This is an album that I have listened to for years. I bought the LP in the late 70's, the cassette in the 80's on and now I needed the CD.

I love From Every Stage. If you're going to buy only one Joan Baez, it should be this one. It's got all the best of her music, including a few Dylan tunes and Cohen's Suzanne. Baez is so amazing live, and this cd really shows it.

I think it was recorded during the tour for the "Diamonds & Rust" album, and the atmosphere is electric. I love her between-song banter, and the choice of material is superb. The sound is also great throughout, on both the acoustic and electric sides. My favourite is Emmylou Harris' "Boulder To Birmingham" and "Stewball", but I also love her hits The Night They Drove ...
