I am convinced this channel isn't real and is just an algorithm that pumps out videos based on whatever music I've been recently listening to

[elliotpecora]

I get chills every time I even think about the possibility of being at Woodstock. It must have been so special.

[shanevalentine]

Let's be honest, a ton, and I mean a TON of Joni's songs can be analyzed to this extent. Pure poetry. So blessed to have had such great poets and musicians to have graced us with their art.

The most telling part of the Woodstock movie was Hippies leaving ignoring the plea from the loud speakers to clean up after themselves. That moment was the late sixties/early seventies summed up.

Joni is a true genius. I recently read Reckless Daughter, which is a biography of her life and career. I’ve been listening to her music for my entire life, and I would never have been a songwriter if it weren’t for her. Love this video! Thank you for creating this!

[nathangreer]

The concert footage of Santana performing "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock might be the best concert footage of all time. Be sure and find the version that has the full drum solo.

[neugey]

The hippies wanted everlasting peace and love but really they were looking for Skillshare.

The 60s & 70s was the best decades of music ever. It seemed every week a group had a new album coming out and I couldn't wait to hear it. I miss the 70s. It was a good time to grow up.

[shelbelee]

Ladies of the canyon is a masterpiece album. Love Joni. Circle game, morning Morgantown ... basically every song is perfect

[kgipe]

Amazing timing - ashamed to say that only in the past week or two I've finally started digging into Joni's music. What a beautiful ocean this is.

I wanna Polyphonic segment about why 1970s funk bands always focused on outer space and ancient aliens: Earth, Wind & Fire; Parliament; The Commodores; Booties Collins! They were all about aliens and stuff.

I've just discovered her this week... it is definitely destiny that this came out around the same time. We are star dust.

[MedlifeCrisis]

I never knew Joni Mitchell dated Graham Nash! In the UK we try to keep the spirit of Woodstock alive at Glastonbury (CND, flower power, pacifism, environmentalism etc), which started just a few years afterwards (and Michael Eavis, the organiser, said he'd been directly influenced by Woodstock). I guess it did, for many years, before the inevitable commercialisation and explosion of other festivals in the last 15-20 years. There is still a heavy new age and hippy feel to it though.

By the time I got to the comments section
It was half a million strong

i love when polyphonic uploads a new video. and what great timing! got my 12 string and my strat out with my first beer, just sat down and seen the notification. beautiful.

Joni Mitchell's song captured the feel of the time. We are golden, caught in the devils bargain. At that moment in time. Everybody helping each other to stay peaceful and happy. What a concept, what a thought, what a gesture, beautiful, man. David Crosby nailed it with his song "Long time gone" It was a "long time" comin', it's gonna will be a "long time" gone before anything close to that will happen again. There are many documentaries about Woodstock, educate and enlighten yourself at what did happen, it's history! Joni's LP "Court and Spark" Is one of my "alone on a desert island" must haves. IMHO Her best by far.

Glad you're doing more videos on Joni, she was truly an amazing artist

[Brucaleeffo]

I've been listening to Joni these past few weeks. A nice coincidence you drop a video about one of her songs!

[TheSharkaDark]

I can’t imagine the amount of people and the feelings driving to their movement. It is such a huge number, and the amount of power and feeling in songs like this give me emotions I do not feel very often. Love this video.
