Baez, Joan - London Lyrics

Joan Baez, is the world’s concience, she has throughout her life battled injustice, bigotry, she is the true Social Activist. Plus her voice, that of an angel, was given to her by God. She has used her wonderful talent for the pleasure of millions. I have been in love since 1965, along with legions of other guys.
She should have shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Bob Dylan.

I could hear from the cradle.

You poisoned the images with your add ....

edingburgh I never heard of that place I must go there sometime.

I was there with some friends and when she coughed my pal Lizzy MacDogall gave her a lozenge which she happily accepted...It worked a bit. She was really relaxed and friendly ...and what a voice. #iwasayoungmanbackinthe1960s

Lizzy Macdougall... that is. 🙂🌈

One of the most beautiful voices in the world.

In perfect voice here even though she was coughing. Her best ALL MY TRIALS ever.

She looks like the Virgin Mary ♥

I encountered her singing in 1964, that was my first year at university and I heard her voice late at night and was captivated - she has been a large part of my life.

It's not that I especially like this kind of music. But it just goes straight into the heart.

1968 I was 17 years old. My best friend and I went to the Joan Baez concert in Tempe Arizona it was on the University campus. This is one concert that I'll never forget because it was so telling and true. I am now 68 years old and her voice is ingrained in my memory. I had a red Volkswagen need I say more. Joan Baez incredible voice will always be there for us to listen to. As the years went by I. have heard different interpretations of the various songs she sang at the concert. But no one could sing it like her. All she needs is a guitar and the rest is gravy. Thank you for posting and for all your sincere comments Etc. When my daughter was 12 years old she heard Joan Baez sing Diamonds and rust. Just like me to my daughter music is like breathing. She would sing all these different songs she had a beautiful voice. Just like me. My daughter passed away at the age of 31 due to an autoimmune disease. She died peacefully after being in the ICU at the Mayo Hospital in Phoenix Arizona. For 13 days. Just like Joan Baez my daughter's voice is ingrained in my mind I have those beautiful memories that no one can take away from me. Sincerely Arnold & Linda Amaral my daughter's name was Danielle Kasper her husband Wayne is a beautiful man in body and soul. Thank you. May you always be Forever Young . 🌿💛🌏🌍🌎

The expressions on her face are priceless! Be them funny or grave... I am in love again, after all these years... And this rendition of "the death of Hattie Carrol" My my my!.... Sir or Ma'am sterh86, be blessed! For real!! Ten times!

SHE MUST HAVE DONE THIS WHILE SHE WAS HERE WITH DYLAN

No her own very successful follow up UK tour several months later.

Nie hat jemand mehr Gefühl in seine Stimme gelegt als diese Frau...

When I met her I was 16 and she was 36 years old. It was at a concert in Alicante, Spain. I had just bought an album from her, Farewell, Angelina. Since then I am in love with her. Every time I watch a video of her or listen to her voice I get excited. I will never forgive you for living so far away from me, I will never forgive you for being 20 years older than me, I will never forgive you for not crossing my street, I will never forgive you for not being able to smell your hair ... never, but I can not stop loving you . Your eyes, your lips, your smile ... your way of understanding life, your songs, your lyrics ... your life. How I would have liked to be part of your life. You are beautiful on the outside and inside. I love you. I love you so much.

This is proof that Joan Baez in the world's greatest singer for the past century. Sad that we never hear her on the radio, not even NPR.

I've loved her vocal ability and the sincerity she puts in each lyric she sings.

great! Many,many thanks for posting this document

Do you know what the venue was?

As an Edinburgh resident, it would be interesting to see what the venue is nowadays

no, don't know exactly

I think it might be the Traverse Theatre

@jsfroam ....just found this https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04m9wrp really bad how the quality of footage on youtube is it really is not worth the advertising revenue that it gets paid . for garbage quality footage no offence to to the uploader

It was recorded at The Place, a club in Victoria Street in Edinburgh's old town. October 1965. The building remained a club and venue for many years, most recently as Espionage, but closed earlier this year

What an amazing woman! Thanks for such great music.

Fell in love with her in 1961. Met her in Carmel CA. That love never died.

I used to go up to Carmel years ago and remembering that Joan Baez  & Mimi were living in that area & Carmel Valley.  I have been a huge fan my whole life and  still love going to Carmel every few years.  I have just about every Joan Baez album.  Are you still in contact with Joan?  I used to hang out on the beach in Carmel as a teenager.

What a voice! What a voice!

Beautiful voice! Beautiful human being! Can you post the list of songs please? My hearing isn't what it used to be and I'd like to research these songs on the internet. Thanks for posting this.
