kd lang Live - BBC Radio 2 In Concert - Thursday, 21 April 2011 (Full Show)

I was in the audience for this show at the BBC's Radio Theatre in London on Thursday, 21 April 2011. The quality of the screen grab is poor, I know but it's all there is out there. The audio is from the BBC radio transmission. It's taken me 8 years to get around to syncing it all up.
kd performs some of her hits as well as songs from her 2011 album, Sing It Loud.
Hope you enjoy this brilliant performance by one of the greatest singers ever!
UPDATED 7 May 2021
I'm sorry about all the interruptions with adverts. This has nothing to do with me, my channel is not monetised, I don't care for doing that. This is KZbin adding these adverts in. Very very annoying.
By the way, thank you for all your comments about my putting this together. I am thrilled you all love it as much as I do. All the best, Elio Pace ❤️

This woman loves what she does. She's not singin' for the money. There's something deep goin' on there. What a joy...what a treat...how fortunate we are to have someone like that around.

[@cheryl5682]

I've always loved her!

[@NAVYWhistleblowerAssassin]

Well said. KD never sold out.

One of the good lords miracles

[@dabear2438]

One of the best voices ever....

[@mollykafes2680]

There is no one on earth that sings like k.d. lang.

[@kiddozoo]

Her voice and songs bring the rest of us together...maybe this is how we'll reach peace.

[@G2mxrZ]

Peace? What a concept!!!💙

[@kristihare4424]

Yes!!!

[@evelynmulvaney173]

KD. Best Female, singer ever. There is NOT one, type of song, she cannot sing. Totally amazing. Such a talent. Been with her, from the start. What a joy, Interviews, also, She comes across, soo well. She is definately nobody's fool. Nashville, wouldn't recognise a true talent, if it smacked them in the face. Big money grabbers. Well KD. Showed them. OMG Look what they missed. Appreciate this, Sooo much. Brilliant Concert. Sending Love, to all you KD fans, out there. 🇮🇪💚👍

[@annwieland1]

The best voice in the business. She’s beautiful, intelligent and talented. Love you, kd!!!

[@theresagriffiths4477]

I love your gorgeous music kd lang it fills my heart always with love in my heart for you. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@dorothymilne1258]

Oh boy! If there’s a better way to wave goodbye to 2023, I don’t believe it. Just me and k.d. I’m happy, thanks for posting it, thought I’d seen it. Happy 2024 all you fans out there. From South Africa. Adore her.

[@ElviraParas-f3i]

I only heard of k d Lang when I happen to see Roy's video on Crying having a duet with K D, and only last December 2023. I was at awe with her own style and interpretation of the song..amazing. so beautiful!

[@brendaallred2319]

My all-time favorite artist, she is phenomenal.

[@DianeBarron-vh8qz]

I am mesmerized by her voice

[@gzucc]

As a Canadian and a deep and abiding love for the sound of women's voices in pop music, I really have to say the 'Canadian twang' is real. The tonal changes that Buffy Ste. Marie, Anne Murray, Joni Mitchell have contributed to the 'real' sound of pop music is ....immeasurable.

[@sawtoothiandi]

never thought of it that way...but true!

[@ceciliarund3369]

Beautiful control, beautiful sound, beautiful person

[@sandra1582]

No one can communicate a lyric and ithe meaning as it was intended like kdlang. Incredible voice and talent!! Lovely smile, as always!

[@susangordon8093]

Yes, Helpless. She sings it. She owns it. A favorite of mine. Also Crying and Hallelujah

[@laulau5818]

The most beautiful Hallelujah I ever heard, so proud of you Canadian , hallelujah ❤ hallelujah ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@rebeccaelle135]

What a voice! Passion.

[@debbiecrow8963]

Nobody should ever have to apologize for standing behind a friend, especially a friend of 25 years!

[@sammy6176]

Yes, the greatest female singer undead!! Very underestimated. Its funny how any song she sings that originated from someone else ceases to be theirs anymore😂❤

[@Petunia2023]

K.D’s voice is as pure as gold & her performance is stellar! I love watching her sing; her voice & her face draws you in…I feel like I’m right next to her! She is simply…the BEST ever!!! ⭐️💗⭐️

[@joaidane]

Ahhh KD, so many years being blown away by that voice. I may get old, but your voice never!

[@ritadegenova7610]

KD IS WITHOUT DOUBT ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS TODAY , GO KD !

[@Bella-d1v9y]

Just seeing it now. Thanks for all your work bringing it forward. kd's the greatest.

[@evancasto1988]

I’m just finding out about her and now I’m fucking obsessed

[@ritadegenova7610]

GET A Grip

[@Julie-sw8xv]

I can't blame you!

[@netw52]

Welcome to your new addiction. Today is her birthday.

[@Poecilia1963]

😁 I first saw her 39 years ago, playing outdoors on the quad at my uni campus. She was wearing a wedding dress and cowboy boots and kinda rockabilly. Welcome to the club 🙂

[@Pylypczak]

Me too!!

[@officeboy89]

What a beautiful voice

[@theresagriffiths4477]

I love you so much kd lang with all of my heart

[@gillfleming1741]

I saw her in Birmingham uk this year and she was so engaged with the audience. A really lovely person with a smile to match her gorgeous voice.

[@lindaburton1633]

Gill Fleming I love her smile, and her sense of humor too. She’s just so down to earth and special!

[@homeroyomero]

I believe you, she seems nice

[@ericty8782]

Instablaster...

[@jeannetaylor2217]

AMEN to that!

[@marjoriemann2376]

Yyyyyyyyyy

[@lesliefarrar2264]

It’s something special to see/hear the entire concert. Much appreciated.

[@cathyalfini8801]

Thankyou.......KD simply the BEST!!!!!!!

[@ClaudiaSantosdjmisscloud]

She is simply magnificent!

[@ronnidubois5725]

What can anyone say about this powerhouse female singer who is one of the best in the world! Thanks KD.......the smoothest voice💞

[@octaviof.g.7316]

That is a powerhouse voice

[@carrolteel5799]

She IS the best female singer of all time to me!

[@joananderson2011]

If you haven't already, listen to KD singing Roy Orbison's Crying. Another fabulous rendition.

[@Radiancegrace]

One word- SOUL🙏🏻❤️

[@margaretlovelock7031]

Definitely‼️

[@dominicaaaaa5547]

Fantastic singer and she seems like a lovely person too

[@sandeegirl494]

K.D. is anything but Tone deaf. Her voice is phenomenal. I never saw anyone feel Hallelujah the way she does when she sings it. It is utterly beautiful. I see it as the equalizer in her concerts. She gets transported to a calmer center. But the first song that pulled me in was decades ago on her movie Salmonberries. That enigmatic “Barefoot”. I fell in love with that song and K.D. Lang’s personality. I didn’t know how big she would become, and I will enjoy catching up and reconnecting. K.D. I love your style, and I especially love how you connect with your audience. And I too love Harmonizing. I love being your background to Hallelujah in my living room. Brava😍.

[@robertatyson168]

Soooooooo beautiful, melodious, dreamy, fulfilling, lovely. The absolute greatest voice ever.

[@wendy6481]

Her voice is incredible!

[@robodd4694]

Wow. What an ending. Blow their minds and give it all you got and she did. At her stage you really don't need to put much effort into impressing and yet she doesn't fall back on lazy, oh they'll love me anyways, but just gives you more and more. That ending is a pure example, blow them away! A true professional who does it for the love of the art.

[@mandybenecke928]

THERE IS A SPIRIT THAT COMES STRAIGHT FROM GOD - HER VOICE BRINGS ME BACK FROM THE DEAD!

[@suemarie6676]

Hehe right! Yet can be totally calming

[@Maggy47]

Luv luv luv kd lang 💓 💖

[@marieborchers6787]

She lives a breathe away from me my last wish is to meet her I don't have much time 😢

[@mav9985]

One of the best singers ever her voice is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@LindaBrown-bp4yx]

I have chills all over Watching her sing Constant Craving. !!! When she sings she uses her whole body!! Amazing performance!! No one will ever surpass her!! ❤️😪👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🙏🌟❤️❤️❤️

[@diannefields4609]

She’s feels the emotion of what she sings as Elvis did! Chills!

[@tomaszstarzewski6459]

Pure genius, vocally it doesn’t get better. Thank you for posting.

[@barbarafischer3507]

Her voice and songs touch your soul

[@boa1793]

I wouldn’t say genius. I’d say sensuous, passionate. She brings me close to tears her voice so erotic.

[@pacofernandez4591]

What a voice!!!!! Mmmmmmmm...... such songs! :)

[@heathermcparland5501]

Love to you every day you still sing with all you have just like when you where a girl.....time goes so fast....I love you ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gwendolynfish2102]

She always delivers! What a voice! Velvety , smooth and rich !

[@glennaembrett610]

So fitting ..written by a Canadian..Leonard Cohen and sung by another great Canadian..this is the very best version of this song !! Thanķ you K.D. !!

[@gracedamore8186]

I can’t believe how much joy k.d. lang has brought into my life… every time I hear her voice, I know everything will be alright. Mahalo k.d. 🌺 for your beautiful music 🤙🏽 ❤ and the passion you bring to your songs.

[@barbarapascoe5673]

Thank you for sharing this, adore kd lang

[@mindywong3839]

I have watched this in full 5 times and I believe there will be many more rounds. kd's voice is beautiful and her face is a big bonus. I like the way she brings the mic far away but her voice doesn't get softer but more beautiful. Hallelujah shows her gifted voice with varied tones. I can't munch on chips while watching this video. I can but choose not to because I will miss alot of beautiful facial expressions. She puts her soul into every song. And her normal speaking tone is sensual. Like the part about needing to sing a British song. Celine dion and Madonna made 40+ times what kd made in her career. But frankly their voices are not as good. Perhaps it's because their songs have mass appeal. There was no one like her and there will never be one after her. kd is special. I hope she will tour again. I love you, kd. 💜 You have made the world more beautiful with your voice.

[@cathyhuffman3359]

K. D. Lang! Doesn't get much better than that! She is in a league of her own in my humble opinion.

[@kylealexander1514]

Her Voice is just so pristine.... like every note is perfect, and the tone is so pure

[@ingermimi]

I just discovered this wonderwoman today. The best singer ever!!

[@rebeccavaughan3615]

k d takes my breath away!! Outstanding vocals! 😊🎶❤

[@christinegaddo7204]

I have fallen in love with KD Lang’s voice pure like angels singing.there has never been a beautiful voice like hers , and am sure there will be no other. She is truly one of the chosen. Yes I’m in love!

[@joanbunsick690]

A Beautiful voice & beautiful personality. One of the greatest singers in the world. A gift from God.

[@homeroyomero]

I been binging on this woman for 30 minutes and can't get enough, what powerful and soft voice at the same time.

[@jamesmcloughlin4875]

Thank you for all the hard graft in making this amazing gig available for everyone !

[@LindaBrown-bp4yx]

When she sings the Angels stop and listen!! Love her so much! This was in 2011! She retired from touring I wish she would do a concert on HBO so we can enjoy her catalogue of songs!! I only get bits here and there and I get lucky to see her singing’!’ She has Amazing control and sings slightly before the words! Sinatra had that way of singing too! Just in front of the notes! ❤️❤️🫶🏻

[@KP-jr4hh]

It would be awesome if this performance was made into an album. Simply the best.

[@l.e.6263]

To uploader: thanks for all the work, the audio is fine, ppl be fine listening to kd ‘s unique great voice synced or not. Thanks for not being monetized with ads.

１９８０年代から聴いています。日本にもKDのような歌手アーティストがいたら、そして聴く側も本物志向だったら。 私はずっとファンです。。

[@roberthenson1710]

Unique talent

[@sqflo2]

Her range! Her voice just melts into you. Love she's barefoot

[@dianemcallister3032]

She's the Barefoot Songstress

[@GregTroy]

JD is offering us her soul. Few singers can do that.

[@kristihare4424]

Yes!

[@evelynmulvaney173]

Have always been a huge fan of K. D. Since the start, I loved country music, she was the best female singer in that time..Again like my fav. Male Singer, Dwight Yokham, The big money grabbers, in Nashville, would not give them a chance. But they both had enormous success. Rightly so. Both changed styles of music, to whatever suited them. They are unique, gifted, with such special vocals. Blow you away. If Roy Orbison, choose KD, to Duet, with him, you know ur special. She got the big O. back in the recording Studio, as Dwight did with Buck Owens. Both went straight to No 1.And won an award. How Brilliant 'Sooo Nashville. Big Wigs, we're put right in their place. They wouldn't know Talent if it smacked them in the face. Brilliant Video, many tks. 👍🇮🇪💚

[@margaretlovelock7031]

To sing live Heaven is a feat that so so many couldn’t do. It’s so much easier in a recording studio, that is pure talent. From country to jazz she touches all generes and does It so beautifully with tones that range from ‘suadente to powerful this gal does them all and makes it al seem so easy. The biggest icons on todays musical scene might command the youngsters whims but none of them not even Taylor Smith can equal her. I’m including here Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, J. Low, Tina Turner not even Aretha could change from Country to ballad to jazz so easily and do them all perfectly. Her voice is such a gift, a gift that she has learned to control it rendering any and every song easy for her to sing. That might not be the case but that is what comes over with every song she sings, her RESPECT for music comes over loud and clear together with her abundance of love for every single note she sings. ❤️

[@juliawai245]

True amazing vocal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@aetherlumina53]

❤ heaven is transformational

[@BridgitMurphy]

Magnificent singer and band thanks for posting this

So adore this woman. Am 72 and fell in love with Constant Cravings.

[@lorihere7946]

Back again. I love this concert and the Max Sessions. I have all her cd's but I try to listen to as many concerts as I can again because she is so awesome to view onstage no matter how many times you've seen her, thanks to youtube and the EP68 and all others who post them for us to see...thank you! Just watched INGENUE again on my 40 inch TV...never tire of seeing it again...love the way she shares with her unforgettable and breathtaking voice! Now, the Water's age; Love that song!

[@ritadegenova7610]

One of our all time greats who has handle on who she is and is proud of who she is as well ! GO KD!

[@gailgause7671]

November 2nd 2021 Happy 60th birthday 🎂 to the handsomely beautiful kd lang! I hope you know the joy you have brought the world. Love you kd.

[@charliezxi]

Fantastic! Interesting how her onstage demeanor has changed through the years from eyes closed delivery to staring into the audience with a devil-may-care attitude. Spectacular voice.

[@roseboudreaux9922]

Absolutely awesome performance! Loved every second of it and still feel i didn't get enough of KD Lang and her great and musically and instrumentally talented band members! Just such a fabulous performance!

[@phyllisdelgado3751]

What a voice, she is pure joy. She needs to give Jazz a whirl. Nancy Wilson has a song I believe it’s “an Old man in some old country”. I can hear her rock it to the heavens. Lucky me, I started looking up her work about a week ago. I am mesmerized 💕

[@juliawai245]

Once you start listen to her, you just can't stop digging up all her performance and listen to each and every one of it.

[@robertcame]

AWESOME SINGER, WHAT A VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@martin.baldock9719]

Good to hear her cover Matte Kudasai by King Crimson, which had a significant influence on her song writing. Interesting to hear the deathly silence when she introduced it.

[@yogibhadrapala]

11:19 I love her k.d lang amazing peaceful smooth heavenly

[@johnlamb6060]

saw fabulous kd in July 2019 England she's always wowed me such emotional singer and a voice no other comes close to beautiful person

[@genevamartin9906]

I miss kd lang concerts. Maybe after this virus epidemic is over she could do one for old times sake. This would complete my bucket list and make many many fans very happy. Been in love with her music for many years. First time i heard her at "three sisters" in Denver i knew she was special and gifted with awesome talent. Kathy and i her sister jen ----- the prairie twins----- miss you.
