- Judy Collins joins Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops for a performance of her hit song "Both Sides Now." This concert at Boston's Symphony Hall was held in May 1976.
I have carried over many comments from previous postings of this video clip, which had over 186,000 viewings. The clip was recorded back in 1976 on a first generation Sony Betamax. Don't miss Judy's new, May 2020 re-release of her 1970 classic, "Amazing Grace," now with a world-wide Virtual Choir. Running on UA-cam and linked here: • Judy Collins & The Glo... If you like it, pass it along to your friends!
oh my goodness...what happened to all these angels that made us all dream of a better tomorrow...what happened to music, what happened to the world... God bless you Judy, Joni, Joan..... For ever and ever in my heart!...
we are a society in decline sadly
@@stucoaren't we? How much longer to bottom?
Judy Collins. Karen carpenter. God gave a special voice that touches you no matter what
Now l am 60 years old. First heard this song when l am 12 years old... ❤🎉😊
So good that Judy Blue Eyes is still touring 48 years after this performance...
Indeed, seeing her next month!
I saw her earlier this week. She still hit that high note at the end. I was quite an honor to see her.
One of the purest voices of our time: Judy Collins!
This came out when I was in Vietnam on gunboats and this, with a couple of other tunes, kept me from going completely out of my mind.
What were the other tunes?
She opens her mouth and you instantly know that it's Judy Collins.......legend....one word....legend.
There is no voice that can close to Judy's. Current singers all sound alike. But nobody has the style and grace of Judy Collins. God Bless her.
Judy and karen carpenter have voices like an angel
My God! I'm 50 years old, and I've heard this song my whole life. It's always been just a pleasant little tune to me. Today I'm really contemplating the lyrics for the first time, and I can't keep it together. Joni Mitchell is a poetic genius!
Then listen to Joni Mitchell?
I’m 54 and never ever ever knew these lyrics. Yes I knew the song but never listened nor understood the lyrics until I saw it sung and signed in the movie CODA. I am mesmerized by the talent of JM , the rendition here of JC and the exquisite moving voice of Emilia Jones. In coda
Timeless song. Both sides now- whose life is it anyway?
Good
Yes she was. And sang it better. Judy ad libbed too much
Just a lovely, lovely song. This is one of those songs that will live on for hundreds of years. People will be listening to this the way we listen to Mozart or Chopin.
Wow, it true.
It'd be cool to see a star fleet Jr officer/ crewman play this song on one of the current shows just to assure us that good music still exists in the far fu t ure.
Cool song
I saw her in Stockton, California in 1971. She was a bit timid on stage but still had her majestic voice. I was 19 then.
Just recently had the great privilege of standing at the front and watching this beautiful lady perform at the Cambridge folk festival in England , she told stories of her friendships with Leonard Cohn and Joni Mitchell and sang a wonderful set of songs ❤😊
Wished I'd had been there ,,beautiful 😅
I'm 65 and still know this song words lovely my retirement from teaching for 40 years and married my high schools sweet heart 40years on 9 April 1984.
Judy Collins was born in Seattle, Washington on May 1st, 1939. She is a Grammy Award-winning American singer and songwriter with a career spanning over 60 years. She is known for her eclectic tastes in the material she records (which has included folk music, show tunes, pop music, rock and roll and standards) for her social activism, and for the clarity of her voice. Collins has released 28 studio albums, 4 live albums, numerous compilation albums and 4 holiday albums. Today, May 1st, 2021, she is celebrating her 82nd birthday.
Thank you
Sweet Judy blue eyes. The voice. OMG, that voice.❤
Guess that’s part of the inspiration behind the Graham Crosby song Suite: Judy Blue Eyes❤
Beautiful princess Judy Collins. I love this song and her voice. Brings back great memories! Thanks Joni Mitchell!
Sweet Judy blue eyes. wow just wow. I liked this song when it came out, I was about 10. I listen to it now as a fifty six year old man and it makes me wanna cry. One grows to appreciate the truly beautiful as life goes by. Just love it.
or maybe it's because of the famous Crosby, Stills and Nash song "Suite to Judy Blue Eyes" written by her (then) boyfriend Stephen Stills
Yes
George Burge Pretty much the same here. Lovely woman, lovely song.

Man I LoVe your comment
Life doesn't get any better than seeing and hearing this video. It's as good as it gets. Total Joy!
judy is an american treasure , ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFL
Best rendition ever, pure genius
I imagine someday I'll hear voices like this in Heaven.
Me to what a pretty song . Judy do a great job on any songs she dose.
Your wish is granted -God ! 🙂
If you go to heaven
tribecop Her and Karen Carpenter.
Amen..great voice
Two Judy's were amazing in 60s the other one Judith Durham from The Seekers
I used to confuse them ...
Add Mama Cass and Mary Travers and there are the 4 best.
Judith Durham of the original Seekers is still one of the best ever. She could sing anything she wanted to .
@@MrGaberlunzie1 I agree
I just saw her 3 days ago (May 24 2019). At age 80 she still sounds amazing.
Really!....wow...she still performing!
Soooo happy about that!!!
Good music!
I saw her 2 days ago(January 11, 2020) in Liverpool, UK, still going strong !
80. Wow, she's an icon. So much greatness over the years.
"Both Sides Now"
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way
But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away
I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say "I love you" right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way
But now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I've changed
Well something's lost, but something's gained
In living every day
I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
I've looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all
Judy Collins is one of my favourite artists of all times,I listen to her songs everyday,blessed to be one of her passionate fans, love you very much,Judy
Judy Is always one of my favourite artists of all times, I like her vision of this song as much as Joni Mitchell’s original,love you very much and blessed to be one of your fans
Judy Collins is just great!
Her voice is so incredible that sometimes I feel like I'm going into a trance.
One of the best voices ever and one the best song writers ever.
Joni Mitchell wrote this song and her version destroys this version. This version is frankly a little embarrassing.
@@northernassassin6056 I agree. I prefer Judy Collins' version recorded. The song is very nice, the content of it and the melody. So Joni Mitchell is great. But I like Judy's version recorded, but not this.
@@iwatatatsuya I was just thinking that in the first couple lines
Studio version of Judy's is 1000000x better
Joni wrote this
I listen to "Judy's clowns" two or three times a year... makes me cry every time... beautiful voice, beautiful eyes...
Honored to dine with Ms Collins many many years ago. A beautiful and talented person who sustained me throughout several decades with her music.
She lost her only son. Her rendition of "Sons of" always brings my abundant tears... 😢
me too. So sad. I have loved her music and voice since I first heard her sing when I was around 14. Where did I hear her? At my Grandparents house! Someone gave them a record of hers! Here I am 65 and still love her. Every now and then I think "I haven't heard Judy sing in awhile." At one time, I had every one of her albums. She was a truly is amazing. Sons of is one of the better songs. Touches my heart every time.
I can't listen without my tears flowing. My heart was squeezed and it ran out my eyes !
A beautiful song can listen over and over
I remember my mom putting this record on when I was little. Miss you mom! ❤
The song grows old with age, but it still makes memories refresh every times I listen to this song.
I grew up when this was a hit. Those were the best of times.
Yes yes yes oh what a thrill
This all brings back memories. I graduated high school in '76. The music from the 60-70's will never be beat.

In 1970, I had a hip twenty-something 7th grade english teacher. One day Miss Taylor handed out a poem for us to read as a class. Then she put on a record and it was Judy Collin's "Both Sides Now." It was the day I fell in love with poetry....
Wow, this song in a live performance is absolutely stunning.
Her enchanting voice, speaking and singing, is almost indescribably beautiful, haunting and unforgettable. The amazing sound and motion picture camera is surely our most profound invention, a time machine portal upon lost worlds. Thanx to the extremely few intrepid geniuses who invented it around one hundred thirty years ago, truly amazing.
God I love this song, I love Judy God this is such a treasure.
Judy, you are still so beautiful when you sing this! I love your voice.
She sings so much like Joan Baez.
I am 84yrs & have never heard of her before now.
Maybe not known very well in Qld Australia.
Would love to see & hear her.
Hi judy has been well known since the days of Woodstock Crosby Stills & Nash John Denver Slim Dusty the pub with no beer. Oh lonesome away from from your kindred and All round where the wild Dingos call but nothing so lonsome morbid or Dreer than to stand at the bar of the pub with no beer the big flood of 74 you lot got up there worse than any where except a little place called Nygan in NSW which had ever heard of untill then untill some asked a black fella out near Broken Hill what the Name ment in English .Long Pond .it had only ever light rain in White fellas history that pond Was the way if you remember all the way from the Darling Downs all the way to the Murry Basin Happy St Patrichs Day 💚☘️I have been here since 1971. G-day to you Madam 🌹🫶🕊️👍💚☘️jf
Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Yo have always been a favorite since my parents bought me a 45 of Chelsea Morning and Amazin Grace. I loved it when you sang Amazing Grace for the late Gloria Vanderbilt. I had a wonderful cleansing cry. God Bless you. I
also have read a few of your books. You are an awesome lady with a God given talent. From a proud Canadian. 🙏🇨🇦🌈🦋🌹
This was played at my mom's wake. What a beautiful somhy
This is amazing! First she gives melody (well most of it), and then she harmonizes around the melody, giving it a feel of improvisation. All the while, doing some really interesting things with the phrasing. This takes not only solid musicianship, but also sharp mental focus to keep it all together.
Never mind the DECADES of practice . . .
I have never heard another artist use their voice like this...
Absolutely. So well observed/said.
She has so much control.
Amazing ❤
Jonathan ...that's it. You said it so clearly! ...thanks!
That's the incredible sensitive power of this version...Judy... harmonizing around the melody giving it a feel of improvisation...such a great achievement...and in this way an exclusive gem.
Yes!!!, it's incredible!
Such a beautiful voice! One of the greatest singers ever...period!
It was a special time, for some of us the time of our youth, hopes, and dreams. Now we are ever so slowly growing old. I truly miss them days, I'm glad I grew up then. When I hear music like this from back then, it makes me think of friends and family who are no longer with us, but was here back then.😔
Has there ever been a more beautiful voice, I don't think so ! A voice of an angel for sure. What wonderful times those were back in the 60's, my heart breaks knowing they are gone.
They will be back. Soon enough.
Tough call. I would hate to have to pick. Her and Joni Mitchell phenomenally talented.
Judy Collins is still alive and so is Joni Mitchell...
Arthur Fiedler was one of the great “Pops” orchestra conductors of all time. Judy sings this melodious song with words that everyone can relate to!
Judy has truly transcended generations. The quality only all time greats can boast
Beautiful rendition of one of my favorite songs 😊
I heard this before years ago. But now listen to the words. It has a meaning for all of us in many different ways. It means a lot to me and maybe others.
I agree with your comment. Very well said.
i love both joni and judy so much. they are true treasures.
I saw Judy Collins in a full concert in my town while I was still in high school in 1968.
A BEAUTIFUL WORKING PRINCESS! JUDY COLLINS YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND !
How absolutly lovely. Thanks Judy.
RW
31 people voted this down. 31 whom don't know music and a gift
i was think also something wrong with their ears
Pity the cauliflower, Midas ass's ears. Judy is an eighth Muse.
Unbelivable...I really dont know people at all...
I first saw and heard Judy around 1963 when I was 14 years-old. She and Tom Paxton I think it was, were making their rounds on Cape Cod, (and Massachusetts) at that time. They put on a nice little show at the old National Guard Armory, (which is now a court house) on Jones Road in Falmouth, Ma. Judy was absolutely fabulous that night! I can still see her on that little stage wearing a white dress and high heels. She had the most beautiful, big blue eyes I have ever witnessed. I've been a huge fan of hers all these years and my favorite song sung by her is, "Both Sides Now".
Lucky you !
@@kristinehatkinson7323 I sure was, but I didn't realize it then! LOL!!
Seems we never do.@@felixmadison5736
Too bad we can't hear entertainers like this in America anymore. The record companies must think it wouldn't be commercial enough.
you can, if you just stop complaining like an old person and listen to what is out there......
pebouky The record companies don't hire good singers they hire marketable ones. You know this yet you're still trying to start an argument. Grow up.
jqbtube Or learn to mind their own business.
We have and it sucks idiot.
Oh you know Judy personally ? You know what she thinks ?
I'll always be haunted by this song intill the day I leave this life. On December 9th 1968 I was a still a Teenager, a US Marine on the final day of operation Meade River. During the morning I was on the gather up the dead detail, and throwing them on the Helicopters, Both Sides was playing on Armed Forces radio.
I'm so sorry..THANK you for all you gave...SALUTE
Thank you
Jesus fucking christ, that is beyond brutal and so bloody wrong. Young men and women should never have been recruited to participate in this horrifying degradation. I'm sorry. All the armed forces need to take a fucking good look at themselves. Raise the age bracket for certain duties, DO NOT risk damaging your young, proud and brave members emotionally, mentally and physically FOR LIFE!!!
So many memories...
Damn this brings back memories of a time I’ll never live again. Take me back and let that time go on for eternity.
WHAT A CLASSY VERSION OF A CLASSIC!!! GIVES CHILLS....
It does!!
@@joekool1907 "JK", I PUT ON A SWEATER....Be Well
We need plenty of Judy Collins today January 2021...👍👍👍
it's been 3 years and my childhood is still over.
I've always loved that ever since I first heard it in '67.'
Heavenly voice!!!
Judy Collins what a wonderful artiste !.Lovely voice
God bless you, Judy❤ And thank you❤
I grew up in the 50's and early 60's. While other kids were listening to rock and roll, I was buying folk song records from Seeger, Bikel, Baez, Collins, and many others. I guess that was why I became a member of the SDS in college. I protested the Vietnam War every chance I got. Then in late 1969, I was drafted into the marines. Fortunately I was spared most combat. USMC1969-1971
Thank you for serving on the front lines. Both front lines brother.
Always loved this song and think that Judy Collins is one of the best people to sing it!
Singing, musicianship, unique, yearning physical beauty. She's the whole package.
Beautiful...can't believe a live version can sound like this, truly only a very talented performer can sound this strong and melodious.
Seen her in 2022 and still as awesome....❤
What a confident, creative, wonderful rendition of this classic song. Beautiful take by Ms. Collins. Great job.
In my book Judy Collins is the only female folk singer who can be considered in the same class as the late, great Mary Travers. I just love the way she sings and that voice is just as clear as a bell.
Don't get me wrong, George. I'm also a Joni Mitchel fan. It's just that I think that Mary Travers and Judy Collins are a cut above.
+gjm1953 You can certainly appreciate her talent in this performance.
+gjm1953 Speaking of Mary my god she was hot I fell in love with her watching old ppm footage. Lovely looking and charismatic she was at just 19.
Joan Baez for me. Love Judy and their duet at Joan's 75th, Beacon Theatre, Diamonds and Rust is on here. Check it out. Idyllic
Don't get me wrong. I Love Judy, Joni, Joan, and Mary, but you can add a few like Melanie Safka, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris. I am sure I left some, I will remember later.
I don't think she takes a breath this whole song-just keeps going 🎶 loved her on "Christy".
super emotional music
Hello Margaret, How are you doing?
One of my favorite singer/songwriters ever!
That this beauty of interpretation is a gift from the Gods.
I saw Judy several years ago. She sings just as pretty as she did when I first heard her in the 60's.
Hello Vicki, How are you doing?
I’ve LOVED this song for YEARS…it expresses so vividly and beautifully the MYSTERY that is LIFE…such a unique, never-to-be-repeated experience for each individual!
Hello Dolores how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Angelic voice, we've been very blessed . Especially with the Boston Pops.
timeless beauty.... so blessed to have experienced this music throughout my life
Superb. 💙 T.E.N.
A Folk Music "Voice" seems to be pretty rare. Judy Collins has one of the very best!
What a phenomenal talent. Such a sweet voice and perfect for her time.
SO effing good, but awfully sad... I came to know this song just the past week and it may have come as a sign for a good release... IDK.
This version touches me more than the album.
A real golden oldie that is being revived. Have a restful nights sleep dear Jen. xx♥♥
holy shit at 68 I'm getting a stiffy listening to this lol
Such a beautiful voice a beautiful song and a beautiful woman.
How music use to be.........great!!!!
+JPPT1974 :) certainly was
Jon Denver

Like going to church.
Epitome of an understatement. Yes.
Gail Sandison absolutely
Good gosh what a beautiful voice. As clear pure and crisp as a bright Spring morning. Her version of Where Are The Clowns is perfectly heartbreaking
Childhood. My Ma played your lovely voice so many days of my life.
Hello Steph how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
PERFECT immaculate STUNNING JUDY COLLINS
One of most beautiful of our generation..always brings back tears...
