This video is invaluable visual history! Just hearing Judy Collins singing, “Who Knows Where The Time Goes” is worth the price of admission! Throw in Peter, Paul & Mary, Pentangle and Sandy Denny...Whoa! Now THIS is MUSIC, folks! Ya gotta love it!
You are just getting a small taste of how wonderful they were. Their fist three albums are masterpieces. Their last three albums are very good but not as spontaneous as this. The seemingly endless number of solo albums by the guitarists John Renbourn and Bert Jansch (pronounced like yansh) are truly amazing. They were legends before forming Pentangle. Their collaborative album was widely regarded and hinted at things to come with the group. John was such a smooth, lyrical, graceful, and expressive guitarist. Bert was a highly influential pace setter, innovator, and gifted songwriter. Their music was always unique and rarely ordinary. Neil Young regarded him as the Jimi Hendrix of acoustic guitar. He was a huge influence on Young, Donovan (including Jansch styled Bert's Blues & House of Jansch), Jimmy Page (Black Mountainside & Bon Y Yur Stomp), Paul Simon (Anji), Mike Oldfeild, and even The Beatles (through Donovan, Dear Prudence & Julia).
Never heard Judy Collins sing Sandy's "Who knows where the time goes" but only Sandy Denny sings from the very depth of her heart, been listening to Sandy for the past 46 years and she still makes me cry.
Judy sounded much different back when she first did this song. If you listen to "Anna Thea" from the Hootenany sessions, or "Russian Lullaby" from the Pete Seeger sessions, you can see she had a much purer voice back then. She says she ruined it with drugs and alcohol. you can find them all on RU-vid.
I love the old folk music. Where has all the good mucic gone ? Not gone but older now.where have all those singers gone some gone and some not gone .🙏☮️☯️🦋
Every one of these artists are cosmic. Masters all. I saw Peter Paul and Mary at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco in 1970. I saw the Pentangle open up for James Taylor at the Berkeley Community Center in 1971. I saw Judy Collins at the Berkeley Community Theater in 1968 with Stephen Stills backing her up on guitar. Her single at radio was "Someday Soon" at the time. I am lucky to have seen them all in their prime.
Pentangle, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span....super music. Must be a symptom of ageing... the 60s and 70s music seems sooo much better than anything since.
You might check out Gay & Terry Woods. They were husband and wife founding members of Steeleye Span. They were only on the first SS album Hark! The Village Wait, which IMO is their best album. It has a lot of Woods influence and sounds quite different their other albums. Both Gay and Terry are great songwriters and have very expressive and emotional voices.
It's exactly what Judy said about Sandy- "her voice was like gold and silver"- this music will never go stale or out of style. And I like Mahler, too. But this is just so inspirational, so lovely. Music reaches a place that nothing else seems to touch inside of us.
I heard Judy Collins about 4 years ago in Clearwater… amazing to compare the range, depth and clarity of her voice over the half century + time I’ve had to listen to her ‘amazing grace’, which, FYI, she sang a cappella sitting on the front edge of the stage to conclude her show.
God, what a collection! Then Judy Blue Eyes to wrap it up, here PhD in music and all. If you have ever met her and talked with ner for a while, the beauty and the Blue Eyes never fade. Thanks for the video!👍😎
Having met " Judy Blue eyes", back in '64, all I can say is ------it's no wonder Stephen Stills had to write a song to----for--------about, her. -------------------------WolfSky9, 73 y/o
@@merrillhess5626 I've seen one of those. I think Sandy Denny is one of our great folk (folk/rock) singers - it's a real pity there are not numerous clips of her on stage.
The 60s were never a softie era; the 60s were the opposite of everything that is softie. The 60s changed us all forever, so much so that even Nixon, Reagan, and the Bushes couldn't reverse that change in the past 50 years. Rock & Roll forever, because Rock & Roll is true America.
Jay Wolf Well, you are entitled to your opinion--that is certainly an American ideal. And trust me--I LOVE '60s folk music, regardless of their political activist roots, so please do not take this as anything other than an inquiry into your view point. "True America" and Rock 'N Roll simply does not equate. Much of the '60s rock scene has its roots in Britain--not the United States. You can point to Buddy Holly, perhaps, but would the rock scene have morphed into what it was without the British Rock Invasion, with its roots in socialism, proclivity to marxist thought, and it being used as a tool by Bolshevism PR Wars (for example: the Beatles' "Back In the U.S.S.R." as a "counter" to the Beach Boys' "California Girls")? I mean, my word, they called themselves "the COUNTER-culture". Well, whose culture where they "countering"? AMERICA'S! Here is what is distinctly American: being a Constitutional Republic predicated upon English Common Law, which, in turn, is predicated upon the Judeo-Christian principle of: 1) God first; 2) Mankind (men and women as equal)--who: a) derive their rights only from Creator God, and therefore: b) those rights as UNALIENABLE--meaning the State can not alter them nor take them away; and then, last: 3) human government, which derives its rights to govern from the consent of the People. Everything that the political activism that undergirded much of the late '50s "beatnik" era and the '60s counter-culture/rock scene is rooted in a political model that is the exact opposite, as it places: 1) the State FIRST; and then 2) Mankind under the State, where mankind a) derives its "rights", and because of that, these "rights" are NOT 'unalienable', meaning the State now controls what those rights are, who has them, when they can have them, where they can have them, who can live and die and why, and these "rights" can be altered via "flick of a pen", etc ...; b) is NOT "gender-equal", as women are indoctrinated to believe that if they can not be "truly equal" without changing their true feminine natures; c) is told that "family" and "marriage" are irrelevant (as are "gender" and "species") as they challenge the "State's supremacy" as the primary building blocks of society and arbitrator of truth, morality, and faith; d) is told that science and DNA reality is irrelevant, as the DNA absolutes of gender and species are "reduced" to "social constructs" because they challenge the "State's supremacy" in defining social institutions, what "science" is, and what "reality" you are to subscribe to; e) is told that the Founding Documents--the "Declaration" and "Constitution", are irrelevant and neutralized by being cast as "living documents"; f) its dictated whether they can live or die, receive healthcare, mortgage a home, obtain a school loan (controlling who will be 'educated' and who will NOT), etc ...; g) is told what to think, how to think, where to think, when to think, and if anyone does not "think" what they are told to "think" they are "bigots" and "hate-mongers" and lose their business, jobs, livelihoods, families and told to "kill themselves"--that "society would be better off without them" (the marxist form of "love" that they speak of, I surmise?), etc ...; and finally, 3) God is placed LAST, but in reality, in this model, God does not even effectively exist. So I am confused as to how you characterize "rock 'n roll" (which I truly love), with "true America" (which I love even more). _
Jay Wolf Okay, you give me a lot to reply to. Hopefully I will be able to address each of your accusations over the next few days--that is, if you do not in the meantime hunt me down and chop off my head for having an opinion that differs from you. You really have a whole lotta hate going on there, bubba. Oh, and just off the top of my head--historically and factually on just about every count, you are verifiably wrong. For instance, any reading of just the "Declaration Of Independence" would make known that Jefferson quoted the Bible (both the Old and New Testaments) at least twice in this short document. That is because he deliberately based the "Declaration's" justification for why breaking ties with the Crown was not "treasonous" on William Blackstone's English Common Law, a Christian defense of Transcendent Legal Precedent. Everyone in Jefferson's day knew Blackstone's Common Law--espeically those trained in England's legal tradition, such as much of the Founding Fathers and the King himself. So Jefferson was speaking a language the King understood when he quoted the New Testament and called upon the Creator and His transcendent law as evidenced in "... the laws of nature and of nature's god ..." that are higher than the King. Furthermore, of the roughly 220 Founding Fathers, only 3 were verifiable deists, and only 2 were verifiably atheists (Ethan Allen and Thomas Payne, I believe, but I am working off of memory, here). All of the remainder were at least nominal Christians, with a high percentage being pastors and leaders of a Christian church. Many were lawyers trained, again, in the tradition of Blackstone, who was, again, a Christian theologian/lawyer. Furthermore, every single one of the State Constitutions written during the lifetimes of the Founding Fathers who signed both the Declaration and the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were the authors of each of those State Constitutions. And every single one of those State Constitutions mention "God', the "Creator" and even one dedicates its respective Commonwealth to "Judeo-Christian Prudence"! Many of these State Constitutions that dedicate their respective Commonwealths to "Almighty God" and "Judeo-Christian Prudence" and propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ were authored by the same men who authored the First Amendment AFTER the passage of the First Amendment! So much for your version of the First Amendment, Jay. So much for the historical revisionism that is a complete LIE, Jay, by suggesting that the First Amendment has anything to do with keeping Judeo-Christianity out of the public arena. Only a bigot would suggest that we should ban people of theistic faith from the public debate and yet at the same time allow those of the atheistic faiths to express THEIR delusions in the public space. Furthermore, as for your characterization of me being a "racist", I find that prejudiced and stereotyping. Based upon what? It seems to me that the same lack of evidence borne out of historical and biblical illiteracy that constitutes your worldview is the same illiteracy that allows you to believe that slavery, JIm Crow, the KKK, and segregation were all "conservative Christian" ideals. However, in reality, these were all liberal Democratic Party initiatives. In fact, as recent as the past 15 years, the Democratic Party elected a known LEADER of the KKK to office! His name was Robert Byrd. Harry Truman, Democrat, KKK Member. Hugo Black, Democrat, KKK Member. Theo Bilbo, Democrat, KKK Member ... the list goes on. And the Democratic Party is the party that passed Jim Crow, fought AGAINST the Abolition of Slavery, initiated segregation, etc ... Even Martin Luther King, Jr. was a REPUBLICAN (not that I am one, by the way, just to clear that up). So you really need to brush up on historical reality and stop believing what you were spoon-fed in the secular-humanist public education system that has been taken over by these same atheistic leftists and their utopian agenda. More to come ... I want to fully address your anger, your rant, your assertions.
athrillofhope keep it coming, and i will read them all. i'm not like you Rush-Limbaugh-fans who censor your opponents from expressing their concerns and criticisms in your worthless Nazi AM radio stations. But here suddenly you talk as if you goons are the most civilized honest people who always allow everybody to speak and want freedom for all, and it's only us on the left who are against freedom of speech and pro-slavery or whatever ridiculous accusations you goons pull out of your asses everyday against us, while in reality the exact things you're accusing us are exactly what you people are professing all the time. it's easy to accuse other to what you do in order to confuse others, but it's a too pitiful way to look like you're "winning" in an argument, and is way too dangerous to the health of society's collective thoughts, which is bound to lead to more anger and violence in society. secondly, everything you just said about "proving" to us that the foundation of the US is based on "Judeo" b.s. is just WRONG and too small even to consider in a historical analysis. In your closed minds this country seems a "Judeo" country, but in REALITY the whole world learned atheism from America, and Thank you America for that. Nobody is preventing you or anybody else to express your religious ideas or prayers(you lie and pretend to be the "victims" of this by us) No you're free to have and practice any damn religion you want, as long as you're not violent to others who think differently than you, and as long you "pious" people with your ugly Jewish prophets STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE GOVERNMENT and LAWS. We don't need nor want your fucking sharia-laws of your sharia-christian-laws and Judeo-sharia-laws and islamic-sharia laws you half-wits believe so much are "good for the society" and believe if you behead people, cut fingers, and burn women on stakes then society suddenly be free from crimes and corruptions, while history and today are the proofs that everytime you retarded Semitic religious people practiced your sharia-christian-judeo-islamic laws the whole country went to hell whole. just look what's happening in saudi arabi isis territories. christians and jews their extremists are no different than them. just look what happened in history when christians were in charge, dictatorship and DARK AGES was ensued. You Semitic-religions lovers can practice your sharia-laws in the middle of Israel's desert and leave us all alone, and keep your fucking Semitic religions to yourselves. Don't you ever try to jam it down all of us throat only because one of the founding fathers said "Jesus! That pussy is too black!"
Jay Wolf Geez, Jay, is this more examples of your "true America"? I have not read this much racist hate in weeks, quite frankly. And the root of racism is IGNORANCE. So Christians and Jews are to "stay ... away from government and laws". So let's parse this another way: anyone who subscribes to a THEISTIC religion is banned from government and from expressing their views in the public square. Basically, CENSORSHIP (do we see the true spirit of the Sixties emerging now? I believe so ...). But what about those who subscribe to A-THEISTIC religions, Jay? How about Buddhists? They are atheists. How about Secular-Humanists, like YOU, Jay? They are atheists, too, and the SCOTUS proclaimed atheism and its secular-humanism 'RELIGIONS', Jay. And so they are. There are religions that are theistic AND A-theistic (again, like Buddhism). So basically you are setting up an A-THEOCRACY. Atheism is now the Official State Religion? How do you square that with the First Amendment, Jay? How do you square that with the reality that the Declaration's justification for what the King called "treason" is based upon the Old and New Testament? How do you square that the reality that ALL of the State Constitutions written before, during and after the First Amendment was passed dedicate their respective Commonwealths to "God" and "Creator" and "Christian Forebearance"? Atheism is at the core of fascism, the Third Reich, marxism and communism and Bolshevism and is directly responsible for over 200 MILLION DEATHS OF INNOCENTS in the 20th Century alone. Let me repeat this fact of history: YOUR RELIGION, ATHEISM, IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR OVER 200 MILLION DEATHS OF INNOCENTS at the hands of totalitarian atheistic regimes in the 20th Century alone. Fascism claims a mere 20 million. Communism takes the lion's share, with around 180 million murders of innocents. But all are thoroughly ATHEISTIC, Godless. And you just ignore this reality? You sit there accusing Christianity of putting anyone to death, yet you have yet to cite a single incident that directly implicates Christianity and its teachings in even a single case. And yet history is replete with HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DEATHS as the direct result of atheistic totalitarian dictatorships that NO ONE DISPUTES are the result of their atheistic ideology, and you ignore all of this. Your mindless knee-jerk spewing of terms like "Nazi" for anyone who disagrees with your cartoon reality only underscores your complete hatred based upon ignorance. Christianity never burned anyone at the stake. The STATE burned people at the stake under the false banner of Christianity--just like the King did in England. Name one New Testament verse that justifies your accusation that burning anyone at the stake for philosophical disagreements. Where do you get your information, Jay--from the "Family Guy"? Seems like it. You may also wish to note that many of the Salem witches WERE, indeed, actual witches. The Witch Societies exist to this day: under the banner of Wiccan and Warlock Movements. Look it up. And Christianity has no problem with that under civil government. The problem in Salem was the WITCHES STOLE CHILDREN FOR CHILD SACRIFICE, CANNIBALSIM, and other ritualistic things using innocent people that boggle the mind. Nice little piece of history you may wish to add to the profile of these "ignorant Salem Puritans" who executed MURDERERS. Were there errors? Perhaps. I do not know. But what I do know is that most of those executed in Salem were convicted of crimes against humanity-- NOT for "knowing math" (what kind of idiots do you think Christians are?) -- but for sacrificial rituals. So, then, you have verified your ignorance and Biblical and historical illiteracy all too well. The "true America" is a figment of your imagination--not one of history and reality. Liberty, like the Abolitionist Movement, by the way, is an exclusively CHRISTIAN concept--one you take for granted, provided by the faith and people you hate so much and falsely accuse of crimes they never committed. Which is ironic--since you go about doing to Christians what you falsely believe the Puritans did to witches in Salem: falsely accuse and state your desire to banish them from society. So this is just what I thought I would get: a silly, childish, brainwashed, indoctrinated Kool-Aid drinker who is racist, probably sexist, and full of hate for anything that is of God. Here's your issue: you hate God. Period. You are no more complex than that. And you are free to do so. However, when I read someone denigrating my nation, its history, her heritage and pretending that all of the crap that we have had to deal with as a nation because of the Sixties, such as AIDS and other sexual diseases, rebellion, calls for an a-theocracy, anarchy, etc ... are "good" things, I simply have to correct that notion for anyone willing to open their minds just a crack. You are not willing to listen, that is for sure. But others may. And that is the only reason I engage someone like you past the first post.
The one thing I notice in all these videos, is how laid back and understated they all sang. They weren't showing off, or going for the huge sound. It seemed like less was more.
Wow. As aggressive as these guys ever got was by whispering, “a little louder” into the mic. He was probably thinking, “But, please, not too loud. Thank you.” Such polite times (If you don’t count the Civil rights movement.
How incredible is pentagle? ?? my first time hearing them really ..other than poison which is probably them but labeled as Bert jansch on RU-vid ...that girl killed the second song (In a good way obviously) hah but man oh man ..that's literally some of the best stuff I've heard ..Bert was incredible but the whole band is phenomenal ...just goes to show what we can create and how we can come together to make beautiful things; music, art, writing, etcetera
Puff suffered from a common malady, as did countless other compositions. Overplaying. Some others come to mind; Stairway, American Pie, Bridge Over Troubled, etc. These were not bad songs but it was like continually scratching a place that doesn't ich. It doesn't take long for it to become annoying.
@@rsrhsart it was played ironically on the film 'Volunteers' with Tom Hanks (where he escapes some bad guys by joining a Peace Corps mission). Everone laughed in the cinema!
Tom -- as much as I dearly love PP&M and even though I enjoyed Puff when it originally came out, I am totally over listening to it. I was watching a short film clip recently (from where I forget) Peter was speaking and seemed to imply that even the three of them finally got a bit tired of it.
