Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings - The way it will be (Live @ Jills veranda)

[@ricks7469]

Gillian and Dave. A truly glorious and lasting musical collaboration. Makes one feel honored to be fortunate enough to be hearing them.

I come back to this vid every season to be reminded that magic exists in this world.

[@drewgriffith6641]

Same bro. Also.. I love your videos. Now I love you more knowing that you love this video😂

[@Suspend02]

We have tickets to see Gillian and Dave soon. They haven’t been out touring since covid. We bought the new album and when we got word that they are playing some shows, we got tickets! My wife and I try to learn a few of their songs. It’s music therapy and it’s fun. We just try to learn how to fly around the way they do. So nice.

[@rootbox]

Can't tell where one voice ends and one begins

[@paulgoodall_]

Sublime

[@korereviews8088]

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. And how many vocalists nowadays can pull off a live performance that perfect?

[@petsubet]

The lyrics are magic, like so many of theirs are. It is beautiful...🎩

[@shawnavanhorn933]

Amen! And VERY nearly NONE!

[@CaalamusTube]

...she's got a number in that category & our dear Mr. Rawlings has taken up writing his own as well! Another great one is "I Dream a Highway". Or how about "Annabelle", "Caleb Meyer"? :]

[@debrabeck9630]

@@CaalamusTubeThey are all amazing, but Caleb Meyer is an exceptionally astounding song. They slay that song so strong and hard it takes your breath away.

[@andrewjamesstewart139]

The puzzled faces of a confused and dazed audience - unaware they were going to become significantly more human on this day... well it's pure gold.

Veronica Maggio looks close to tears. That's how I feel every time I hear this.

[@otisobl]

Regardless of what genre you come from, whether you listen to classic, punk, or techno: This is impeccable musicianship.

seeing them live was so memorable. I love Gillian and Dave!

[@gpeddino]

This is so impeccable that it's almost overwhelming.

[@sandrabarnett4874]

Thank you God for the gift of hearing.

Dave Rawlings is my favorite living guitarist. Totally uniquely expressive and technically brilliant as well.

[@jean-michelpascal7962]

Yes, I agree. But I love Derek Trucks as much. And Warren Haynes, and Jimmy Herring and...

[@jimallen8]

Agreed . . no pedals here

[@markandlauraroberts8611]

One of my favorites too, but if you like him you should check out Molly Tuttle….probably the best acoustic guitarist in the world right now…

[@CenterThePendulum]

He and Julian Lage are pure taste. I’d put Nels Cline in their category too.

Billy Strings humbly enters the chat

[@snaizester]

The way the blond-haired woman looks at 1:09 is the way my heart feels every time I listen to this song. Sorrow, awe, and beauty all wrapped in one.

[@Macoscis]

I do, too.

[@Anon-Ymous2065]

So beautiful. Their performances are even more amazing when you realize they're playing unamplified guitars into stage mics. And Rawlings' guitar is a 1935 Epiphone Olympic he rescued off the floor in a friend's garage.

[@TexFitz]

I was wondering what he was playing. They kept close up on hers but bad angles on his. Thanks for point this out

[@kluge2000]

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings have to be considered one of the best two piece bands of all times. I’d put them up there with Muddy Waters and Little Walter even.

[@beachdog67]

Every time I find my way back here I'm blown away all over again.

[@nankerphelge3771]

This is a song I will come back to hear every so often for the rest of my life.

[@davewalsh3885]

Somebody really needs to give that blonde lady a hug.

[@durwoodball4062]

These two are best musician-singer-composers since the Beatles. Look at how they face into one another, look at one another, and become one singer and player. They sing this piece in unison during the verses; they are perfectly in tune. They nail their pitches again, again, again. Their harmonies melt my heart. Wow!

[@seanmarshallmusic]

The simplicity, yet power of unison vocals. Synchronized and brooding. Harder to execute than most would assume. They go into harmony, also, but man that unison hits you.

[@ClueFinderDirtDigger]

right! I wasn’t watching the screen at the beginning, and for a moment I actually thought it was only one voice with reverb. Just breathtaking.

[@ddh-o8s]

Not to mention Dave is weaving these fills that seems so effortless while meeting Gillian in a heartfelt moment. These guys are breathtaking.

[@tylerrigdon6795]

You’re very right. It blew me away off the bat.

[@martio4521]

You are right - the power of unison vocals is just incredible ....

[@lj7169]

Two of the most underrated artists of all time. Especially Gillian. I consider myself blessed to be British and know who she is. Lol

[@sonicweaselman]

I had the honor to play bass on the side of Chris Whitley for years. This couple ... how they play and feel together ... it's nothing less than the power of music: The power of love

[@steveoneill8100]

Chris,,,Such a Fine Man

[@RealArtsMedia]

Chris was something, I played with him just a couple of times by chance - just jamming buddies when he was starting out in Greenwich Village, he had a buddy Warren or something played a mean blues harp - I was a good player even then, but man he totally smoked me.

[@opusnoctem3650]

so cool... chris and gillian/david are in a very similar lane when it comes to naturally amazing song writers in my opinion, its like theres another level to every song compared to other people, P&L

[@derekbiggerstaff]

I walked in to a record store in 1990 and over the sound system I heard "We still runnin'?" and I just knew I was about to hear something special! Saw him live a few years later in Glasgow, Scotland. The real thing.

Yes he is. Just came across this interview with him and how he started playing kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqq6ha13pL-bsKc

[@chipsterb4946]

Gary MacMillan - at 3:22 he starts a very short riff that sounds like harmonics but it’s really unusual. Fits perfectly with the song, of course. Talk about complete, nearly unconscious, mastery of your instrument,ent.

[@matchismo]

And check out the harmony line he sings. Absolutely perfect

[@barn_ninny]

This song absolutely gutted me the very first time I heard it. My first listen through Harrow & Harvest. I got to this track, and I just kept replaying it. Later played it for a musically gifted singer and friend who'd recorded some albums. He sat there nodding and said, "I like the way they doubled her vocals." I grinned and said, "Huh-uh. That's her *and him*. Probably live in the studio." Thrilling to see them do it live. And the song STILL guts me. One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. Thanks for posting it.
