I'M 71 I have seen and listened to all types of music groups and singers, but this simply is the best performance I have ever heard, considering it was made in a club with none of todays modern production methods it is sheer genius by an angel who flew away far to soon. RIP Eva.
Said it before and I'll say it again. NEVER oversings the narrative. THAT'S why she's the greatest singer in recorded history. No other great singer in any genre can cover the ground Eva does. She's not only the best at what SHE does, but she's as good or better than them at what THEY do. Singular. There never was before nor will there ever be another like her. RIP, Eva.
Jeff Jones Only Aretha Franklin is on the same level. She has always been the singer I considered the very best in my lifetime - until I heard this incredible singer, Eva Cassidy, in 1998. Aretha’s still the top of my singer’s totem pole, but Eva is on the same rung, no question. It is amazing to hear.
@@larrypower8659 Aretha is amazing but lacks the tenderness, and thus the chill-evoking quality, for me at least. The first time I heard Eva it summoned Robert Flack's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, that pure, unadorned, ethereal delivery of a vocal. That song undoubted influenced Eva's development.
@larry nash. Eva’s “Rainbow” is the best version ever, imho. Brings tears to my eyes every time. In fact, I can’t watch it that often because I get too emotionally involved. Truly amazing.
@quarter_moon and_a_guitar. The difference may be, Aretha sang more with the verve and energy of her personality and outlook on life. I’ve always felt Eva did the same thing but with that said, Eva’s outlook and personality seemed to be quite different from Aretha’s. The Queen of Soul was brash, supremely talented, and she knew what she wanted. Eva didn’t seem to want much of anything from her music, much less her career. Her singing seemed to come from a place of melancholy. You can always hear that touch of sadness in everything. It’s really that blue feeling we all get but Eva seemed to have it in spades. In music, we all play or sing who we are; it’s one the eternal truths of Art. Both of these fantastic ladies sang and played WHO they were. In Aretha’s catalog there are many instances of downright sad- ness and vulnerability, but that is certainly not what she was known for, nor did she want to be portrayed as such. Aretha experienced the prejudice of racism and misogyny (hope I spelled that right). She fought to rise above it, which is revealed in her music. Eva, I think, just wanted to BE. She showed who she was through her music and that was enough for her. It’s really kind of existential, not that either of them considered themselves “existentialist.” Lau Tzu, the Chinese philosopher, wrote that, “The way to do is to be, and the way to be is to do.” We love both of these fantastic women of song. They WERE, and that’s all they needed to BE ... Stay safe and take good care, Mister 1/4 Moon.
I read Elton John said she had one of the three known perfect voices in the world. Her purity of tones and emotion bring me to tears more often than not.
@@MarkJohnson-zy4fd and Ann Murray, not to mention Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin who surpass everyone, albeit in a somewhat different style. Just my 2 cents.
So glad we all still have her music in our lives. Such a "PURE" voice. None better, even now all these years later. So beautiful. Wish she was still with us, but wasn't to be unfortunately. Sings to sell out crowds in heaven now. God rest, angel. Thank you.
Been a musician all my life and consider myself somewhat of a musicologist. Recently discovered Eva ..... and I can't believe what I've been missing all these years. What a pure, beautiful tone to her voice and she delivers the song with such passion and soul. The best singer that nobody knows about I guess.
Fist time hearing her and my goodness her voice!!!! Literally brought tears to my eyes. You can feel her soul in her voice, beautiful. I wish I could have had the opportunity to see her live.
I read these comments and people feeling sad about Eva leaving us at such a young age...don't be sad people..99.9% of people born on this planet will leave no visible sign that they were ever here except they have passed their DNA on to a new generation. Eva didn't pass her DNA on, but she did leave a legacy that will mesmerise people for generations to come.
Great way to look at it. We all would like to leave a mark, but most are quickly forgotten. 24 years later I am enjoying her music. Wish I had found her sooner when she was alive. Typical artist that is more famous after gone, and she was a real artist.
@@kennethgustjr.2798 Aretha had that same humility, as well. Would have done a duet with her in a heartbeat. Wouldn’t that have been Something? The Queen and The Songbird. Rip, ladies. 🙏🏾🕊♥️😢
EVERYTIME!!!!! whenever I hear her sing.. its like my chest just gets full of emotions.. pulling me out of reality into something else.. like I am floating or something! Definitely tears the more I hear this song..
Neil Booth I agree. Immaculate is the right word so far as my heart can tell. In music or elsewhere she is the only person that brings on goosebumps and tears whenever I hear her. She something else, a phenomenon, everyone of us that's affected by her knows it.

I'm right behind you - just found out about Eva tonight! Immaculate and liquid gold are both perfect, with a lot of packed emotion in every note she sings. It's hard to get enough ....
She opted out of fame and turned down a lot of offers. She valued her private life and her ability to sing her favorite songs in her way regardless of genre. The big time music business pigeon holes people.
I can plan to listen to a song or two of Eva's songs, and easily end up listening to more and more and hours have gone by. Breath taking, often find myself with welling tears not of grief but of awe and being touched by her heart filled songs.
Don't know if I've ever heard Eva sing without chills, goosebumps.. They say great voice about many people, but she just gets straight into your heart somehow in a way that is so uniquely Eva Cassidy..
From an interview with Doug MacLeod, who wrote Nightbird. Interviewer: Your songs have been recorded by many artists, so which are your favorite interpretations? Doug: I have a couple of favorites. One was Eva Cassidy’s version of Nightbird. That song is about a prostitute, a prostitute that I used to live with who really watched out for me. I have no idea if Eva Cassidy knew what that song was about and I never heard it until my wife played it for me during a drive to Los Angeles from San Luis Obispo. I’m a huge baseball fan and my team, the Cardinals from St Louis, were playing the Dodgers and I wanted to listen to the game. My wife said “I got something for you to hear”, and I said, “But the Cardinals are on” and she said “This is more important than the Cardinals” and she put this CD on of Eva Cassidy. I tell you, it moved me so much, I pulled over to the side of the road and I was weeping. I have never done that song again. When people ask me to do Nightbird, I tell them that if they want to hear THE version, she is the one to listen to. And then of course she died before I got a chance to meet her to ask her how she interpreted it like that.
My Friend who was a great guitarist, he taught when he was too old to play. He said she was an Angel, I said the Angels weep at the beauty she emanates when she sings. She knew she was dying of cancer when she did this set. Such talent, such a loss.
Wow. Yet another song in which the voice of an angel manages to bring me to tears. Thank you Eva, thank you to the team involved and and especially thank you to the dude who plays some of the most beautiful guitar soloing ever. XXXX
I’m sure this amazing talented beautiful soul is still singing up there with the angels. I can only think that God wanted her to come back home because he missed her so much. 🙏🏼🇬🇧
I'm 61 now. I feel Eva Cassidy's music, every aspect of it, emotion, delivery, true essence of her notes, and certainly her sweetness will be part of my last decade or perhaps 2 Lord willing.
Here I am 5 years later still listening to Eva and will forever. Beautiful tragic loss. 'For her memory now she's gone' That nightbird and songbird still lives on through her music. Rest in peace beautiful talented Eva. You were a jewel.x
i just found Eva... didn't even know she flew away. now i'm sad. but i'm glad i found her. God, thank You, for Eva Cassidy and her beautiful voice and her music. may she be resting in Your Perpetual Light.
Thank you Bryan McCulley for recording all these magical performances by Eva. I can't even imagine what privilege it was to actually be there in person, but if I close my eyes I feel like Eva is singing next to me for me and me alone.
Sorry for your loss. Your Mom must have been super special. She got to hear Eva while she was still with you. Now she gets to hear her All The Time. What a Blessing.🙏🏾🕊♥️
I first heard her while I was sitting in a Starbucks, and Fields of Gold came on.I got chills, and asked the barista who was singing. She went and found out, then gave me the name of Eva Cassidy. I later found the CD Songbird in my dad's collection after he passed away, as well as a couple of her jazz CDs. I've listened to them all several times over. Never get tired of hearing her, and the music never gets old. Legendary talent, gone way too soon.
@@Mark.H.9192 And she was sick with a head cold. She cried at the thought of releasing this album (live at Blues alley). She's has high standards I'd say. :)
I found my home, my favorite songs sung by a voice so incredible it will make the angels sit down and weep. God must have wanted her in heaven for all our loved ones who passed to hear her as their reward.
When Eva does a song, consider it done. Her flawless delivery has rarely been equalled and never surpassed. A true musical genius and a voice that will echo through the ages to come.
Une pure merveille Merci Eva Tu me berce tu as bercé mon chéri avant qu'il ne rejoigne son père céleste J'espère qu'il te rencontre... Comme j'espère aussi le faire au moment voulu Pas de tristesse Juste un excellent partage Là où tu es
This hit straight to my heart with enough tears to fill the Mississippi River perhaps it was 20 years over due. My last live performance on Beale Street at Silky O Sullivan's and then over to BB Kings. This is the song I last sang in 1995 I had lost my biggest fan my little 10 yr old son in a tragic accident and felt that was the day the night bird flew away and took my little boy to perhaps sit down and meet the man in the moon (yes every time I watch a movie with the little fishing off the moon I smile and think of my son). I walked away from singing that night after Beale Street and have never been back to visit the Blues on Beale until right now I have always been a fan of Eva Cassidy but never knew she sang this song until tonight it popped up my suggestions for music thank you TH-cam for the incredible moment you gave me.
Music has always moved me emotionally to some degree, but Eva Cassidy's unfathomed vocal abilities profoundly affect and mesmerize me like no other. I'm forever grateful for Eva Cassidy and those who have preserved Eva's music!!!
Such a beautiful voice....... heart breaking to know she passed away ,so young.........her music and lovey voice will never pass away. .........l.. am tuned to all her music,, once I hear her Can’t stop listening ..each one is a winner. God Bless you Eva...."..you left us treasures........
So effortless... So incredible! Eva you were amazing and I weep that you are no longer with us. I know you are in Heavens Choir and I know I will get to see you someday! A Lady for the Ages!
to have found this wonderful lady has helped me cope with ptsd.....in 2017 we have fires..floods...hurricanes .....people in authority who are morons puttin divisions in everyones life.....the only way to cope i have found is to be purified by the sweetest angelic voice i have ever heard and i do believe music does and can heal a weary soul........
wow! me too! and i actually got to sing song with her! we did WILD HORSES together one night but she just blew me away so just did harmony on higher regisiter! it was so cool! and she was just one of the guys always! it was amazing to me because i could see her genius but she was so humble grateful for what it was we had then--back then we could have Emily lou Harris or Bonnie Raitt for instance but Eva kicked them all out of the box--one night at the Childe Harold bar at DuPont Circle emily lou did her set and Springsteen was there and Eva just picked up the guitar and blew everyone away! what fun! but sad today cause shes gone
She was a perfect singer. There are no words to convey how she makes the listener feel, especially those who are singers themselves. She inspires me so very much.
My spirit just lifted , flown over the rainbow to Eva to say thank you for the six minutes of my time that wasnt wasted...god needed you guys there...love you Eva, and your uniqe voice, may you live foreverxxx
I am certain she is in Heaven and no longer in pain from the terminal cancer that took her from us much too soon. She was also an artist; I'm sure you can find some of her work online. Multitalented.....beautiful soul!
@@mstyblu2 You probably know this by now; but a couple of DJ’s in the UK (she was Very popular there) and Australia convinced her family to let them respectfully market her music. I think there are about 12 albums. I think if you Subscribe on uTube, or Google, you’ll be able to get ahold of some, if not or all, of her albums. Enjoy!🕊♥️

My parents would have been 77 this year. Eva was played in our home. They taught my twin brother and me how to jitterbug to her cheek to cheek ❤️🙏🏼
I’m 66 years old now and I’m Hypnotized by her voice and songs
I’m 68 Years Old Now and still Blowen Away By You Eva Bless Your Angelic Soul
Amen 🙏
The More I Listen to her sing 🎶 the More I’m Blown Away
👼
Amen..🙏
Amen. so glad have the ability to watch this concert weekly. Amazing best female vocal talent imo
My goodness,
......there really are no words...........
My prayer is everyone gets to hear this beautiful angel...........
I have been a fan for yrs. Thanks to FB. I am always going back to her music. She was so special. Had a unique natural gift
I’ve turned many loved ones onto Eva ❤
The angels gather round and listen when she sings.
Anyone else listening to this in lock down? Stay safe everyone this is where I had to come to stay sane
I'm with you Rachel.
We listen to Eva all the year round and have done for years...glad you have found this amazing woman...
Where else would you go....just listen to some honesty...Eva will always bring you to truth..
Always listen to Eva or Willie Nelson when a need some comfort...not his country stuff but the ballads..
GREAT CHOICE !!! I'M THERE WITH YA !!! STAY SAFE :)
Feel silly that I am just finding her and her music.....My life is a little better for it.......thank you Eva
Welcome friend; I felt the same.
well said. i feel the same. thank you.
She had a voice that could soothe every nerve in your body. Gone way too soon
Tim Glover same
Better late than never!!
Dang! Her voice goes directly to the listener's heart. ❤️

I listened to the two discs of Nightbird today. Greatest one night performance of any singer ever recorded.

As she did for so many already wonderful songs, she "owns" this one and then gladly gives it to us for free so wonderfully. True talent.
Everytime she hits that high note, it sends chills down my body.

First time I heard the live album, she changed my life.... Too short a life.....
I have no words other than passion with precision rest in peace we all still hear you

I walked away from singing that night after Beale Street and have never been back to visit the Blues on Beale until right now I have always been a fan of Eva Cassidy but never knew she sang this song until tonight it popped up my suggestions for music thank you TH-cam for the incredible moment you gave me.
Condolences.🥺 Now our Songbird can sing to him All The Time.🕊
Music has always moved me emotionally to some degree, but Eva Cassidy's unfathomed vocal abilities profoundly affect and mesmerize me like no other. I'm forever grateful for Eva Cassidy and those who have preserved Eva's music!!!
To sing with such felling and in a small club wished i was there Fantastic.
Sweet Eva...can't ever get enough of this angel.
I cry every time I hear her sing ..So deep so soulful so real
No one like her then and no one like her now !!!
Una voz maravillosa. Es un placer y un honor escucharla. Que lástima que se fuera tan joven. Gracias Eva. Descanse en paz.
Eva was the best of the best. What a voice and what great treatment of the song.
Amazing how one person can affect, so many lives.
Thank you Eva
Eva you gave us something we today cherish, sorry you didn't feel the way you have left us now. Thank You.
For her memory now, she's gone. You are an angel, eva.
You are amazing singer. And you bring tears to my eye. You have been giving a gift. When you sing you touch a person heart.
Smiles, absolutely amazing indeed, feels really great listening, how are you doing? 🌺 😊
Man. What a talent. What a soulful talent. Never be another like her. Just such a gift to listen to anything she sings.
Smiles, hello Maureen 🌺 😊
Amazing Voice. Thank you Eva Cassidy and Thank you U Tube. Rest in peace Eva Cassidy.
This wonderful woman was amazing, so much talent was robbed from this earth.
Such a beautiful voice....... heart breaking to know she passed away ,so young.........her music and lovey voice will never pass away. .........l.. am tuned to all her music,, once I hear her Can’t stop listening ..each one is a winner. God Bless you Eva...."..you left us treasures........
You can feel her voice!! What an incredible instrument she was!!
Corina Taylor nice way to describe Eva.It is unexplainable ,I have tried :)
So effortless... So incredible! Eva you were amazing and I weep that you are no longer with us. I know you are in Heavens Choir and I know I will get to see you someday! A Lady for the Ages!
to have found this wonderful lady has helped me cope with ptsd.....in 2017 we have fires..floods...hurricanes .....people in authority who are morons puttin divisions in everyones life.....the only way to cope i have found is to be purified by the sweetest angelic voice i have ever heard and i do believe music does and can heal a weary soul........
we was havin' such a nice moment didja' really have to drag politics into this? R.I.P. Eva Cassidy
Brenda Jackson: I got you ... a nice christmas season and a Happy New Year as well as beautiful music along all the way to you.
AGREE!!!! EVA ANGEL WENT HOME! THANK YOU EVA.
wow! me too! and i actually got to sing song with her! we did WILD HORSES together one night but she just blew me away so just did harmony on higher regisiter! it was so cool! and she was just one of the guys always! it was amazing to me because i could see her genius but she was so humble grateful for what it was we had then--back then we could have Emily lou Harris or Bonnie Raitt for instance but Eva kicked them all out of the box--one night at the Childe Harold bar at DuPont Circle emily lou did her set and Springsteen was there and Eva just picked up the guitar and blew everyone away! what fun! but sad today cause shes gone
@@douglasfarrow8109 Was any of this recorded?
She had such a presence. I wish we could have watched her continue on. RIP love.
It never fails. Every time I listen to Eva do this song, I end up in tears.
Her voice and her life were one thing. Such power and purity.
..wow! Im lost for words..just got introduced to eva..🤗😍
Emotional and beautiful! "For Her Memory, Now She's Gone..."
My God! What a Loss to life and music. Eva Cassidy One of the VERY greatest singers!
She was a perfect singer. There are no words to convey how she makes the listener feel, especially those who are singers themselves. She inspires me so very much.
Smiles, hi Tara 🌺 😊
Lovely, beautiful, amazing, brilliant....the list goes on! Eva was mesmerizing! The band also incredible.
Truly one of the most gifted singers ever. Never 'over sang' like so many today, just perfection.
Words could not explane.
She always leave me breathless. She can sing any type of music flawlessly.
There are no words....
I just discovered her a few years ago. I take her departure as a personal loss. What a voice.
What an angel - so sad she's no longer with us - I could listen to her 24/7
My spirit just lifted , flown over the rainbow to Eva to say thank you for the six minutes of my time that wasnt wasted...god needed you guys there...love you Eva, and your uniqe voice, may you live foreverxxx
Much aapreciated,Eva. Cassidy!
One of my favourite songs by her . She is the best vocalist that ever lived.
I am certain she is in Heaven and no longer in pain from the terminal cancer that took her from us much too soon. She was also an artist; I'm sure you can find some of her work online. Multitalented.....beautiful soul!
@@mstyblu2 You probably know this by now; but a couple of DJ’s in the UK (she was Very popular there) and Australia convinced her family to let them respectfully market her music. I think there are about 12 albums. I think if you Subscribe on uTube, or Google, you’ll be able to get ahold of some, if not or all, of her albums. Enjoy!🕊♥️
I listen to her when I take my furbabies for a ride and they just are so relaxed. They fall asleep
Amen she is one of a kind!
Soulful . May you RIP 😢❤
I’m 42 years old and have listened to a lot of music of all genres. How have I not heard this lady sing until now? 🤷🏻♂️
This LADY makes my heart bleed. Reminds me of my ex of 30 years ."MAW " .⚘💔
I still LOVE HER so much & miss her to no end. .💔🙏⚘❤
Will always love you marcia ann williams your locked in my heart ,.🙏⚘❤💔
