He's not the best vocalist I've ever heard but also ı heard so less voice to give us the "feelings " like he does. It's like magic in his voice. Maybe aura or the all his lyrics and style. He Hope he's resting in peace 🙏 I could want so much to see him or one of his works alive. ❤

"Never made a successful singing career"? Idiot. Jesus...

In my opinion, by far the best part of the song is the repeated refrain about "retuning the piano". Here I think Ochs' attempts to recalibrate his perspective and personal role in this thing amidst the chaos. It's both a metaphor for artistic creation and a coping mechanism for the absurdities of life and politics.

It is always said that Phil Ochs wrote his own eulogy with 'When I'm Gone'. I disagree. 'When I'm Gone', I think, is an optimistic song about making the most of life. I think 'Crucifixion' is Phil's eulogy song, and I think he wrote it because he related to figures like JFK and MLK. He became a folksinger to spread his political message, and was a well respected Greenwich Village folksinger (even today Paxton and others still talk very fondly of him). He had a strong desire to redeem the world, especially the US, his 'hopelessly hard' challenge. However, he was destined to ultimately fail, due to the fact that 'ignorance is everywhere' , and due to his hereditary bipolar. Just like JFK or MLK, he had a tragic death following a long decline in the '70s, and it was partly caused by a campaign of fear against him from the likes of the FBI. Wether that was real or perceived, he succumbed to the forces of evil and ignorance. Since his tragic death, he has become somewhat of a martyr in the folk community, remembered for his nobility and relentless fight for justice, and for his tragic final years abd death, which people unfortunately tend to hone in on. As Ochs said, 'The Crucifixion' is about Jesus Christ, MLK, JFK and, to an extent, Bob Dylan. But, it is also about Victor Jara, it is about Woody Guthrie, it is about Joe Hill, and, it is about Phil Ochs.

I first heard this song over 50 years ago. It's as timeless now as it was from its beginning. It's a real shame that it's not better known.

This is my favourite poem

I'm voting for Pigasus

Great deskiption of the deepstate ecesses throug thogh decades in US

Be nice to find the same clips without the graphics.

Dylan was envious of Phil imo...... but Phil loved Bob imo..... think about it!! That taxi ride, Bob's refusal to allow Phil on tour when he needed help. Bob wanted the fame, Phil wanted to change the world for the better imo! Waddya think??

Ochs visited Gordon Lightfoot in Toronto in the fall of 1964 and performed this song (which he was still working on). Lightfoot liked it so much he included several verses on his first album -- recorded in NYC December 1964, but not released until early '66. Ochs added more verses in the following months as his marriage fell apart and he separated from his wife. He finally recorded it on a live album released in March '66.

To be honest, in retrospective, this does feel like Positively 4th Street may have very likely been about Phil, considering it's about West 4th Street in Greenwich Village, a scene which he was prominent in.

I have only found the Everly Brothers’ version in the last year, and now this swoops in and takes the crown.

Dylan? Is that you Joan Baez??? Shhhhhhhhhhhhh... Phil Ochs is singing. We'll gladly listen to Quinn the Eskimo later, it just ain't my cup of meat.

Where was this recorded ?

I always love him. ❤

I've always loved Ian & Sylvia's cover of "Changes" on the album "Play One More." David Rea contributes some beautiful acoustic guitar.

I keep trying to think of a sweeter, sadder, better song than "Changes," but I get nowhere.

Once I was young and impulsive I wore every conceivable pin Even went to the socialist meetings Learned all the old union hymns But I've grown older and wiser And that's why I'm turning you in So love me, love me, love me, I'm a liberal

Does anyone else hear the very short comment and rage about Bobby,,, I did,,,

Una muy.buena cancion.

1940s style

Does footage of this concert exist?

Jim Steinman used the 'turn around bright eyes' line on 2 songs 'Total Eclipse of the heart' and what became 'Skull of your country ' as seen on Meatloaf album Braver than we are, only part of the original song was used, but Jim was notorious for reusing lyrics in different songs and sometimes use them several times

Awesome!

Wow interesting

The build-up to the bridge at 4:18 made my hair stand up. Brilliant!

Too bad the volume is low on your channel. I guess these are live and taped? from California

This is hilarious great listening to phil in the playful boisterous mood, listen to his (1970 Live) ‘Gunfight at Carnegie Hall’ (wearing a golden suit) Album especially ‘Okie from Muskogee’ it’s unbelievable does some marvellous Elvis covers also, in fact it’s my favourite Phil Ochs Album, check it out you’ll be amazed I was anyway!.

Egal wie unbedeutend andere Menschen das Schaffenswerk von Jim Steinman einstufen, für mich war, ist und bleibt er der größte Schöpfer und alleiniger Vater aller wertvollen Rockhymnen. In jedem seiner Songs, sehe ich wie im Traum, einen wahren Helden wie Braveheart, allein und nur mit der standhaft flatternden, schon halb zerrissenen und blutverschmierten Standarte seiner Heimat bewaffnet, dem schier endlosem Meer aus Feinden, furchtlos entgegen rennen, um in dieser letzten, alles entscheidenen Schlacht für die wahre Liebe und Freiheit, sein Leben zu opfern! Und ähnlich dem Bild von Mufassa zu Simba:"immer wenn du dich einsam fühlst, dann sieh zu den Sternen und du wirst mich in ihnen finden!"

Si quieren ver el resto del concierto Esta en bilibili! Esta recuperado parcialmenye aun falta algunas pistas pero ahi pueden verlo

Noooo, borraron los otros Ya no porfavor ya no

Hello: Could someone please help me with the lyrics of these two songs: “All By Yourself” and “All My Life”? I don't speak English very well and Rory Dodd has a very nice voice. I hope you can help me. Thank you!

Phil the greatest.

Any information on where this was?

As a kid saw her at central park Schaefer music festival, i took notice 4ever

In the moment (a.k.a. eternity), with "original mind" as everything should be! If you halter, or make a mistake, just keep going! "There's no time THAN the present!". And it's always now. If one wants to watch a play, the best performance will be the "Dress Rehearsal". The first time in front of an audience; actors hate it, but it's the most real. Raw as life is. Put your head in the "mouth of the lion" (the present moment) and you'll get something!!! Lol!

I like this MUCH more than the album version! Thanx! There's a very similar version, also from 1965, that was posted more recently. Almost indistinguishable from this version, aside from the spoken intro.

I think that when his voice was destroyed, he lost everything he cared about. So he hanged himself at 36.

The biggest loss to music are those who do not know or appreciate Phil Ochs. A gateway to hearing songwriting as deeply as it can possibly be heard.

Thank you for this golden, unappreciated video.

Masterpiece ❤

What does he sing in the first verse? You got a lot of goal (?) to say you are my pal (?)

Great rendition! Thnx 🙏

Congratulations, my friend. Great song, beutiful Phil Ochs.

This song which had its contemporary reference to the deaths of JFK, MLK, RFK, and others by assassination in the 1960's and early 1970's (while acknowledging the similar termination of Lincoln and others throughout history) now has a meaning beyond literal killing of those who would seek that "challenge that is hopelessly hard" in making humanity better...the weapons many use now is political opinion making and social media in all its forms.
