Dolly Parton performs Jolene at Glastonbury - BBC 

Too bad she's not singing live

@@rreznor660 she is literally 75

Can you imagine writing a song , then travelling around and having thousands of people literally sing it back word for word at your concerts in different countries all over the world? It’s not something many people will ever experience …. It must be the best feeling ever , that’s why she smiles and seems shocked

She actually was! She said so in her Vogue outfits breakdown interview. 😭♥️

@@sadkidan4120 and?

As well they should!

prolly thought she was doing a white stripes cover!

Most of them were twinkles in their dads eyes when Jolene was released lol

Classic songs are classic. My 12 year old cousin has heard Jolene!

I love how she seems so genuinely surprised when the crowd starts singing along with her xxx awww xxx

One of Glastonburys greatest performances, too

Love her humility.

@@jlbaker2000 To sing this in her 70's is so badass.

@@CraicDealer shame the performance was recorded 23 years ago

@@richardstevens2052 It was in 2014

Her songs have passed through generations and it's incredible to watch.

This is literally her biggest song?

@@mero8128 She didn't think it would be when she wrote it dumb dumb.

@@mero8128 I think they meant that they wouldn’t know her and her songs in general, since it’s Britain… not exactly a popular importer of American country 😂

@@XXXTENTAClON227 I thought you were dead bro?

nevejenny the best part!!!

yesss hahahahahh

nevejenny I've always found that cool. I tend to watch Glastonbury via mtvl

Worked as security at Glastonbury when I was like 19, it was great! :P

they would die for her, and her books.

This was from special wasnt it

Her signing isn't cheap though!

She is a Muse, a Diva. An old fart will never know what is being a star for so many decades.

Yeah, maybe. But she´s not a dumb blonde, her wig is blonde.

Well...

In USA you mean?

I’m from turkey 🇹🇷 definitely 💯 you are right legend lives right there

@@markrenton5791 No, he means the whole world, And I agree with him. I'm not American btw.

You don't say

Nobody knows the artist in East-Europe, Asia, Africa. She is not a gift, but a shit of the world. There is a common american superciliousness. That is why the USA is the enemy for the whole world.

There's a vid here of her in a pub in Kerry, Ireland where she does exactly that ....10yrs ago '12

Her origins are English the same as her music.

@@hetrodoxly1203 Scottish, Irish, Welsh, German and English

@@siogbeagbideach The music is of the British Isles and the settler to the Appalachians who were predominantly English and low land Scots, Parton's were English, where does the German come it?

Lmao, will Americans ever stop referring to “Europeans” and “Europe”, like it’s one big country.

Anna Catherine Kowalsky Hii how are you and where from

Artur Östlund Im fine dear,how about You? Im from Poland,but I live in Austria (Wien) too,You?

+Artur Östlund Anna does look very good, doesn't she?

ooGawd thx :) but its face only,most important is what we have insite

Anna, I'd say there are many positive things about you. As I already mentioned, your beautiful picture. I love the colour of, and the flowers in, your hair. As well that, what you told us, you are from Poland, but now live in Austria. Polish women are, in my opinion, one of the best in the world. Austria is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Also the fact, else you would not have been listening to this song, you like this song, which is a great song, and your love of animals (seen from the videos you have watched/liked on RU-vid), tells me that you have a great personality. So I am really sure you are not only beautiful from the outside, but as well are definitely beautiful from the inside. If I would ever be granded with the opportunity of meeting you, or a 100% copy of you, I would never let that opportunity pass by. Not even if I would only be able to say hello. Do not let anyone ever tell you that you are not as well are beautifull from the inside as much as your are beautiful from the outside. I hope you will not only have a wonderful 2017, but that you will live an exceedingly wondrous life.

The crowd is* digging her.😊

She drew 100,000 there. A legendary talent and a lovely down-to-earth person.

so good :D

Maureen Collins "

I'm sorry, what does "diggin" mean?

It also helps if you mime which is what she is doing here. Great woman, great songs, great voice....but she's cheating

Gayalert69 yeah I mean I wouldn’t feel comfortable at 70 to preform to THAT crowd, but she can still sing none the less, the fact that she savours her voice for the studio is kind of good for the audience because it shows it cares about the standards!!

Gayalert69 Dolly does use miming in certain performances, but this was one where you can tell it was genuine, since it’s quieter & a lot more improvised on the timing. Besides, with Dolly it’s not a case of having lost her voice, it’s simply pragmatic. Woman’s 70, it’s an issue of stamina, not ability.

@@tsukopara2054 she’s miming. It’s the same recording used in all the clips and the same heard in the Australian tour. You just change the audio settings to be for out door event versus in door concert. She’s miming.

@@tsukopara2054 Definitely lip synching here.

Always giving me goosebumps

david garcia she have a pick ring thing on her thumb

@@Noway00141 It's a thumbpick

I think he means how she’s holding down those chords 😳

And guitar yes yes jaaa

Dh50486 she’s not playing chords just single notes

Hello Marisa

Hello Christopher

Hello Account

hello Stepan

We all love Dolly. She is sunshine and goodness and my family adore her. I have grown up with her music and I am growing more to appreciate what an amazing songwriter she is. From down here in New Zealand 🇳🇿

Agree. She's very popular all over the world. We love her in Poland too🇵🇱

I was fortunate enough to be there, and waited at the front to see her for hours before her set. It was so worth it! I adore her, and it felt like a truly once in a lifetime chance to see her.

Dolly has been an icon in this country since the 1970's, I get the sense that wherever she goes in this world she is always "One of us".

I'm not too familiar with her music other than this song because country is not my choice of genre but I absolutely love Dolly as a person. The way she's done so much philanthropy without ever expecting at least some publicity in return is a quality not many celebrities have, I only have respect for her.

Are they not supposed to during sets? all performances at festivals I've seen they're always stood still

i think they are the ones who do asl

A GS their shirts say security on the shirts.

Tay Lukasiak QPFE.I3 8

It was a flasmob by the security.. they do it from time to time at the festival..

+Mary Finn this song made for me what the entire White Stripes' repertoire had never done… Jack should take all the money I gave him, and send it to her.

Country music is in a terrible place right now. It's like Top40 music but with a fake country accent. I'd love if it could get back to the blues roots that it came from, although it's been dying since Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan got into it and started changing what country music was. I feel like real country music lovers would like blues more than actual country now.

I stopped listening to country long ago precisely for the reason you state. Now I listen to Celtic, roots, blues and some of the older Southern Rock artists. Give me a Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Crystal Gale or Waylon Jennings any day. Also some of the older artists had sung Gospel or Church Music before starting their careers and they had that knowledge too.

Mary Finn Jolene is quite poppy, actually. And the old stodgy country folks derided Dolly for her pop crossover hits in the 70s. and where are they now?

I agree it's a great song but I think your comment about this coming before the pop influence is wrong. This song is the epitome of country-pop. It's hardly an authentic country song. Listen to Ray Price, slim Whitman or Loretta Lynn for authentic country music. Jolene is a great song but it is not authentic country music as you suggest.

Hello how are you doing???

I loved them for that!

you mean like it sounds on the record cuz she's lip-syncing? hahaha

@@chlagace also a headset mic won't handle belting and whispering at an even volume, a handheld mic can be distanced in and out to even out the volume differences.

@@chlagace it was actually pre-recorded, hence it was recorded on purpose for the event. It is very much likely she whispered it on purpose 🥂

@@brendanoneil3489 Yes of course there is no such thing as compression or production riding the faders.

@@gingercrabgames5063 seems she was lip synching, fixing it with more compression or fade up not really ideal and risks feedback -my point that the headset mic takes the distancing control from the performer...whoever is mixing the live sound.

Much to be admired. Knows what she's doing

What about Greta Thunberg

noivir Eugh. Please. That manipulated child who doesn’t know what she’s talking about?🤦🏻‍♀️

Peccato perché si è rifatta un po troppo con la plastica 🙈

She sends tons of books to little kids all over Tennessee as well. Class act.

Really? Now I'm stanningggg. 😍

imaginationlibrary.com/ Even better than that actually, there are participating communities in many parts of the US, UK, Canada, and Australia where kids get books from her foundation.

You can see she’s not Actually playing the guitar. She obviously can play guitar, but in this act the guitar was just more of a stage piece.

@@cody7068 just to add on there, i seen straight away she wasn't playing the guitar. i believe its due to her nails. the song itself is amazing and it possibly could be a prop i guess

@@cody7068I think she is actually playing, but there's another guitarist on stage who is doing the heavy lifting - the primary fingerpicking part. She is strumming, and that can be heard in addition to the fingerpicking.

THIS! as a guitarist, the first thing i noticed was how she was able to play so perfectly with such long nails!

@@MurrayCampbellOfficial there are videos of her when she's younger playing this and other songs with long nails. There's actually a video on @wingsofpegasus where he does a commentary on it. But, I too think she isn't playing the guitar in this.

@@marcushusky388 ikr she's so so precious

That was a corniest thing I've ever seen

@Eric Burkheimer Actually, the more likely reason divorce rates went up is because women started working and making their own money so they didn't feel as pressured to stay in marriages for financial/independence reasons. It has nothing to do with people not taking their vows seriously. That said, I do think people (especially women) feel very pressured to marry ASAP and they don't think about if it's the right decision for themselves or not. They end up in relationships that just won't last, but they realize much too late.

not being married to the same guy doesnt mean a woman doesnt have character

What a stupid statement.

@@SelphieFairy "The reason is because" is nonsense. Do you want to present what or why the reason for something is?

@@Pe6ek Yeah, sure. Dolly don't take shit from men, so if she wanted to divorce or leave someone for being a shitstain, and she would, and she would also approve of any woman for wanting to the same thing. (: Suck it.

From the lack of time delay, and the way her voice was too clean cut, and the way her voice was unaffected when she walked around the stage, and the way you never herd her take a real breath, I'm afraid I have to dissagre. Having said that, 9 to 5 was deffinetly live.

I think it takes a little bit of time for sound to go thru something electronic/wireless. Not just on the stage ..on here as well. I can play instruments and don't need to take in "deep'' breaths.

Simon Gallagher they bypass the vocal fx when shes talking to the audience, and there was a lot of compression and other enhancements on her voice so their would be a big difference between singing and speech.

Those points are vaild but I've come across a video of Parton singing Jolene at a recent gig in Australia and it sounds exactly the same as this. This does not prove she is miming but it certainly suggests it.

Simon Gallagher well it is the same singer, and likely the same sound engineer with fairly strict guidelines for the sound mix. She wont be as strong nowadays and would expect a preset sound mix to compensate which would probably travel with her. I say this with knowledge not just guessing

Hello how are you doing today???

Has she taken anybody´s man???

+Matthew Song ,no been with the same man for 11 Years and has his 3 children.😁

+Irene Camarena lol. A different kind of Jolene! That's awesome!

***** thank you,she is my only daughter,and she named one of her sons "Hendrix" after Jimi Hendrix,we love music lol.

Irene Camarena Thats great! Glad shes happy :)

She's a legend before, during, and she'll be a legend after her time too.

She's very down to Earth but she is a very talented songwriter with a really nice voice and and beautiful personality and a vast bank account lol.

Probably got something to do with the entire performance being a 20 year old studio recording she mines to.

She's not really playing though. Just for show.

She's not playing a note here

Don Swanson Your name is so cool. Almost Ron Swanson

Hello how are you doing today??

Adelle Ramcharan you are so prety

Adelle Ramcharan Me three Adelle. Love me Dolly. She knows how to write and perform a tune. Done it the hard way, pure hard work. And she's still got it. 😍😍😘😘

Adelle ramcharan same

Adelle Ramcharan she’s beautiful Dolly love her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

cuz its literally the vocals from the record playing, she's not singing live on here

@@chlagace Can you prove she isn’t?

Completely agree. Even there's a little sniff (1:34) which completely matches what you see: her breathing quite heavily through nose. AND there are a couple of clicks and artifacts that you would remove from a recording. She's a little out of breath - you hear that too! However I guess one can never be 100% sure that it's 100% live.

Hello how are you doing today???

Everyone knows who Dolly Parton is, at least everyone 40 plus

i can tell you now i’m a 21 year old british dude and i absolutely adore country. i’m off to see shania twain soon and i appreciate every country singer because it’s so good

I was mainly referring to her other hand.
