Funny thing about that violin solo. That was the second time they played the song that nite. Somehow after playing it thousands of time, Martie forgot her part.....That is why, she and the audience shared a chuckle!
They had to redo the song because she had messed up a previous take, and the audience was hip to her challenges so they gave some applause for getting through a difficult part.
I don't think the Chicks ever performed this song better than this. It's better than the studio recording. Their ability to perform live is off the charts. The rest of the band too. So much talent here. The steele playing is sooo good. Then Marties fiddle playing. No words to describe it. Then you have Natalies voice. This performance is a perfect 10 !!
You are probably right. And the Chicks could attract the best Talent. I see renown guitarists Keith Sewell, David Grisson, and Audley Freed, and others. It's curious that on their 2016 tour, the Band was half the size as in 2006. But I didn't notice any diminution of Sound Quality.
My favorite version of this song. And when this special was on, I remember watching a short clip in which Martie forgets how to play the first fiddle solo - so funny!
I could not agree more and I feel exactly the same way.Their harmonies are incredible on this song.This is by far and away the best song they have ever done especially this rendition of Cowboy!
Their TOTAL artistry is superb. These very special people have achieved an immortalizing of truly triumphant country music, and it pains me that they all can't be rendered ageless so as to bless us further with their ever expanding wondrous music. So grateful for TH-cam videos.
These ladies are some of the last of the country music greats. They simply do not make them like this anymore. We love you girls, keep doing what you do because we crave it! I hope you ladies read these comments and see all of the support you have out there, its nothing but love coming your way from Kentucky!
I always want artists to sing and play songs “live” exactly as we first heard on their recordings, that caused us to fall in love with how they performed them, and with them, and made us buy their albums and listen to them hundreds and hundreds of times. They do better than anyone.
Lloyd Maines' solid pedal steel guitar playing on this song is essential to how great it sounds. He is the perfect musician for this group, always playing exactly the right notes at the right time, never showing off and making the tune swing and soar as only a master can.
The Dixie Chicks are always a reminder to me that some of the greatest music and greatest musicians have come out of a place called Texas - even though the "prophets" haven't always gotten the honor they deserve in their own country, so to speak...like Buddy Holly or Janis Joplin.
I absolutely love this song! My Cowboy passed away on Valentine’s Day in 2017. This song helped me in my grief. I” ll be forever grateful to the Dixie Chicks for this song!❤️
my favorite part is 3:33 after the final chorus when they repeat the "closer to you." It starts with Natalie and Emily (mid and lower voice). Then Natalie and Marty (mid and higher voice). Then the camera zooms to all of them and their voices just open a floodgate of energy as they all sing their perfect harmonies. I like how Emily is the only one who changes her voice up and down on the "me" which adds nice subtle movement. Amazing! It all makes the hair on my neck stand up
Many country stations refused to play their music for many years. While I think celebrities should keep their politics to themselves, it sure is good to hear their music on the radio again. I really missed these talented ladies.they
Hello thanks for being a fan,much love❤️❤️ thanks for watching and commenting on our TH-cam channel hope you don’t stop with your love and support🎁 Give us a text on 304 934-3919 or add us on hangouts(Officialdixiechicks@gmail.com)❤️❤️❤️❤️
So I'm gonna be honest...I heard of this song for the first time about a week ago, and didn't listen to it for the first time until today. I'm singing this song with some other people in a musical revue at my school, and now that I've heard it, I can't help but think: what a beautiful song!! I'm so glad my director chose me to be in the ensemble for this.
This is the greatest group in the history of ever and even if you disagree with me, you must admit that this is the greatest group in the history of ever each member can play. God knows how many instruments these are real and true musicians, Natalies voice can cut through steel, these women are absolutely amazing and we are so fortunate that in our lifetime we can say we had the opportunity to experience this amazing music live there will never ever ever be another Dixie Chicks and in case I didn’t say it enough earlier this is the greatest group in the history of the ever!!!!! Please come to Tampa, Florida on your next tour.
Absolutely love the Dixie chicks. Some of the est times of my life happened during this time and every time I hear their music, it brings those memories back. Best all girl group in any genre Nashville threw them under the bus instead of supporting them, the biggest country superstars in 2003, and its shameful how they treat their stars.I hope they make a huge come back because the world is ready for them
These girls are so talented! Vocals are always great, they play multiple instruments along with the full band and writing their own songs.. something your don't see a lot anymore. The instrumentals and vocals on this song are just awesome.
It's a pity I have never had the chance to see the chicks in the Netherlands. Once they were here, 2 concerts sold out wihtin one hour. Love to hear this fantastic songs.
Very sad to know that once again this world lost such a beautiful and talented young woman. RIP dear, gone just too soon. My condolences to the families, friends all over the world 🙏🏽🌹🌹🌷💐🌾🌺
My sister loved this song. She passed on in 2012. When ever I hear this song. I think of her. I miss her it makes me cry. But, it also makes me happy because I know she is still with me.
Agreed, they are awesome musicians regardless of whether you agree with their politics or not. I was heartbroken as a soldier to hear the statements they made. However never changed my opinion on the quality of there music.
I always want soulful country, even if it is on the edge of the sea. sadly we cannot always be loving but we can always be freinds. Is as God has blessed us. Regardless; you Dixie family, it's amazing how you all are amazing. God bless you and peace be with you, 🐢💞🙏 from Australia.
Tonight I noticed the most beautiful thing about this video. At 2:56 the sister on the fiddle finished her part and the people cheered for her performance. Then the camera pans to her sister and she's smiling so happily FOR her sister. Humanity does exist....
Top of my musical concert regrets: Not seeing the Chicks live. Beautiful- and I get goosebumps every time I hear her. Praying for her. She gave up a ton to stay true -
Natalie Maines is absolutely gorgeous in this video. I find this song to be quite comforting in many ways, and listen to it all the time if I need a pick me up for whatever reason.
Tell me why? Yes they were very good, but you're not really country. Real country people don't eat their own...that's what the chicks did. SHAME ON THEM.
bullshit. Bush and Cheney ate their own young, with a war that was based on lies. The Chicks just said what the entire world has come to know. Shame is directed at those who lied, not those who truthed. Real Country people. Right.
ya, well, history is hard on you, I know. Doesn't quite fit the image you wish. Go listen to General Powell. He'll educate you. About facts, and lies...and the scam of this war. The Chicks called it correctly.
+Patti Martin Calling it "correctly" took years to decide. Yes, in hind sight yes. However, at the time Natalie decided to call it "correctly" most of their fans disagreed. How stupid and narcissistic could Natalie be to, apparently, not know her own audience. Natalie killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Only an idiot does that.
Beautiful song. . The fiddle playing is simply out of this world. I wish she would sing It sounds good to me, twice in all of the parts, It makes the transition from one part of the song to another more smooth.
So Happy to see the Chicks on tour in the USA. I will be at the Tampa, FL show. Already have tickets. As for the Chicks it was Natile that held things up. 10 years all of us were denied some great music.
Wow... the sound of the violin was something out of this world... it was heavenly.
Heavenly is still within this world....
I hope Heaven sounds half as beautiful!
You & Me Both..!!!
Best female group ever. 60 and still listening .
Miss the 90's country
Hate that I can only give one "Thumbs Up"
"I want to be the only one for miles and mile, except maybe you, and your simple smile" could be the greatest lyric of all time.
You can thank Marcus Hummon for that one 😊
All. Three. Of. The. Ladies. Are. Beautiful. Great. Music.
if that violin didnt give you chills youre dead inside. she killed that.
Funny thing about that violin solo. That was the second time they played the song that nite. Somehow after playing it thousands of time, Martie forgot her part.....That is why, she and the audience shared a chuckle!
I love how she plays that violin. That is musical talent. It gives me chills too!!!
My daughter slings a violin. Not many can. They do rock
@@kylebaptisto8773 They call it a fiddle. LOL Do you know country music at all?
My favorite part!
Marties smile when they applaud her solo! so adorable and talented
They had to redo the song because she had messed up a previous take, and the audience was hip to her challenges so they gave some applause for getting through a difficult part.
I love her!!!!
@@your_huge_ego_bores_me I doubt this is true since this isn’t an album recording but a live recording!
@@Michael1M6 It's absolutely true, they were making a video and it was the point of the performance.
I don't think the Chicks ever performed this song better than this. It's better than the studio recording. Their ability to perform live is off the charts. The rest of the band too.

I think this is a beautiful song. But don't try to tell me how to think. I will figure that out on my own!!!
Natile has the most unbelievable pipes .
Ohhhhh! ABSOLUTELY!!!❤

More than wonderfull ladies!!! I miss them!! Come back!!!!
My mom used to love the Dixie Chicks. She died back in 2000 when I was 6. When I listen to them today, I feel closer to her...
😥😥🦋🍁☘🌾🍁
So sad yet so beautiful, your mum had great taste for music. She's an Angel in heaven now...lucky her ❤
The Dixie Chicks are always a reminder to me that some of the greatest music and greatest musicians have come out of a place called Texas - even though the "prophets" haven't always gotten the honor they deserve in their own country, so to speak...like Buddy Holly or Janis Joplin.
So very sorry for your loss I do ulknow how you feel I lost my Mother and one of my daughters. God Bless you sweetie..
So sorry for your loss I do understand how you feel I've lost my Mother also and a daughter to suicide. God Bless you sweetie....
VOCALS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD......LEAD SINGER AND BACK UP SISTERS'''TREMEDOUS!!!
This band is mindblowing.. Harmonies.. Songwriting and the vocals are spine chilling
Yes!!
Female CSN.
I absolutely love this song! My Cowboy passed away on Valentine’s Day in 2017. This song helped me in my grief. I” ll be forever grateful to the Dixie Chicks for this song!❤️
sorry about your loss, this song is their only great song,glad it helps you...
🙏. My little brother passed March 17th, 2017. It still fks me up everyday. 😢
The best female band ever!! Always crying coz I cant tell in words what good they are❤
No one sounds like Natalie Maines.
Celine Dion is better
This band has a very special place in my heart. I love them.
The way she says "away" has such a nice accent and tone to it. Her voice didn't change one bit from 1999 that's for sure.
Natural beauty in its glories
Violin chick is not to be played with!!🔥🔥🔥
Simply the Best Female band ever. And this song is Natalie's masterpiece.
Errrr. That’s a bold statement Natalie.
Agree with you, they are the greatest
Love this song
@@horse5407 who's better then them?
@@paulhynes170Heart for one.
THEY'RE TOURING AGAIN NEXT YEAR AND I'M SO EXCITED!! I'VE WAITED 10 YEARS FOR THIS!!!!
Hayley Simmons hi my name is Jackson dunford
The best song they ever recorded. Written by Martie Maguire,the fiddle player, and songwriter Marcus Hummon. ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🙏
my favorite part is 3:33 after the final chorus when they repeat the "closer to you." It starts with Natalie and Emily (mid and lower voice). Then Natalie and Marty (mid and higher voice). Then the camera zooms to all of them and their voices just open a floodgate of energy as they all sing their perfect harmonies. I like how Emily is the only one who changes her voice up and down on the "me" which adds nice subtle movement. Amazing! It all makes the hair on my neck stand up
They make me so happy.
You can't deny the talent, That much I give them.
Great harmonies. I think Natalie sings with better vocal control and phrasing here than on the original records. More subtle.
Great band!
She really does. Thanks for pointing it out!
I agree..natalie was at her best on this one...beautiful..❤
She may have been in a better place now
They are the best.
WHO DOES NOT LOVE THESE LADIES, they are ALL so absolutely, Talented and Beautiful...rock on DIXIE CHICKS...
Communists
the talent is uncomparable
Many country stations refused to play their music for many years. While I think celebrities should keep their politics to themselves, it sure is good to hear their music on the radio again. I really missed these talented ladies.they
Just love Martie's solo and the crowd's appreciation, and Emily's smile at 2.59, that only a Sister would do.

That fiddle playing rocks, and of course, the beautiful vocals.
I dare anyone to write a more beautiful sounding song than this
I just found this song last night after I had to put my dog down. It gave me some peace. Thank you so much.
Maggie, that is one of the best vocal performances of any song, any genre I’ve ever heard. Just wow!
In my opinion, will always be the greatest country group ever!
So I'm gonna be honest...I heard of this song for the first time about a week ago, and didn't listen to it for the first time until today.

I love Natalie. Such a powerful voice.
Freaking amazing live performance!!!! 👏🏽🔥👏🏽
What a bunch of insanely talented people on that stage. That moment at 4:10. Amazing
I guess I am the only one who's still listening this song till date... 😃
These girls are so talented! Vocals are always great, they play multiple instruments along with the full band and writing their own songs.. something your don't see a lot anymore. The instrumentals and vocals on this song are just awesome.
Have you heard Foxes and Fossils rendition of this song? They are magnificent.
I like to hear the Chicks sing
Anyone who gives this a thumbs down either has no soul or a huge ego. This is class all the way and that shiver from the violin.......perfect 🇦🇺
It's a pity I have never had the chance to see the chicks in the Netherlands. Once they were here, 2 concerts sold out wihtin one hour. Love to hear this fantastic songs.
What a beautiful voice she has to go along with the music!!
They are a hell of a trio
Best country girl band ever, shit, best country period
WE NEED THESE GIRLS ON TOUR... NOW!!!!!!
What a song... Perfect country... Wording, music arrangement, everything is amazing...Use of violin....Oh, just Speechless...How people hates them????
they need to come back... No one has come close to the way these ladies did country music... the vocals with the fiddle nothing will ever compare
These ladies are so talented.
I'm a hip hop head, these ladies are dope. Lyrics, music, the strings. I would love to hear them together again.
Beautiful music. Natalie's voice is so sweet! I love her voice.
Very sad to know that once again this world lost such a beautiful and talented young woman. RIP dear, gone just too soon. My condolences to the families, friends all over the world 🙏🏽🌹🌹🌷💐🌾🌺
Idc what anyone says people have the right to their opinion and regardless THE DIXIE CHCIKS ARE AMAZING AND A STAPLE TO MY CHILDHOOD
With these cowboys, I'm country for live.
what a beautiful song
Love the Chicks and their musik
Martie´s violin solo at the end of this songs gives me chills :) Still :) Even in 2016 :)
I was fortunate enough to have seen these gals live many years ago in Pittsburgh. One of my favorite concerts ever.
I, too saw them waaaay back in Pittsburgh at the George Strait Country Music Festival...they were my favorite act!
My sister loved this song. She passed on in 2012. When ever I hear this song. I think of her. I miss her it makes me cry. But, it also makes me happy because I know she is still with me.
Their voices are beautiful, This girls are awesome!!!!!!
Song is so beautiful, but her voice is also soooooo amazing!
Fine Fine Band / song / everything. Not to mention that pure steel guitar
I will love this song forever. Martie is my fiddlin idol.
I love the Dixie Chicks, amazing women and amazing musicians
Love their music - their politics not so much.
Agreed, they are awesome musicians regardless of whether you agree with their politics or not. I was heartbroken as a soldier to hear the statements they made. However never changed my opinion on the quality of there music.
There's a good reason I love the violin. Beautiful song, beautiful women.
That is a beautiful song for a girl and her cowboy. I want to cover that song.
I always want soulful country, even if it is on the edge of the sea. sadly we cannot always be loving but we can always be freinds. Is as God has blessed us.
Regardless; you Dixie family, it's amazing how you all are amazing. God bless you and peace be with you, 🐢💞🙏 from Australia.
The number one trio of all time!
Hey Benny😊😊😊😊
If they would comeback it would be a breath of fresh air for the world. We sure could use it
Amen

Lloyd has gotta be proud, that girl can sure 'nuff sing!!!
Beautiful song. . The fiddle playing is simply out of this world. I wish she would sing It sounds good to me, twice in all of the parts, It makes the transition from one part of the song to another more smooth.
Saw the Chicks yesterday in London supporting Bruce Springsteen, they were very good. The violinist was amazing!!
They're worth to have 10mil more views!
I understand why you left, but there are those of us that still stand behind you. I hope one day you find your way back.
The best of country hit songs... Love the fiddler, sounds so beautiful..... Vocals just matches every thing.........
that girl has the voice of an angel and what musicians!!
I miss my chicks!
