JOAN BAEZ TOOK THE STAGE


after one a.m. Clarion-voiced
(and clearheaded—she
was one of the few artists
there who steered clear of
getting high), Baez gave a
performance that provided
a perfect ending to day one.
At around two o’clock she
delivered a gorgeous rendition
of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,”
something of a lullaby for half a
million weary souls.
