I'm crying as I listen to this, I can feel the emotions of her heart, such a beautiful soul, one of a kind indeed, and I'm so honored that she has been the first and only musical idol I have ever gravitated toward. My first antique shop was named after one of her songs, The wing and the wheel. And I have been a fan the moment I first heard her voice, and the stories of real-life in her songs, Rest In Peace Nancy, if there's a heaven, I hope to meet you someday.
Everytime I listen to this I take a pause, and just smile, cause Kathy can sing anyone's story properly, and do it well. RIP Miss Nancy. Just know Country Music misses you
Love them both. This was a cool arrangement and the strings were great etc. Personally I prefer this song - which is a stunner - when it’s all stripped back and just Nanci and an acoustic guitar. It just makes the yearning, the poignancy, the intensity of the memories, all the more vulnerable and exposed. Also always think of her performing this on one of her ACL performances when she explained that she plucks that one high note throughout because it sounds like the elevator at the drugstore when its door would open or close. This particular performance she was playing this one and it was SO stripped and vulnerable that it was impossible not to weep. And at the very end, Nanci plucked that string and it hung in the air and she whispered, ‘Going Up’. ☮️💜
Alastair, you were so fortunate to be there and experience this live. Congratulations! Could you shed a little light on things.What was the occasion? Can you name any of the other performers. I believe I saw Jerry Douglas, but couldn't identify any of the others. Thanks!
@@macklee49 the house band was Donald shaw piano Phil Cunningham accordian John macusker fiddle Mick McGoldrick whistle Ally bain Fiddle Jerry Douglas lap steel And lots of other great musicians Kathy sang May You Never as a tribute to John Martin who had sadly passed days befor the gig Sure it is on TH-cam Thanks
Nanci Griffith is so lovely and so missed. I've been listening to Nanci since 1988. And, Kathy Matea is a grand voice to take that song where it should have already been!
We saw Kathy live at Conn College and I remembered some of this song and Google it. Immediately Nanci popped up and that started hours and days of utubes of Nanci. I had never heard of her and it changed my life. Take nothing away from Kathy, though, she does a beautiful rendition of this song -- actually any song she does. The song is a beautiful story, bound to get anyone emotional.
Seems so eerie that the lyric Nancy wrote when she was young "Eddie traveled with the bar room bands, till arthritis took his hands," echoes so closely to what Nancy was going through the later part of her career.
Think this was probably at Celtic Connections, the Glasgow winter music festival, it being a mix of Scottish, Irish and Americana musiciansin the video. Makes January wonderful and provides employment in those cold winter months to musicians! If anyone has seen the Transatlantic sessions videos this appears to have the same core group of musicians!
Thanks to the person that gave me the link to this song with Kathy and Nanci.....It is just beautiful . Thanks so much!!! This is one of my fav songs .
... I kinda wonder how difficult it was for Nanci to let Kathy sing "Love at the Five & Dime," a song she birthed, and watch Kathy take it to heights Nanci never saw ..I'm sure it was bitter-sweet for Nan ... Bart
If you watch, Kathy can't sing hardly a line with out looking over at Nanci with pure love and thanks. I don't know wht this event was, but this piece was a valentine to Nanci Griffith
I think covers almost always lead fans to discover the original artist or songwriter. So Kathy’s version may have been the radio hit, but it served Nanci too in royalties as well as exposure.
The first time I heard Nanci sing this I kept hearing this other version in my head but never could determine where that came from, For awhile I thought it was Jerry Jeff Walker that had recorded it cause he had always been good at recording other ppl's stuff
I do NOT like the chord revisions Kathy made in her version. Perhaps I am just too set in my ways but Nanci’s version has more melancholy which, I feel, suits the story better.

R.I.P. Nanci..a delicate precious flower with the voice of an angel..x
Such a great song.
Nancy is incredible ❤
I'm wondering when I'm going to stop wanting to cry listening to her voice and her music. We lost a great person, voice and artist in Nanci.

You're not alone........
I hear you. I've been on a Nanci listening binge since I heard the news. It's so sad. She was a gem. Hit so many of us hard.
I still love you Nanci Caroline Griffith😥💔❤🩹

Love ya, Nanci. Such a beautiful soul.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻 I will always love you Nanci Caroline Griffith ❤️😢😢😢
This is true love right here....I love both Kathy and Nanci...both beautiful souls🦋
Such an artist - she could compress a novel into a song. I’m sure she is writing for the angels now.
I was there highliite of the gig xx

@@alastairclunie7232 Celtic Connections, then?
Reading about all the musicians this was a „Transatlantic Sessions“ special
Nice to have known you and your music Nanci. RIP my friend.
this is great . Nancy was so beautiful. The voices were just perfect.
I love the live version of a very young Nancy telling the story of how this song came to be from her own life experience, and then sang the song.
sitting not far from that spot on congress and 15th in Austin, tx right now!
beautiful...miss Nanci's concerts RIP
Beautiful version. Very emotional and wonderful.
Great song, great singers, great performance.... where are all the our good flowers gone? Where are such artists now?

HOW can you not love this. Love them both. Great artists!!!!

she knew life and how to sing/write that for songs. Epic.
The smile love you miss Nancy
This is wonderful. I didn't know they performed this live together.
Thank-You, NG Rarities, for your wonderful and sensitive postings. It helps with Nanci's departure,; Angel that she was on Earth and now in Heaven.
So special to see Nanci in 2009. Love.

I love Nanci she was a so great story telling about love and all things beautiful my heart still cry’s for her but I know I will see her in Heaven ‼️
Thank you so much for uploading! Nanci was such a wonderful person.
Thank you for posting....✨🌹✨🌹✨...🎉 ...✨...🎉...✨..💯
Thanks to the person that gave me the link to this song with Kathy and Nanci.....It is just beautiful . Thanks so much!!! This is one of my fav songs .
About women's voices, Robert Frost said, "Never again would birdsong be the same." Here are two fine singers!!
I miss her so much!! this is gold :)
solid gold

@@denatrask2120 The lyrics in this song are just so, so beautiful. I would be going gaga over her too.
I think covers almost always lead fans to discover the original artist or songwriter. So Kathy’s version may have been the radio hit, but it served Nanci too in royalties as well as exposure.
On the contrary, Nanci loved sharing the stage and I am sure she loved that Kathy had a hit with it!
Perfection
The first time I heard Nanci sing this I kept hearing this other version in my head but never could determine where that came from, For awhile I thought it was Jerry Jeff Walker that had recorded it cause he had always been good at recording other ppl's stuff
Still her her.
56 then. Don’t you just love Nanci?
Wow, and John Doyle in the back on bouzouki. How good is this?
How did I not know?
Mattea, to me, sounds much like Anne Murray. Nanci was struggling to sing harmony here, IMHO, but still wonderful to hear both together.
Nanci sounded so much like Emmylou Harris here.
@@SPECTREStudioN7
Yes...there are other recordings of hers where that is also true (to my ear at least)
You should check out John Prines version
❤🤍💙Smile
Jerry Douglas!
I hate these covers that forget that the picking of the guitar is the most important part of the song.
makes me a bit sad.......nancy does not look well. it reminds me of my life friend ruth(rip), trying so hard but passed anyway. thanks nancy.
I do NOT like the chord revisions Kathy made in her version. Perhaps I am just too set in my ways but Nanci’s version has more melancholy which, I feel, suits the story better.
I LOVE the slide guitar in Nanci’s version. Also, Kathy’s version got rid of the elevator ding. That’s just criminal in my book!
at 0:17 min. what happen to Kathy Mattea neck
Just doesn't sound right, with Kathy singing it. Guess I've been listening to Nancy's version for far to many year's.
Shew one of my favorites but that didn’t sound goid
