty gnarly. By far better than sars. It's up there with happymeals and the cool side of the pillow. I might even go so far as to say that this song has improved my life to the same degree that the game dominos did. what i mean to say is that i would marry a VCR of this performance if i could and then i'd consummate the shit out of that matrimony

[zephyrquartz]

Too beautiful to even describe. A perfect picture of youth and everyone's desire for love.

[picayune82]

You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[DA53562]

Tunings are too complicated for me, I just play it in regular tuning. C-F-C-Em-F-Fm-C-G-Em-F-Fm-C-G-­Em-F-C-G-C, Then fiddle around with the C and F. Try it, let me know what you think. Hope Donovan will approve, enjoy!

[mooseontheloose]

4th chord is E major :o)

[johnpaulfan]

chords?

[johnpaulfan]

You say 50Cent-I Say The Beatles

You say Miley Cyrus-I say Led Zeppelin

You say T-Pain-I say The Who

You say Flowers-I say aerosmith

You say Pink-I say Eric clapton

You say Hip Hop-i say Jimi Hendrix

You say R&B-I scream Classic Rock

You say hanah montana-i hit you in the face

70% of teenagers have turned to Hip Hop and Rap.If you are? part of the 30% that still listen to real music,copy and paste this message to another 5 videos

DON'T LET THE SPIRIT OF CLASSIC ROCK DIE!!!

[av82y]

@johnpaulfan

bunch of bullshit. it's never about style or genre - it's always about being true and having something real to say. Public Enemy, RZA, Mos Def, Roots Manuva - they're all more rock than, say, Nazareth ever was.

i agree that Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix are the best though :)

[Angelus981]

Really beautiful song. Did he really burp??

[NightGallery]

@Angelus981 He is sitting by a jetty on the shoreline. I think it is just the sound of water moving between the rocks.

[Drojnan]

this song is being beautiful just for us

[DA53562]

I haved love this song for over 40 years, and one day I "found" in on my guitar in standard tuning. I probably play it a few times every day, along with "Sand and Foam." Awesome to hear that He palys it like I do. Thanks so much for putting this on. Old folkies never die.....

[NightGallery]

@DA53562 What chords? This does not sound like standard tuning. It sounds Lower than concert E. Maybe D.

[mooseontheloose]

@NightGallery It's standard but tuned down half a step

[bailey1067]

Probably Donovan's best/underrated song.

[trixilim]

I love this song's studio version, yet I loved this sorta 'accoustic', too. Thx for sharing.

[QueenetBowie]

"The next number is called Celeste...which is just a pretty girl's name."

[NightGallery]

This song is unbelievably beautiful. Does anybody know what guitar tuning he's using?

[mobyboy]

Real Poet !

[beefheart67]

yeah don is the man he was one of my favorites growing up

[beaubeau3000]

He Burps! 2:23mins, the guitar solo. Love you Donovan.

[monalisisima]

bakan

[XxBeatlesforeverxX]

I want Donovan.

[GeekG]

that is the best i have heard of donovan for a long time.. i mean stuff i didn't new already..

great song and ryhthm

[fagjupitor]

Intelligent, very unique, a poet who sings about love and truth, he is my hero and favorite artist of all time, such a beautiful man!

[9erfandex]

GarryLoc thanks to you and You Tube I was afforded the opportunity to view and listen to this rendition and Scott Mc Kenzie's within moments of one another, simply amazing grace! It is truly difficult to favor one more than the other, one leans to Scott on the merit of his beautiful vocal skill, but Donovan after all was responsible for the composition of one of the most criminally overlooked love songs ever! An interesting dilemna worthy of debate, better still just enjoy them both and R O S !!

[bloomindoomin]

oh my god this is so beautiful

[djboony]

hes a real melodysmith

[zephyrquartz]

Donovan is and has always been the best. Kind too. Love him.

[psycho666rebel]

love donovan. such a great musician

[cele657]

my name is celeste and my brothers name is donovan lol!

[SpasticSeamonkey]

You've got the best family ever, cele657. Lol.

[munozram]

That's pretty cool! :-)

[TheOtherHalfToYours]

@cele657 Funny! My name is Celeste too. This is a classic song. 

[skippyd89]

@cele657 Maybe you should ask your parents if there is a connection.

[cele657]

@skippyd89 :D (OMG i just realized i have 30 thumbs up coolz!!!!!!!)

[myrabbitrules]

@cele657 now you know why ;)

[cele657]

@myrabbitrules :D

[RosyMe180]

If anyone would show a link or something to where I can download this, I would be SO thankful!!!!!!

[aabacchi]

I love this song specially by Scott McKenzie, but with Donovan is also wonderful.

[sixtiessyl]

what a beautiful performance, thanks so much for this!

[willyoubemycanary]

amazingness. i covered this song last year, being the first of his songs i thought to adapt since it rang true to me on a spiritual level.

"in my crystal halls, a feather falls, being beautiful just for you..."

[cruzman3608]

beautiful

[jimbo1231]

Great guitar song. Been playing it for nearly 40 years. Sunshine Superman a brilliant, underrated record. Dawn crept in unseen....

[bleufairy1]

My name is Celeste and I never knew this song exsisted until today...I love it and ty for sharing it.

[yaycelesteyay]

i love this song too but at 2:25 it looks like he burps haha

[juanjosebv]

great song

[AllyRaeJ]

Donovan Leitch has my heart.

I love all his work, but when its just him the guitar, thats when its the best.

[Minute2Dawn]

His chords are always so beautiful, in a strangely alluring way.

[waxwall]

Great to hear this song with just guitar.

Beautiful song!

[catchthewind1993]

I love this acoustic rendition of this song... it's so melodic and beautiful... please tell me there is an mp3 somewhere out there in the vast internet of this amazing acoustic version... :)

[GarryLoc]

You must check out Donovan's live album called "Donovan in Concert".There is acousic version.

[catchthewind1993]

Thanks!

[rtyjay21]

@GarryLoc Great album, bought it 6 months ago n it hasnt left my record player since.

[SEPS26]

@GarryLoc oh my god I had to get rid of my albums when I move, for the first time in 56 years, and this is the album that I miss the most...I was 16 yrs old and it was my heart...anne marie

[umraan]

@GarryLoc yeaaaahh but not good as this one. this is so pure.

[GoldenGhettoFilms]

@catchthewind1993 Type in google, 'youtube to mp3'. a site will come up and prompt you for a youtube URL. put the URL of this video in the box, and it will convert the video to an mp3. this is no joke. this is how i get lots of my music. you don't have to believe me.

[goodbyetoby]

@catchthewind1993 download a youtube recorder you can record any music from youtube :)

[westendorf]

Thanks so much for posting. This was the last song my brother played before he passed away suddenly of a heart attack. Obviously, this song will forever touch me greatly.

[hmsdonovan]

most beautiful version of this song ever.

[MrBertstown]

Agree. No overdubs, no 'what instrument is that ?', just Donovan and his guitar. Is there a version of this on album? (The acoustic version only.)
