This is another absolute treasure! Seems footage of Tim is so rare and hard to come by, even in the internet age. One of my favorite songwriters of all time--thanks for the upload!
genius and brilliant- words nowadays so often used for people who don't deserve it at all- Tim Hardin deserves these qualifications for 100 % and more! He is the best singer & songwriter I know.
Looks to be from the same charming footage as with twiggy (Lady from Baltimore). That's our Twigs at the beginning. Early 70's Twiggy DOES look like misty roses. To those wingeing about imperfect strings, being stoned etc... You remind me of those fat blokes watching sport from the sofa & telling world class athletes how to play. Amazing how Mr Hardin could be OFF HIS GOURD yet deliver transcendental performances. Part of his perfection is the heart & soul in the performance - which has nothing to do with robot like correctness.
I've only heard Colin Blunstone (lead singer of the Zombies) sing this one. The original is great too. You don't hear lyrics like this now just crap like "shorty's got boobies like wow oh wow".
@sohooded i was asking questions, i wasn't giving answers. i wouldn't know enlightenment if it ran over me while i was crossing the street. my one statement was simply that some people's voyeuristic tendency to investigate the private lives of others troubles me. public people don't give up their private lives. their private lives are taken from them. some may want this, and some may not. i judge no one, but certain behavior traits bother me. do you have any useful answers to my questions?
is it only superficial people with no knowledge of musical artistry who make pointless comments about performers rather than their music, or do superficial people with some knowledge of musical artistry make these kind of comments as well? or do some people just have fixations on the habits of others, so they'll have some gossip to share during times of idle chatter with other like-minded individuals? this voyeuristic tendency of some people troubles me. are their own lives so uninteresting?
Tim has created some great songs. But to me, this is not one of them. This really is too melodramatic and whiny to my taste. When it comes to 'ballads of the broken heart', Hang on to a dream is the best song ever written.
What? Why? He sung beautifully? Does being stoned make it bad? Weed ain't that bad when you can still take care of what you gotta and wanna do. Otherwise I don't get what you're talking about.

@@MrRatherino damn that's a whole other ball game, I've seen someone high on smack before, I wouldn't think he'd still be this good at singing since the person I've seen wasn't able to talk particularly well. That's terribly sad...
Saw him in the Village circa 1969. This was beautiful live.
Such a talented and tortured man. He knew pain he was a genius!

mine as well....love
I saw Tim at The Village Vanguard, NY,1971. It was wonderful and indescribable.
this is even more gorgeous than the recording.
Mesmerizing song...brings tears to my eyes, thinking of ever fleeting, impossible love...

Thank you so much for posting this bensico 16!
I never was able to see Tim perform before, I only heard the records.
Tim sings from the heart
One tune I can't get enough of is a John Lee Hooker song he covered with Joe Zawinul on piano called Hoboin'. That is a stone groove. :)
Treasure!! Thanks so much!

his performance of this song at Woodstock is proof of what you say re: heart and soul
This is the most 70s thing I’ve ever seen.
Is that Twiggy on this video?
Great.
I was lucky enough
Unnerving to see Twiggy featured in the first several frames... Serious acid flashback! lol

10 years later and we haven't gotten any further 😂

This is fucking sweet. Was it on TOTP?
At town hall amazing in the 60's before his untimely death

"Tim is very stoned". Hey, what else is new?
StagPreston And Preston is still stupid. What else is new.
Tis OK, but please listen to Jess Roden's version
Who?
The string arrangements are bizarre, they are not even in the right key in places. Kind of ruins it.

thanks not herd this
Jesus..why was he allowed onstage?

I think I see why we are at odds somewhat here...I am referring to his Woodstock performance..
