Thread Name: Joan Baez- educated recent opinion?
Subject: RE: Joan Baez- educated recent opinion?
I saw her in concert in the early sixties when she was incredible and shared the stage with a then unknown Bob Dylan. The evening was magic. Dylan sang "Hard Rain's Gonna Fall" and sold a few thousand copies of his first album that night. Years later I saw her and Pete Seeger in concert to raise money for Chile (Carnegie Hall, I think). She was good. He was barely coherent.I chalked it up to the evening's focus - Chile not music. Or maybe I was older and a bit more cynical. By then Dylan had gone electric.
