Really cool and I see that the coolness was passed on to your child there's a smile on my face and a tear in my eye God bless you Melanie rest in peace dear lady
Really something when she invited all the people up on the stage for candles in the rain the spirit still there girl and hopefully it will always be here
Loving Memories . Met her when she was the only one who showed and sang at the unfestival Festival at Powder Ridge Ski mini resort. I was in theatre costuming and wanted to make her a costume!Just loved her clothes along with her songwriting singing and was hoping to see her after my 4 year mourning from.my grief! Cannot imagine losing your mother!😢 Prayers!🎉😂😂 4 again
I'm so sorry to hear that she has passed on. What a performer, writer, singer and guitarist! A really rare talent. Unsung hero of the 60/70s, singing wonderfully in the 2020s, as a latter day Malvina Reynolds but Melanie is her own girl, that she is in this metaphysical world, where "you can't get there from here" she got there, licence or no licence. Unique lady. Great guitar playing from Beau her son. Just a fantastic farewell concert. Creative voice resonates so fully with no researched ambiguities. Lovely fresh songs which say it as it not so simply is. You sang for the unsung. You will be missed dear girl.
“Can you take another new one?” I love how aware she is that people probably came for nostalgia, not aware she is still a creative artist, finding new expressions she wants to share. How beautiful is that, sharing the stage with her amazingly talented son.
To me, she represented the very best of American hippiedom and allowed many of us Europeans to view the USA in a far more favourable light than that presented by the "official" version.
Don't think there's any such thing as an "official" version; just a fleeting fiction. The hippies, taken as a whole, were an amazingly brave, creative tribe who pushed the many bogus boundaries of America of that day. Just a fantastic time.
Melanie! You look like a friend of mine! Just a youngin I was seeing you at Carnegie...early 70"s. Brought you a bag of sunflower seeds and tied my silver bird ring to it and walked it up to you on stage! You were so kind to this groupie chick who adored you!!! Peace Mama...see you on the Good Red Road Sister
Melanie, is the reason, I start playing guitar,… I loved her from start. ♥️ Rest in peace, Lady. I can’t believe it..😢 I wish strength for your family.
Melanie is a sweet reminder of the beauty and wonder of my teen years and beyond. I absolutely love her and appreciate her. The new music is relevant and lovely. Her personality and wisdom is very much present. I will miss you Melanie, but you definitely are very much present in my heart and life.
A true character, a beautiful soul, and an artist who brought a smile to your face and joy into your heart. Bless you, Melanie. May Heaven be as good to you as you were to us fans.
As an expert, I would have loved to have guided her through her health issues. I will always hear you playing Melanie. Thank you Beau and Melanie for this last concert which was the “first” of her farewell tour. Beautiful soul, there is more for us all, including you - part of the beautiful people who have graced this world.
The specific information has not been released to the public. We can all see from this concert a number of issues but everything would be conjecture even though much of it is pretty self evident. Bless her.
Woman embodied everything from the times.....So many of us grew up listening to here music....Loved the Songs Lay Down/Candles in the rain & the song Ring the Living Bell....RIP lady, hope you bring as much joy to heaven as you did to earth...
Delighted she kept the spirit of our generation of peace, love & transcendence throughout her life. Loved her comments on the "lockdown" and, yes, in our time the Who was just a rock group. Thank you for recording this marvelous experience. RIP Melanie.

Sorry about Melanie's passing.i want to convey my condolences and express my sympathy to her family, friends and relatives.i have not heard anything more about Melanie until discovered her demise on my smartphone. Rest in peace melanie
What a Beautiful Soul....singing and performing her entire life....Beau has been so much help to her after Peter Passed....he himself....has his moms love of music....my heart goes out to her entire family the world has loss a lovely Soul...
Nicely put, a lovely tribute. I was thinking the same about Beau. Hope the memories and the love given by Melanie and returned by so many around the world, will be of comfort to him and the family. RIP x
The new songs are FANTASTIC! I love Melanie's honesty. What a REALLY COOL PERSON. Her son Beau is really really cool too. Took after his mother a lot... lucky him.
Always loved her music. Great lyrics, great music, great singer, great stage presence. Only yesterday, I was shocked to learn that she passed away on 23rd January 2024. Melanie, no stardom, but a star nevertheless. She contributed to the beauty of the world. Dear Melanie, May she rest in peace.
Just like going to your favorite aunt's house for dinner. Melanie made us all feel like we were at home. She always said, let's all be alone TOGETHER 😊
Wow: What a refreshing SURPRISE to hear how good Melanie still sounded, how powerfully her new material struck me, and that she apparently rejected much of the PC-straight jacket nonsense that’s become all-too-prevalent in the ensuing years since her magnificent talent made her a household name!..
I've been listening to Melanie's music since my university day. I still remember vividly her concert at the Royal albert Hall in the early 70's when I was a graduate student at the London School of Economics. So sad to learn of the sad news that she has passed on. RIP Melanie. Your music will always remain a part of my life.
Well, I really want to say that I love your story that you’re very intellectual in your storytelling and it draws you in and then you have the music to back it up with. That’s what I’m saying you guys are the most incredible band musicians that I have heard in a long time. Thank you.
😢 Melanie, such inner to outward strength, yet so fragile in voice & appearance; so brave,courageous, cheery and artistic in singing, so sweetly; no matter which song she sings, she's earthy & uplifting on the same note. Melanie spreads so much happiness! ❤❤❤ Inspiration, with no end, Melanie! ❤❤❤ Thank you! ❤❤❤ 42:11

The saddest thing to lose a star , but more to lose a mum. Rip you beautiful soul, fly high , fly low wherever you go xxx
The calendar for 1968 ( the year Melanie's first album came out) perfectly matches this year's calendar.
Really cool and I see that the coolness was passed on to your child there's a smile on my face and a tear in my eye God bless you Melanie rest in peace dear lady
Really something when she invited all the people up on the stage for candles in the rain the spirit still there girl and hopefully it will always be here
I wish that all people would be so loving and beautiful and intelligent as Melanie... 💗

What were her health problems?
The specific information has not been released to the public. We can all see from this concert a number of issues but everything would be conjecture even though much of it is pretty self evident. Bless her.
Her first album was made in 1968 and 2024's calendar matches 1968's day for day.

Yes, she even threw in a "you will own nothing and be happy" at the end of that Aloha Lucifer song. Good on you Melanie!

I've been listening to Melanie's music since my university day.

So sad to learn of the sad news that she has passed on. RIP Melanie. Your music will always remain a part of my life.
