Thanks to everyone who has posted kind comments about this. I don't have any more of Joan from the concert, sadly, the TV show was just one song per artist. I could do you some Swiss guys playing cow-bells ;-)

As for the Olympic connection, pure coincidence: I just bought a PC connector for my video recorder!

A good point, though.

许多西方人要中国民主，一些人是真正的民权斗士，但大部分确实想­从混乱中牟利的政客，joan baez 一个真正值得我们尊敬的民权者，一个永不陨落的巨星，中国人感谢­你

What a beautiful person and amazing talent is Joan Baez. I only wish that she had been more vocal when America was entering the war in Iraq...we needed her voice and her common sense then too. Love Live Joan Baez!

China WILL be the ONLY superpower, and the Emperial Dragon of the East has no doubt to whom this Earth and all it's resources belong.

I not a native English speaker, so I can't hear each word clear. Can someone post the lyric out ?

Thanks to Joan for a clear picture of China growing, going strong.... Enduring hardship under own rule is better than suppressed by outsiders. To help others we first get up... By ourselves. Our body, our country is best governed by ourselves. And China is doing all it can to achieve its goal.

Thanks again Joan, for this song.

makes me more determined that the people in China will win one day

The last verse brought tears to my eyes.

touching how foreigners care about China.

Thank you for this lovely video!

Great song in the reportage style of Woody Guthrie, sung by a woman who has every right to. Just a pity the filming is so poor

And take a listen to her comments on her live FROM EVERY STAGE album from 1976 where, in her introduction to a song about dissident Natalia Gorbanevskaya, she strongly criticizes the Soviet Union on their atrocious human rights record. She has been equally critical of both right *and* left wing abuses.
