Makes me sad to see this. A great time period will end when these people leave the planet. We need some to replace them. We need a LOT more than Angelina Jolie adopting kids and speaking out once in a great while. We need a champion like Joan Baez....for this time period.

I'm sorry for those seven who gave a thumbs down to this video, they obviously are missing some senses. 2 awesome talents.

I've got two tickets to see Judy Collins in the Spiegeltent in Melbourne Australia, come March 2012.

My daughter had never even heard of her so she is in for something really special.

@Orblingz: Not much of a duet. Collins is clearly in the lead now. She still has a great voice and plays guitar with vigor. Baez is pretty much over. I loved Baez but these are the facts. Collins also has kept up with her appearance whereas Baez looks exhausted. Nothing wrong with a little plastic surgery. I think Baez got it after this. I saw her at the Oscars recently and she looks years younger since this video.

I just went to listen to this Joan Baez song and thought, that would suit Judy Collins' voice so well, and lo and behold, there's a duet...

Gives me goosebumps

@exenrontexas My basis for that comment was having attened Newport several times and other festivals.

@apcesq Perhaps although I have seen so many cellphone camera used that they are obvious. The promoted doesn't care since the quality is so crappy that they will never be sold. I suspect that most artists DO care since it make them look bad. These two are at an age and there whole careers were made for different purposes. Back to video technique. I have seen bean backs and small monopods used to stabiize cameras to avoid the herky jerky effect.

@exenrontexas If one were to openly display a camera or recording device at any festival like this, that person would get the bum's rush by security. Discreet cell phone video is about as much as can be expected.

@ddviolinist There are many in the music and movie industry. Sean Penn, Bono. Join them in their humanitarian efforts. Also Michael Reynolds, an architect. See him on you tube/Garbage Warrior.

@twentyyearsafter Funnily (or possibly sadly), when Dylan mentioned the song to her, she told him it was about David Harris.

[twentyyearsafter]

@bowedmyhead Actually there is an answer to this question, at least in part: Dylan declared he love the song and the fact he was the subject; he completed that the memories about those times still presses him (the movie "Joan Baez: How Sweet the Sound").
