JOAN BAEZ ~ The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ~.wmv

WHY WHY WHY THAT SHOT OF JOAN!!!!!!

[skiprydell1]

Joan shoze more talent the older.....

[ppetal1]

whatever happened in that studio in 71, the result was stunning. Is stunning. this is pretty good too. The licentiousness of the political left never fails to amaze me. The defences and reactions against it are even worse. Think Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Pol Pot and Patrick Sky.

The song is about the cruelty and injustice, not to mention Vainglory, of War. Buddy Holly is amazing and Pete Seeger can be hard work, on occasion. Yes, Joan is in the biz. So am I, busking on the street.

say

Saw The Band sans Robbie in 82'...the crowd in st louis requested...but they refused to perform this song...

[MrDoober1954]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[mickchick01]

Superb!!!

[Helivz]

@mickchick01 Very good maintenance after all these decades. She sounds 99% the same , just the pace is a tad bit slower. Five Star Performer / Performance!

Great Job by Joan Baez singing acapella.

[ramblingdude2008]

Shut up singing "SENIOR CITIZEN, Joan. Go to your needlework!! LOL Your insecure self evidently didn't get the play on the words "lower bowels" in my last post. That's alright. It's evident that you have not "fully arrived", if you know what I mean. BWA HA HA HA HA!! Now, you be a good little boy, and make sure that your diaper is changed, before mommy tucks you in bed!!! Ahhhhhh, so please tell us how it feels to be mentally inferior to me. Werewolves don't have much of an IQ. HA HA

[TheCburns5]

@ramblingdude2008 Who do you think are? You must be one of the most ignorant people in the world to to speak to someone like her this way. Of course, I'm sure she's not smart enough to not read your troubled opinions but dude, you seriously have problems and should mental help.

[ramblingdude2008]

@TheCburns5 (And, I quote) : " should mental help"  "Dude", I would suggest that you READ your future posts, BEFORE posting them on YouTube. It's kinda' showing that you are the "ignorant" one! Maybe, it is you that should SEEK mental help!! HA HA HA HA "Dude" you're just TOO easy!!

[jus1hppygurl]

@ramblingdude2008 what a dickhead you are !!

[Airman04061969]

@ramblingdude2008 Shut the fuck up you stupid prematurely born kid ! Joan Baez can be named anyway you want but definitely NOT racist. For God's sake, she was amongst the Woodstock protesters (whose cause I profoundly dislike, but that's MY problem) and should you find a racist amongst the Woodstock people, I'm ready to bow to your "superior" (whatever!) intelligence. Don't hold your breath until then ! Joan, please fill our hearts with joy. I may not like your causes but I like your voice.

[RamonaFromPomona]

Excellent , Didi. This is one of my favorite songs. Love Joan.

[jnmklo9]

God bless America - especially the southern states

[ramblingdude2008]

This is her worst version ever. She is getting old and she can't hold the same tempo. She's off tune throughout the song, and she needs to stop doing the song. Pitiful, really.

[baritonebynight]

@ramblingdude2008 She's singing this acapella, give her a break. Her age has nothing to do with the tempo, it was her artistic choice. I say sing on Joan!

[ramblingdude2008]

@baritonebynight

Are you kidding me? I WAS giving her a break. Sometimes, it's just better for these old singers just to give it up.... I say sing to yourself, Joan!

[ramblingdude2008]

@baritonebynight

One other thing: "Age" has a lot to do with maintaining the tempo of a song. . It's called "synaptic function". and the aging brain. Look it up, and you MAY understand why I wrote my post. Who knows? You might even learn something. lol Of course, if you're getting older, you may be losing your synaptic function. That could be the reason that made such a dumb statement, to begin with. :)

[baritonebynight]

@ramblingdude2008 More likely it was due to artistic choice. Sing on Joan and pay no attention to this special needs kid!

[ramblingdude2008]

@baritonebynight You really need to quit talking about yourself, being a special needs kid and all. JOAN, sing to yourself, and  PLEASE quit killing this song, with this rendition..

[baritonebynight]

@ramblingdude2008 Keep on singing Joan. Your instrument is lovely after all these years. This "dude" is probably locked in a padded cell and eating his own feces which clouds his judgement about quality music and that's why he is lashing out. That accounts for his bad taste and nasty temperament.

[ramblingdude2008]

@baritonebynight Keep on singing to YOURSELF, Joan. Spare us the misery of listening to this rendition. Now I know the reason that you call yourself "baritonebynight": That's cuz you go to sleep, at night, DREAMING that you can sing. If you are "baritoneatnight", then you are definitely" tonedeafatdaybreak". Maybe, you should change your name to that.... BWA HA HA HA HA HA

[baritonebynight]

@ramblingdude2008 Stop eating your feces child, that's what you have to do first to get that bad taste out of your system.

[ramblingdude2008]

@baritonebynight AHHHH, poor boy..... I guess that I hurt you wittle bitty feelings with my last post. BWA HA HA HA HA You seem to have some fascination for "feces" Could it be that you are "FULL OF IT" (feces, that is) ! Or, could it be that you are a bullsh*tter, full time!! Of course, it could be BOTH!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Now, JOAN, PLEASE quit the wailing; you're killin' me here!! LOL

[baritonebynight]

@ramblingdude2008 Sing on Joan. I figured that the unhuman noise that you were making was trying to choak down your poop..which explains your poor taste period.

[ramblingdude2008]

@baritonebynight As mentioned earlier, shut up with the wailing, Joan!!! LOL I can tell that you are feeling a little intimidated with my superior knowledge. Don't worry, because your place in the lower bowels of society is the reason. Also, that " unhuman noise" you heard wasn't me. Actually, your werewolf self was making that "unhuman noise." . BWA HA HA HA HA!!!  NOW, I know why you are "baritonebynight". You are HOWLING at the moon-" by night", of course t!!! HA HA HA HA

[baritonebynight]

@ramblingdude2008 Sing on Joan! What made me think of feces? That's easy...you do! You are but a child, and sometimes insecure children like you want to take on and try to tear down great artists like Joan when you yourself are nobody and will remain nobody. With age and experience, most people learn...but I doubt if you will...the feces that you keep eating have poisoned you to do nothing but spew crap.

[bobo7813]

It's a sad state of afairs when I see posts declaring that this song is "racist"

Apparently many ignorant people feel that since the "N" word has lost it's power, they need a new "R" word is necessary to further their radical views>

Sorry state of affairs!!!!!!!

[dreamcatcher2398]

@bobo7813 Racist? Really?? I've taught history for many years and it's the same sad state I've been lecturing about: learn your history. The "ordinary" Southerner suffered so after the War, listen to what Ms. Baez is singing. The people of the South had nothing, really nothing but the earth they stood on, and for most of them it WAS simply that plot and, maybe, a tiny bit of pride in their heritage which, for the great majority, didn't include slaves, just a family heritage.

[yrbam3]

@dreamcatcher2398

Good call bobo7813, Good Call

[yrbam3]

@dreamcatcher2398

Well put, dreamcatcher

[hellgate67]

I remember when Joan Baez first sang this on the radio years ago. Today I listen with a heavy heart. The last post for this video is from March 2010. Since then the South is facing a severe economic situation. I have many relatives and friends down South. God be with them all. God only knows what is next.

[krysant50]
