Dolly seems surprised that the audience is singing with her. HONEY, you are an icon. This song is iconic. Take it in.
Too bad she's not singing live
@@rreznor660 she is literally 75
Can you imagine writing a song , then travelling around and having thousands of people literally sing it back word for word at your concerts in different countries all over the world? It’s not something many people will ever experience …. It must be the best feeling ever , that’s why she smiles and seems shocked
She actually was! She said so in her Vogue outfits breakdown interview. 😭♥️
@@sadkidan4120 and?
"How many of you go so far back that you remember a song of mine called Jolene?"
*Crowd loses their shit*
As well they should!
prolly thought she was doing a white stripes cover!
Most of them were twinkles in their dads eyes when Jolene was released lol
Classic songs are classic. My 12 year old cousin has heard Jolene!
I love how she seems so genuinely surprised when the crowd starts singing along with her xxx awww xxx
She said in an interview she didn’t know if anyone there would even know who she was mad it turned out to be one of her best gigs. 😭♥️
One of Glastonburys greatest performances, too
Love her humility.
@@jlbaker2000 To sing this in her 70's is so badass.
@@CraicDealer shame the performance was recorded 23 years ago
@@richardstevens2052 It was in 2014
this is so special because as she said in her Documentary on netflix, she didn't think anyone would remember the little songs she wrote...that cheer at the start really makes me tear up. Dolly is the best of the best
Her songs have passed through generations and it's incredible to watch.
This is literally her biggest song?
@@mero8128 She didn't think it would be when she wrote it dumb dumb.
@@mero8128 I think they meant that they wouldn’t know her and her songs in general, since it’s Britain… not exactly a popular importer of American country 😂
@@XXXTENTAClON227 I thought you were dead bro?
Dolly is a national treasure in America, and a gift to the world!
In USA you mean?
I’m from turkey 🇹🇷 definitely 💯 you are right legend lives right there
@@markrenton5791 No, he means the whole world, And I agree with him.
I'm not American btw.
You don't say
Nobody knows the artist in East-Europe, Asia, Africa. She is not a gift, but a shit of the world. There is a common american superciliousness. That is why the USA is the enemy for the whole world.
the security dances has actually made my life
nevejenny the best part!!!
yesss hahahahahh
nevejenny I've always found that cool. I tend to watch Glastonbury via mtvl
Worked as security at Glastonbury when I was like 19, it was great! :P
they would die for her, and her books.
she's 70 now and still sings ,queen
Anna Catherine Kowalsky Hii how are you and where from
Artur Östlund Im fine dear,how about You? Im from Poland,but I live in Austria (Wien) too,You?
+Artur Östlund Anna does look very good, doesn't she?
ooGawd thx :) but its face only,most important is what we have insite
Anna, I'd say there are many positive things about you. As I already mentioned, your beautiful picture. I love the colour of, and the flowers in, your hair. As well that, what you told us, you are from Poland, but now live in Austria. Polish women are, in my opinion, one of the best in the world. Austria is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Also the fact, else you would not have been listening to this song, you like this song, which is a great song, and your love of animals (seen from the videos you have watched/liked on UA-cam), tells me that you have a great personality. So I am really sure you are not only beautiful from the outside, but as well are definitely beautiful from the inside. If I would ever be granded with the opportunity of meeting you, or a 100% copy of you, I would never let that opportunity pass by. Not even if I would only be able to say hello. Do not let anyone ever tell you that you are not as well are beautifull from the inside as much as your are beautiful from the outside. I hope you will not only have a wonderful 2017, but that you will live an exceedingly wondrous life.
literally goals af to play guitar with those nails.
david garcia she have a pick ring thing on her thumb
@@Noway00141 It's a thumbpick
I think he means how she’s holding down those chords 😳
And guitar yes yes jaaa
Dh50486 she’s not playing chords just single notes
Dolly drew the biggest crowds of any musical act at the Glastonbury festival at this time. Over 100,000. She considered the invite to play there a big honor as her music has roots in Scotland, Ireland etc. I read that during her stay at Glastonbury she quietly visited a pub, dressed down and all, but everyone knew it was Dolly. Patrons of the pub had brought their instruments to play which is very normal for Europeans. They begged Dolly to play along. After a pint she relented and jammed with her new found friends. That would be a dream come true to experience something like that in person. Dolly has left her mark around the world.
There's a vid here of her in a pub in Kerry, Ireland where she does exactly that ....10yrs ago '12
Her origins are English the same as her music.
@@hetrodoxly1203
Scottish, Irish, Welsh, German and English
@@siogbeagbideach The music is of the British Isles and the settler to the Appalachians who were predominantly English and low land Scots, Parton's were English, where does the German come it?
Lmao, will Americans ever stop referring to “Europeans” and “Europe”, like it’s one big country.
Can I just say, as an American it thrills me that people in Great Britain seem to love her as much as we do. Truly one of the most loved people because not only is she only a wonderful musician but an extraordinary, kind, and generous human being.
We all love Dolly. She is sunshine and goodness and my family adore her. I have grown up with her music and I am growing more to appreciate what an amazing songwriter she is. From down here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Agree. She's very popular all over the world. We love her in Poland too🇵🇱
I was fortunate enough to be there, and waited at the front to see her for hours before her set. It was so worth it! I adore her, and it felt like a truly once in a lifetime chance to see her.
Dolly has been an icon in this country since the 1970's, I get the sense that wherever she goes in this world she is always "One of us".
I'm not too familiar with her music other than this song because country is not my choice of genre but I absolutely love Dolly as a person. The way she's done so much philanthropy without ever expecting at least some publicity in return is a quality not many celebrities have, I only have respect for her.
"Please don't take him just because you can." One of the most powerful lyric lines ever. Dolly! You rule!
Always giving me goosebumps
I am almost started crying seeing the security with their synchronized dance, Dolly is literally an angel
Hello Marisa
Hello Christopher
Hello Account
hello Stepan
Dolly is the most amazing woman on earth
Much to be admired. Knows what she's doing
What about Greta Thunberg
noivir Eugh. Please. That manipulated child who doesn’t know what she’s talking about?🤦🏻♀️
Peccato perché si è rifatta un po troppo con la plastica 🙈
And the Woman with the most
plastic surgery procedures....
I love during the last verse where she's almost whispering, like she pulled Jolene aside to talk with her.
you mean like it sounds on the record cuz she's lip-syncing? hahaha
@@chlagace it was actually pre-recorded, hence it was recorded on purpose for the event. It is very much likely she whispered it on purpose 🥂
@Brendan O' Neil Yes of course there is no such thing as compression or production riding the faders.
So many damn singers have lost their voice with age but dolly still sounds incredible!
It also helps if you mime which is what she is doing here. Great woman, great songs, great voice....but she's cheating
Gayalert69 yeah I mean I wouldn’t feel comfortable at 70 to preform to THAT crowd, but she can still sing none the less, the fact that she savours her voice for the studio is kind of good for the audience because it shows it cares about the standards!!
Gayalert69 Dolly does use miming in certain performances, but this was one where you can tell it was genuine, since it’s quieter & a lot more improvised on the timing. Besides, with Dolly it’s not a case of having lost her voice, it’s simply pragmatic. Woman’s 70, it’s an issue of stamina, not ability.
@@tsukopara2054 she’s miming. It’s the same recording used in all the clips and the same heard in the Australian tour.
You just change the audio settings to be for out door event versus in door concert. She’s miming.
@@tsukopara2054 Definitely lip synching here.
This is one of the most powerful country songs ever written. This was when country still held to its blues roots before pop took over. This and anything by Johnny Cash...
+Mary Finn this song made for me what the entire White Stripes' repertoire had never done… Jack should take all the money I gave him, and send it to her.
Country music is in a terrible place right now. It's like Top40 music but with a fake country accent. I'd love if it could get back to the blues roots that it came from, although it's been dying since Taylor Swift and Luke Bryan got into it and started changing what country music was. I feel like real country music lovers would like blues more than actual country now.
I stopped listening to country long ago precisely for the reason you state. Now I listen to Celtic, roots, blues and some of the older Southern Rock artists. Give me a Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Crystal Gale or Waylon Jennings any day. Also some of the older artists had sung Gospel or Church Music before starting their careers and they had that knowledge too.
Mary Finn Jolene is quite poppy, actually. And the old stodgy country folks derided Dolly for her pop crossover hits in the 70s. and where are they now?
I agree it's a great song but I think your comment about this coming before the pop influence is wrong. This song is the epitome of country-pop. It's hardly an authentic country song. Listen to Ray Price, slim Whitman or Loretta Lynn for authentic country music. Jolene is a great song but it is not authentic country music as you suggest.
WOW- she is 68 here in this video. Amazing woman.
+gwynvyd Amazing surgeon
Amazing bungler... Just look at her botched face...

Ich liebe diese Lied höre es jeden Tag ein paar mal
Piatequila Well said...
"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." -- Dolly Parton.
This was from special wasnt it
Her signing isn't cheap though!
She is a Muse, a Diva. An old fart will never know what is being a star for so many decades.
Yeah, maybe. But she´s not a dumb blonde, her wig is blonde.
Well...
Dolly Parton isn’t just a national treasure, she’s a treasure to the entire world. Such a class act as a person and a great singer too.
She is under apperciated guitarist. The fact that she can get such a clean, crisp sound even with her long fake nails is very impressive! And her right hand syncopation is always spot on as she sings, moves etc. Very talented!
You can see she’s not
Actually playing the guitar. She obviously can play guitar, but in this act the guitar was just more of a stage piece.
@@cody7068 just to add on there, i seen straight away she wasn't playing the guitar. i believe its due to her nails. the song itself is amazing and it possibly could be a prop i guess
@@cody7068I think she is actually playing, but there's another guitarist on stage who is doing the heavy lifting - the primary fingerpicking part. She is strumming, and that can be heard in addition to the fingerpicking.
THIS! as a guitarist, the first thing i noticed was how she was able to play so perfectly with such long nails!
@@MurrayCampbellOfficial there are videos of her when she's younger playing this and other songs with long nails. There's actually a video on @wingsofpegasus where he does a commentary on it. But, I too think she isn't playing the guitar in this.
Dolly seems genuinely surprised that the crowd are diggin her.
The crowd is* digging her.😊
She drew 100,000 there. A legendary talent and a lovely down-to-earth person.
so good :D
Maureen Collins "
I'm sorry, what does "diggin" mean?
Dolly Parton is a saint. She does so much for the LGBTQ Community, and really every community. Raised a crapton of money for the Tennessee forest fire victims, with ALL proceeds going to the victims.
Well into her 60's, and has the voice of an angel. Pure class.
I'm not even a country fan, but she is so good.
Yep
Some proceeds also went to a few scammers too who claimed they lived in Sevier County, Tennessee when they really didn't.

I love this woman! Her voice is the one that is as soft as "summer rain". Really incredible voice.
Funeral Giggle d best
Seeing security dance along shows how much of an honour it would of been to be there to watch this live!
Hello how are you doing???
I loved them for that!
That progression of chords is like someone pacing the floor walking in a circle. She wrote Jolene and I Will Love You Forever on the same day! Talent for poetry and music.
I love this woman! Her voice is the one that is as soft as "summer rain". Really incredible voice.
1:45 When even the security guards are dancing on your concert...
literally goals af to play guitar with those nails.
Her voice is so awesome. She has one of the most recognisable voices of anyone. I wish she would narrate audio books, I could listen to her all day.
Dolly Parton is a legend before her time. What a warrior and what a great example of what can be done without selling one's self out. Thank you Dolly Parton.
She's a legend before, during, and she'll be a legend after her time too.
She's very down to Earth but she is a very talented songwriter with a really nice voice and and beautiful personality and a vast bank account lol.
The only country western song I enjoy!❤ Thank-you
Ya gotta love security dancing and singing along in sync. I've NEVER seen that before. Glastonbury is a hoot!
That was a corniest thing I've ever seen
This woman is a national treasure
International
SHE IS 😭
@@marcushusky388 ikr she's so so precious
I love that the security members are all enjoying themselves too!
Hello how are you doing today???

Are they not supposed to during sets? all performances at festivals I've seen they're always stood still
i think they are the ones who do asl

It was a flasmob by the security.. they do it from time to time at the festival..
Real music is when you talk from your heart ❤ dont matter what kind of music is!!
Dolly Parton is an international icon. She is a shining beacon of positivity in a world full of chaos and despair. She’s got so much love and compassion, and I think that’s what makes her so mesmerizing. She is quite literally the best of us. ❤
What a consumate professional who truly seems grateful that millions enjoy her work. Who doesn't love Dolly Parton?
Im not even a country fan..im a hard rock/metal guy but this is probably the best voice ive ever heard...shes incredible
She's real.. And that's what matters.
what a precious soul
Dolly Parton is one of a kind, and should be cherished forever.
Even after so many years her voice never changed still so sweet
It must be an amazing experience having people singing your song back at you.
...and on top of it all, she has been married for 53 years (to the same guy).
Class all around.
@Eric Burkheimer Actually, the more likely reason divorce rates went up is because women started working and making their own money so they didn't feel as pressured to stay in marriages for financial/independence reasons. It has nothing to do with people not taking their vows seriously. That said, I do think people (especially women) feel very pressured to marry ASAP and they don't think about if it's the right decision for themselves or not. They end up in relationships that just won't last, but they realize much too late.
not being married to the same guy doesnt mean a woman doesnt have character
What a stupid statement.
@@SelphieFairy "The reason is because" is nonsense. Do you want to present what or why the reason for something is?
@@Pe6ek Yeah, sure. Dolly don't take shit from men, so if she wanted to divorce or leave someone for being a shitstain, and she would, and she would also approve of any woman for wanting to the same thing. (: Suck it.
I read a Rollingstone article regarding this festival and Dolly’s performance. It said she drew in the biggest audience of the festival by far, many more than what one would think over big Rock and Pop acts. The crowd was crazy for her and rightly so. Dolly is a worldwide Superstar and has been for decades.
shes so down to earth she didnt think kids at Glasto would get her THEY LOVED HER , she was epic that day
Such an ease, relaxing signing in this age, she is a true legend
She looks so surprised and happy!! Love you Dolly!!
Hello how are you doing????
"Jolene" is the queen of all country songs. periodt.
That's the beauty of music. Dolly singing with joy and the mostly young crowd digging every minute of it and singing along with her.
The world is gonna be darker and colder when dolly parts with us..truly a legendary figure
Hello how are you doing today??
I love SO much how both her and Johnny Cash said this was one of their best ever shows. And the funny thing is, you can also tell by the smiles on the band's faces, in both cases. Oh, rhymes!
Dolly is forever and always the Queen of Country!
She sounds great. Definitely not lip syncing. Guitar has a wireless mic. She does not (never has) wail her songs... so her voice has stayed strong. Sign of a great artist. She's not too old to still perform this great. Dolly...you are THE best! Look at Tina Turner...she's also great and she is in her 70s.
From the lack of time delay, and the way her voice was too clean cut, and the way her voice was unaffected when she walked around the stage, and the way you never herd her take a real breath, I'm afraid I have to dissagre. Having said that, 9 to 5 was deffinetly live.
I think it takes a little bit of time for sound to go thru something electronic/wireless. Not just on the stage ..on here as well. I can play instruments and don't need to take in "deep'' breaths.
Simon Gallagher they bypass the vocal fx when shes talking to the audience, and there was a lot of compression and other enhancements on her voice so their would be a big difference between singing and speech.
Those points are vaild but I've come across a video of Parton singing Jolene at a recent gig in Australia and it sounds exactly the same as this. This does not prove she is miming but it certainly suggests it.
Simon Gallagher well it is the same singer, and likely the same sound engineer with fairly strict guidelines for the sound mix. She wont be as strong nowadays and would expect a preset sound mix to compensate which would probably travel with her. I say this with knowledge not just guessing
beautiful dolly,I named my only daughter JOLENE because of this song she's 28 now and her beauty matches her name and this song thanks for making it love you!
Has she taken anybody´s man???
+Matthew Song ,no been with the same man for 11 Years and has his 3 children.😁
+Irene Camarena lol. A different kind of Jolene! That's awesome!
***** thank you,she is my only daughter,and she named one of her sons "Hendrix" after Jimi Hendrix,we love music lol.
Irene Camarena Thats great! Glad shes happy :)
Wow, the pop she got from that crowd when she said Jolene was explosive. I hope she now knows what she means to all generations.
She wrote this and For I will always love you on the same day !

Thanks 🙏 for your lovely comments, I wouldn’t have gotten this far with out you my lovely ☺️ fans. Have you been too my concerts before?
Despite her age, she is still beautiful and her voice is soft and gentle and enters the heart from all doors 💙🤍💙
My daughter is 4 and loves this song...so there are songs and artists that as long as parents want will become immortal!
This woman’s voice has always been amazing!
She still looks and sounds great. A true legend but more than that, she is also a genuinely lovely person.
Among the many reasons Dolly is an amazing woman, the fact she can play guitar like that with those nails blows my mind, because playing guitar is the reason I don't wear nails. That's awesome and so is she!
Probably got something to do with the entire performance being a 20 year old studio recording she mines to.
She's not really playing though. Just for show.
She's not playing a note here
Jolene is my favorite Dolly Parton song
Hello how are you doing today?? ?
Somehow, in this live version, Dolly brings more emotion to her voice, which in turn has added to the song, even more than before! I'm just glad that Dolly is still around, I love country music, and she for me , is last of the greatest!
I have a massive soft spot for Dolly Parton. Jolene is one of my all time favourite songs.
Fair play to Dolly. The woman is timeless.
The security dancing is a tradition on the last day “legends” of Glastonbury Festival.
It's so amazing that the consert staff is dancing , so coolt it was planned!
Hi. How are you doing. Hope you are fine and staying safe out there.

When I was in Air Force tech school, 1965, one of the guys in the barracks was telling of this fantastic singer, Dolly Parton. Was he ever right !! Dolly is three weeks older than me. She is 75 in 2021 and looks great...
Jolene is my favourite song for many years now... And still love to listen every day... Dolly you are a truly inspirational, talented artists, loved by millions... With love from Australia 🇦🇺
Absolutely fantastic. Truly a great artist and one of the most recognisable voices in the music industry. British audiences love her because she doesn't take herself too seriously and is so appreciative of her fans. She's been visiting the UK since the early 1970's and has built up a huge fan-base over the years. Sadly, something a lot of the newer singers need to realise that it isn't just enough to have talent, you've got be prepared to work hard for it. An icon for everyone and forever!
Yep. A whole lot of us have had a “Jolene” or two in our lives. Grrrr. Love this song. A forever classic.
Thé look of pure joy on the bands faces
This is amazing!!! I had no idea she was so well known out the States. If any deserve their success it's her. She's such an amazing person and talent.
She has a hell of a voice
I have read that American country music isn’t really known in Great Britain. As an American, it thrills me that the Brits not only know Dolly but are enthusiastically singing along with her.
Hello how are you doing today???
Everyone knows who Dolly Parton is, at least everyone 40 plus
i can tell you now i’m a 21 year old british dude and i absolutely adore country. i’m off to see shania twain soon and i appreciate every country singer because it’s so good
dolly is such an inspiration to this earth still and im 6 years late.

How she plays that lick so effortlessly with those nails on is insane.
One of the most emotional sounds of my youth I remember.
Love Dolly. I live next to Pigeon Forge where Dollywood is. When Gatlinburg got burnt she donated a ton of money to help...even gave it's citizens money to survive on until things got better. Outstanding person and artist. She created her own little empire.
Her voice is like it's frozen in time. Absolutely magical

Hello Rhonda
How are you doing today?
It seems like that vibrato worked its way into her voice as she got older. If anything it makes this song even more intense. Dolly has the best voice.
Oh my God that song makes me cry
Hello how are you doing???
If people think this is a lip-sync number, Dolly deserves credit for perfect muscle memory because she was not one syllable off from the alleged pre-recorded track. I am not a die-hard fan and I didn‘t deep dive into it but that sounds and looks live to me
Completely agree. Even there's a little sniff (1:34) which completely matches what you see: her breathing quite heavily through nose. AND there are a couple of clicks and artifacts that you would remove from a recording. She's a little out of breath - you hear that too! However I guess one can never be 100% sure that it's 100% live.
