Amy and Emily are simply the best. I was lucky enough to conduct a concert with them in Portland with the Oregon Symphony. I’ll never forget that show!
What a treat that must have been! Hi from a fellow PNW jackal 🐾🥰 P.S. I was lucky enough to meet Sarah Ioannides a year ago and am still starstruck. Conductors are rock stars to me!
I’m 66, and I loved their music in their early days. Especially Prince of Darkness, History of Us, Love’s Recovery, and of course Closer to Fine. I now have an 18 year old guitar student and I sent her those four songs and now she’s “obsessed” with them! So that’s two generations down. ❤
Trina!!! I saw you open for IG many years ago here in Minnesota. I saw you in Minneapolis, and then Mankato the next night. I made and gave you a knit scarf at the Mankato show. Do you remember?! You all are amazing and were so kind to me. Hope you’ve been well. ❤️❤️❤️
Saw them at the Newport Folk Festival in 1990 and became an instant fan. A friend who was with me was just shaking his head after their set. "They're an acoustic version of The Who!"
Saw them in '88 at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill, NC - which was then a tiny venue, maybe 100 could fit. Amazing performance - Amy played so hard she broke a string. Clearly not for the first time, as she calmly finished the song and replaced it.
OMG. We must meet. You are my people. I am a front row, traveling Who fan (fell in love with them in 1982, been on tour since 1989, including seeing Roger on Monday in San Diego). I am also a front row, traveling Indigo fan since 1989. Your friends quote absolutely made my night!
I was getting into their music in 1992. I bought tickets and my friend got us a ride to Newport folk festival. It was the year they did the 4 voices with Chapin and Joan.
@@mtiedemann11 Saw them in a theater just a few years ago and they had their guitar tech (Amy's partner, I think) and her work table right on stage with them. Fun to watch how she was repairing and tuning as they played!
Fan since 1988, saw them with R.E.M. and about 15 times, Lilith Fair, so many great concerts. Genuine people and always ahead of the curve on issues and support.
I love the Indigo Girls. Once after a concert i briefly talked to them (well, fangirling but not in a creepy way) and Emily shook my hand. been a while ago but some things you'll never forget.
These ladies need more recognition! They are iconic singer-songwriters and LGBTQ+ icons. Seth is also my favorite late night host, so thank you for bringing these amazing musicians to your show! Everyone needs to know their ENTIRE discography beyond just Closer To Fine and Galileo (but in truth, Galileo is just the best!)
Galileo and that whole album was on heavy rotation in our home, back in the day. I just loved that song. Closer To Fine was also an extremely meaningful song for my friend group a bit later. These are amazing songwriters and performers and fabulous queer icons. Thanks for having them on!
I have so many great memories around going to their concerts. Seen them 4 or 5 times live & met them twice. 1st time I saw them they opened for an Irish band called Hothouse Flowers in the late '80s who I was there to see. Hadn't heard of The Indigo Girls at all. They weren't even on the bill except as 'guests' lol. They walked onto the stage w/just their acoustic guitars. I was a bit skeptical but then they started playing & singing & it was like there was a full band there w/them. They were phenomenal & I was won over. I went to Tower records the next day & asked if they had their album but they did not. This was about 6 months before their major label debut came out, so I had to wait. Their 1st album wasn't widely available till several years after their major label proved to be a huge success.
It’s impossible to pick my fave IG song, but “Ghost” probably has the most stunning lyrical turns packed into it. One after another for five solid minutes. Just gorgeous.
Love them so much. Wish I got that streaming service. I bet that doc is AMAZING!!! I hope they post their performance on the show tonight!!! I missed it
I was lucky enough to go to the same high school. I was in Amy’s grade and Emily was a year older. Amy is and was very nice. Great photographer. I still have the photo she took of Steve Perry. My friends and I saw Amy play at the Hilton in Tucker and with REM and at the high school, which is now a middle school. I used to see both of them in Mr. Lloyd’s classroom all the time in deep conversation. By the way we shouldn’t have been in school with 12th graders when we were in 8th. I had 12th grade football players in my 8th grade math class. Not a good idea. As an 8th grader it was scary being in school with 12th graders at that time period 1978-1982.
I went to a concert in San Diego 30+ years ago with a VIP ticket. I loved them then. I didn't go to concerts (still don't), but I loved their music and I loved the fact they were lesbians. I still have a soft spot for lesbians. I remember saying to them, "I would have made a good lesbian." Emily said, "It's not too late." That is a very dear memory. I'm so glad you had them on!!
I love that he asked them about cringey lyrics, ha. They have had some for sure. I’m so inspired by them and Lucinda Williams still putting out good music. Love both artist.
The documentary brought I'm sure many of us lesbians that are their age so many beautiful memories & some real life memories that were part of our growing up. You & Melissa Etheridge saved so many of us !! So much love for you all. ✌️🎸🎤💙
Love their music --don't care for one second whether they are gay or not. They kept fans from entering venue in Columbus Ohio for over an hour in sub zero temps in 91.
I love that Seth interviews like he's the biggest fan - he's got stan energy.
Amy and Emily are simply the best. I was lucky enough to conduct a concert with them in Portland with the Oregon Symphony. I’ll never forget that show!
Oh my! My wife saw them with the Milwaukee symphony a few weeks ago. She said it was great. Lucky you!! ♥️👍

@@lb5368 Sarah is a wonderful person!!
I was already a fan when I saw them in concert at Skidmore college in 94… their music beats in heart always
i go to skidmore now!! hello fellow skidkid!
Still one of the best concerts I've ever been to. Love them!

THANK YOU AMY AND EMILY FOR THE SHOUT OUT TO OUR BAND (THREE5HUMAN)!! WE LOVE YOU 4LIFE!!!!
I‘ve seen you open for them, you are excellent!
Your band is terrific! We also saw you open for the Indigo Girls in Wilmington, Delaware.
Trina!!! I saw you open for IG many years ago here in Minnesota. I saw you in Minneapolis, and then Mankato the next night. I made and gave you a knit scarf at the Mankato show. Do you remember?! You all are amazing and were so kind to me. Hope you’ve been well. ❤️❤️❤️
I love to hear how amazingly supportive their parents were in every way.
Saw them at the Newport Folk Festival in 1990 and became an instant fan. A friend who was with me was just shaking his head after their set. "They're an acoustic version of The Who!"
I think my sister came home from there and introduced me to them. Loved their music, but didn't see them until a few years ago. They are amazing!!!

Eeeek! How thrilled to see them on your show! Thank you 🥲
Closer to Fine was everything to me when it came out.
Was my theme song back then!!!

Genuis songwriters right here🥰❤️

We love amy ray emily sailers and seth meyers
This gives me so much joy! Love these ladies!

And I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles
With you always at my heels

@@cuchelo1I agree!!!
Brilliant song, musically and lyrically, and that line always comes to mind for me too when I think of it.
Amazing woman - seen their shows a dozen times and it never gets old.
Thank you for the interview Seth!!!! (Did you get any work out of Jenny while there were on the show>???)
Great interview! Love you guys!! ❤❤
Love them so much. Wish I got that streaming service. I bet that doc is AMAZING!!! I hope they post their performance on the show tonight!!! I missed it
It's available on TH-cam and a few others!
@@cmberger929 it is!!??!!
And you can order from distributor
Oh my gosh I never noticed, but actress Kerry Kinney-Silver could be their sister. She looks so much like them! They are legendary.
I had the pleasure of going to the same high school as them. Only a year or so younger
So did my aunt
@@auriagutierrez872 cool what's her name. I may know her

I watched the doc. Still crying.

OMG THESE ABSOLUTE QUEENS AND THE HOST OF CORRECTIONS IN ONE PLACE I'M SO HAPPY
Love love love love love love these brilliant legendary badasses. ♥️
Seth is so charming. "Is that the Blue Skies?"
We've seen the nearly a half-dozen times live, always one of my favorite bands! I think one of their albums is in my queue every month!
Fabulous! Thanks for having them on the show.
Amy’s SIL was one of my best friends growing up.
❤ Amy & Emily ❤
I love that he asked them about cringey lyrics, ha. They have had some for sure. I’m so inspired by them and Lucinda Williams still putting out good music. Love both artist.
I love their version of Jesus Christ Superstar. It rocks.
I love IG lyrics. I never cring at growth. It shows roots and where you have been. 💜
They were at our venue (point of the bluff) in Hammondsport,NY. Us and the concert goers loved the concert!
I love them!!! Bring back Lilith Fair! ❤❤
WE NEED IT!!
Just saw them at Red Rocks, so awesome to see at that venue
They are so lovely and such talents.
One of my favorite female bands of all growing up and saw live
The documentary brought I'm sure many of us lesbians that are their age so many beautiful memories & some real life memories that were part of our growing up. You & Melissa Etheridge saved so many of us !! So much love for you all. ✌️🎸🎤💙
Just saw them with Melissa Etheridge. Great show!!
LOVE THEM
Two incredible human beings
My favorite!!!
Love their music --don't care for one second whether they are gay or not. They kept fans from entering venue in Columbus Ohio for over an hour in sub zero temps in 91.
I came to find out what lyrics they changed but they didn't say
Hoping to find out here!

Maybe they can play at President Trump's inauguration.
What's the cringy song?
Majority of people aren't gay!!
Oh ok. Thanks.

Captain Obvious makes a comeback...
