- I know Nanci Griffith fans have been wanting this for a while and since I was devastated by her recent passing, I decided to post it in her honor. This video came from an old VHS tape that was copied from an even older VHS tape, so don't expect great quality-- but it's better than nothing, right?
The VHS to digital transfer was done courtesy of an EasyCAP device and a wonderful program called Debut Video Capture Software from NCH Software. Thanks to ACL for introducing me to Nanci Griffith.
I had met Nanci several times and she was a warm, sweet and beautiful person who affected my life more than she ever knew. God sent an angel for us to love for 68 years before he took her back home.
Thank you for so much, Nanci; rest well.

![Nanci Griffith - Other Voices, Too (1998) [Full Show] Rare](/img/tr.png)
In 1985, I had come home after a day's work, showered, made dinner, sat down in front of the TV that just happened to be tuned to my PBS station ... and this show came on. Within a few days, I had purchased her first three albums and, over the years, continued to collect them all as they were released. I absolutely love this woman. Thank you, Nanci, for all the beautiful music, your lovely voice, and the lyrical stories from your heart and soul that you shared with us.
I did the exact same thing
Like you--I did almost the very same thing-I miss her music so much, but savour her musical legacy.....
Can I ask where you live (I write a journal and will not post ANYTHING you tell me online !) I am in Newfoundland, Canada--an island in the North Atlantic ocean.......are you in Hawaii ?
Yes, if you don't mind saying your name. We would love to quote you in our newspaper.
@@benkleschinsky What newspaper? Do you have a link?
@@VideoGuyHawaii I'm writing an article for an Artist Spotlight series called... If you haven't heard Nanci Griffith yet what are you waiting for? I was including quotes from fans to describe her enthusiasm and obituary, and I came across what you wrote and thought it was really good. So thought I would ask. I am a current student at UMASS Lowell. I can just leave a last name initial as well if you prefer. Thanks.
I remember going to see her in Boulder, Colorado in 1986. I loved her music so much and was hoping she could pull me out of the worst broken heart and darkest depression any human could have. I got there early and shared a table with a nice couple who took pity on me. Her music was just enough to save me, and to boot, when she asked if Mary Margaret was there with her husband, my two new friends stood up!
You couldn't make this stuff up
That my friend, is a GREAT story! Thanks for sharing.
That is wonderful! I've beena longtime fan and secretly in love with Nanci the whole time (Don't tell my wife!). Felt like I lost a soul mate when she passed.
Wow I don't know her story but now I know why we identify. I tried too save a child like me once. Betrayed in the worst ways.
This brings tears to my eyes for its beauty.
@@constancewalsh3646 Incomparable beauty, thank you. precious
My life became more beautiful when I discovered Nanci Griffith! 😍
Me too. So sorry I found her so late. I cannot stop listening to her voice and her amazing songs. She is singing in heaven for sure. 💖
My thoughts exactly! She has captivated me fully!
I just discovered her thanks to chat on Mori Point, Pacifica live cam while watching a beautiful setting of Once in a Very Blue Moon.
True.
Thanks for going to the trouble to dub this from your old VHS tape. My local PBS station last night aired a rerun of the Austin City Limits season finale from last February -- a compilation of some of Nanci's best performances on the show. It included only a couple of songs from this set, so thanks again for posting the whole thing.
Our local PBS station WUSF replayed the ACL show you describe just a few days ago. I, thankfully, saved it to our DVR & then fell into this TH-cam algorithm rabbit hole & haven't quite made it out yet, thank god.
This is the Nanci my dear husband and I knew. Thank you ❤️
If you didn't grow up in the 70 s and 80 s you could never know how beautiful this music is it like going home to me and people our age
I remember this on Austin City Limits. This was the first time I remember seeing Nanci. Loved her music ever since.
Really like the 'ping' to that lead guitar.
My father recorded this performance on Beta and I used to watch it a lot as a little kid. Thanks for posting this, I feel like I'm reliving the greatest hits of childhood.
Thank you for sharing this! I saw this when it originally aired on TV. I just fell in love with her voice. Rest in peace, Nanci. Thank you for giving your music to the world.
This was the raw Nanci ..that I loved
Thank you so very much....she was and is still is a brighter, daily light for so many, like myself, in these times....thank you!!
Nanci was special .. when others made noise, she made music.
Nicely put
I watched ACL years but only if i recognized the artist. Boy was I wrong. I'd never heard of her until her passing, unfortunately. I love her voice and hope someday I can listen to her without a lump in my throat.
Thank you. Austin City Limits is how I first heard this Angel.
I came too late to discover how superb this lady was. That voice it is country folk at its very best. Her song The flyer got me hooked on her music, its so sad it really is a crying shame she left us so so early. Far too early.
This was my first time seeing Nanci! Moved to Texas that year, Copperas Cove...never had cable til then and happened to catch ACL...so glad I did! Collected all of her albums from then on and was lucky enough to see her live twice...was so saddened to hear of her passing as she'd been "traveling" with me all over the world since that day in '85! Thanks for the miles and music Nanci, RIP
Of all the great story tellers that have come and gone in time, my favorite will always be a gal named Nanci Griffith. She had such a unique voice and an infectious smile. When she sang her stories you just felt like you were right there with her. I will miss you forever my Texas rose.
I touched her hand and she touched my heart .
Back when talent morphed the industry.
Maybe the best thing I have ever seen.
Marvelous considering this is 3rd generation copy. Thanks hadji828 for sharing. Peace from the UK.
this angel with the beautiful voice is NOW singing in heaven... RIP nancy ....and ty for this priceless post
Why do you say shes in heaven?
Ameer Nanci Griffith died a couple of years ago!
I loved her and the Austin music since the 1907's, that dates me. My dad was in or lead bands from the 1961 in and near there and all that. I was lucky to meet many of these pickers. I loved that she was as down to earth, with a big heart as she seemed, but she did have big dreams. Love the way she never changed, and always sung with that Texans twang, that we all loved...
Thanks for the beautiful comment-- though I'm pretty sure you meant the "1970s... " 😉
I’ve heard several versions of The Ballad of Robin Winter-Smith but this one is the best. Wish I could get it on my music service.
ACL 1985. This was when I fell in love with Nanci and her songs.
Nice job pulling this out from ancient archives! Everybody seeing this gives you a very sincere THANK YOU!! for your efforts and generous sharing with all of us.
Such a great voice! I am very glad one day I discovered this wonderful talented singer. She is a true gem in the history of country music. Deep gratitude for sharing this video with her!
This was the very first time I saw Nanci, and I always thought it would be impossible to watch again. Thanks again for taking the time to capture and post this video. It's a great gift to all of us who are sad at her passing.
Thank-You, Hadji, for this wonderful post. Nanci was a beautiful songstress., full of melodies, harmonies, short stories and genuine compassion. No time for trickster productions or record company compromises. RIP, Angel. You mean so much to so many.
I’m grieving for her and another great we lost recently, John Prine. They were two of my absolute favorites. 🎶❤️🙏🏼
I discovered Nanci when I was particularly broke! Yes, I got CD's from the Libary and 'copied them'. Naughty, yes but over time I bought them and I do not regret "illegally copying them"....
I have never seen this performance and I thought I had seen everything that TH-cam had for her.She has been a favorite of mine since I first saw her on a ACL circa 1988.What a loss to those of us who loved her "at a distance".I shall wear this out watching it.Thank you.
Thank you for the effort in getting this up here. Nancy was surely a unique artist, a singular lady.
Philip Donnelly passed in late 2019, just a few months before his lifelong friend John Prine and sadly then Nancy herself.
Philip was instrumental in expanding Nancy's reach and popularity in Ireland and Northern Europe. Others helped too as JP's wonderful speed of the sound arranged by Donnelly made big in Europe,
Wonderful folk, country and RnR legends that were not afraid to try something different.
Rest gently in peace, each and every one of them 🙏🙏❤️
That's a very young Lyle Lovett doing harmony vocals on "Once in a Very Blue Moon". I just love Nanci! I have everything she has ever recorded! (:
hearing this kind of heartfelt music, makes me feel there is hope for Texas.
Wonderful, also great backing vocals by Denice Franke
Lyle also
Thank you very much . I miss her very much.
Thank you so much for uploading this. It is a great show and so good to watch it.
Thanks so much for putting this up. Nancy and I were born on the same day a half a continent away from each other and I've enjoyed her music and had a bit of a crush on her for many years. What a gift she was to music. RIP Nancy.
thank you for posting this. it fills a hole in her videography. there just isn't any way to get enough of her fantastic talent.
Thank you for posting this. Watching and listening to Nanci perform in her first ACL appearance, which helps to relieve the grief some of us are feeling, by reminding us of the tremendously angelic, beautiful, tranquil, and joyful music she inspired us with.
This is a touch of irony, Nanci Departed in the season of not just one but two blue moons. Rest amongst the angels from whence you came Nanci!
12:49 Once In a Very Blue Moon
Did my heart good too see this again...
Thank you so much for sharing.
This is so sweet! And thank you, hadji828, so much for the effort to post it! She was only three years older than me, and now is gone. Saw her many times. Once, her voice floated into my kitchen window when I was washing dishes one summer night, playing live at a nearby outdoor concert that I missed, or maybe I didn't. Loved her for a very long time --"my older woman, Mary Margaret."
Thanks for sharing. Such a wonderful look back. Miss her.......
thanks for posting
What a great gift you brought us with this video. Her music has filled my life for years and I shed actual tears when I heard she passed. BTW: Did you notice that Lyle Lovett was one of her back-up singers? Amazing!
Check out older vid of them singing at some picnic event
Nanci Griffith had such a beautiful voice and her band was excellent. I never got the opportunity to see her in concert but I have purchased 9-10 of her CDs since she passed away on Friday 8/13/2021.
May Nanci Griffith rest in eternal heavenly peace with all the Angels and Saints in heaven. Nanci you will be sadly and sorely missed by your family, friends and all your fans worldwide.
Yell I sure did love her sweet angle didn't get to meet her but I'm sure God's little angel
A very special talent.
So good. The audio is great. Thank you for doing this. She is still my light.
So wonderful. Thank you.
Very fine concert ... thnx so much 4 sharing!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. 💗
*This is a pretty darn good audio/video recording for being a recording from a recording, a VHS recording at that.*
Well not the full performance but a good bit of it. Thank you so much for posting. This performance was my first exposure to Nanci so many years ago.
Darnit. Just like her life - over in such a short time. I'll be visiting this video repeatedly. Sincere thanks to the one who posted it. That was a special find in my life, that also, was over far too soon.
This was the show that introduced me to Nanci. Thank you for posting!
thank you for posting. I love her music and all.
In case you haven't yet discovered them (as her 'best' music isn't available on Apple or Amazon streaming) I hope you'll find her 'Poet in my Window' and 'Once in a Very Blue Moon' records. Both have that rare quality of recordings one never tires of hearing. I saw Nanci perform many times and met her once. A truly enigmatic person and performer. She had an irresistible attraction about her, somehow combined with a perplexing inexplicable distance. She left us with so much. We're so fortunate to enjoy it.
Thanks very much. Have never seen this one.
Thank you for posting this. I saw Nanci Griffith at the Vancouver Folk Festival that same year. I never heard her before and just followed her incredible voice from 100 yards away. I saw her backstage and said that I really liked her performance and she said that her CD's were for sale at the desk. It wasn't much of a conversation but I am thrilled that I got to talk to her. On another note, if I had a copy of this or any other of her old videos the first thing I would do is run them through Topaz video Enhancer.
Thank you for posting this...loved it!
I have Always. Loved Nanci since I first heard her in '93 So sorry she is not with us now!!❤️
Wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Nanci is much missed x
She is the cutest woman I have ever seen 😊 And so talented 🍻🎸
Wouldn't it be nice if ACL/PBS reran this and/or 1989 show she did as a tribute?
Nanci is so special, a beautiful soul!
I miss that girl And sorry shes gone…
Thank you so very much for posting. this wonderful music. A beautiful gem of a performance. How I wish I could have been in Austin for these concerts. I live in the UK and will forever remember a magical evening seeing Nanci at The Stables, Wavendon, Milton Keynes 'way back when'. At least there will always be these uploads, Nanci's gorgeous LP's and CD's lo listen to for evermore!
.

Wonderful - What a talent - Love her to bits
That's a very good copy from 2nd generation VHS. I saw Nanci twice, once in MA and once in Newcastle, England (with the Crickets). She made it seem like she was singing just to you.
Thanks for posting. I've been looking for this one for years. My favorite Nanci appearance.
Now everiday I listen to he music :)
Talent attracts talent! Did you notice her backers included (among others) Lyle Lovett, Mark O'Connor and Roy Huskey, Jr.?
Amazing
Thanxs for posting.
Austin City Limits should remaster and release this concert edition in full as a tribute to Nancy (they have released other shows on DVD from ACL (SRV, Roy Orbison etc...) This should be released as another in this series. ACL please consider this.
Nanci at her best! RIP sweet woman.
This was the girl I fell in love with
💯💚😊💚💯💯💚 I concur. She is our World's treasure ❤️❤❤.
Ive written a request to ACL to put together a tribute show for Nanci, maybe getting Emmylou to host, featuring parts of her 8 appearances on the show. Go to their website and email them!
It looks like you got your (our) wish!
This woman was a treasure.
Felt a sense of betrayal from my local fm radio station for never introducing me to Nanci. Fortunately I found her on late-nite ACL after a few shots of Jack, and was immediately smitten and transported to other times and places. The radio station that had introduced me to Gordon Lightfoot and Tom Rush, John Prine and others, failed due to the death of one dj who insisted on playing artists who didn't fall into categories
That guitarist sounds like the great Frank Reckard, who replaced Albert Lee in the Hot Band.
I grew up in Austin, lived there from 1980 to 1995. It's always nice to go back for a day or two to visit family, but when I see the city, feel its vibes, it's not the same place I remember, not the same place I fell in love with. Time was you'd drive Ranch Road 2222 out to Hwy 620 and take a left. A mile or two down the road was a little watering hole perched atop a cliff overlooking Lake Travis called the Oasis. Great place to have drink and watch the sun set. Now it's as tacky as an Indian casino. Used to be able to look at downtown and see the Capitol dome and the UT Tower. Now it's forest of cranes. Local bands would play AquaFest while and mom and pop eateries fed the crowds. Now the corporate media empires descend upon the soulless spectacle of South by Southwest. Hearing the music I grew up on, seeing Nanci Griffith in her prime makes me realize just what a special place Austin was at just this moment, a moment those of us who were there were lucky to live through, but will probably never come again.
15:30 - one of my favourite Nanci Griffith songs
The intro here says she combines folk and country. Well I guess she drifted into the country genre fairly well, but the folk part? I know she wanted that and roamed on those stages quite a bit but her shows went way past and beyond folk in instrumental quality and musicianship. Folk generally isn’t very complex or evocative. Nanci was evocative, complex, and theatrical in a professional yet endearing manner instead of merely strumming chords in a minor and croaking out position statements.
Listening to this again I’m noticing how familiar and powerful these songs are. Like a New Year’s hit parade radio show with all those old, big hits. While Nanci’s songs never found their way there they mean more and sound better to me.
She opened for Emmylou Harris at the Capitol Theatre in Concord NH about 1988 and I was there. I’d never heard those kinds of lyrics before, was mesmerized by the vocals. Been a fan ever since.
This is Nanci at her best.
I miss her
Is that Lyle Lovett singing backing vocals? This is a great set. Thank you for sharing it.
That is Lyle!
Yes. And this was taped about a year before Lovett's debut album.
She says his name when introducing the band at the end
Saw her at Anderson Fair. Sweet magic.
I love Nanci Griffith - there I said it . Rip you beautiful woman .
The guy harmonizing with black sweater and curly hair no glasses to the left of Nancy... didn't he become a very famous Country singer and married an also famous movie star and can't remember her name either, maybe it was Julia Roberts... but maybe not? 16:52 I forgot his name. It sure looks like him. So nice of you hadji828 to create this video! Nancy as usual was WOW!
Nanci's longtime friend Lyle Lovett, who was married to Julia Roberts
This is the only time I’ve ever seen footage of her playing a dreadnought guitar…..what appears to be a Martin D-28. She of course used a small body Taylor for most of her career. Looking good and sounding good as always!
There was a Guild guitar pictured on the Last of the True Believers album -- a lot of 80s singer-songwriters played them. The Taylors came later.
And Lyle Lovett on backup, it just doesn't
get any better
AWESOME!, JUST AWESOME!!!
Were we ever that young?
I wish the would release this to dvd and cd. I have a vhs copy as well.
Wow, and Lyle Lovett on background vocals!
Some Nanci Griffith is ALWAYS better than none! That's so cool that you got to meet her. What was the occasion?
It was in Madison, Wisconsin after a show from her "Clock Without Hands" tour, in Chicago around 2001 after a "Concert For A Landmine Free World" show (I was also lucky enough to meet some other headliners from that show) and way back around 1992 or so in Chicago during a Voters For Choice benefit.
