They were more reserved , No doubt .

@Gutless Spigot You don't have to hate Trump to like her politics. Unless I'm missing something.

@Gutless Spigot Same here

Or the constant "WOAH" from the US audience, as if chiming in as loud as you could in the audience somehow made you special. Annoying as hell.

@Gutless Spigot So you have no problem invading smaller countries, destroying their way of life and environment without their permission, you detest civil rights equal to your own for everyone and you have no problem with our young soldiers coming home maimed in mind and body and it's on to the next war?

A “good interviewer” who seemed to want to keep hassling her about some BS that she was supposedly “difficult” ?

@@angelwings7930 That was one sentence, not more. And i did appreciate that question, because i am interested. I grew up with her singing, my first ever bought record was the first of her albums. I fear the day to hear of her death - or the one of Bob Dylan - they all die away these recent decades. Back then in Germany amidst all these Hippies hearing Joan Baez featuring Bob Dylans lyric you didn't have any possibility to get infos. Just these few songs in the radio, and the records, which were expensive back then, then these street musicians singing to their guitars - but you really knew NOTHING - exept what some youth journal like Bravo would write occasionally or from some rare broadcastings, but the moderators were clueless themselves. When the hype with Hippies were over, you even didn't hear anything at all except the new album release - for so many years just a great void. But you want to know, what's up with your favorite musicians. So, really, i'm glad for these opportunities to get informed, the internet and especially youtube has gifted us the last couple of decades, especially when it's not with an crappy american interviewer in this typical kooky attitude. And yes, i want to know some personal things too of such an important lifelong companion who soon will be gone forever. Sorry, cant' agree with you.

Move!

JayJay ChaDoy They'd make a terrific audience at a comedy club!

I agree. Fredrik Skavlan is one of the best interviewers IMO. He always puts his guests at ease and gets the best out of them. 👍🏼

This is what interviews are like on German TV, too. Maybe it’s generally a European thing.

In some cultures, interrupting someone while they speak is a sign of showing interest and engagement in the conversation.

@@plerpplerp5599 Italians.

@@patriciamillin1977 Not Markus Lanz ;-).

She was quite prophetic in this clip, without realizing. Greta Thunberg has said in interviews that it was the Parkland Highshool kids who inspired her and impulsed her to speak out about climate change. I think that's real cool. This clip was made over a year and a half ago. Recently Greta arrived in the US on the exact day that impeachment hearings for Trump began in congress. Now I call that auspicious.

@@brynawaldman5790 You're an idiot!

You will be pleased to hear that Trump was acquitted - no impeachment at all and a guaranteed shoo-in for 2020!

+Stewart W I feel like you misunderstood something... Trump was definitely impeached. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Donald_Trump The impeachment was based on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Just because he was acquitted by the senate and allowed to remain in office, doesn’t mean he wasn’t impeached. Please don’t spread misinformation without fact-checking :/

Impeached: charge (the holder of a public office) with misconduct. Okay, he was charged but the charge was not successful as he was not guilty. Picking the flyshit out of the pepper much?

Beautifully said ❤️

I do not know who she is, sorry but I like her she seems to be genuine which is lovely

She was a lousey poet a cheating wife and a neglectful mother. She was so busy changing the world she failed miserably at the things that mattered.

Hear hear!

Lovely words, thank you 🙏🏻 . Joan was a guiding light for me in my youth, she showed us that a woman can be kind and still be strong, that showing emotion is not a weakness. Her peaceful resistance was brave and beautiful. Just listen to the album “Where Are You Now, My Son?”, recorded live in the bomb shelter in Vietnam.

Ida Earl I think the same & I’m 70. Thx for opening that door. Do you look young for your age? People tell me I do. 😊

Im 48 and she has been one of my favourites from my early age. I remember going on her concert in Ljubljana when I was about 17 and I was by far the youngest person there 😁. I also went alone because none of my friends listened to her music at the time. Later most of my generation also listened to her music at some pount or at least knew her. She is such a radiant person.

Yep! Same here! Been collecting her records for a while now.

@@debarghyaroy9948 Do you still have records!😊 I wish we could return to that era of music and life. Joan Baez and Neil Diamond are my icons forever!

@@radhasen.animalwelfare.5644 Yes! Neil and Joan and many more! I got Joan's first record along with Diamonds and rust and contemporary ballad book. Need to get more but frankly my pocket isn't deep. I wish someone would gimme! I love collecting records! I learnt to like her music from my dad. I got about 200 (?) records I think. Not too many.

Except for being an unfaithful wife and an absent mother she was well thought of by people that didn't know her.

@Agent J huh? She screwed guys while her husband was in prison and basically abanded her son to protest a just war. A war we didn't loose by the way.

Transgender man

@Agent J in boomer fantasy land maybe.

Very Talented.

Guess what. She would love that, that you just discovered her! You should do yourself a favour and buy her newest album, Whistle down the wind. It's SO GOOD. I have it on CD and vinyl. It's not too bad, to get some new fans... :-

First Baez recording I heard was "Sweet Sir Galahad" on vinyl. It struck me how crystal clear it sounded as if she was right there in the room. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqp_e6qdmKrNmYE.html (Listen with headphones.)

Give Fairwell Angelina a listen. One of her better covers. Basically Joanie was a singer of other peoples songs. Its a shame she lacked the ability to write them herself.

Check out her performance opening night of Woodstock 1969, 6 months pregnant with a baby daddy in prison for burning his draft card.

@@RaymondHng Sweet Sir Galahad was one of the few songs that Joan wrote. It was written about the courtship of her widowed sister Mimi Fariña and Milan Melvin.

Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate it :-)

I assume you’re talking about physical pain? Me too. I’m about Her age, but I became bedridden in excruciating pain. I met her once.

@@cre8lite11 Yes, physical pain. I’m so sorry to hear you are bedridden.

Imagine if Bob Dylan grew up as a millennial having all these demons on him. Wouldn't last.

yes and not at all plastic.

emmylou harris

Her dad was MEXICAN, so nonwhites DO age better.

she's yummy, but [Jane]Fonda is right there with her.

brainsareus Jane Fonda is so plastic it’s distasteful.

dtz jones REAL women. Most of America grew up with mothers and mother figures who age this way. We will ALWAYS find it more comforting and “normal” than what Hollywood shoves down our throats. 💜

I'm assuming you are male. What I respect is a woman's right to choose what she does to or for herself. What is sad is when someone thinks they have to be a certain way just to be accepted because there are too many people like you with opinions on what they should or shouldn't do or how they should look or shouldn't look. Look in the mirror and only be concerned with the person looking back.

@Fritz Feuer. I'm sure you express your opinions out loud and to people's faces right, especially if they're negative, rather than just from your keyboard and screen? And it's choose, not chose.

Yes i also find the way shes living her life very beautiful, though I think choosing or not choosing cosmetic procedures isn’t important. The important thing is having that warm empathetic glow that makes others feel loved and listened to. Cheers!!

@@kailani37 You’re right; women have the right to do what they want. But look at this from a different angle for a moment. Those Hollywood women may feel pressured into doing cosmetic surgery, to have/keep a career and/or because otherwise people will say horrible things about their wrinkles. So the ‘right to choose’ then kind of goes away (in the sense that it becomes meaningless, not really true) when you’re in the public eye. We’ve developed a culture in which actresses cannot let themselves age naturally. In that context it is fine to celebrate women aging gracefully instead of assuming the plastic image that “Hollywood shoves down our throats”. And of course ‘Hollywood’ also includes us, the consumer. We want to see pretty people on screen. But sometimes it goes a bit too far and then we ridicule the outcome.

Nope, she's a robot. Don't care but could act like it. Thank AI

You're right!

um, no. no surgery. she practices yoga and meditation, eats healthy, and generally lives well. the last thing she's interested in is artifice and appearances. no surgery. she's just naturally beautiful.

I know that I judge my singers on how attractive they are.

Agree with you.She has great skin,hands bone features.Always has and is growing gracefully.

Her mother´s genes are also a big part of it, as she often says. It is a combo of various factors, I am sure. She does Tai Chi as well, I think and paiting.. Singing will also quiet the soul down, as you know.

What an odd saying 😮

I never heard that saying before and frankly I don’t care for it. I think of my dear late mother, who had her beauty diminished as she aged due to serious health challenges. How a person ages is certainly not based on “what they deserve.”

@@j_kahn I think what happens to the face due to illness is an exception to this saying. What it means is that people who take care of themselves maintain their beauty for longer, AND that you can see warmth from kindness, intelligence, and humor on someones face even if their skin and features are aged.

@@RelaxWithDog I am not buying your argument. When people are judged on how well they have aged, most times NOTHING is known about why that is. I say for this reason it’s extremely unfair and judges with zero context. Stupid saying.

​@@j_kahn It's just a saying. I think you being a bit too strict in you interpretation and it's making you overreacting a bit to it. Not trying to be rude.

John Henry me too

Her best song, to be sure.

Mine too. As a kid I would listen to that record over n over and tried how to play it on my guitar. I miss those days.

Thank you so much - we truly appreciate it!

Me too

It’s a great show!!

Me to Joan Baez Singer, Poet, Genius, Great interview, Respect for Joan and respect for her age, I am 74 thank you from Ireland ☘.

Miketrt What people like her, may I enquire? I see her as unique.

You're absolutely right!! There will never be another voice like Joan Baez. She is a gift to the world!!

That’s how I describe her voice too. She’s also an amazing guitar player.

Will Dwyer What a lovely early memory to have!

Phil Ochs wrote that one!

@@doriangray_1999 Yep, I remember it well.

Me too..

Thank you so much for watching and commenting!

Skavlan your very welcome 👍

I heard her sing in Boston in 1962. Great entertainer.

I think my uncle John Morier may have sang in that same coffeehouse or so I've been told.

Btw I'm 34 and been mesmerized by her for so long.

Like cheating on her husband and neglecting her son.

@igal, very well stated. She supported the best of human nature in her endeavors. She is great.

@@Bob-fz7pd Are you back again??? Get lost.

@@julianmarsh1378 im only here to educate.

Well that’s incredibly obvious she’s known as a serious artist.

Did she stop being an anti-war activist? She praised Obama. I guess the mainstream media protected him well.

Me too!

this californian says hello to bosnian cousins and comrades !

Was it Solo le Pido a dios?? When Mercedes sings that,you feel the sadness in injustice and the protest. They were movement leaders ,with art,music,but loud and clear

We used to. Shows like Dick Cavette, Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin and even Mike Douglas wasn’t bad. Larry King was also not bad.

Mostly Brenda I think women has talent for fingerpicking, that is part of their nature 🤔

Mostly Brenda - What kind of man was Dylan at the time, you think?

Gixellia S. - "Don't Look Back" has a lot of backstage footage. Recommend seeing it and you'll get some idea of his personality. He was dealing with the big controversy over his switch to an electric band and Rock and Roll, so he is irritated and confused by fans and the press questioning him about it.

Gixellia S. narcissistic, self indulgent self obsessed and fearcely ambitious all artists. are and those who "make it" are in particular, thats why they get there

What a bunch of sexist boloney.... Seriously??

I'ts not, it IS gun related. Just look at the numbers. In the US there are 20 x more gun related deaths than in the Netherlands for example (where fire arms are prohibited), and 10 x more homicides. Do the math and stop calling people who do their homework idiots, makes you seem petty, insecure and mean. Here are the nr's for you : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate , and another : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

MrBadabimBadabum you’re only partially correct a very small part at that. Reasonable gun legislation is a moral imperative right now, no two ways about it.

The rest of the civilised world has gun control. America is addicted to gun ownership and denial will not cure the disease. The world watches

I agree Eric! Unbelievable, I vaguely knew who she was until just after the recent marches. She paved the way and gives me hope. She has lived an exemplary life, a role model, definately!

eric79boz I do not live in the us but it feels like the continent should be divided into two countries; a country for violent, narrow-minded evangelists and one for the others.

Marco Kropp More Joan Baezes. Yup.
