It's lovely how the audience doesn't feel obligated to constantly applaud or laugh. Such a refreshing change. In America, everything has to be applause-worthy or funny. It degrades dialogue.
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?
This is what happens when a good interviewer is given time to have a civilised discussion with a great star. So much more worthwhile than the usual US format.
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!
Besides Joan's extraordinary musical career and legacy, I've always LOVED her sense of humor and her self-awareness and the ability to be honest about herself and her life. BRAVA, Joan!
This is seriously the best talk show I’ve ever seen. As an American, it’s amazingly refreshing.
I liked Joan Baez when she was a young, talented and outspoken kid. Nothing has changed.
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?
What an amazing show! I want to move to Scandinavia! Not one guest interrupted her, the panel actually listened, and she was free to answer excellent questions in an aura of patience. I live in Canada, we are supposed to be polite, but I am interrupted continuously. Joan probably had her best interview experience ever! Dylan ultimately came up but the kind interviewer did not harp on it. Simply amazing clip! Also, the host was kind, had a smile always, and just let her speak. the world should take note.
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.

If people are unable to see the beauty, the intelligence and the grace of this icon who is our Joan Baez, then they are blind and deaf. Wait until you are in your 70s, and are able to look back at the history of the USA or even some other country's history, then, maybe then, you might just appreciate what a female can do in this little world of ours. Good interview and I always enjoy the respect given to those being interviewed. I'm old enough to remember much and to respect a fearless voice in a time of turmoil.
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.
I love the peacefullness around the circle, my just so calm.
JayJay ChaDoy They'd make a terrific audience at a comedy club!
Such a beautiful woman in every aspect - then and now still.....
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.
This woman has been one of my favorites, for decades. I consider her one of the best. The honesty and integrity! Awesome, in the best sense of the word.
I am 65.
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.
Wow! This is like an actual talk show. They actually get to TALK!
And the other guests are actually listening and staying quiet unless directly addressed. It's almost like they still know the ancient art of conversation!
I loved this interview with Joan Baez. I loved it so much I forgot about how much pain I’m in. Thank you for posting this.
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.
I've never seen anyone wear 77 as well as she does.
yes and not at all plastic.
emmylou harris
Her dad was MEXICAN, so nonwhites DO age better.
I saw a recent interview where she said shes already starting practicing being 80 so that when it comes, she'll be ready...I thought that was unbelievably sweet
she's yummy, but [Jane]Fonda is right there with her.
Joan Baez...
My idol and icon..💖
The most appealing spirited rebel of her times..
What a singer..!
And a guitarist..!
What a beauty...
I can never forget her Billy Rose, Night they drove old dixie down, Bangladesh, Dida
Diamonds and Rust...
Unforgettable...🌿🌺
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.
I'm ashamed to say this, but I have only recently really discovered Joan Baez, when I heard her sing 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands', but better late than never. She is quite a lady, the type of person one would love to have a conversation with. It would never be boring!!
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. ua-cam.com/video/xDOHGl3DiiM/v-deo.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.
Beautiful my first concert in New Zealand 🇳🇿 never forget being in the audience singing away to amazing grace with Joan, everyone was like in a trance , absolutely amazing,,,, good to see joan looking so well on u tube, truly inspirational,,, thank you
I like that she's growing old with Grace no plastic surgery etc I respect women like her
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.
I have admired her and loved her music for her whole career. Her love of freedom has been an inspiration for so many. Bravo!!!
Legendary performer and she has aged beautifully, have always been a massive fan
Imagine if Bob Dylan grew up as a millennial having all these demons on him. Wouldn't last.
One of my favorite people ever. A treasure.
Nope, she's a robot. Don't care but could act like it. Thank AI
She's living proof of the saying that you get the face you deserve after 40. She's so serene and peaceful and full of grace.
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.
@@TrailDancer 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.
My favourite female singer. She looks amazing for her age
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.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful interview. I'm only 71, and Joan Baez has been a hero of mine for a long time. She is amazing.
I've been buying her records (we called them 'records' back then & used a turn table) since high school. She's still relevant, still amazing.
Joan Baez is an absolute American treasure who belongs to the world and has
the voice of an angel.
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.
Diamonds and Rust , one of my favorites.
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.
She is such a wise, natural and vivid.I adore J.B.
Joan Baez is so caring and gracious. Her talent and voice will last forever! Thank you from our hearts.
She still is the incarnation of Love & Peace-Power, getting wise now. And its not only the music and the text, its her clear emotional voice, like an angel. My mother always said, she's got the most beautiful voice in the world. And my mother knows, because she was an angel herself, going home last year 🙏 💝
What a fantastic interview - wonderful interviewee and interviewer. I’ve never seen this man before. Am subscribing to his channel right now
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 ☘.
She looks great for her age, and seems very cool. I never really cared too much for her but the older I get the more I appreciate people like her.
Miketrt What people like her, may I enquire? I see her as unique.
I did in fact enjoy the clip. thanks so much for posting it.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Skavlan your very welcome 👍
missed the opportunity to talk about her paintings. she is an incredibly gifted artist! her canvases are amazing!
Another GREAT stress free interview.
Great lady. The one thing that always irks me is that she never got the credit she deserved as a songwriter. My twp personal favorites are "Sweet Sir Galahad," and "Outside the Nashville City Limits." If you are not familiar with these two songs, give them a listen.
Love Joan Baez! She is one of the smartest, most courageous and most talented Americans.
Stunning person! I recently heard her perform - all I wanted was to be in the same space as her. What a gift to us all!
Joan ❤ A wonderful person and singer. I have so much respect for her.
Loved her then, love her now!! What an icon!
My eyes tear up when I see this brilliant wonderful woman.
Me too..
I keep watching this particular clip over and over because it’s so real. I love this🌺 woman but I love this program as well. So intelligent, so thought-provoking!
Ive seen a few people interviewed now on Scavaln, it has a good amount of depth and charm. Thank you
Thank you, Joan, for representing us on the world stage 🏆 Standing up for human rights 🌹
I'm in my early 50s and some of my earliest memories are of my mother harmonizing with Joan Baez on the record player. According to my mother, Silver Dagger was my favorite lullaby because it was the song that put me to sleep the quickest.
Will Dwyer What a lovely early memory to have!
JOAN BAEZ, BEAUTIFUL WOMAN AND BEAUTIFUL PERSON.
There But For Fortune by Joan in 1965 was the best. She was such an icon of my college friends when she was a number one folk singer. Great era, never to be duplicated again..ever.
Phil Ochs wrote that one!
@@doriangray_1999 Yep, I remember it well.
77? As a 33 yr old I have no problem saying she's beautiful. Lovely character too.
Btw I'm 34 and been mesmerized by her for so long.
Joan you are an amazingly wonderful person in every regard. Thank you for sharing your talent and your kind heart.
'Love the sparkle in her eye..
She's aged very gracefully. Undoubtedly a byproduct of having found one's niche in life. Once a classic always a classic.
I really did enjoy the clip, a fascinsting insight into the life of a living legend......great interview and questions, refreshing and honest......would like to have heard the song as well
I had the great pleasure to meet and have the briefest of chats with Ms Baez a few decades ago when she was in town for a show later that night. She was so nice and sweet. I asked if I could take photos during the show with no flash. She said yes! I used my dad's 1964 Yashika 35mm from the front row of a small music hall using 1000 speed film. Great photos. She autographed my concert flyer after the show. What a night of a lifetime!
A very mature woman who has always cultivated sound principles!
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.
Saw Joan perform in L.A. CA, she was amazing, her voice so beautiful.
„Forever Young“ indeed...
First song that came to my mind when I saw her here, at 77 !!!
Joan, we need you back, we gotta raise-up the Angels again and march for Peace!
I actually love her. I’ve always thought guys who like older women are fuckin weird but I think if I met her in real life I’d be smitten. We need more people like Joan
This Lady - one of the best singers ever - has always been in my life as a musician - in the 1960s / 70s when I was a teenager - up to now - being a grandmother ... Her songs were / are always there ...
So nice to see her on this talk show , where everybody is respectful .
Greetings from Germany ! 🌻
The incomparable Joan Baez, forever in debt for the inspiration her music provided to many of us. Stay healthy and amazing!
What an interesting and intelligent conversation. Everyone listens to one another without interrupting with the joke. That doesn’t happen in America. It’s so refreshing to see this.
Love this performer.. she's just not a pretty face... she has substance...
Well that’s incredibly obvious she’s known as a serious artist.
My cousin gave her one of her first jobs at the Cafe Yanna Coffee House in Boston in early Sixties.
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.
Long time fan of Joans. I think I was only like 11 yrs old when I discovered her. Im now going on 60 yrs old lol. Many long years and she still is as real as always and has never sold out to the industry or Hollywood. A rare diamond!
I saw Bob in Cork City Ireland in 2014 and he surprised me by giving a perfect appearance! I had heard rumors he wasnt so great anymore, but he was great! Now he will be performing in the very near future very close to where I live. He will be performing Muncie Indiana this Fall. I will have to miss it im having another hip replacement surgery around the time of his concert. Lol but thats ok because it was far cooler getting to see him in Cork, Ireland anyway 😅
Beautiful Joan my favorite singer and activists.
Did she stop being an anti-war activist? She praised Obama. I guess the mainstream media protected him well.
She has always been a class act. Loved her music. She looks wonderful for 77. Bless you!
This is such a wonderful talk show and a wonderful host. I saw Patti Smith interviewed on this show. Actual conversations and spending time allowing the guest to actually speak is such a refreshing change from shows in the US.
Fantastic interview, an interview in which the guest is allowed to speak.
What an amazing person - so much content in her
Going to see her in Sarajevo March 31. :)
Me too!
this californian says hello to bosnian cousins and comrades !
Saw Joan Baez in L.A. several years ago. Was very nice seeing her perform.
I seen her in concert in the 60's at Bristol Colston Hall, and for about 2 hours it was just her on stage with a guitar, a microphone, a stool, and a glass of water. And she was just brilliant, and she looked gorgeous in a lilac dress with her long black hair.
She’s being very polite acknowledging everyone in the circle making sure to speak to the girl to her right.
Manners maketh (wo)man 🤝
The way she speaks of her younger self in the third person is quite haunting.
She appeared right in front of me, smiling, when I was working in a store in Half Moon Bay in the late 1990s. She was stunningly beautiful. Photos and film had not done her justice.
Would like to watch the whole show , very interesting and entertaining .
I love Joan so much
She also sang with Mercedes Sosa in Argentina, Joan is an Hero.
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
She was like my dream girl. Great musician, intense and brooding, over-the-top.
Would have loved to hear the song, but the interview was really lovely!
They posted it separately. Here’s a link:

Belle interview! Merci ❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting!
A delightful interview.
the interviewer looked at her in such kind/impressed way when she told about singing in he shelter. i'd look at her like that to if i had such opportunity... she's an inspiration.
A marvelous human being by any and all standards of measure. Thankyou.
Leyendo la historia de esta dama, he quedado impresionado por sus incontables anécdotas y la solidez de sus convicciones. Dylan NO la supo valorar: Él tenía y tiene su autoestima muy inflada.
She looks great! Love her!
I remember 50 years ago, when I lived near La Honda in the Bay Area, driving by Baez' home which was right off the side of the road... it was gorgeous and I always wished I could meet her in person and live in a house like hers. Really, she's a wonderful person and a modern-day saint. She has shown this over and over again.
As other commenters below have already mentioned, this Scandinavian interview was refreshing and so different from comparable events in the US....why can't we do this as well?
We used to. Shows like Dick Cavette, Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin and even Mike Douglas wasn’t bad. Larry King was also not bad.
Damn - I wanted to see her perform that song! Will you upload that part of her interview?
Hi Amy, thanks for watching! The song is now uploaded here: ua-cam.com/video/YGidGXO_Cus/v-deo.html& Enjoy! :-)
Wow, thoroughly civilised sane conversations for a change, not the hit and run american style.
When I saw her sing and play guitar, Diamonds and Rust, I knew she is a special person.
When I met her I was 16 and she was 36 years old. It was at a concert in Alicante, Spain. I had just bought an album from her, Farewell, Angelina. Since then I am in love with her. Every time I watch a video of her or listen to her voice I get excited. I will never forgive you for living so far away from me, I will never forgive you for being 20 years older than me, I will never forgive you for not crossing my street, I will never forgive you for not being able to smell your hair ... never, but I can not stop loving you . Your eyes, your lips, your smile ... your way of understanding life, your songs, your lyrics ... your life. How I would have liked to be part of your life. You are beautiful on the outside and inside. I love you. I love you so much.
Beautiful wonderful Joan...we still love you
What a lovely Joan Baez, she's 77!!! We need more Joan Baez' in the world.
Marco Kropp More Joan Baezes. Yup.
I gave her a gift at a concert and she gave a lovely kiss!
Her honesty is remarkable.
Wow..as she was talking about activism and talent/energy in the 60's, my mind went to the students speaking out right now for guncontrol, and she immediately went there. She's obviously still very much engaged and a true rolemodel imo :)
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.
Thank you for sharing. She's an amazing lady. 😷💕
Joan, I met you in NYC, in the Village. You were with Judy Collins and I'm afraid I don't remember exactly the moment but you were wonderful; very clear and easy to be with...We are about the same age and you look fabulous...love, Jack Baker NYC/NJ
Joan Baez, I am and always will be a huge fan no matter how your voice is behaving. You are always amazing.
Wow 77 she is amaizingly healthy and still beautiful.
My mean dad found our 60s albums and threw them out the window. Smash hits lol.. I forgive him.
Love you Joni!! Always fabulous, serious or not!
