Sarah McLachlan - Possession (Jimmy Kimmel Live 2024)

[@colingoldthorpe5918]

Fun fact ....I was one of her Truck drivers on the 1998 Lilith Fair Tour !!! Was a fantastic Summer touring around America and Canada with my wife in the truck. She treat us like gold the whole tour, such a great voice and wonderful person.

[@LucasPenido]

What a great memory! Thank you for sharing!

[@Allison_White]

I saw her on that tour!!

[@catpaws007]

My second concert. I was 17.

[@preppyclaws1]

Bet that was an awesome experience thanks for sharing! Saw her at the Lilith Fair too in LA, she was amazing!

[@davin6175]

I went to a couple of those Lilith Fairs. Been too long to remember if it was '98 without looking it up though! 😆 My band used to cover Possession. It was one of the only songs I played bass on (I'm primarily a guitarist) because I had to sing that harmony part and the bass was more consistent rhythmically. It always went down well! Sarah is a fantastic songwriter and a beautiful soul.

[@paulberger1444]

It's like she teleported back 30 years. She's still gorgeous as ever and her voice is flawless.

[@wjhandy]

She is immune to the butter tart

So many unique artists came out of the 90s and Sarah was one of the best. She looks and sounds awesome here. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy is a masterpiece and really transports you back to that amazing era of music.

[@martinmiller7623]

I’m still wonder is it natural or effects ? Yes she has not lost anything to years amazing ❤

A few lingering close ups, would help. She's beautiful.

One of very few artists who has proven time and time again that she sounds even better LIVE, than on her albums. Her and her band are nothing short of immaculate up on any stage.

[@scapwell]

Went to two Lilith Fair's two years in a row. She was always utterly amazing live. Stage presence to match that amazing voice. :)

[@roberttaylor7732]

Her voice is from another realm.

[@avalon1108]

She’s maintained her vocals because she stays in her range. She hasn’t spent years abusing her cords like so many others. Perfect performance.

[@JohnC-yx5tq]

It's a pretty impressive range to start with.

[@hanneloreclemenson1228]

Like who?

[@jmsl_910]

@@hanneloreclemenson1228yes. i was wondering that too. our voice ranges typically tick downward with age bc our vocal chords become less elastic ...

Same. Fumbling Towards Ecstasy is an outstanding album. So many unforgettable, really exquisite tracks.

[@nolongerthere]

Following Vox, what a one-two punch of beautiful albums from someone so young! (Shout-out to Halifax, NS)

[@stephss]

[@jeffreyes6236]

Still a beautiful woman with an incredible voice all these years later!!

[@-woobies-]

she aged REALLY well. I forgot I had a massive crush on her voice 27 years ago. When it feels like they are singing to [you] -they’re doing it right. Which doesn’t always translate over audio alone.

[@turnbacktime65]

Me, too. Still gives me chills.

[@ITHINKDAFUCKNOTYOUTRICKASSBITC]

she's still young at 56.. once she's past her 60s thats when the major wear and tear will happen

[@privatepenguin3137]

She hasn't lost a step...still at the top of her game. Sounds and looks amazing. I love that they prominently show the backup singer...instead of hiding her behind a screen, or even worse, using a pre-recorded track. A++++ all around!

[@michellebenetvideos]

Kelly Clarkson promotes her backup singer. She introduces her and lets her sing some solo moments because Kelly always says how amazing she is. It's nice when you see an artist do that.

[@kathryn513]

Impeccable. How is that possible? Voice of an angel.

[@warrior2182]

I’m totally blown away at how great she sounds!! ❤️

[@canutethenewt]

30 years after the album and this still sounds fabulous. Amazing

[@ivannano]

Saw her at a small theatre a few weeks before 'Solace' was released. We all sat there with our mouths open at how good she was. I remember afterwards us saying if she didn't become a star there is something terribly wrong with the world.

[@dbeach4044]

Fabulous. Especially after such a long time. And her backup singer is a show-stopper with great harmonies.

[@Glenncurtis87]

Sarah still has it all and that band is TIGHT.

[@1984musicman]

Gosh her voice never changes. Her version of this song on her tour a few years back with just the piano and her voice was incredible.

As a Canadian we obviously all know each other. I used to work with a guy that went to high school with Sarah. He described her as smart, geeky and really into her music. That said I’ve seen her in concert many times in my live and have never left disappointed.

[@ocb-boston]

Wow. Her voice sounds as good as it did 30 years ago. I saw her in concert about 10 years ago, but this performance blew me away. What a voice. She had an amazing stretch of great music. Transcended me right back to a great period.

[@organicrecreations1338]

This is the best performance I've ever seen on Jimmy Kimmel show. I don't make a habit to watch it, but I'm so glad I saw this. This song got me through so much hardship growing up, and inspired me to use music as a means of healing and self therapy. Every lyric in this song is precious, and so is Sarah. Glad to see her healing hearts again. I wish her all the very best as she tours America again.

[@stonew1927]

Sounds as good as when it released 30 years ago. This was the soundtrack to my trip to Ecuador back in 94. I'd travel on the buses, sit by the side of the streams, lay on my bed late at night high in the Andes mountains listening to this song and the others from the album. It surprises me that even after all these years the lyrics pour out of me spontaneously, such was the impact of this music on my life.
