Here in Mexico City, 2024 post- pandemic. Remembering when I first heard these voices, first heard those lyrics of Neil Young…70s 80s90s… tears in my eyes for all the beauty that can just go by…
No ego, just pure talent in harmony. You could sense that the trio were both happy and proud to be singing together. The result is music that's heaven on earth.
Love each of these ladies for their talents each brings, but together it is angelic music for my soul. Love, love, love it! I am mesmerized by that glass harmonica!
I've attended two David Letterman shows in my lifetime , this was one of them. My hosts and I had no idea who the guests were that evening (until we got there); and then, this happened. I'm not a religious man, but I suspect this is the closest I'm ever going to get. Absolute perfection.
Well...religion doesn't take anyone to a Heavenly place anyways. If you truly enjoyed the experience, it's time to get in terms with JesusChrist. The place alone and the Angels Choir will blow your mind for the whole eternity. 😉
Linda has the extra ordinary ability to weave her voice in tight harmonies that few can match. She's there, you can distinctly hear her, but she's not dominating the melody. All three of their voices are tremendous instruments on their own.
Bella Bella- as to Linda’s voice, I don’t believe anyone else has heard any quite like her either. Listening years earlier to Andrew Gold & Kenny Edwards backing her up is as good as vocal arrangements can get, imo. She’s a treasure no doubt...plus she’s always had “It”
Few days before Christmas 2024, and just discovering this beautiful rendition. Heartfelt and sung perfectly. A stunning Trio, and yes, Linda has my heart ❤
On pourrait dire la même chose à propos de Diana Ankoudinova et ce n'est même pas nécessaire de connaitre le propos de la chanson, souvenez vous ... DIANA ANKUDINOVA ...
I love these three women. I have got to say though, on this performance, Dolly’s voice was outstanding and seemed to shine above EmmyLou’s and Linda’s. That Kentucky twang was perfect for this song.
It's real easy to forget a major talent like Janis Joplin she sang acapella no backup and her Mercedes-Benz song dominated the number one spot in the chart for months. I don't see this person singing it without a band behind her so she's got a talent but I got to put my money on Janis Joplin having the best because she stood alone and dominated first place for a long time everybody else got some band
@@omgDavidGlasper Janis Joplin held the Mercedes-Benz song in the number one spot for a few weeks with no music. I would call that the greatest accomplishment for a female vocalist in my life time.
Linda is great, but she lacks pure emotion. There is no greatest, just personal favs. i personally rate Judith Durham light years over any other female singer, and that includes the incomparable Dame Shirley Bassey. 😊
She has an incredible range. In some of the other clips of the three of them, she sings the low harmony. All three of them have simply amazing, iconic voices.
Linda once said that she loved singing like this as she didn't have to sing leads and could focus on harmonies. That 4 octave voice certainly soared in this. Parkinson's is a miserable disease.
The part that really hit me is the look of absolute joy and happiness on Linda's face as she looks over at the other two -- as if there is NO PLACE in the world that she would rather be than on that stage adding her voice to help create that magic!
Just listened to an old concert from the 70's on TH-cam when Linda described getting a breathless call from Emmylou to hurry and get herself over to her house; their favorite singer, Dolly Parton was there. She went on to say they sang together, sounded pretty good and hoped something would come of it. Something did!
24 years later, I'm wondering how I missed this! We see Dolly and Linda occasionally through the years, all three emitting true beauty, but not having seen Emmylou Harris since the 80s, she has entered her senior years as an incredibly beautiful woman. I had not idea she was still performing! I love how humble they are, not overpowering or upstaging, a wonderful blending of three iconic voices. Wow.
best trio of all time !! it's a crying shame that Linda Ronstadt can no longer amaze us with her incredible voice. love you always little bare foot girl !!
I remember seeing this live. I was holding a sleepless babe in my arms, rocking her. This performance brought me to tears. Husband bought the CD fo me the next day. Said daughter is all grown. Performance can still evoke tears
How beautiful. Thank you for sharing. This was glorious, heartbreaking. One of my favourite songs elevated by those goddesses. Letterman has always brought such gems as these to light.
There is no doubt, this is the best three female trio ever to grace this planet, never equaled, never mind overtaken. God bless Linda Ronstadt and return her voice to its correct place.
By 1999, when they appeared on Letterman, Linda's voice was starting to be affected by the palsy that eventually led to her retirement from public performances and ultimately prevented her from being able to sing at all. When she was at full power, NO ONE could sing like Linda.
I first heard 'After the Gold Rush' as I sat down in the chapel for my best friend's memorial service in October of 1971. Four days earlier we were climbing a 400 foot waterfall when the unthinkable happened. As I took my seat in the chapel I heard the line, "I was thinking about what a friend had said, I was hoping it was a lie." It later occurred to me that every person in the room had lived that line at some point that week. In the song, there is no explanation of what 'a friend had said'. Neil left that to our imagination, which is what makes it so provocative. My friend loved Neil's music and used to especially enjoy singing 'Sugar Mountain' for us. It was 2 months before his 20th birthday when he died, cause you 'can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain'. It almost goes without saying that no other song holds a place in my heart quite like this one.
I think of Linda now and then and feel so sad we won’t ever hear her sing again........Parkinsons is such a cruel illness it certainly robbed us of a pearl who really did sing songs for the lost and the lonely
But I saw her interviewed a while ago on the Tavis Smiley show. She talked about her disease. I don't even know if I could be as humble as she was, and I'd been through some pretty rough times. Linda is a class act and quite a lady. I was inspired by her wisdom ..
I think Linda Ronstadt is one of the classiest acts ever to come out of the States. Eloquent,charming,humble,kind,,generous warm compassionate,considerate and a voice ,a voice that has reduced me to tears on so many occasions.She really is a national treasure .
The funeral dirge are the bad thoughts, from the left, leading to self destruction. What would leave no trace in 5000 years? Perhaps an ideology that convinced the young that they are destroying the planet, causing them to walk away from civilization leaving only overgrown buildings?
I’ve watched a lot of videos of these three singing together,and almost all the comments mention the fact that Linda literally has to hold back when she sings, because her voice is so powerful. She was really one of the best ever.
@@neilmccormick2064 they made a couple of alterations, yeah. Can you really picture those ladies singing "and I felt like getting high"? It's a gorgeous rendering of a classic...gave me chills to hear it.
Played Trio 'til it fell apart, Trio 2 suffered the same fate. Absolute perfection. Best example of flawless harmony I've ever heard. Thank you, ladies.
These are three very talented women and they have harmony down to a science. But it is the most beautiful Linda Ronstadt whose vocals stand out to me. I miss her singing and pray for her to be well everyday.
Absolutely heavenly. Great harmony. Linda has always been my favoutite. Devistated when she no longer sang due to her medical issue. 😢 Great to be able to view how great she was. ❤
Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun. Not the best choice. It's very hot. I'm from Canada, and Neal Young was great, but I always found the lyrics to this song rather silly. The girls sounded excellent, though!
These three ladies together are the ultimate in musical mastery. The harmony makes hair stand, sends tingles down spines, gives goose bumps and fills my heart with wonder every time I hear this song. Linda’s, Emmy’s and Dolly’s harmony is out of this world. Only these three legends can sound so surreal and magical. This is a magical arrangement and the voices cannot be matched.
This song sends chills down my spine. So blessed to have seen Linda LIVE! A divine performance from all. Much love and healing from us to Linda, always
Also listening in 2022. And I commented there was no Autotune BEFORE I read all comments -- others said it first. Their voices together are pure Heaven.
Linda Ronstadt is arguably the most gifted vocalist of our time. Unlike many other wonderful singers, Linda can sing anything; opera, country, standards, folk, and she can rock. Not too many others can do that. What a cruel thing that she has a disease that has silenced her.
It took my many times listening to this masterpiece to realize the high harmony was Linda's! I guess I usually had my eyes closed, floating away, and didn't watch the video. There's a brief two part harmony at about 2:26 where it shows only Linda and Dolly singing. I don't think I ever appreciated that she had that kind of range. I suppose that's usually the domain of background singers, and she alway sang lead. What an instrument she had.
I've been listening since I was a a child in the 70's to Linda's gift. I'm a professional vocalist and I'm sooooo glad I lived in the same era and was able to see her live.
This is the purest form of what our old folks called genuine music! Zero autotunes, just rehearsing until your heart breaks, and when you sing, remember to transmit the feelings and emotions of the simple but incredibly genius compositions. And back then the awards for sales, etcétera were irrelevant! Not today! Sad!
Dolly has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard Allison Krauss is a close second I’m positive this is what angels singing sounds like God blessed us with these ladies we need to appreciate and thank them and god
I’m 68. After the Gold Rush is one of my favorite albums. I heard this version from their CD many years ago. It is the most stunning, beautiful piece of music I have heard. To hear it done live brought tears to my eyes. The most beautiful voices in perfect harmony.
i listen to linda rondstadt's voice and it brings tears to my eyes. such a glorious voice silenced by disease, i'm glad i had a chance to hear her at her best in my lifetime.
This song brought me to tears, in a good way. These three women did an awesome job with it. As a fan of all three, when I found this video, I automatically knew it would sound awesome. So glad I found it. The song is very powerful, and gets me in my heart. I love this, and I love all of these beautiful ladies.
The best year of my life. I was nine years old and with my mom in Larnaca Cyprys. Spring 1999 started war in my country Yugoslavia. Never new untill know this Masterpice was made the same time. I so much love this thrio, ecpecialy Linda. I wish all the best for herr. If she reads this I am sending her love.
This song is so brilliant that I have to listen to it daily. The voices are insane, but it’s the harmony that makes this version so beautiful. Neil Young wrote this song but these three ladies have lifted it to fab heights. Dolly’s voice is superb and Linda and Emmy bring such celestial harmony to make this version an angelic version that NY would be proud of. This version is a treasure.
All great Artists. But Dolly Parton really gets me , with not only her beauty , but her spirit , voice , personality, she's a renaissance woman to me. So smart and disciplined. One of a kind. And always humble and grateful to God.
As my eyes filled with tears and my throat lumped up, I sat and listened in awe to the gift of their angelic voices, as memories rushed through my mind.
These three ladies sing with such grace, emotion, and power, either solo or as the trio. Their voices are ethereal, leading us on a perfect harmonizing journey to what it must sound like in Heaven.
They harmonize like the female version of the Bee Gees, sounding like one voice at times, and at others you hear the differences in their voice on the same note at the same moment. No auto tune required or over dubbing. Just perfection.
These amazing women should preserved for all time. The ultimate in musical harmony. Neil Young never wrote the song to be sung this way but now, he must have wished he had! If only these wonderful ladies (and I) could survive another decade or two.
You mean by agreeing to the butchering of the lyrics because of some bogus sense of petty morality? I thought Jim Morrison killed that puritanical nonsense in the 60s .
Dolly singing solo, and then Linda's beautiful alto voice comes in. Oh, how l love her voice. One of the few singers I can actually listen to the whole album/CD. All three are wonderful in their own right. Even better together. Thankyou U-tube.
The nostalgia beauty of this performance is like a punch in the gut. We have three ladies I hold dear to my heart singing in wonderful harmony a Neil Young song from my youth. I think I sprung a leak out the corner of my eye.
Most sing what they think they can. Ronstadt sang what she wanted, with who she wanted, when she wanted and how she wanted. Glorious flexible lead singer and a harmonizer extrordinaire. Linda did all the vocal arrangements often encouraging the remarkable Dolly and Emmy Lou to shine on TRIO. She also produced an entire album with that odd instrument - Glass Armónica.
The song Paul's band is playing at the opening is Now That We Found Love by Heavy D and the Boys. Was wracking my brain for a few minutes trying to remember!
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm broken hearted that Linda can no longer sing. At the same time I'm So grateful that we have recordings like this. I'll never forget these voices.
This was a beautiful performance by three very talented women. The musicians backing them were fantastic and creative and added the finishing touches to what I consider to be a masterpiece.
What a masterpiece !!! Was not aware of this incredible version of one of my favorite songs.....blown away at the vocal talent on display , the interpretation, which keeps the original melody intact, and the musicianship of the accompanists. Beautifully constructed harmonies sung to perfection by the best in the business....perfection.
Linda Ronstadt long long time is a masterpiece❤
Everything Linda did was a masterpiece.
Headed there now...cry every time
Yup all great but 1977 December in Atlanta...Desperado the best. Just Linda, a piano and 10000 people listening in the dark. She was fearless!
Linda Ronstadt was my first ever concert as a teen. Her music has gotten me through a lot ❤
No lip-synching. No dancing. No light show. Just pure raw talent. And no egos.
No Auto-tune either.
Just perfection....
Oh, there were plenty of egos. Just not on display here.
You won't find this anymore on today's joke of what they now call evening talk shows.
Why Don you people feel the need to criticize?
Amazing. Three awesomely talented women whose music I grew up on. Wow.
If these three together don't give you chills, you have no pulse.
I cried
It’s a bit of magic, isn’t it
Ou são depressivos ( risos )
We might be dead if you like this
Agreed! Surreal and otherworldly , just simply unbelievable.
Listening in 2023 . It never gets old ❤

Linda is holding back her voice on this song. Just happy to harmonize beautifully. I’ve never heard a voice quite like Linda Ronstadt ever.
Bella Bella I know right?
Linda has the extra ordinary ability to weave her voice in tight harmonies that few can match. She's there, you can distinctly hear her, but she's not dominating the melody. All three of their voices are tremendous instruments on their own.
It’s so tragic that she lost her voice to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy.

Too beautiful for words. May 28, 2020.
Yes, thankfully...
Willie Nelson said there are two kinds of men. The ones who love Linda Ronstadt, and the ones who haven't seen her sing.
A bit of a paraphrase, he said that about Emmylou, the second 1/2 was those who haven't met her. It's applicable though.
I had mad crush on her at 15

I love these three women. I have got to say though, on this performance, Dolly’s voice was outstanding and seemed to shine above EmmyLou’s and Linda’s. That Kentucky twang was perfect for this song.
Dolly really delivered the lead vocal, and Linda and Emmy Lou on supporting vocals were great
Tennessee twang, tyvm ❤
This is talent! No overdone loud noise. Just beautiful pure harmony. Gosh this is good!
Thank you so much, they are wonderful!

Linda is great, but she lacks pure emotion. There is no greatest, just personal favs. i personally rate Judith Durham light years over any other female singer, and that includes the incomparable Dame Shirley Bassey. 😊
They are so known for their harmonies. They sound like what angels in heaven must sound like.
Those Linda Ronstadt high harmonies are stunning.
She could sing anything in any genre! A once in a lifetime talent.
Check out her stuff with Philip Glass.

If you can find it.. her album “Hand Seen, Home Grown” is awesome early Ronstadt

I keep coming back to this song, and it never fails to make me cry like a baby. It feels like the funeral dirge for the planet Earth.
I think that it is exactly that. Neil Young is a kind of prophet.
It may be
Yes💧
The funeral dirge are the bad thoughts, from the left, leading to self destruction.

Wow I'm still listing in 2021. What a beautiful song by three beautiful ladies. No frills, just raw talent. Thank you so much for posting this!
Also listening in 2022. And I commented there was no Autotune BEFORE I read all comments -- others said it first. Their voices together are pure Heaven.
Linda Ronstadt is arguably the most gifted vocalist of our time. Unlike many other wonderful singers, Linda can sing anything; opera, country, standards, folk, and she can rock. Not too many others can do that. What a cruel thing that she has a disease that has silenced her.
The disease may have silenced her, but her voice will live forever on vinyl, CD and now digital, nothing can remove it
so well put nikki.xx
I agree absolutely. What a talent, and what a woman.
You forgot Spanish!

Love the sound of the glass harmonica with the voices of the three ladies !
Being 62, there was a time when I was in love with each of these beautiful artists and their voices. Still am. Thanks
Hey, hey, 63. I was first. 🤭
Got you guys beat by a bunch. Just started a new decade 80.
The angels in Heaven will sound like These Ladies. In our darkest hour hour God sends a light.
Amen
Agree!
There are no gods or angels. There is talent.
Fuck NATO that night they started to bomb us
On a tv show?
This is as close as any human can get to hearing angels sing...just damn!
Not seen this before. What a delight, angelic. Thank you
Hi Pauline hope you're okay?
How could anyone dislike this performance? This was beautiful.

@@WadeKingston well said!
There are a lot of kids online that just go around giving thumbs down to anything that isn't auto tune and twerking.
It took my many times listening to this masterpiece to realize the high harmony was Linda's! I guess I usually had my eyes closed, floating away, and didn't watch the video. There's a brief two part harmony at about 2:26 where it shows only Linda and Dolly singing. I don't think I ever appreciated that she had that kind of range. I suppose that's usually the domain of background singers, and she alway sang lead. What an instrument she had.
I was really surprised by that, because in some of the other clips of the three of them, she sings the low harmony. Linda has an incredible range!
I've been listening since I was a a child in the 70's to Linda's gift. I'm a professional vocalist and I'm sooooo glad I lived in the same era and was able to see her live.
Listening today in July 2024 and still healed by such talented legends.... listening to Linda Ronstadt - soul extremely touched.
No lasers - no strobe lites - no smoke machines - no twerking - just plain raw talent. Beautiful!
Fred Dalkeith yes
Dolly, picking a guitar with those nails, not to mention her voice. And Linda and Emmylou, what more needs be said! Legend!
Such a boring generic comment
@@popland1977 I guess you didn't like women either
😥😪🗽.... gotcha no sense of humor I swear, hey but that has two women dudes you would be nothing not even here believe it or not.
This is the purest form of what our old folks called genuine music! Zero autotunes, just rehearsing until your heart breaks, and when you sing, remember to transmit the feelings and emotions of the simple but incredibly genius compositions. And back then the awards for sales, etcétera were irrelevant! Not today! Sad!
Yes, it's beautiful.
this amazing trio... Linda with prefect pitch. Emmylou with her amazing talent for Harmony. What can you say about Dolly... heaven given talent.
Emmylou has been so under rated for years she always has been a phenomenal singer!
Dolly has the most beautiful voice I’ve ever heard Allison Krauss is a close second I’m positive this is what angels singing sounds like God blessed us with these ladies we need to appreciate and thank them and god
I’m 68. After the Gold Rush is one of my favorite albums. I heard this version from their CD many years ago. It is the most stunning, beautiful piece of music I have heard. To hear it done live brought tears to my eyes. The most beautiful voices in perfect harmony.
Hard to believe that Linda Ronstadt is 75 years old, time flies but her music lives on.
I’m grateful to have lived in an era of singers if this quality and character
Yes indeed . Did not realise how luckly we were at the time .Took such quality for granted.
Linda Ronstadt married a terrorist
i listen to linda rondstadt's voice and it brings tears to my eyes. such a glorious voice silenced by disease, i'm glad i had a chance to hear her at her best in my lifetime.
Just speechless..............these women and their voices are just incredible...WOW, just WOW
This song brought me to tears, in a good way. These three women did an awesome job with it. As a fan of all three, when I found this video, I automatically knew it would sound awesome. So glad I found it.
The song is very powerful, and gets me in my heart. I love this, and I love all of these beautiful ladies.
Such a fantastic song by Neil Young, done oh so well and lovingly by this Dream Team! It's so perfect it all seems like a dream to me.
They blend so well, yet i could hear each one too...so amazing to take a trip with them🦋
The best year of my life. I was nine years old and with my mom in Larnaca Cyprys. Spring 1999 started war in my country Yugoslavia. Never new untill know this Masterpice was made the same time. I so much love this thrio, ecpecialy Linda. I wish all the best for herr. If she reads this I am sending her love.
This song is so brilliant that I have to listen to it daily. The voices are insane, but it’s the harmony that makes this version so beautiful. Neil Young wrote this song but these three ladies have lifted it to fab heights. Dolly’s voice is superb and Linda and Emmy bring such celestial harmony to make this version an angelic version that NY would be proud of. This version is a treasure.
All great Artists. But Dolly Parton really gets me , with not only her beauty , but her spirit , voice , personality, she's a renaissance woman to me. So smart and disciplined. One of a kind. And always humble and grateful to God.
I must agree and a prolific song writer.
She's beautiful.
And her tits. 😆
@@jbetnar Dolly says: "It takes a lot of money to look this cheap." Love Dolly.
Not a fan. She did put out a lot of music, but it’s pretty cheap
Wow. No Autotune just real talent, beauty and artistry. Thank you so much ladies.
As my eyes filled with tears and my throat lumped up, I sat and listened in awe to the gift of their angelic voices, as memories rushed through my mind.
Those days...
These three ladies sing with such grace, emotion, and power, either solo or as the trio. Their voices are ethereal, leading us on a perfect harmonizing journey to what it must sound like in Heaven.
Hello Pam, how are you doing?
Hi Pam hope you're okay?
They harmonize like the female version of the Bee Gees, sounding like one voice at times, and at others you hear the differences in their voice on the same note at the same moment. No auto tune required or over dubbing. Just perfection.
These amazing women should preserved for all time. The ultimate in musical harmony. Neil Young never wrote the song to be sung this way but now, he must have wished he had! If only these wonderful ladies (and I) could survive another decade or two.
Ronstadt's voice on "Telling Me Lies" from the 1st TRIO is killer. This is pretty damn beautiful as well. Linda and Neil Young were very good friends.
One of Neil Young's most incredible songs, sung the way it deserves to be...
didnt realize it was one of neil's songs
Linda sang harmony on Neil's "Heart of Gold" song, too.
You mean by agreeing to the butchering of the lyrics because of some bogus sense of petty morality? I thought Jim Morrison killed that puritanical nonsense in the 60s .
@@creggsteffler9001 yep she sure did
@@teresalinton5898 he is a prolific songwriter.
I can't believe how time has flown by... so fast... I want to do it all over again! Best life time EVER!
Hello Mary
How are you doing today?
Gives me chills. So thankful that this treasure has been preserved.
Emmylou Harris is the best harmonizer of all time. I have heard her harmonize with so many different singers and she is always perfection.
Love her❤
Totally agree ❤
2024 Living in New Zealand 🇳🇿 3 icons with stunning voices. They each compliment one another. Thank you for letting me view your profiles ❤...😊
I'm so glad these women got together. Their music is amazing.
What a treat hear these three great talented ladies singing in great harmony to an instrument I have never seeing before. Thank you for the posting.
So happy to see Linda Ronstadt too.. amazing voice… all three are so gifted
So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song. Hello
Dolly singing solo, and then Linda's beautiful alto voice comes in. Oh, how l love her voice. One of the few singers I can actually listen to the whole album/CD. All three are wonderful in their own right. Even better together. Thankyou U-tube.
Almost 22 years later...wow this is so moving🥰
The nostalgia beauty of this performance is like a punch in the gut. We have three ladies I hold dear to my heart singing in wonderful harmony a Neil Young song from my youth. I think I sprung a leak out the corner of my eye.
Most sing what they think they can. Ronstadt sang what she wanted, with who she wanted, when she wanted and how she wanted. Glorious flexible lead singer and a harmonizer extrordinaire. Linda did all the vocal arrangements often encouraging the remarkable Dolly and Emmy Lou to shine on TRIO. She also produced an entire album with that odd instrument - Glass Armónica.
Three absolute legends, .massive talents and tightest harmonies. Wonderful
The song Paul's band is playing at the opening is Now That We Found Love by Heavy D and the Boys. Was wracking my brain for a few minutes trying to remember!
Absolutely gorgeous! I'm broken hearted that Linda can no longer sing. At the same time I'm So grateful that we have recordings like this. I'll never forget these voices.
hermosas voces!!!!
so sorry linda cant sing anymore i didnt know but i still have a crush on her
Mr warmth. Tell your buddy. It went to my phone line. If you don't know what you are doing don't do it
Rondstadt was a beauty in her physical prime. This is why aging is total bs!
@@kevinbeck6785Parkinson's. Such a sad, sad story.
This was a beautiful performance by three very talented women. The musicians backing them were fantastic and creative and added the finishing touches to what I consider to be a masterpiece.
I am thankful, so thankful, that these three collaborated and made some cds while Linda Ronstandt still could sing.
Hi Sherry hope you're okay?
What a masterpiece !!! Was not aware of this incredible version of one of my favorite songs.....blown away at the vocal talent on display , the interpretation, which keeps the original melody intact, and the musicianship of the accompanists. Beautifully constructed harmonies sung to perfection by the best in the business....perfection.
À
WHO... could NOT LOVE DOLLY???.ARE WE EVEN DESERVING OF HER LOVE & TALRNT.??I LOVE her voice, and her beautiful soul!!!
Don’t forget what a great song Neil Young wrote. I bet he was flattered.
This is so beautiful it brought tears of elation to my eyes.
Every now and then amongst all of the crap on TH-cam a gem like this comes along.
This turned up in my recommendations again, after a year. It's still brilliant.
