Joan Baez and janis joplin🔥 60s Folk & Blues Legends | Live at Newport Folk Festival 1968 (Tribute)

🔥 THE NIGHT THAT SAVED THE FESTIVAL Welcome to Echoes of Old Blues. This session is a tribute inspired by one extraordinary weekend — July 24-28, 1968, Festival Field, Newport, Rhode Island. Joan Baez, already a Newport veteran since her unannounced debut there in 1959, headlined Friday night solo and alongside her sister Mimi Farina, then returned for a shorter set Saturday. That same Saturday night, Janis Joplin took the stage with Big Brother and the Holding Company to close out the evening — a performance so massive in draw that it's credited with saving the festival from financial ruin that year. This session recreates both sets in full — Joan Baez's pure, soaring soprano and delicate fingerpicked guitar work, paired against Janis Joplin's raw, gravelly blues-rock wail and gospel-tinged explosive energy. Two completely different voices, one unforgettable weekend, all captured with the warm, unpolished character of a real 1968 outdoor festival recording. 🎧 PERFECT FOR: Late-night listening & reflection Deep focus & studying Fans of 60s folk and blues-rock history Lovers of raw, festival-scale live recordings Anyone who loves music history's pivotal turning points Quiet evenings & long drives 🎵 FULL TRACKLIST: 00:00 - Piece of My Heart 03:39 - Ball and Chain 08:39 - Summertime 13:44 - Morning Morning 17:19 - Prison Trilogy 21:42 - Suzanne 26:16 - Swing Low Sweet Chariot 31:31 - Down on Me 35:56 - Carry It On 40:01 - Gentle on My Mind 44:01 - Green Green Grass of Home 49:36 - Coo Coo 54:02 - Combination of the Two 👉 If this session moved you, hit LIKE, drop a comment telling us which voice hit you hardest, and SUBSCRIBE to Lost Blues Seasons for more legendary tributes, historic concert recreations, and live concert-style sessions every week. 🔁 Share this with someone who loves 60s folk and blues history. 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss a new session. #LostBluesSeasons #JoanBaez #JanisJoplin #NewportFolkFestival1968 #FolkMusic #BluesRock #LiveConcertMusic #InspiredTribute
