Isle of Wight Festival, Afton Down, Isle of Wight, Britain, 8-27-1970 to 8-30-1970 - 8-30-1970: Part 7: Joan Baez

This is the seventh album from the last day of the 1970 Isle of Wight festival. It's an acoustic set by Joan Baez.

I've described in other write-ups how, when I posted most of the music from this festival in 2023, I didn't post a few of the sets due to poor sound quality. This is one of those sets, along with ones from Donovan and Richie Havens. But as I write this three years later, audio editing technology improved enough for me to hopefully clean these up enough to make them worth listening.

For whatever reason, out of the three, this Baez one probably sounds the best. Most of it comes from an audience bootleg. But a couple of the songs come from other sources which are a lot better, for instance "Let It Be." Perhaps the crowd was quieter, since it was late at night by this time. Also, there don't seem to be as many airplanes flying overhead as during the Donovan set, which took place in the middle in the day. Still one more lucky thing is that the taper recorded most of the banter between songs, when virtually none of that was recorded for the Donovan and Richie Havens sets. 

I ran this music through various audio editing filters, the same ones I described in my write-up for the Donovan album. So that helped. But still, beware. One can only do so much with problematic source material. This sounds okay now, but it still sounds worse than most of the other music from this festival. 

This album is an hour and two minutes long.
