- This is the video footage of Dave Van Ronk singing "He Was a Friend of Mine" at the Phil Ochs Memorial Concert at Felt Forum in NYC in 1976, a month after Phil's death.
The audio of this performance have been available on UA-cam for years, but I believe this is the first time that the video was uploaded to UA-cam.
UA-cam wouldn't allow me to upload very long videos, so I've uploaded the full show to another video website, Bilibili. You can watch it here: www.bilibili.c...
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate one of the most underrepresented geniuses of our time?
They'd like us to forget these folk singers ever existed imo.
Currently doing exactly that
@@bshieldsd YES! Glad to know we’re on the same page!
❤
I was at the tribute concert. Van Ronk was obvioussly affected. He prefaced his performance by telling the audience that he could sing no more, or no less.
Exactly, right on comment. He was also a brilliant acoustic guitarist who was loyal to his roots and didn’t sell out to commercialism
Dave put a little extra in this one. You can feel it.
He was trying not to cry
When Dave starts singing I get quiet too. May you Rest In Peace and never be thirsty again thank you brother Dave.
when I hear his name I just can't keep from crying.
gets me every time.
Raskin...Great soul in YOU
I'd heard of Dave Van Ronk for years via Hot Tuna and Hesitation Blues, and finally got to experience him in 1998 in Seattle at the little folk stage of the annual Bumbershoot fest. Boy was I lucky. I knew I was in the presence of something very rare indeed. Woah! Cut me to the quick.
I saw him perform many times. He was unique beyond words. Sad that he's been pretty much forgotten. He didn't leave a great legacy of recordings, so I'm thankful that someone has found old videos like this.
Are you talking about PHil Ochs or Dave Can Ronk?
@@HoldenNY22 Van Ronk. I listened to Ochs' records a lot, but never saw him in concert.
I still have his records...one of my all time favorites as well.
This is literally one of the greatest performances I've ever seen.
@@jimjones3605 All of his performances were that moving. At least the ones that I attended.
How was he not as big as Dylan or at least some of the other guys. He's got it all. The guitar technique, the voice.
Well he's different from Dylan anyway.. Dylan was not famous because of his guitar technique or his vocal ability (which are both mediocre) but because of his songwriting skills. I'm not that much of a Dylan fan but he is certainly one of the best songwriters from his generation. Dave on the other hand only wrote a handful of songs.
Dave was my favorite singer, song writer everything since I was 14 or 15 yrs old. I got to meet him when he was at the troubadour, Joni Mitchell opened for him & I had never heard of her, but it was a good set. Long live songs and memories of Dave Van Ronk -
I had a similar experience once. Went to see a singer, Chi Coltrane, that I adored (& still do). Her opening act was a young, unknown guy from Chicago who played & sang by himself -- had a song about Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore....
I saw Dave in one of his last concerts at the Van Dyke in Schenectady NY..
Thank you for this-Dave & Phil were both friends of mine
Really? That is awesome. I saw Dave Van Ronk live in Columbus toward the end and I screamed out this song and he looked up quite surprised. I believe he then did it.
He was a friend of mine. I loved Dave as a Dad. He protected me.
The king of Greenwich Village..... and a truly great musician.
Phil's "Small Circle of Friends" was larger than large. Resting In Peace 2 Greats Phil & Dave. Thanx for the music & message....
RIP Phil Ochs and Dave Van Ronk
There is a lot of authentic emotion in Van Ronk's voice. It doesn't come easily.
Folk song with a rockstar voice 😍
Yep he belts some grunge-y Ab4s here 😹😹
That voice just steals my heart away. Thanks to "a friend of mine" who turned me on to this beautiful song.
I met a guy at SURF CITY 31st Dec 1964, this is the first song he played to me. I fell in love with him and Dave Van Ronk.
Incredible. So much soul. Love the grit and feeling.
Remember "outside of a small circle of friends"- bless Phil and Dave...
This concert was aired on Soundstage on PBS a few months after it took place. It was the very first time I ever heard Dave Van Ronk, and he absolutely knocked me out. Well over 40 years later, I am still an ardent fan. Thank you for bringing back a very fond memory.
You could hear the love in his voice.
That was not love of Phil. Of music, perhaps.
@@territhal3478 true, but good though.
@@jjkcharlie Yes -- it's an excellent rendition.
@@territhal3478 why not love of Phil?
@@davidosims @Terri Thal - Because unless the name is a coincidence then I think Terri new Dave personally.
Favorite acoustic guitar player ever.
Mine too. His "Stackerlee" is why I picked up a guitar.
Makes me cry every time
My hero. Perfect performance. From the soul.
Was grateful too see him live at Club Passim in Cambridge literally a year before he had passed away. I was a huge fan as my father had met him in the late 50's. My dad studied Guitar at the New England Conservatory back then, along with his friend Bill Lyons who was a guitar luthier that still had one of his guitars to this day! So the story goes. He had passed away as well. Brings tears I wish I was in the clubs back in those days! RIP Dave was great to see you then and forever loved that show'
This is a really well done version. It's one of my favorite songs of all time. ❤
The first time I heard this song was in a budget cinema -- one screen -- in 2011. I didn't know IF there was ever a "roc-doc" on Phil, but I remember thinking that it was ABOUT DAMNED TIME! When Dave played this song, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
A great tribute to Phil from Dave. Thanks for posting. How often those who mean the most to us, are only missed when they have gone. RIP Phil, you left to find rest. 😊
It's fitting that at the end of the Phil Ochs documentary "There But For Fortune," it ends with only one clip from this concert, and that clip is this.
I saw Phil Ochs in a small venue when a student in Johannesburg in 1973. Though he was in a bad way, his performance has stayed with me. Such a sad loss.
I hear Van Ronk and think, that was a time when giants roamed the earth...
I feel his tears in every note...
What a touching performance. Such raw emotion in his voice.
Excellent video. Thank you. RIP Phil and to all others who have taken their lives. We miss and love you
It was a real shame Phil Ochs had committed suicide not long before I listened to his music. I am a big fan of Bob Dylan but I liked Phil's songs and voice better. My biggest thrill was taping a memorial to him on the KUAT radio channel which I have kept for over 30 or more years. So many legendary musicians sang his songs and his sister Sunny spoke of finding his body. I am so glad that through UA-cam I can actually watch him performing and can't help thinking of the song I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night. I am sorry he ended his life while so young but he left so much of his songwriting for us. He should never be forgotten.
Nancy Sherburne love bob dylan
Goosebumps x1000000
Wow, I never heard this rendition 'til today and I gotta say, his soul puts tears in my eyes here.
Brilliant - very moving.
First song I learnt to play . DVR always with me
I wanna share this with my friend. We’re currently co-writing a book called THE WAR IS REAL. I just wanna enjoy this all for myself. I’m rarely stingy but I really connect with this.
One of my all time favorite singers, had passion.
Beautiful. Brings tears to my eyes.
I love this song
Just as I thaught I couldn't find any more respect for Dave
Holy Moly
Loaded for bear with the need to bring in the herd of social justice 'folkies', Dave said good-bye to Phil in the most potent way he could imagine! What a spirit - such a brutally determined folk artist, was Dave ! Missing him still !
I don’t know how UA-cam brought me here but what I just heard knocked me sideways and left me full of questions. This man’s performance had me spellbound and in awe. Dave Van Ronk? Who are you?
Dave (and Phil, for that matter) were really amazing guys. Dave was a folk singer in the 60's protest scene - most famous for arranging "House of the Rising Sun" for Dylan & The Animals; an interesting anecdote was that he was having dinner in a restaurant just across from the Stonewall Inn, during the night of the riot. Dave, a straight, completely non-LGBT dude, got up from his dinner and ran over to help the rioters fight against the cops, simply because he saw an oppressed group in trouble. Phil was a singer in the same scene; he wrote some famous anti-Vietnam-war songs, that are really great; Bob Dylan was a best friend, but pushed Phil away as, as he admitted, he grew more and more jealous of Phil's ability. Unfortunately, he was severely bipolar, and, after a series of truly tragic events - in the wider world: the 68 convention, the pardoning of Nixon, the 70s depression and failure of the 60s spirit, the Chilean coup where he'd performed just months prior; and personally, being spied on (phone taps, reading his mail etc) by the FBI as part of COINTELPRO (even worse since his friends all dismissed this as merely a bipolar paranoid delusion), his close friend Victor Jara being tortured to death in the aforementioned coup, being strangled in a mugging in Morocco destroying his singing voice (it's theorized that this may have been the feds a la the proven murders of other civil rights leaders, but there's no concrete proof), and a really badly received concert he did in a manic phase. He switched to a depressive phase, became alcoholic, "transformed" into an alter ego, and, one night, killed himself. This concert was thrown less than a month after his death. The pain in Dave's voice is very real, and very, very fresh. The man introducing the song is former AG Ramsey Clark, who died very recently - it goes to show the wide range of people touched by Phil's life.
@t.s Thanks for all that info. Some of Phil's songs put me off him (I had a couple of his albums in the 60's up in Winnipeg), but what you recounted explains that a little, and convinces me he was not the opportunist some made him out to be.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE SPENT YEARS LOOKING FOR THIS. BLESS YOU.
I've uploaded all songs from this show. Hope you enjoy. ua-cam.com/video/U-tOO8KLd5M/v-deo.html
My boyfriend died 1966 and took with him his LPs, I never heard the song again until 2002 when DVR died.
Just beautiful. And so great to see the video. Thank you so much for uploading this. I have recorded my own version, continue to play and sing it, largely based on Van Ronk's version, in remembrance of a friend of my own who died 18 years ago today in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Really a god amongst mortals.
DAVE... master of masters RIP near the LIGHT DAVE, I Remember YOU ever
A true memorial.
It’s so heartfelt
Dave was the real thing. In every way.
Heartbreaking!
Powerful stuff.
The introduction is by Ramsey Clark, U.S. Attorney General under President LBJ.
So good
Thanks for that link to the full memorial concert. I've begun watching it and it is totally beautiful.
He was a friend of mine after I heard Mr Ronks song
Incredible interpretation, he was feeling each word that is singing
Greetings dear Dave Van Ronk.
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
Never had no money
Pay for his fines
He was friend a friend of mine
He died on the road
He died on the road
Never had no money
Pay for his board
He was a friend of mine
He never done no wrong
He never done no wrong
He was just a poor boy
A long way from home
He was a friend of mine
I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
Never had no money
And I can't be satisfied
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
He was a friend of mine
When I hear his name
You know, I just can't keep from crying
He was a friend of mine
1976..I was born nxt yr.
June 77
Love dudes voice
Dig Dave's leonine beard. A masterpiece, like his lovely rendition of the folk classic.
Love you Dave.
Thanks boot
All the ❤️s
Read Dave's memoir "The Mayor of MacDougal Street." Describes a long-gone snapshot of the Village as it once was.
A so good cover...
The library near me used to have this and then it vanished and all I could ever find was the audio. Is there any way possible if I sent you a DVD that I could get a copy from you? This just blows my mind. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi, glad you enjoy my upload. You could simply go to the Bilibili link in the description and watch the full show nonstop there. If you want to download the show, you can use softwares like IDM.
He sounds awesome and very much like Ted Hawkins.
It’s on his Dave Van Ronk Folksinger
I never saw PHil Ochs Perform. I regret that. I never saw Dave Von Wonk perform either. In listening to this song, I think Adam Sandler- who I really love- maybe have borrowed song of the Themes, Music and Lyrics to his song Song about his friend Chris from Dave Van Ronk's song about Phil Ochs.
John martyn sounded like him, same voice, also a great singer
Slightly different, but Bert Jansch was also incredible in his day
I think John Martyn took a lot of Nick Drakes’ sound... ‘solid air’ is the homage. Not a criticism, it’s what the music is for.
keren keren banget he
I'm 16 again.........
does anybody know which chord does he play after G#m (after "to pay for his fine")?
Dylan was love her version
Was that Ramsey Clark in the intro?
yep! very distinctive moles. He was at Phil's Chile benefit concert a few years prior, too, along with Dave V.R.
RIP NORM MACDONALD
Funny, thought I would be the only one listening to this and thinking of him. RIP An Old Chunk of Coal.
This guy owns a doghouse
Lowdown blues...
Was DVR really terrifying in person?
His appearance on a Peter, Paul anbd Mary reunion concert may have been one of his last. Terrific folk artist. ua-cam.com/video/wev35k4I2WU/v-deo.html
Gerdys Folk City

Folo portugues kkkkkkkkkkkkk
It’s good but it made me jump. Lol
Phil hung himself in a closet because he couldn't win Dylan's love.
