Donna Summer with Art of Noise, “State Of Independence” LIVE

[@jasmith17561]

Off the scale....Mind-blowingly perfect. R.I.P. Donna. You are missed.

[@lamusiclover2264]

I've never heard this version with a full orchestra. Donna Summer, one of the greatest voices in music history

I absolutely agree 👍

[@barbarajaeger4515]

I had the great honor of seeing her live..this was her encore with full orchestra...I think I cried

[@andysurujbally8626]

I think this was one of her performance where she said I'm gonna do it before I die..... and she did. I love you Donna Summer ❤

[@old-manparker6153]

WOW! Thanks for posting this amazing live performance.

[@marthaibarra9295]

Mi juventud. Fue acompañada por la reyna de la musica disco, señora Donna Sumner. Que en oaz descanse. Suempre escuchare su musica. Soy Nicaraguense, con 64 años. ❤😢

[@filton0]

If I could 'like' this a thousand times ... I'm a weeping wreck here. Magnificent!

[@markjacobsen8335]

Jon Anderson is one of the greatest melody creators in history. What a blessing he collaborated with Vangelis to write this amazing song, and what a joy to hear Donna Summer cover it.

[@johnrodriguez6385]

Gracias dona lo canto en castellano

[@innosanto]

But Vangelis wrote the melody. Although in this song maybe they would both did a mix of their melody contribution, also according to a Jon interview. But most would probably be Vangelis so music credits are Vangelis and lyrics credits to Anderson.

[@cal_nevari]

@@innosanto well they are both necessary to make this song as great as it is, and they complement each other beautifully in my opinion. I don't know why I am reminded of this, but a very long time ago (like in the 1970s) I saw Martin Mull performing live and one of the things he said was "People often come up to me and say, "Marty, when you write a song, what do you write first the words or the lyrics? And I say, "Yes!" I think there was more to it, but that's the part I remember.

[@chucklehman5319]

She has no issues sharing the same stage with others. A true performer. No other comes close.

[@johnmichaelson9173]

I'm a grown arsed man with tears streaming down my face. Thank you Donna Summer.

[@sob-iLs]

Donna suffering here with lung cancer, the way she looks to the backing singer 😢 i can handle this now thanks, just wow!!

[@yves2348]

Backing singer is Jenny Berggren from Ace of Base. They became very good friends till the end..

[@christopherhughes2987]

Think its called the resilience of a soul that has been broken many many times "The No1 Disco Dancing Diva" certainly got many many "War Wounds" However this icon and true unsung hero of lifes trials and tribulations carries her wounds and medals on her sometimes broken body but always scarred with pride Ultimately graced and humbled for her lessons of life She will live on within our vesiles as we the followers must never forget and always rejoice and unify🙌🤝 in peace and harmony as evolution dictates (Biological and Innate Mechanisms) and NOT "The Toxic Orthodox and Propaganda" (Brain Washing) path that is encouraged by this "Mad Sad And Modern Society" Hallelujah Hallelujah "Lest We Not Forget The Unsung Heros Of Life" There are so many subliminal messages with certain artists and masters of their craft's and hold so many keys to open many many doors in our path and ultimately lifes decisions on how we open these doors Peace Love and Unity My fellow Old Skoolers from the Heart 💚 WE THE TRUE FOLLOWERS ARE ALL TRADITIONAL IN ORIENTATION

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

Her voice is incredible, I’ve always loved her, so beautiful too.

[@kellieturner7322]

Amen, I miss her ,what a beautiful angel

[@daz2791]

Queen Summer AON orchestra choral They are all perfect !!...We must not forget the two Danish fabulous percussionists of Safri Duo on the vibraphone....Fantastic live of genius Vangelis an Jon song

[@alwaysflushinpublic]

My NYC brother, former studio 54 patron, used to ring me up on a bad day and we would listen to this song together. Only, not since that day of tragedy. That day. RIP my brother.

[@paulcrisp9861]

There is simply no boundaries to the sublime ART OF NOISE or should that be A WORK OF ART? It sends a shiver down my spine and a tear to my eyes. Wonderful wonderful wonderful. A world united 🌏❤🌏❤ June twenty two 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍😃👍

[@matthewainsworth521]

Just absolutely magnificent, Donna summer you were incredible rip 😢

[@hangwithrichierich]

Donna Summer is definitely THE DISCO QUEEN and POP ICON and her influence and legacy were done in her own unique way. I can identify with Donna Summer and her creativity.

[@anthonypiazza6752]

Best performance of this song by Donna I've seen yet. The orchestra, the singers-everything just never fails to give me the chills. Just beautiful!

[@tachikaze222]

needed to build up more smoothly to the climax I think, too much noise from the start - like say the Wilson sisters' rendition of Stairway to Heaven ?

[@Luckyferdie]

Awesome is only one word to describe this masterpiece .

[@martinwhitley9893]

What a fantastic version of a fantastic song it’s just unbelievable the joy on everyone that’s singing and playing

[@sdouglas5207]

Thank you for posting one if my favourite songs of all time. This performance with full orchestra, and backing vocal is sublime. Donna your beautiful voice lives on. ❤❤❤

[@tizviz3921]

Love this song and love love love Donna Summer since her disco days... can never get her off my list of music requests.... thank you for sharing and letting the world see a true diva and someone who can be listened to day or night!!!!

[@davidpvt6817]

Amazing version. I hope someone gets into the Studio and manages to bring this back to life! Even if it does mean Digital Remastering. PLEASE someone do it❤

[@jambocks1]

It would be great if we could listen and see this in higher quality 💚

[@steve-2208]

This version ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn-odmCFfayHntk ... with her daughter, both sisters and nieces n nephews is by far the best live version. I only wish someone could remaster the video to full HD, it certainly deserves it, as does Donna

[@davidpvt6817]

ART OF NOISE? WHERE ARE YOU??!! PLEASE can one or maybe more of your digital guys polish this up a bit, without losing its SOUL? Release it and allow everyone to hear! PLEASE ❤

[@billcote7722]

This is not one of my favorite songs but it is one of my favorite performances. I did get a little teary listening to it.

[@riboid]

Jesus. That was special.

[@hangwithrichierich]

There is something about State of Independence that just makes me fall in love with the song.

[@jxfreelance]

It's just a dammed good song, thats all...

[@rde4017]

Sometimes the music is so MASSIVE that you just have to sit back and let it take you with it.

[@freelancer5798]

Yes, the orchestration of this piece of music is so masterful that you really just need to sit back, turn up the volume, close your eyes, and flow with the rhythm; and the choral accompaniment makes it soar!

[@bakkerem1967]

Despite the horrible sound quality it's clear this must have been a breathtaking experience. Thanks for posting ! Enjoyed it !

Sensational - thank you so much for posting this. European festivals are so joyful.

[@sweetwilly]

Something very special about this performance. She almost takes off at the end there. ❤️

[@michaeln4033]

Holy crap - what a song!

[@OliversElevators]

What a fantastic arrangement for the orchestra! It’s so true to the original, yet it incorporates many new sounds that can only come from the full orchestra. It’s the perfect blend.

[@martinrayner3851]

Amazing. It doesn't get any better than this.

[@Freakface666]

Wow, just discovered this version of this wonderful song and amazing artist. Better late then never I guess 😆😘

And what a brilliant cover it is!

[@gabrielgatsby]

Yes and the best and considered the definitive version 💜💜💜 This version is a masterpiece 💜💜💜 Some times a good song can be taken to a magic place by an incredible singer and this is a case in point. I assume you have listened to the original it doesn’t hit the scale of this version 💜💜💜

[@innosanto]

@@gabrielgatsby The other version is better but she tries more to convey the meaning of the words. So she sings more to point but still the other version is better. It is just that this is the poppy version and the other is psychedelic-techno-jazz - prog version.
