Dam this takes me back - in my 70's now and this brings a tear to my eye; how youth is lost on the young! My mind is still young, my memories fresh, the body is weak. Joan was so inspiring and her voice was like that of an angel. thank you for the wonderful memories.
Joanie was my first crush, her social comment opened my mind and heart...60 yrs later she is still my unrequited love and brings a tear to the eye when I hear her sing
I’m in my late 60’s so I also have more miles behind than in front. Youth is not wasted or lost on the young, I don’t think. It just takes its absence to be fully appreciated. Joan was and is an inspirational person with a heavenly voice!
Nobody who never listened to Joan Baez before is prepared for that voice. Joans voice is so incredibly clear and soft, yet it hits you like a hammer when you hear it for the first time. It still gives me goosebumps after all these years.
If it weren't for UA-cam I'd still be in the dark, hidden from the privilege of hearing Joan Baez's voice. Thank you for the upload and for further expanding my collection of music.
I'm also a collector of old music Can u send me some links Of old songs I have collection of old English Old Tamil old Bengali and few Spanish and french songs And other old instrumental complex music from around the globe
A lot of Joan's early folk music recordings were of Child ballads, a collection of over 300 English and Scottish traditional ballads and their American variants that were anthologized by Francis James Child in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Her mother was born in Scotland and her father in Mexico, so she heard a lot of European and Latin American folk music in her youth.
The song was written by railway construction workers and became a folk sensation. It came to limelight in the music industry with the original covers later... However, the beauty of the song is not just in the haunting melody but the 500 miles symbolizes so much more than just a journey it a place away from home.. It's the loss and sadness if being separated from the supreme being... It is an echo of the pain every person feels when away from home. It is a song that invariably, particularly with Joan's voice accompanied with her shy smile never fails to bring tears... That that are a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time...Joan, you're so beautiful and your singing so angelic that I can just feel blessed seeing and hearing you. You're cleared and thank you for blessing is with your renditions..
Hedy West wrote this song... I learned it from my amazing girl scout camp leaders... already a folk song. Look her up, she is the real deal. Joanie's voice is pure gold.
Thank you for sharing this background, Em. It helps me understand just why this song, out of all the countless ones I saw in concert during the 60s, is such a standout ... for its honesty and purity of integrity. It indeed speaks to the universal human condition, of yearning for our Heavenly home! This is a classic - and you've helped me know why! Bravo and thank you!!!
'a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time' spot on, all the best music has this factor imo, and there's a lot of it to be found in renditions of country, blues and other folk music
My dad used to sing this to me as a kid. He was really young when he left his parents to study abroad before he and my mom brought our family to the US and I remember as a kid thinking that my dad wrote this song because of how much he would sing it and how it related to his life that he would tell us about any chance he got. This song really brings back memories that I nearly forgot and I’m sure my dad will eventually forget too but for now I’m glad we got to share memories this song brings us.
I miss my childhood when my music teacher used to sing this song 😢 wish i could turn back time to those beautiful days no internet no smart phones just beautiful dayss
Have you heard her rendition of House of the Rising Sun? Her singing there is the most beautiful I've ever heard. But it makes the song almost too painful to appreciate.
Joan is the reason I went to Woodstock. I wanted to hear her sing this song live. Now this beautiful song is my deceased son, Paul, singing it to me from 500 Miles away.
Everything is so genuine and raw ...the audience has no phones or camera to get themselves distracted, but where all 100% engaged..so unlike today! So touching😥.
my mother loved Joan too. Wish I'd played some of Joan's music before she passed. Still miss her. I'm not certain, but I think we may have seen her live when I was little. A shame I was too young to appreciate it.
@@recoveringsoul755 I really wish u all the strength you'll ever need in life and hope that you can maybe see her again one day. Greetings from Germany
I feel privileged to be alive. If I weren't, how would I have heard Joan Baez? Her voice seems to be coming from heavens, each note like a raindrop, her breath like breeze.
Da-nos a impressão de que ela se basta a si propria, cantando...sua voz e um violão. Seu magnético encantamento nos leva a flutuar em poucos minutos de nostalgia...incomparável JB!
I am over 70 and was lucky that I lived in the sixties and fell in love with rock and roll, those were the days yet with very sweet memories plus lots of beautiful music with meaningful. thanks.
Heard this song 50 years ago. Today hearing it again (the LPs, CDs, DVDs are long gone). Baez is as beautiful and relevant, maybe more, than ever. Proof of the everlasting presence of how we feel and express from the heart. Joan, may you and your songs live forever in the hearts of humankind.
You shaped generations with your music and your courage. Thank you. Unfortunately, many has seemed to have forgotten your philosophy of peace and justice. I am lucky to say I have not and still use your music to inspire and motivate me to continue to fight for what is right. Bless you Joan!
@@remojacob8016 Ah yes ... that indeed is the right question, Remo! Be receptive rather than presume to say what it is, and God will send you the answer ... when you're not expecting it! It happened just that way to me. But I couldn't "figure out" what was right - that was quite beyond me. Receiving wisdom, answers ... that's where it comes.

I'm Indian .. my english teacher sing this song for us and teaches us when I'm in 3rd standard 🤗now I'm in my master's and suddenly find the archives related to the song. ...reminds me of good old days
When I was 20 years old, I had a chance to stay inn the U.S. My room mate, Debbie used to sing Joan Baez' songs,I t was a sort of culture shock at that time but still now ,75 of age, her songs returns to my mind again. I would like to sing songs a again , now ,when we human is facing war here and there. yasuko
This video gives me the chills for some reason.. Such a beautiful rendition of Hedy's 500 Miles. And not to mention, Joan looks absolutely gorgeous here. :-) I'm glad she's still touring, singing, and inspiring.
I was a huge Joan Baez fan back in the 60s, I had all her albums and would sit in my room listening to her songs for hours on end. She had the perfect voice for folk music, it was almost like a mystical magic how her singing captured the dark corners of my soul. I got the chance to see Dylan in concert in 1965, I only wish I had the opportunity to see a Joan Baez concert in person... That would've been my finest hour.
I saw her twice. Once at the Chicago Auditorium with no amplification and we were up in the nose bleed section. It was like she was sitting next to me . Crystal clear beautiful voice.
My parents used to play her albums on a long play record machine, and I growp up listening to her songs. Incredible voice and honest performances, God bless Joan!!
@@harleyquiinnnn I try my best to explain. In those tough times (1960s'), folk songs were "good medicine" for the souls of people. To my knowledge, she, Joan Baez, was one of the “ stars" at that time. "Her contemporary folk music often includes songs of protest or social justice." (quoted from the web). Still, she cares about her country for the present time. I don't know whether there is anyone like her in the “ singing industry worldwide" nowadays. So, I said she was the gift for the generation of 1960s.
This is possibly the first English song I ever heard - my kindergarten teacher sang this song in class during day 2 or 3 in school. My 3-yr old heart and brain couldn’t process how i felt listening to this, but yeah, it did make me imagine a lonely traveller on the road..my first experience of “bittersweet” emotions, I’m sure
Thank you You Tube. I had forgotten a lot of the old songs and singers without you. Who ever came up with the ideal off You Tube. thank you so very much.
it's fathers day... joan baez was my fathers favorite musician. when i started playing the guitar, he always told me how she taught herself. he died of cancer 4 years ago, when i was 15. now i'm twenty. i can't buy my father a "best dad" mug today but i can listen to this and think of him
Que voz linda possui Joan Baez! De quantas nuances sua voz é capaz! É impressionante! Uma das maiores cantoras de que o mundo já teve notícia. E ela continua na ativa até hoje. Que bom !!!
One day my mom showed me this video, and that was the day I met with Joan Baez. Thank you mom, for introducing me this wonderful woman, may you live long and forever.
My goodness, i just love Joan.... So beautiful, so full of grace and compassion...i wish i had known a woman like her in my life... Bless you Joan for sharing your music with us all... Love
The perfect voice for her generation. I idolized this woman in the sixties. I can't think of anyone today who captures the spirit of the times as she did.
What a beautiful song this is. And very beautiful singer she is. Thank you very much nice song. I'm 64 years old, japanese. Have a nice day. 2021.3.31 Today is cloudy. But i'm so happy.
ohh this song bring tears to my eyes, i used to travel a lot back then, always on road, from cities to cities, from towns to towns, just with a backpack, and i was stay whispering this song on the road.
I lived in Glasgow for a little over a year Back in 2014 for my postgraduate studies. I don’t know what connection keeps pulling me to Scotland . I feel a certain sense of patriotism which I don’t think I ever felt for my own country. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country. But I breath in the memories of Scotland and everything I experienced there. Scotland made me feel so accepted. It’s been 10 years since, and every time my throws tough times at me I close my eyes and think of my days in Scotland and everything gets better . I love Scotland 🏴 the land of the brave.
+George Vreeland Hill i am so happy that you say "one of the best...." we are so fortunate to be able to access many versions of great songs and singers and in most cases there aren't definitive versions.... and for the record I do think she has a wonderful voice...
I've been a fan of Ms. Baez for 60 years. I remember how she started out singing traditional folk songs. This is one of my favorite songs by her, the haunting quality of her voice is just perfect!!
pain goes in heart when you listen to this song while you are struggling in foreign country specially as a student....): (Work, empty stomach, study...still hoping to accomplish in life.
if you miss the train i'm on you will know that i am gone, you can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, a hundred miles,a hundred miles... Lord i can't go on this way...
+flip benzoni Well I'm walking down this track I've got tears in my eyes. Trying to read a letter from my home. And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night Now I'm 500 miles away from home.
Joan Baez is a rare occasion in the history of the entire span of recorded musical history. Her duet with the late great Marcedes Sosa, singing Gracias a la Vida is an amazing voice battle between to giants.
If you miss the train I'm on you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, A hundred miles, A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles you could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles. Lord I'm one, lord I'm two, lord I'm three, lord I'm four Lord I'm 500 miles from my home 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles Lord I'm 500 miles from my home Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name Lord I can't go on this a-way This a-way This a-way This a-way This a-way Lord I can't go on this a-way If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles A hundred miles You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Thank-you so much for uploading this song...the first one I learned on guitar in the summer of 1962....escaped from NY to CA....Just call me an "old folkie"!!

Today 4th feb 2024 I'm first-ever listening this song & I'm fall in love with this song...❣️
Better late than never brother....

Happy to have you here in Saudi 🌹
Me too today....

Funny I just heard her tonight for the first time in my life. I would say your description is accurate.
True that, sir..
I never knew who she was, first time hearing her here, and agree with you completely. What a a voice.
It's a little lower now but she still sounds really good at 81
This is my first time listening to her and she brought tears to my eyes beautiful
If it weren't for UA-cam I'd still be in the dark, hidden from the privilege of hearing Joan Baez's voice. Thank you for the upload and for further expanding my collection of music.
I'm also a collector of old music
Can u send me some links
Of old songs
I have collection of old English
Old Tamil old Bengali and few Spanish and french songs
And other old instrumental complex music from around the globe
This is fact, I’ve been introduced to bluegrass, Old Blues, Jazz, now I found this. 👍
I have 4 of her first albums. Vinyl. Her voice so pure, and beautiful. I listen to one everyday.
A lot of Joan's early folk music recordings were of Child ballads, a collection of over 300 English and Scottish traditional ballads and their American variants that were anthologized by Francis James Child in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Her mother was born in Scotland and her father in Mexico, so she heard a lot of European and Latin American folk music in her youth.
Heyyy?? How u doinn
Respect! The audience seems to be in a prayer! What a blessing Joan Baez is. Eternal music!
No that is typical of the youth of the sixty. They were not out of control.
@@patstokes7040haha until Beatles come around😁😭
The song is a prayer ... head my dead mum sing it all day... now i get it😭
For those in their teens or early twenties seeing the odd view of the audiences of those times. See any blak faces?
Man, it's incredible just how much emotion someone's voice can carry. Her voice is just too good.
Same here. I got goosebumps man❤❤❤
I am Japanese. So I don't know much English. But this song reminds me of my hometown and old days. I am very happy to know such a wonderful song.
Enjoy It😇
This song is about the misery of railroad workers, but it does communicate to every soul in the world

So eloquently put. Couldn't agree more. I feel equally blessed.
'a mix of sadness and of beauty at the same time, of longing and melancholy along with hope at the same time'
spot on, all the best music has this factor imo, and there's a lot of it to be found in renditions of country, blues and other folk music
She is a most beautiful person: eyes, voice, and soul. I love her.
Every generation produces a very special person, Joan is ours.
One of the most beautiful women to ever exist inside and out
Me too ❤
Immer noch eine tolle Frau
My dad used to sing this to me as a kid.

This version is absolutely beautiful! I am in tears from the emotion in her voice.
Yes she is a deep , soft and powerful singer
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny to my name
Moves me to tears always to hear Joan singing this song.
Touches a melancholic cord in me.
I think these two sentences are the most heart-stirring part of the song,just too helpless and too sorrowful.
Me and Joan locked eyes during a concert she was giving in Tampa in the 90's.She radiated a higher level of consciousness.
There is some sort of healing universality in this woman's voice. The inspiration I have got from her has helped me on so many levels.
In Canada, of course, this song is called 805 kilometres.
😀
you mean rest of the world!
Hahahahaha LoL only fun in the comments.
If they were Irish miles, then you'd know you walked it.
You hilarious bastard...
She is harmonizing with the crowd. What a moment!
My God..her voice can bring anyone to tears...
Me too!
Finally an Indian to understand my disappointment

I would travel 500 miles to see Joan Baez sing her songs.❤
She came here to Dresden, and I l listened to her songs in Kulturpalast
I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more.
Everything is so genuine and raw ...the audience has no phones or camera to get themselves distracted, but where all 100% engaged..so unlike today! So touching😥.
Amen.
I am literally discovering this on my phone ... sigh ... :) the LORD works in myseterious ways.
So true. She comes into view and there's a Wembley type roar, then total silence, total respect. Then the slip of a girl sings... So enchanting.
phone bad book good
Can we all appreciate two things:
1. Her British accent at the beginning
2. How gorgeously polite she is to her audience
I'm guessing she was having fun with the audience, trying to sound like them
3. She sung really well
Yes, that British (well, English) accent surprised me.

I saw her twice. Once at the Chicago Auditorium with no amplification and we were up in the nose bleed section. It was like she was sitting next to me . Crystal clear beautiful voice.

Perfect , no words to explain the peace and comfort I get by listening to this ❤❤❤
That vibrato and vocal range. Jeesh, what music they had way back when.
Indeed. The vibrato is almost perfect, especially in the high pitches. Combined with the deeper background audience, it forms a beautiful composition.
That was and still is her extraordinary range. My God I love her.
You Should Really listen to Lata Mangeshkar songs for vibrato n tunes
Her voice, her eyes, her guitar - they are not just her gifts from God, they are the gifts of her generation.
Could you explain what you mean by the gift of her generation?

@@ngg9715 Thank you for explaining :)
That audience was awesome. Great backup
Their favorite song.
Bourgeois music?
This is possibly the first English song I ever heard - my kindergarten teacher sang this song in class during day 2 or 3 in school. My 3-yr old heart and brain couldn’t process how i felt listening to this, but yeah, it did make me imagine a lonely traveller on the road..my first experience of “bittersweet” emotions, I’m sure
I love the way she sings the harmony line during the second verse..and let's the audience carry the melody. Brilliantly beautiful.

Lovely voice
It is definitely that like your comment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Right now, I am all alone in quarantine in Turkey, and I've never felt more connected to this song.
💕🙏🏼🌸💫

Please let us, you are fine now.
@@ebmserdarak5379 haha, i'm fine now, don't worry. I'm back in my home country
hope you are well!!!!!!!!
Thank you You Tube. I had forgotten a lot of the old songs and singers without you. Who ever came up with the ideal off You Tube. thank you so very much.
Such a beautiful voice, she never really got the recognition she deserved. Beautiful.
This song is what music is meant to be ❤
it's fathers day... joan baez was my fathers favorite musician. when i started playing the guitar, he always told me how she taught herself. he died of cancer 4 years ago, when i was 15. now i'm twenty. i can't buy my father a "best dad" mug today but i can listen to this and think of him
This is so heart felt. Stay strong .
I'm couldn't content my tears.... wow. My aunt used to sing me this exact version as a lullaby when I couldn't sleep... I'm so glad I found this again
I see these words to 500 miles as the growing apart of two people from what was once a beautiful relationship. Intensely moving.
What a divine performance
Que voz linda possui Joan Baez! De quantas nuances sua voz é capaz! É impressionante! Uma das maiores cantoras de que o mundo já teve notícia. E ela continua na ativa até hoje. Que bom !!!
I am one of the audience who are listening her so patiently🥰 sitting there...
the sound of the guitar is quite well matched with Joan's songs which is so beautiful,pure and innocent
One day my mom showed me this video, and that was the day I met with Joan Baez. Thank you mom, for introducing me this wonderful woman, may you live long and forever.
2:46 she's singing with all her heart.
look at the teary eyes.
oh god i-😭
Merci pour ta voix sublime...inoubliable...😍
Have ignored this lady’s talent most my life, thank you you tube for allowing me make up for lost time
This has gotta be the best version I’ve ever heard, and that is saying something
I found that too.
My goodness, i just love Joan.... So beautiful, so full of grace and compassion...i wish i had known a woman like her in my life... Bless you Joan for sharing your music with us all... Love
The perfect voice for her generation. I idolized this woman in the sixties. I can't think of anyone today who captures the spirit of the times as she did.
What a beautiful song this is. And very beautiful singer she is. Thank you very much nice song. I'm 64 years old, japanese. Have a nice day. 2021.3.31 Today is cloudy. But i'm so happy.
Learned and sang this song in grade school, I cried and loved it, Mr Cantrell, Emmett, Idaho, what a beautiful man, God bless him!
Back in old days only people with real talent can be on television show
I think JB has the sweetest singing voice that I've ever heard...Truly
Thank you for putting this up on UA-cam🕊

Eu gostaria de ouvir tudo da Joan....eu ouvi há uns 20 anos atrás e sentia saudade...hoje estou feliz de mais uma vez ouvir
Lord I'm 7,500 miles from home ....
Amazing voice, stunning character, simple but heartfelt words...
11000 miles from home
ohh this song bring tears to my eyes, i used to travel a lot back then, always on road, from cities to cities, from towns to towns, just with a backpack, and i was stay whispering this song on the road.
Wow did you guys see the emotion in her eyes her voice is so beautiful and emotional enough to make anyone cry.
I lived in Glasgow for a little over a year Back in 2014 for my postgraduate studies. I don’t know what connection keeps pulling me to Scotland . I feel a certain sense of patriotism which I don’t think I ever felt for my own country. Don’t get me wrong, I love my country. But I breath in the memories of Scotland and everything I experienced there. Scotland made me feel so accepted. It’s been 10 years since, and every time my throws tough times at me I close my eyes and think of my days in Scotland and everything gets better . I love Scotland 🏴 the land of the brave.
This song has been covered by many singers.
Joan Baez' version is one of the best.
+George Vreeland Hill i am so happy that you say "one of the best...." we are so fortunate to be able to access many versions of great songs and singers and in most cases there aren't definitive versions.... and for the record I do think she has a wonderful voice...
+John London I AM BRAZILIAN..... HAVE YOU EVER HEART WITH THE PROCLAIMERS?
every joan baez songs are one of the bests.
No comparison.
Avis que je partage à 1000 % !
Joan Baez will always be the reigning queen of folk music! A voice that was made in heaven!
Lost my brother this year.... This song is for you Brother 😘
I've been a fan of Ms. Baez for 60 years. I remember how she started out singing traditional folk songs. This is one of my favorite songs by her, the haunting quality of her voice is just perfect!!
pain goes in heart when you listen to this song while you are struggling in foreign country specially as a student....):
(Work, empty stomach, study...still hoping to accomplish in life.
That's just the poor life. That effects everyone bruh
Boy, she has some voice, huh? I remember a friend once saying you can almost "taste" her voice. I agree...
Claudette Preisinger :-))) non comment. A wonderfull Voice

+Claudette Preisinger like she just ate a onion sandwich huh?
if you miss the train i'm on
you will know that i am gone,
you can hear the whistle blow
a hundred miles, a hundred miles,a hundred miles...
Lord i can't go on this way...
+flip benzoni
Well I'm walking down this track
I've got tears in my eyes.
Trying to read a letter from my home.
And if this train runs me right I'll be home next Saturday night
Now I'm 500 miles away from home.
Divine voice from heaven. God welcomes and showers his blessings to the soul away from five hundred miles🌷🌷🌷
How smartly and quickly she tuned her guitar this shows how not just a good singer but she is a good guitarist too
the sound of the guitar with Joan'voices is given like the somewhere... like the fresh air which i can breath in the mountains with lots of trees
Made me cry when I heard it decades ago. Still does.
Joan Baez is a rare occasion in the history of the entire span of recorded musical history. Her duet with the late great Marcedes Sosa, singing Gracias a la Vida is an amazing voice battle between to giants.
The Way All The Spectators Sing along Just Luved It ❤️❤️❤️
If you miss the train I'm on
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles,
A hundred miles,
a hundred miles,
a hundred miles
you could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord I'm one, lord I'm two, lord I'm three, lord I'm four
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home
500 miles,
500 miles,
500 miles,
500 miles
Lord I'm 500 miles from my home
Not a shirt on my back,
not a penny to my name
Lord I can't go on this a-way
This a-way
This a-way
This a-way
This a-way
Lord I can't go on this a-way
If you miss the train I'm on,
you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
A hundred miles
You could hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
Thanks for the lyrics
God Bless You
Superb super innovation creators
Tnx bro
Thanks
Thank-you so much for uploading this song...the first one I learned on guitar in the summer of 1962....escaped from NY to CA....Just call me an "old folkie"!!
Ethereal vocals, I'm relishing the time watching JB's performances that you have kindly shared. Thank you!!

Oh my god.. the eternal pain of human slavery so beautifully expressed by this gem of song and what a god gifted these artists are.. bless you all!!
