The night was as much a communal outpouring of love as it was a public performance. For, aged 78, the original protest singer's farewell performance was a night filled with much love.
It was also a night of hits and of memories. Communal sing-a-longs were frequent.
To top the final of five encores, and digging deep into her song bag, was "Dink's Song (Fare Thee Well)", not a regular in her repertoire and a number which acquired a particular poignancy here.
Her set-list was:-
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Bob Dylan cover)
There but for Fortune (Phil Ochs cover)
Farewell, Angelina (Bob Dylan cover)
Whistle Down the Wind (Tom Waits cover)
Silver Blade (Josh Ritter cover)
