Live is how you can really tell talent. Nowhere to hide. Nothing electronic to fix your voice, your instrument, your timing. The best always show it best live, when others cannot.
I believe the reason why they don't take their eyes off each other is to synchronize the beginning and endings of their words and sustained notes. Very important!
@@oldermusiclover so was my mother.She saw them when they came here to NZ in 1964. She would go and see the Everly brothers,but wouldn't go to see the Beatles:))
toodlescae I had not heard the Everly Brothers for some time and I happened on this Reunion Special, they did a wonderful job singing in harmony. Then I scrolled down to read some of the comments and read your comment that they are both gone now. Felt sad and blue over the news but reminds us all how short life is and how precious memories are. You Tube has made available much of this musical Gold of the past, thankful for that.
These legends were vocal and duet singing grandfathers of all we hear today,well maybe not today. But beatles and beach boys were definitely affected by masterpieces like these.😊
Amen. I laugh listening to 'Poor Jennie', Dance to 'Cathy's Clown' and cry with 'So Sad(to see good love go bad) and think of my husband with 'Let it be Me'
My husband passed away 10 years ago and the night before he passed we went to Karaoke and he never sang before. He put me in a chair in front of him and he across from me. He sang "Let it be Me" and I will by the Beatles..........I cry every time I hear these 2 songs..thank you from my heart for posting this
What a lovely story Joanne, Your husband obviously had great musical taste. There is nothing wrong with shedding a tear when you hear these songs. Emotion, is a big part of loving music. RIP for your husband.
I was born in Dec 1956. Wake up Lil Susie was out when my mother was Pregnant with me. My Uncle called me Lil Susie all my life until he passed. There is no one like the Everly Brothers...
This was like the first time they had sung together in 10 years, they got angry at each other after a show in the 70s and didn't speak to each other for like 10 years. So, them looking at each other was probably them saying I'm sorry brother, it was petty, I love you.
The other reason for the concentration was apparently this song was not on the original set list so was unrehearsed. Incredible performance if that is the case.
@@damonhines8187 Yes. they were indeed probably looking at each other to keep the timing, (as some have said) no doubt, but what they were thinking in their insides is what I stated. I believe anyway.
I agree. You can tell how they look at each other how sorry they were for not speaking to each other for so long. FYI, it was 1973 to be exact at Knott's Berry Farm.
We will never hear harmony like this ever again,absolutely SUPERB.rest easy DON AND PHIL,reunited forever, thank you for these wonderful memories, and for allowing us to share your unforgettable magical performances,never ever forgotten.
Both brothers had beautiful voices, no other duo had a more perfect blend. All their songs had wonderful harmonies, they watched each others faces closely so as to be spot on with their timing. Their harmonizing is iconic.
They were such an amazing talent! They were from a musical family coming from a folk tradition. The best harmonies come from these traditions. Thank you Don and Phil for many years of beautiful music!
These guys sang together for so long, and so well, that they read each other's minds, anticipate every eighth beat, and understand just when it's time to lift off a note, and progress on to the next. The words and music make you cry. The artistry makes you weep. Thanks, H, for binging us this!
When I saw them looking at each other towards the end, it made me think how wonderful it would have been if my brother treated me the same for the last 20 years of his life. All I can say is "I forgive you brother," maybe God realized that I was at a breaking point. I am the last member of my family alive. Reminded me of the meaning of "Cherish," by The Association~Thanks Harri :)
When siblings sing together it’s like one voice. Their vocal cords are similar. Just like The BeeGees. They’re so in sync you can see them watching each other carefully while they sing.
Can you imagine in the late 50's and early 60's these guys were singing like this? Don't know if it can get much better than that with harmonies. Who was better? Simon and Garfunkel came close but I think the Everly Brothers harmonized better.
A huge influence on the Beatles. Paul McCartney mentions the Everly Brothers in his Wings song, "Let 'Em In": "Sister Suzie, brother John, Martin Luther, Phil and Don." The Everly Brothers had a song called "Keep A Knockin,'" about NOT letting someone in...surely "Let Em In" was inspired by that song.
And Paul McCartney wrote them a beautiful new song for their comeback album called On The Wings Of A Nightingale which is really great. Dave Edmunds produced their 2 albums at that time. Fantastic!
this entire concert is amazing. Every song they do in that concert is superb and better than the studio versions. The whole band that night is hot and tight too
I always thought that song was about their lover, but love of those two brothers was more beautiful. Don and Phil were brilliant and their harmonies were exquisite. Miss then both. Thank your for this post. Peace
They had made up by the time of this performance. Probably the most beautiful and moving live performance I have ever seen. I watch this particular video at least weekly. Thank you for reacting to this amazing performance.
One of my very favorites by them. The Everlys music was a part of my childhood and I have followed them all my life. They will be sorely missed! I am teared up as I type this...Diamonds in my ears, indeed! Whatever else was going on with their relationship, you can see the love on their faces as they sing.
Harri, youreallyare one of the best reviewers out there and your hippie wardrobe is great! Keep on trucking! I listened to these guys the first time around when I was about 9.
PERFECTION EVERY song they sang is worth listening to. They r so in tune w/each other, come in at the same time, end in the same note and their harmonizing can’t get much better than this.
These two-brothers had nothing but love for each other, their emotions come out in their singing. Their love songs can't be duplicated, they just have a special way of harmonizing. There will never be a duo that even comes close to these two brothers
Part of my childhood! There is something special about harmonies from families singing together especially siblings. This especially poignant given they fell out with each other for so long.
They are both beautiful people with beautiful voices, it's sad to think they had a falling out and didn't talk to each other for 10 years, and yes they are full blooded brother, from the beautiful state of Kentucky, so many greats came from there
Without a doubt, this live version is more sensitive, more expressive, and more musically interesting than the original studio version. The brothers had grown as artists and had found more to say in the song...a very beautiful performance for sure.
Thank you for loving this beautiful song, it's been my favourite since the 50s. I have seen them twice in the UK and believe me they are genuine. Don and Phil God Bless you both
It's fascinating the way members of a family sound like each other whether talking or singing...some vocal quality they share that is unmistakably identifiable. When my brother answers the phone, I hear our dad's voice. Dad's been gone 19 years now and I still hear it. The Everly Brothers were the best singing example of that I've ever heard.
This beautiful song was 'our song', my wonderful beloved late husband and mine. I haven't heard it for such a long time, brought tears to my eyes tonight Thank you for reacting to these wonderful brothers, their harmonies were truly Angelic.❣️
90 - 95% of studio songs are better than live, but when the live version is better - oh my God
They started singing in church and hometown venues in the 50's. I've been listening to this since the first time I heard them in the fifties. Tears.
Live is how you can really tell talent. Nowhere to hide. Nothing electronic to fix your voice, your instrument, your timing. The best always show it best live, when others cannot.
@@kurtzwar729 Totaly Agree!
I don't know if this was their reunion concert that took place in London or not. I read that Tom Petty traveled from LA to see that concert.
@@unvettx790 totally worth it
the best song in the world i sing this to my love one xxxxxxx
I believe the reason why they don't take their eyes off each other is to synchronize the beginning and endings of their words and sustained notes. Very important!
What I saw was they were singing to each other. Their looks showed their love for one another.
I agree, Susan. They were absolute professionals.
Perfect Timing
Part of it was, I think, heard thru the grapevine, that they had HAD a type of feud at one time.
@zimjun7. It was their first concert after a 10 year split.
This is the greatest love song of all time.
So true
Their daddy, driven to let his sons have a better, successful life, taught them music and the Lord did the rest.
RIP Don and Phil - for a teenage adoring fan, Thank you for the musical magic
Harri, you make the world a better place! Bravo!
I grew up listening to them, and I'm still gobsmacked every time I hear them again. They sang like birds, or angels.
Me too
Music was so different in those days. True talent was valued.
This was the influence for the Beatles' harmonies. John and Paul would even joke around in the studio and call each other Phil and Don.
And Paul McCartney mentions them in his song during the Wings period, "LET 'EM IN"
Simon and Garf also were big fans of the Brothers
@@oldermusiclover so was my mother.She saw them when they came here to NZ in 1964.
She would go and see the Everly brothers,but wouldn't go to see the Beatles:))
@@patticrichton1135 Yes they do!!
John Lennon played rhythm guitar because that was what Don Everly played.
RIP Don Everly whom we lost this weekend. Another great talent lost. Now both brothers are together again in Heaven.
Rock and Roll Heaven ..
Teaching the angels how it's done .

They were the inspiration for Simon and Garfunkel harmony. At 11 years old Simon & Garfunkel would practice to their songs. They loved these guys.

RIP.....💜💜💜💜 Can't even get through the song without crying.
Wow. I really have taken their voices for granted all of my life. They really are SPECTACULAR.
I have always wondered what Phil said to Don after pulling him close at the end of that beautiful song
The Everly Brothers were huge in the late 50s. Such beautiful harmonies. This was better than the studio version. No doubt. I loved your reaction.
I can’t even describe how much I love this song.
Thanks. I so enjoy the Everly Brothers.
elegant pure talent.
Simplicity wins.
One of their more beautiful songs! R.I.P. Don Everly!
Such a beautiful song. It's so sad there will never be music like this again.
They were such an amazing talent! They were from a musical family coming from a folk tradition. The best harmonies come from these traditions. Thank you Don and Phil for many years of beautiful music!
One of my favorite Everly Brothers songs. Their harmonies were beautiful.
My mother called it "blood harmony " when family members sang together.
Linda Ronstadt said the same thing."Blood harmony'
makes sense to me
This to me is the definitive version of this song. It gives me chills every single time I see them play it. Thank you for choosing this.
These guys sang together for so long, and so well, that they read each other's minds, anticipate every eighth beat, and understand just when it's time to lift off a note, and progress on to the next. The words and music make you cry. The artistry makes you weep. Thanks, H, for binging us this!
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be.

This song , Devoted To You, All I have To Do Is Dream and Cathys Clown are three of my favorites..RIP Phil and Don.
I loved walk right back also.
Wow after so many years they still sounded so amazing!!!
incomparable. miss them
Beautiful harmonies. Brothers reunited.
R.I.P.
Almost all of the early pioneers of Rock and Roll are gone. Respect. RIP Don Everly.
Without you, none of this would be possible. Thank you.
They were amazing, just amazing !
Beautiful watching a man able to express his true emotions from a song. Bless you Harri
2 Years later..........I'm in tears. This brings back so many precious memories
You are absolutely right. The song is so meaningful and making me cry lots of time..thanks..
Perhaps the most heart-wrenching plea in all of music. Indescribably moving, touching. 👏👏👏😘🎶🔥💞
Beautiful song Let It Be Me sung by the Everly Brothers I love this song .Phil and Don Rest In Peace..
A master class in harmonic blending.
When siblings sing together it’s like one voice. Their vocal cords are similar.
Just like The BeeGees. They’re so in sync you can see them watching each other carefully while they sing.
They always had those perfect vocal harmonies you could count on. The Everlys had a big influence on the Beatles' vocal harmonies.

better than that with harmonies. Who was better? Simon and Garfunkel came close but I think the Everly Brothers harmonized better.
They are simply sublime. We'll never see their like again. Heavenly harmonies that no other duo ever has or ever will surpass.
My favorite Everly Brothers song; so beautiful.
This Song!!!!!! It's in my top 5 songs of all time. Its so beautiful, so sweet, and so incredibly performed by these guys.
I agree it is beautiful...
pure love and soul
They were perfection.
Stunning just stunning,such a sad sad loss,their voices where pure silk
This is the music of my early teen years, we knew even back then that we were being blessed with music that could never be bettered.
So happy I got to see them many times. Never a bad show.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
Beautiful relationship. Thank you.

Perfect harmony. Don sang the solo sections.
There are many of us feeling the same as you, right now. Hard to keep back the tears, especially for those of us who grew up with them.
two hearts and voices as one
Absolutely uncanny harmony. RIP Don🕊
Yes, I agree, Beautiful 🎶🫂🎶
Probably my #1 fav love song. And a beautiful, effortless performance.
Perfection is so rare in life. This live performance is the best thing I've ever seen or heard. Angels might envy the sound. What a gift to the world.
this entire concert is amazing. Every song they do in that concert is superb and better than the studio versions. The whole band that night is hot and tight too
When a song can bring you to your knees. Wow.
From the soundtrack of my life. I'm glad I was young when they were.
I always thought that song was about their lover, but love of those two brothers was more beautiful. Don and Phil were brilliant and their harmonies were exquisite. Miss then both. Thank your for this post. Peace
Such a beautiful song...

Aah, music from before Rock was Illuminized and began its descent! Beautiful.
Thanks Harri...RIP Everlys..💔🙏💖
All of the great music that will ever be written has already been written.
Roy Orbison live is the same sorry was..I was so lucky to see him live ..mesmerising only 10metres from the stage. Shall never forget.
