Joan Baez

Actually, scratch what I just said. 😍

I'm going solo this time—and honestly, that's the whole point. My last concert experience was pretty much overshadowed by who I chose to go with, which ended up being a perfect little metaphor for a chapter of my life I’d rather forget. This time around, I bought my ticket without a second thought. Just one. ☕

I’ve never had any issues going out solo. It’s just a bummer when you have to skip shows because your friends aren't really into the scene... 😉

Look, if you're building on what I said earlier, the whole situation is actually a bit more complicated than that—but honestly, it doesn't even matter anymore. It's all water under the bridge. 😉

I jumped in there, but honestly, I was mostly just talking to myself. I’ve had my fair share of concerts where I walked away thinking it would have been way better if I’d just gone solo... 😉

It simply wouldn't be complete without an encore from unknown 😬 :

Haha, absolutely brilliant 😍. I actually got chills 😍. The setlist looks incredible 👍, though if I had to pick, I’d go with unknown and unknown—those are easily her best. Honestly, I can't wait 👋.

I was in Denver this past Monday set list was fantastic... and I'm honestly looking forward to hearing Joan again tonight!

I honestly don't even know how to put tonight's concert into words without sounding like I'm exaggerating, though even then, I'd probably miss the mark.
I had goosebumps from head to toe, multiple times. Joan is just breathtaking—truly incredible. She felt perfect in that venue, though personally, I think she deserves a massive arena to herself. If you haven't heard of her before (which, based on everyone I ran into tonight, is a lot of people), she’ll completely pull you in. There's this radiant energy she carries, and she just pours it right into the music. I actually showed up at 7:30 PM, but I still missed the first song because security held me up at the entrance. Apparently, my SIGG water bottle wasn't allowed, and I wasn't about to leave it sitting by the door; I insisted on taking it to the bar so they'd watch it for me. By the time I got in, the first song was done, and I was immediately hit by the second one, "It's all over now, baby blue," which is my favorite Dylan cover of hers. It was also pretty sweet when she covered that song by The Beatles, "Ima neka tajna veza"—even though I usually don't vibe with that track, she did it so well with those little stylistic touches...
To wrap up the main set, she played "Diamonds and Rust," and it was flawless. Also, that girl doing backup vocals? Her voice is unreal. It's like instead of breathing, she just sings 😁
Anyway... I rarely enjoy encores, but with her, I could have listened to a hundred more. Long story short... I checked a huge item off my bucket list tonight. I went solo and genuinely enjoyed my own company 😬

It was absolutely stunning 😍. I had an incredible time. Joan was gorgeous—down-to-earth, approachable, and exactly who I needed her to be. The whole concert flew by; honestly, if it had been any longer, it still wouldn't have been enough.
The way she performed Diamonds and Rust hit home perfectly—the sheer effort put into mastering that set was evident, and whoever suggested she play it? Pure genius. 👍
I’m repeating myself, but I truly, deeply loved it 😍.

On a side note, the show started right on schedule, though I missed the first two songs because people were still shuffling into their seats 😁.

Btw, here is the setlist.

The setlist order was totally off. I caught it immediately since I skipped the first track, and the second one was "It's all over now..." just like I mentioned before. Whatever though. 🙂
Joan 😍

I’ve been keeping track of how things were unfolding—you might have missed more than just one 🙂.

I don't know... I walked up at 8:10 PM and there were about five or six of us in line. The security guards at the entrance told us we had to wait until the song finished before they’d let us in, saying it was only the first one. How does someone play three songs in ten minutes? 😲

There's some sort of secret connection performed by Joan Baez!

Nancy Ward37 said:A Mini Documentary where Joan Baez and Steve Earle talk about her upcoming album, "day after Tomorrow," coming out on Proper Records

Proper Records

Man, I am seriously looking forward to this new album.😍

"Joan Baez: sweet sound" - such a great documentary covering the life and career of the legendary singer Joan Baez.
It’s a look at a true icon from the 1960s—someone who was always a fearless fighter for freedom and civil rights. It's packed with historical footage, and you get to see folks like Bob Dylan, the great Jesse Jackson, and David Crosby popping up too...
