Just sitting here in my lovely home town of Carrickfergus. I’ve heard many versions of this song - Once as part of a cross-community trip to Áras an Uachtaráin at the kind invitation of Mary McAleese. This is definitely the best version …ever. Just wonderful. Thank you Joan ❤️❤️❤️
I’m 65 my one regret is never having seen her perform. she,being principled, refused to perform in South Africa where I was born. Have always loved Joan a beautiful person within and without.
Back in the sixties Joan Baez was giving a concert on British TV. I had never seen her before. During the second song I was up and out the door running to the nearest phone box, a half mile or so, to call my elder sister to make sure she didn't miss this concert and the amazing voice this young woman had! Always loved the person that she is, the songs and that crystal clear voice!
Still a distinctly beautifully amazing voice of an incredible Lady. So wonderfull to hear her singing over many amazing decades. Just love her voice and integrity. Thank You Joan
Superba, la migliore, meno male che grazie internet, la possiamo ascoltare sempre. Il buon Dio gli ha donato questo bellissimo dono. Che lei saggiamente lo traduce in grande armonia 👏👍💞🎶🎵🎹🎸❤
What can you say only she's the best singer I've ever heard. she's so linguistic . sings from the heart a god given gift. Loved and admired Joan since the early 60,s. God bless & keep you always etc. Keep up the good fight.
When she introduces the song, she speaks slowly and distinctly so that the foreign audience in Slovakia could understand. So nice of her! A respect for the audience that is lacking among pop stars these days!
She also rolls her 'r's beautifully!! A truly wonderful rendition of that song. My musical and moral heroine for 54 years. I will never forget, at the age of 16 hearing 'There But For Fortune'. I have never judged anyone since. Much love to you, Dan, a fellow admirer.
This is absolutely beautiful I've heard so many different people sing this this is the best ever thanks for posting it has given me goosebumps sending love and hope always
Like a clear spring gushing from the depth of the soul. This voice and song are a perfect match. Joan’s voice has this intimately mystical-poignant quality that echoes the Celtic haunting touch.
Whoever it may be, the person that put this number by her in U Tube, should be congratulated and thanked, admired for the best sense. Thank you very much.
Yes, this is the most wonderful song - sung by one of the most amazing and beautiful voices of one of the most amazing and wonderful women on earth! I heard this song for the very first time today, but I've been a fan of Joan since the age of 15. One of my greatest wishes in life is to hear her live just one time.
Well sung Joan. I'm from Ireland and visited Carrigfergus on Several occasions. You have the most Beautiful Voice. I had shivers listening to your version. Wonderful. Thank You Joan X 🎤🎸🎶🎶🎵🎵🎼🎼🎧👏👏☘️☘️☘️☘️
I visited Ireland, Dublin to be exact, in 2016 and truly I'm still not over it....the version of this song from Boardwalk Empire absolutely kills me every single time I listen to it. Love from an Arizona desert.
I live just down the road a bit from Carrickfergus and Joan Baez has done this wonderful song proud. Bless her. Paddy Reilly does a wonderful version too ☘️💚☘️
When I was a young man over 50 years ago now a beautiful welsh girl called Wendy who we all called Blodwin used to sing this to me over the phone. Never forget the times and the memories of your youth.
Joan, your sumptuous, sweet voice has been with me for over 40 years. At the twilight of my life, your voice is still on my path and transports me with joy.. Thank you Joan for all the little joys in life!
With me for 58 years! Incredible woman. Had the privilege of seeing her during her 'Farewell Tour' at Birmingham in England. I never tire of hearing her voice
I love the more traditional Irish versions ... but the longer I listened, the more her BEAUTIFUL voice won me over. Now, this will be one of my favourites!
Yeah, Joan can certainly do that. Loved her since the Diamonds and Rust album (WAY back in the mid '70's). Joanie you keep on singing forever, at least, as far as I am concerned. Love you, Joan! 😃
Time has been good to her. She has just kept getting better looking. I wasn't able to see her perform until recently. What a delightful surprise. Beautiful woman, beautiful voice!
I've had the privilege of communicating with Joan after I left a Dominican convent in 1967 (former Sr. M. Carita, O.P.). I was inspired by her in the 1960's before I went to college in 1961 at age 17, & I was delighted that she read my fan mail, & also that her mother "Big Joan" got in touch with me after I left the convent and was teaching at Moreau High School in Hayward, CA. My students were very influenced by Joan's dedication to peace and were happy to hear about her from me. I had a very popular course at the high school, which was about lyrics in America & key influences on contemporary music. Big Joan actually gave me some information for one of my students who needed an agent to help him & his musical group get started on the "Top 40." He did get on the Top 40 with help from Big Joan. I attended many of Joan's concerts in California in the 1970's and was happy to have her recognize me & give me a hug. I believe her dedication to human rights and her contribution to music by introducing Child ballads and Bob Dylan's songs to the public will go down in history as major contributions to the highly effective genre of anti-war protest songs, as well as Joan's beautiful renderings of the English Child Ballads.
Once again I hear Joan, sing this beautiful Irish Ballad with her pitch perfect voice, she still has the voice of an angel, a consummate Professional, been in love with her since 1962! Pilgrimtraveler ( North Wales)
James Unsworth ... me too, I don’t know how I will feel when she departs, I’ve loved her forever. Used to have my hair the same and walk around London with my guitar. I will be devastated.😢
Joan Baez, voice of an Angel, beautiful, talented, Social Activist. I have loved her, along with legions of other guys, since the " Heady Days" of the 60s
This is a beautiful song one of my favourite songs of all time Joan you done a great job on this fantastic song I love it so much Thank you for a magnificent creation love from huggie2love
I'm in raptures over most versions. More wonderful with now knowing my forebears resided in the castle way way back for a while. To have lived and loved amongst such beauteous people's, salute !
Joan, long time fan of yours. I first heard this song by Paddy Reilly. He sings the most beautiful folk and patriotic Irish songs. You would love him. Your rendition is lovely.
For some reason this says Thomas Kehoe. This is Kathy Kehoe, his wife. When I was in my teens and in my early 20s I was so in love with her I wanted to BE her. This makes me cry. It is so much like one of my very favorite songs, "The Water Is Wide". I played the guitar and sang in a soprano voice when I was young. I could never sound as beautiful as Joan did and does. My oldest son Benjamin, who will be fifty this year, appreciates Joan Baez and the folk music of the 60s and that touches me.
Joan, I have always loved yr gorgeous voice & music since I was 17 yrs you still sing like an Angel it s wonderful. You always fought 4 the poor & deprived ppl on this
The year I was born... 1st January 1989... I love her so much I saw her live in Lisbon with my mum and it was to date the grestest night we had together!!!!!!
Being from Belfast about 10 miles from Carrickfergus, I've heard this ballad 100s of times but never as beautifully sung like this. And pronounced with Spanish pronunciation ☘
@@johncherry2205 Joan Baez' father was born in Mexico, thus the Spanish surname, but she was born and grew up in the United States speaking only English. She sings very well indeed in Spanish, with only a trace of accent, but she learned this as an adult. I believe her pronunciation of "Carrickfergus" in her introduction was an attempt to sound authentic that did not quite succeed.
@@alanlambson828 Exactly....its hard for most non connected Americans to distinguish between Irish and UK accents...I'm American.. Irish father English mother and Scottish grandmother ....Great great grandfather from Galecia Spain...but I did live in Ireland and UK for 9 years between the ages of 14 and 23 ...1980 to 1989... So I'm quite in tune with the culture and accents Bottom line....she meant well ...and it was lovely to hear her sing an Irish Ballad so well
I have always loved Joan Baez music as all of her music is so beautiful . This song was so beautiful as all the of her music is and it made me cry as her song i shall be released . Be blessed always . 🌹💖💖🎉

Come on iam from Carrick and this must be the worst version ever.
Allison Moorer does a very good job, also. Check her out
try Loreena McKennitt's
Hard to top the ones by Allison Moorer and Loudon Wainwright III, in my opinion . . .
Ireland !! A small country, but, A huge impact on anyone who discovers this wonderful country and his people.
I’m 65 my one regret is never having seen her perform. she,being principled, refused to perform in South Africa where I was born. Have always loved Joan a beautiful person within and without.
Wow beautiful guitar and vocals haunting greetings from Eire,

Brought tears as she sounds so much like my sister, who passed three years ago this month.
A really beautiful version of this Irish classic. She has tremendous talent and voice.
A beautiful Irish love song and sung by a Lady of class
You got that right!!

What a beautiful ballad, making this mick tear up at the beauty of her pure crystalline voice.
What an incredible rendition...I have always been a Joan Baez lover since age 9!
I can beat that :) Apparently as a baby, her Vol 2 LP would always soothe me. Still love her voice and delighted to hear her sing this beautiful song

I also have been a big fan of her , since I was 14 years of age my favourite song was The long Black Veil. Her voice is amazing. Love her.

As an Irish man, i love this song but I truly love Joan baez's unique version. ..amazing 💚💚💚
I was just thinking i need to find a man who likes this song 😅❤(im Norwegian but we are similar to the Irish i think 😊)

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Shivers down my spine.i have always loved the quality in the voice of Joan Baez. When she sings this song , i am transported.
Me either .
Absolute legend of a singer. Can't believe she sang this song. Brilliant.
As a Irish man this is a magic version of a beautiful song that I grew up listening to.. Thanks so much Joan xxx

Worse version I,ve heard..bring back the Dubliners..
Beautiful song and possibly the best rendition ever.
Definitely the best!
Alison Mohrer’s version can’t be topped, even by Joan. Especially since Joan pronounced it as if it is Scottish. 😮

La canción es preciosa y Joan Baez la canta maravillosamente.
Being from Belfast about 10 miles from Carrickfergus, I've heard this ballad 100s of times but never as beautifully sung like this.
And pronounced with Spanish pronunciation ☘
Introduced with a Scottish Accent
Don't think it is Spanish but Scots Irish
@@judgedredd3568 definitely Spanish accent as she is Mexican
@@johncherry2205 Joan Baez' father was born in Mexico, thus the Spanish surname, but she was born and grew up in the United States speaking only English.
