[manualegrecoantico]

Wow, this is one of the best covers I've ever heard!

[loflof]

@manualegrecoantico Gee, thanks mate! Thanks for subbing, also :)

[ingerannasanga]

What a lovely version of this great song!

[loflof]

@ingerannasanga Glad you like it! Thanks for writing!

[MrMillysworld]

A diamond performance.  Thank you.

[loflof]

@MrMillysworld What a nice way to put it. Thanks for your comment!

[SonoVox100]

Dude. That was outstanding. Seriously.

[loflof]

@SonoVox100 Thanks, vox! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Voodoochil111111]

Great job on this. Being a fellow fingerpicker, I especially enjoyed the intro. That ascending little line right at the end of the intro is not easy. You also have a perfect voice for this song. Celtic/folkish. Just awesome.

[loflof]

@Voodoochil111111 It's really not that difficult to play – give it a try! You can find TABs online. Thanks for writing, I appreciate it very much! Keep it up, Flo

[jimbeaux70427]

@jimbeaux70427 Whatever that means – I'm gonna take it as a compliment :)

[lillyintheplains]

Tolle Gitarre und Stimme. Hätte nie gedacht, dass Mann dieses "Frauenlied" auch so sinnlich rüberbringen kann. Weiter so.

liebe Grüße aus Regensburg

[smalluniverse88]

[MandingoXstyle]

gz man

[David95928]

Truly outstanding! You make it yours yet honor the original.

[artbudguy]

Tremendouly beautiful cover.

I heard Joan Baez sing this live on her concert tour in 1975.

Your version is the most elegant I have heard in 35 years. Marvelous!!

[Anammc92]

Great cover

[scottiechris]

I've got this on my favorites list and I play it fairly often. I't's like that line from the Joni Mitchell song "its just you up there getting them to feel that way". Great song, and Flo's performance gets me to feel "that way".

[ilhanoguzyazici]

SUPERR.. FROM TURKIYE.. :)

[ajloder10]

Incredible job! I love the sound of your guitar! Also, you kind of look like Jack Johnson!

[rehberakin]

this is the best cover I listened!!! Great job man

[Baez971]

Waow! man I heard many people trying their best to perform this song but you did it! This is the first time I can say so! You did it!

[HipHoff]

[Steelrigg]

[jonofoz]

Your voice is amazing. I hope Joan has seen this video!

[cristofori888]

I love your voice and your guitar playing. They're both absolutely beautiful!!!

[yoputito]

Well done! Needless to say that the palying and the voice are great, the most important thing is that you have made yours a legendary song no matter how many monsters have done it before. Keep on doing this kind of stuff!

[littleattic]

[loflof]

Basel! Nice place. Might be there every once in a while soon =)

Cheers from Berlin! Flo

[haoaekai]

Flo

Flo

[weslyjames]

Great stuff, hell of a job!

[felizia21]

sehr schön... find deine stimme absolut toll

[loflof]

Guys and girls,

every once in a while I need to thank you so much for all these warm words. I'm enjoying every single one of them at least twice.

Have fun on youtube and keep encouraging others,

Flo

[vakist]

The subtle changes from the original gave this a breath of fresh air! Great Folk singing and playing.

[MiroLovei]

you have a very smooth voice.

it's beauitufl.

[Guardiola075]

Very very good!!! Thank you! André, Poitiers, France.

[JohnPW22]

If you ever gig near Berlin, esp. Leipzig, I'd like to know - my brother lives there... and it would be a great excuse to come over!!!!!!! Love the vocal depth and smoothness.... and guitar work, fantastic!

[dominiquedv]

Die Gitarrenbegleitung zu diesem Lied ist auch außerordenlich, und was wundervoll ist, ist das viele sich bemühen, den JoanBaez's Picking zu tun. Ich höre bei Ihnen besonders das Hammering-On Pulling-Off des G-Akkordes in der Mitte des Verses, genauso wie ich es auch spiele.

[dominiquedv]

Selten dieses Lied von einer männlichen Stimme zu singen.. Aber Sie machen es gut, es ist eines der besten Lieder, das je geschrieben wurde!

[garyjknight]

It is a tirbute to this wonderful song how many people want to have a go at covering it - you did a great job man.

[BrianosKellicos]

I'll take this version over ANY other version of this song. This is my favorite. Amazing

[RanjuDeutschland]

brilliant......this is just awesome what you did.... which part of germany r you from?

[loflof]

Hey Ranju,

thanks for your comment! Happy you liked what I did =)

I am from Karlsruhe, that's in the Southwest of Germany; but I'm living in Berlin now.

Cheers,

Flo

[benharpette]

very beautiful...very beautiful...

[Piratetude]

Dude, you made this song your own! You'll have Joan B. waiting tables in New Jersey. How did you learn the picking pattern? I'd love to be able to do that, but can't find anything that shows how it's done. If anyone out there can give me some direction on how to get that picking pattern, I would love them forever. Thanks

[INK58]

Good job! First time I heard a guy sing it, and I don't know what your accent is (German or Dutch?), but it adds to the tone of the song beautifully. Loved it.

[loflof]

Hey Ink,

that's a very nice thing to say, thank you. I'm german, but I also speak a bit of dutch ... :)

Have fun,

Flo

[plankroad2003]

Holy Mother of God Dude! That is absolutely wonderful.

[ChristophMC]

Respekt, haste echt gut gemacht!

Gefällt mir super.

[biblestories]

Thank you for sharing your talent. I have listened to this beautiful song for 30+ years and your method of expression rates a top ten.

[jindapan]

OMG, you are good. I hate to day it, but it sounds better than the original. Keep it up, man, you are so good.

[rapture18]

just listened to it again...mate, you sound as sublime and emotive as joan did...it is perfect man..

[rapture18]

that was just awsome man...joan baez would be honoured i think to here you sing that song so true and well. i love this song and learning it on guitar. into the favourites you go dude.....just real nice singing and playing..

[minikittenqueen]

wow, that was just beautiful! this is my favorite song and you sang it perfectly x

[lboiv001]

What camcorder are you using and are you using an external mic/mixer/phantom power? Are you using dry guitar or an acoustic amp?

[loflof]

Hay ibolvd001!

I'm using a built--in iSight and an Edirol UA-25, the guitar is dry. Hope this helps ... cheers, Flo.

[supertubos11]

wow, find ich richtig gut jack! :-) schau ma bei mir rein!

[hobiegary]

Beautiful!

[jkilcull]

great voice...

[Cuervinoy]

Great, very well done! I think it's better than the original one!

[ramoneees]

really good! You are so sweet!

[joelafrite1]

Great job ! It's wonderful.

[peteragain]

Baez is untouchable, but this version is a version in its own right, nice to hear it done by a man, after the Priest cover. Very well done, keep it up.

[Mikeart978]

Great job!!!!!

[WrathofWar]

Dare I say....better than the original, better than the Judas Priest version...just my opinion though. Extremely well done.

[Swedishgirrl]

Very well done. I enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing it.

Please check out my vids...I play guitar and sing too. 5 stars!

[loflof]

Gee!

Guys, girls, thanks you very much for all these sweet responses. Marriage with wondercat will be announced here ;)

Merry christmas and all that stuff,

see you soon,

Flo

[HiiriLiisa]

Omg that's sexy! ;) And very nicely played & sung. Wow!

[ethewondercat]

Oh my effin god!!! Will you marry me???!!! Diamonds and Rust has been my fave song for 20 years have never heard it done so amazingly well. It's the most beautiful guitar piece, and you have truly mastered it. Your voice is perfect, very gently emotive and true to the original intended mood. I am just awestruck. There are quite a few covers of this, but where others did ok, you have left me very touched and moved by your music. I just want to stalk you like Hector from Blades of Glory!!!

[lolagu73]

balsam für die seele

[StephenVoith]

definitely better than ave.!

[thinge27]

WOW, what a suberb guitar playing. Absolute great voice and nice music changes on the end of the song. Your basnotes changes are absolute first class. I wish i could find the right tabs for this song like you play it. So pitty that i could not see your fretboard while playing. But, this is absolute the best cover i have seen on youtube for this great JB song.

[saltgreen]

Great version of a great song.  Superb guitar playing! Your voice is very good reminds me of Donovan! Thanks.

[honkdel]

well done, man ...

playing and singing as well

[tuskaiae]

Cool!!! Nice :-) 5 stars from me to you my friend!! Take Care

[habuw]

Supergut! Ich wusste gar nicht, dass Du Gitarre spielst und singst.

[Rastalove00]

wow I love it, wish I could play guitar that well :D

[wthight123]

really really nicely done. this is a hard song for a man to pull off, and you do it really well.

[loflof]

Wow. These are quick and charming responses. Thank you guys!

Yours,

Judy Collins ;)

[SigugudPui]

That was wonderful ! An excellent cover of Joan's beautiful song. Your guitar playing, voice, style...you've got it all going for you, friend.

-Al

[taddyd1]

My favorite of all the D&R covers. Melodic variations very nice, like Judy Collins might do. Sexy but sweet voice. The bridge sounds like Donovan.
