I have many Jesses in my life 💔

It's obvious that everyone was in awe and genuinely moved by her performance🤗

One special lady...love from Ireland. Anyone know the backstory to this song? Joan Baez did a beautiful cover

Nice.

My sister and I met her in dulin two weeks ago,it brought my sister back to when at 17,it brought her tears of joy.janis ian is something something very special in my sister's heart.

I love this song and never knew Janis Ian co- wrote it. I almost always cry when I hear Nanci Griffin sing it on that CD.

Came here looking for a live performance of this song and was not disappointed.

❤❤❤

大好きです

26.12.2023...crying at her beauty.....

Fantastic!

Beautiful

Still sounds like a song bird

I consider this one of Janis' best songs. It always brings me to tears.

I've been listening to one of my favorite composers and vocalists, all evening. Janis is underappreciated, in my book!

Her voice has grown older, but has aged as gracefully as Janis. This song is still as beautiful and poignant as it was when it was new. I much prefer Janis's version of her song, over the popular version by Roberta Flack.

LATE NIGHT, WE ALL ARE WORKING IN THE DESIGN STUDIO AND WE WOULD STOP TAKE A BREAK PUT OUR HAND ON OUR HEART AND SING SILLY HABITS SUCH FOND MEMORIES THANK YOU JANIS

Godlike!

Cool story! I still have that album. Always loved your songs . I always wished I could write poetry like your lyrics. I’ll never forget At Seventeen. I still have that album too.

Hey mam, been listening to you since I was 18. 80's. Meaningfull and beautifull music, Thankyou.

I learned the truth at 17 that love was made for beauty queens - oh how that stings, how true at 17. And today, and of course, Jesse come there’s a hole in the bed where we slept - I’m leaving the light on the stairs - I’ll wait for you. How many of us felt that pain, I love Janis - she helped me thru some hard times. Mahalo Janis Ian.

This is my favorite Janis Ian song - I never heard this story to accompany it. Awesome!

Aw shucks, wonderful version of Jesse... I once drove a cab in Toronto and delivered Janis and a few of hers to a downtown hotel in Toronto from a not terribly good Chinese restaurant in the east end... I drove her without saying a word BECAUSE! When we go to the hotel the band dumped out of the cab and left her with the tab... I said, No, not for you... Her artistry has so enriched me, has been in my heart forever... Thank-you for posting this and thank-you forever, Janis. -Brian Vanderlip

I love you Janis!

Outstanding. Simply Outstanding. Thank you 😊

I went to see this remarkable woman in columbus ohio in May 2022...I will never forget it...ever...She is remarkable...and a voice of reason amid the din of today's youth. She did not do this song....Buy her last album....it is amazing...Thank you Janis...

Great story, great song and man Janis, you play like it is your second skin.

Genius. Period.

Jazzy Janis

Toen ik dit nummer voor het eerst hoorde (live), kreeg ik kippenvel. Kwam hard binnen. Mijn moeder kon niet meer zingen iets wat ze altijd had gedaan ❤

10代の頃まさしくそのlpを聞いておりました。ありがとう その頃は将来の不安に押し潰されそうでした。でもそれは可能性だということが当時は分からなかった。 歳をとって初めて分かることもあるんです。

I was so blessed to see her in Santa Cruz, CA about 6-8 yrs ago. I'd read her book Society's Child, so good..... I just love her she's just so down to earth and talented. I brought my Stars album and she signed it. What an honor to hear her play and sing live. Let alone get to meet her. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love you Janis!!! We saw you at The Greek when you opened for Dan Fogelberg. You walked out with a black guitar and filled my soul with your smooth , clear voice, oooohh and that picking of Acousticville! well I lived and worked in that desert town near where I imagined that your Corvette broke down, thinking you wrote that song about Victorville!! I now own a D-18 and it's become a good friend. Hoping to play your music someday! Thank you!

lovely stuff - great story too - thanks Janis for all the great songs

Janis writes music, her lyrics are poetry, her voice so sweet, plays guitar and piano. What a true talent she is!!!

Love this Joan, so uplifting and so you! 👏🌹

I heard this song performed by Arlo with a nod to Janis and it has taken me years to hear her version and so glad i did. She sure still has it. My thanks for sharing...

素晴らしい！😂

Nanci passed away last Friday and I am still super sad about losing this kind soul who brought light to our dark world. Janis was the first artist whose music I obsessed over. That was in the late 60’s. Still love her music so much. Discovered Nanci’s music in the late 80’s. Two supremely talented songwriters who are super novas in my heart. I am glad Nanci reached out to Janis and got to record this song on her Grammy winning recording “Other Voices, Other Rooms”. Nanci wanted songs from artists who influenced her greatly in the music business. Obviously, Janis was someone she greatly admired.

My name, Jesse 😍😍😍

Even lacking the fabulous bass playing by Victor Krauss this is a very charming performance!

This should be on everyone's playlist. It should have thousands of likes. Great writing, singing and guitar playing.

Thank you, Janis. Your voice is so beautiful.

Personable, personable, personable! ☺️

Big E ( 6) dropped in D ?

Wonderful music & story telling from the Maestro herself ! the one & only Ms. Ian. ~:~

年を召されても人に響く歌声をお持ちですね～💖🎶凄いですね😃

I bought the album when it first came out, Jesse was my very favourite track then and still is. A haunting love song
