After decades of listening to the Judas Priest version, it was good to finally hear the real original...I thank you for writing this song. If it were not mentioned by Rob Halford during a Live performance that Joan sang the original version, I may have never known!
No matter how many times I’ve listen to Joan & her singing this is beyond a doubt her finest. Everytime I play it l applause . This has been going on for 50+ years☮️
My band does a version of this. The Judas priest version. Very different. I wish I could sing like her.... Such a beautiful song. And the pain in her voice is apparent.
Joan Baez was-or is-a better guitarist than I realized. (Odd that she seems think a light year a unit of time, rather than distance-especially considering that her father was a prominent scientist.)
