I met Phil in 68. I was working for Gene McCarthy. I was 16. Gene had a rally and Phil sang. After the speeches and songs ended, Phil came down and talked to the kids working the rally. I saw him at nearly every demonstration I went to, and I went to them all over the country.
I never met Phil Oaks. He died young. He was a singer I always hate missing. His monopoly song was golden. President Nixon would keep me out LBJ's Vietnam war. My lotto number was not a winner.
@@nbenefiel I used to be an anarchist. I relate too protest music. I've met pat the bunny. Frank turner. Among others. But Phil I'm a big fan of. Means alot to me
@@buttholeweeb621 I was big into Civil Rights and then fighting against the Vietnam War back in the 60’s. My dad took me to see Martin Luther King when I was 11. I skipped school and went to my first demonstration when I was a freshman in High School. It was a strange time but I am glad I lived through it. The music was great too.
I owe this man an apology. How I grew up in the seventies without knowing about his music I don’t know. Even one of his best known songs, “Changes” which I knew, like so many others from Gordon Lightfoot’s beautiful cover, I only recently realised was not written by Lightfoot himself. I’m sorry Phil! Perhaps we’ll meet in some other world and I can say “sorry” in person, but in case that doesn’t happen, I Guess I’ll Have to Do It While I’m Here.
Just as captivating as his song structure and melodies, are Phil's movements while he performs. Do you notice? He's not just keeping time with his foot, or sneering to prove his points. He's feeling the songs with his entire persona. It's just beautiful - and just another thing that make Phil Ochs irreplaceable.

I was a big fan of Phil Ochs in the 1960s but I never had a chance to see him perform in person. My collection of his records disappeared over the subsequent 50 years of moving around the country. His suicide hit me hard. It was like the end of an era. It’s great that he’s here on UA-cam.
I was at school in Dublin when Phil died. I couldn’t believe it. I cried. Most of my Irish friends had never heard of him. I had a cassette and an old fashioned tape player. It was new then. It went through batteries like water.
"My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone/So I guess I have to do it while I'm here." Those lines get me every time I hear this song. Simply amazing.
@News He deserves(ed) to be remembered MORE than Bob Dylan. PHIL OCHS was above Dylan, a higher tier. Dylan was much more commercially palatable to everyone, every broadcasting entity, sponsors, etc. PHIL OCHS was genuine. Poet, prophet & tragic f''king genius.
Breathtaking singer, lyricist and performer, unfailingly on the side of the common man. My hero. What a loss. Thank you for this video--I could watch him all day every day.
You might want to have your obsession checked out. It’s not healthy. But don’t take any farma suit Ickes as those can do more harm than good. Just ask Phil
Like all the greats from that era, it's amazing and sad how prescient Phil's messages are to this day! The music of Phil Ochs and Dave Van Ronk have been formative for my revolutionary years. I hope so many more of us spread his message and maybe one day these words won't ring so true anymore!

Have you ever seen a performer like this? All of the other musicians on the stage can't take their eyes off the great man. Blown away by his sheer genius. Always number one, Phil. Bless you.
Phil was always my favorite folksinger back then, and now I remember why I felt that way! At age 16, I used to sing "I Ain't a-Marchin' Anymore" at a local coffee house in Washington, D.C.--my home away from home during my high school years. So good to hear him sing it here so beautifully and convincingly. He was the soul of the antiwar movement!
Loved Phil from when I was 16 years old. He was so Handsome as a young man! I was so touched with this early performance. Brought me back to the first time I heard these songs. I would listen to the first tune on a n new Ochs album until I had memorized it. Then figured it out on piano and then guitar. Then did the same on every tune . Phil taught me about music. Grew up to be a Music teacher.
Wonderful to see Phil sing live again in a piece of film that I had not seen before.It is also so good that his songs are remembered and still sung for the same reason that he wrote them.
I believe Oscar Brand recently passed, a dedicated performer and patron of folk music, which I believe will make a huge comeback. Great performance by Phil Ochs.There are still Phil Ochs fanatics out there.
These lines make this a great anti-war song: Is there anybody here who thinks that following the orders takes away the blame? Is there anybody here who wouldn't mind a murder by another name?
My favourite line is: "Is there anybody here who would like to wrap a flag around an early grave?". It's the first line that really breaks down the illusion of glorious war, and it paints a really tragic, poetic image of the human toll.
Every time I watch this I think that if I was one of the other musicians waiting their turn I'd be thinking to myself, "Well, might as well pack up and go home. I can't compete with this guy."
"When I'm Gone" always breaks my goddamn heart. I mean... it's like he knew how his life would end when he wrote it, but that could just be depression. I know I felt the same before I got medicated. I wish he'd had that chance. If you'd asked me who I'd rather keep, Ochs or Dylan, I'm taking Ochs every time. As much as I like a lot of Dylan's work, I don't feel like we NEED him. But damn do we need Ochs.❤
I don’t think things got so bad for him until he lost his voice after the attack in Tanzania. As he said in his suicide note “ it seems that there are no more songs” it breaks my heart, even now.
Oscar Brand, introducing Canadian TV audiences to so many great songs, singers and ideas with this show, after U.S. TV had dropped its "Hootenanny" folk music series for "Shindig" and "Hullabaloo" -- both of which I remember as mostly Brit pop rock, miniskirts and gogo boots.
Really? There are lots of differences. As great as Phil is, he doesn't have Dylan's overflowing creative energy or Dylan's selflessness - his ability to transcend himself.
Interesting that each of these songs from 1965 could have been sung in 2002’s America and today’s Russia with equal conviction, a few names and references updated.

Is the entire episode available? I wonder who all the other artists are on the stage? What an experience it must've been. RIP Ochs. Wish I was alive to see him play
When I looked at the number of likes it was stuck on 666! I couldn't leave at that. It's now 667. I first heard this song covered by Gordon Lightfoot on his first self titled album: Lightfoot. Gordon's version was shorter with slightly adjusted chord arrangements. Nonetheless an excellent cover by one of the world's best song writers.
Can you confirm the date of this program? Is there a way to check it? I guess it may be from 65, indeed. Is that David Cohen on Phil's Bio-bliography puts this show around May of 1966... Thanks in advance.
Phil performed twice on this show, with his 1966 performance only being partially available showing him playing The Party (clip available. on UA-cam). I took the info from a Phil fansite that has since been shut down when I last checked.
@brianoidperson "Hit the note"? What does that even mean? And if you don't like it, fine. Just move on. No need to drop some vague turd of disapproval in the comments.

48 yrs ago he took his life. Phil was an incredible songwriter, he saw life like most of us didn't.
I hear Bob Dylan in his songs and realize it's the other way around.
Bob Dylan is the corporate version

In a building of gold, with riches untold,
Lived the families on which the country was founded.
And the merchants of style, with their red velvet smiles,
Were there, for they also were hounded.
And the soft middle class crowded in the last,
For the building was fully surrounded.
And the noise outside was the ringing of revolution.
Sadly they stared and sank in their chairs
(many verses later ..)
Too late for their sorrow they've reached their tomorrow
And reaped the seed they were sowing
Now harvested by the ringing of revolution
In tattered tuxedos, they faced the new heroes
And crawled about in confusion
And they sheepishly grinned for their memories were dim
Of the decades of dark execution
Hollow hands raised, they stood there amazed
In the shattering of their illusions
As the windows were smashed by the ringing of revolution
Down on our knees, we're begging you, please
We're sorry for the way you were driven
There's no need to taunt, just take what you want
And we'll make amends if we're living
But away from the grounds, the flames told the town
That only the dead are forgiven
As they vanished inside the ringing of revolution
I’d give anything to hear Phil sing about Trump.
He'd commit suicide
“Changes”….such pathos and poignancy……incredible writer and performer.
