Listening to this made me feel sorry for the generation who give their heart and soul to acts like Taylor Swift thinking that she is the pinnacle of artistic perfection, and who would never listen to this ethereal, angelic perfection
Don’t worry. Timeless music has a way of being rediscovered and real truths can and do reach us as we are made in the likeness and image of God. Signed, a 47 year old x generation man who listened to glam metal in jr. high and by Jr year in high school it was Peter Paul and Mary, Beethoven, and Billie Joel.
Totally agree, a happy early arrival and the magic of Glastonbury such privileged..even better slower and with less accompaniment. Very very special musical moment for me.
I don't think you'll hear anyone say "that woman's voice sounds like Judi Collins". Interesting that she replaced "ain't" with "is". Judy, thank you for sharing your gift. ❤❤
Brought tears to my eyes, I remember those heady days when the entire world was before us in which to revel, and some of us did, some, like Judy, more than others. She still has that angelic voice and presence 50 years on. Wonderful memories.
I looked up her bio. She has been performing since 1959. That was the year I was born. I’m 63. I truly have known her voice my entire life. That’s so incredible to think about.❤️✌🏻
Judy Collins, your voice is truly unchanged. This is a great rendition of a great song. I recently created to works of art, both of which were inspired by the last verse. I saw you in concert at Red Rocks, Colorado. The second half of the concert was Simon and Garfunkel. That was quite a concert. It had to have been around 1969.
Holy crap! She's 81 years old here and her voice sounds incredible! I'm blown away. She's a treasure! She was the first concert I ever attended, at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in around 1971 or 1972.
Sweet "Judy Blue-eyes". I had the chance to hear this, in the East Village, NYC, 1964. I took those memories with me, to Vietnam, after I was Drafted into the Army, 1966. That was within, just 3 weeks, after graduating from High School, up in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont.
This has always been a lovely song (full credit to Bob Dylan), and this performance is over the top. Congratulations to Judy Collins. The introduction she gives is gorgeous. She sets you up for a song bound to be touching because of her history with it, teases you with the melody ("a voice coming up the steps"), finishes the historical story, and then sings the song beautifully. I agree with the earlier posters here who praise Judy Collins's voice and singing. She's still fabulous. Enjoy. Thank you, Judy Collins. Kind wishes to all.
I worked for Joe Harold, who owned a radio station. He worked for Judy Collins Father In Colorado. He told me when Judy was a tiny Girl, she would sit at the piano and he swore he could hear the angels when she sang songs. He said he knew she would become famous.
"I listened...while Dylan wrote this song" what-a-story! Told so gently with wonder in her voice she tells us listening for hours to the process of creation...amazing and haunting
Mr. Tamburine is also called Lucifer. Hesekiel 28,13b. Do you understand now why Dylan wrote this song so quickly and easily? He sold his soul. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m_wAZ02JUtM.html
Her voice is stunning for an eighty year old woman. I have watched this back to back to performances in her 20s and there really isn't much difference. I don't think I have heard anything quite this well preserved. She looks really healthy too.
My wife and I saw Judy Collins on our honeymoon in lake Tahoe 43 years ago it's astounding her voice is still as beautiful as it was then. I remember her beautiful eyes. Time has not diminished her beauty!
Here's my humble take. She portrays the weariness, longing for relieve of a worn down soul. It reminds one of a farewell, someone that's looking down from above. The curtain has been opened, the vail lifted and nothing left but harsh reality except where the wander see's a different road where there's no fences facing. Judy catches the under tones very well. Yes a beautiful rendition. She is a wonderful soul.
This song was written in 1964 - first recorded in 1965. That's nearly sixty years ago! Can you think of any song on the top ten hit parade right now that you would put money on being performed - with such beauty and reverence - in sixty year's time? I'd love to know.
I was born in 1963.I started reacting to music immediately apparently. Haven't stopped. I just saw this lady is still performing. That is absolutely fantastic. I did see her at the Festival with Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlile. I admire them all so much.The amount of history teaches so much. Youngsters listen up.These stories are pure gold.🇮🇪
Jerry Jeff Walker, Who Wrote and Sang ‘Mr. Bojangles,’ Dies at 78 He never had a Top 40 pop hit. But his best-known composition became a standard, and he became a mainstay of the outlaw country movement.
OMG. The first notes leaving her lips....perfect, I hope to have such a natural flowing voice when I reach her age. And as always....those mesmerizing ageless beautiful prancing blue eyes. Stephen Stills wrote that song to her deservedly.
Ms Judy has the most beautiful voice. It seems that the more time that goes by, the more beautiful her voice becomes. I discovered Ms Jusy when I was 13 years old when I bought her album "Judith" from a thrift store in my home town. 37 years later, I still have that old album and it remains one of my favorite albums of all time.
I love you so much, Judy, ever since I was a child and my uncles introduced me to your records. I am so glad to see you have your own channel. & I see you are on your tour and I am going to try to make one of the dates somehow. All the best and thank you for the inspiration.
