Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis - Charlotte 1-17-2008

[@jackfreemind]

OH YEA!!! I had the pleasure of meeting Marc Cohn years ago. He was my favorite artist at the time and I flew to the SF Bay Area to see the show. A gal saw me trying to look backstage and said, "Want to borrow my backstage pass?"(Not kidding!) So I walked backstage and saw him and said hello and that I came to see his show. He said "Cool man, want some coffee?" So we sat at a table and talked about music for like ten minutes and then he asked if I wanted to watch the show from the side of the stage and I did! He sounded awesome like always, and he's just an absolutely fantastic person, honestly one of the nicest and kindest people I've ever met. Gotta love the guy like another brother I hope he's doing really well.

30 + years later and I still love this song

[@kilovoltjoe]

Thanks Marc for such a great song...I played and sang this to support a church youth fund raiser and it was well received by young and old alike. Many told me that this was one of their all-time favorite songs. I emulated the live version..wasn't Marc but I think I was able to do it justice...

[@billivey2774]

I've seen him live in person,and found countless versions on KZbin. This remains my all-time favourite. I love his spoken introduction, too.

[@ssigal]

One of the greatest songwriters of all time. Saw him last month in Florida. Incredible.

[@bluegrassy1]

I love Mark Cohn and loved this song from the first time I ever heard it. Brings back great memories when I lived close to Memphis and hung out there often. I cannot listen to this song without just aching to go back for awhile. : )

[@AkizMe]

This song makes me tear up every time I hear it. I can't quite decide if it is because of Marc Cohn's fabulous voice, the lyrics, the tune, or how so heartfelt it feels. Probably all of the above.

[@tongbei1]

It sure is great to hear a musician who cares about their performance and delivering something great to the audience!

[@troubleman27]

i travelled from the UK to see Marc. I'd have paid 3 times over, his band. his personality are so much greater than this record. Shayne and the lads had so much time for us. Then I met my hero of 20 years - Marc - just a true gent. I will never forget that night!

[@carsonsheir]

I don't often post comments but this version just sent a shiver down my spine. I have seen many people perform fav songs live.. this one blows all the others away.

[@haller1929]

Hard to believe this song is almost 20 years old and they still play it on the radio...it still stands...

[@heffala]

Marc Cohn played the Fargo theater with his band....Shane Fontane on guitar and back up singer. I have been a fan of Marc Cohn but seeing him LIVE....TRULY AMAZING TALENTED...AND story teller. He had to come back three times as the cheers and screams of pure delight . He signed c.d's. AMAZING....Those go see him in person ...He is ONE OF THE BEST! I could not get good concert c.d. This is AWESOME

[@wthjrtx1]

Great story and rmember being a kid in Memphis, When it still had soul and rock n roll was still being revered... We had it great. Thanks for posting!

[@bmayer504]

I was at this concert and what a great treat to see this great performance again.

[@papermooncafe]

We had soooo much fun at this show. I will surely see all of the again. The entire band rocked!

[@freeline39]

First , this guy is an entertainer , and this is rare. Second , the true mark of this song... everyone sounds good singing ' Walking in Memphis ' Some sound better but everyone sounds good. MC captured a time , a feeling , the essence of a place. Maybe , b/c I've never been , I'm guessing ! Bravo , Monsieur Cohen

[@pfretz13]

Esp. for what looks like a cell phone in 2008 from 7 years ago.

[@elvisapresley68]

Marc, God Bless this song... First time in Graceland was 1993 as a 17 year old kid... Good stuff... My Grandmother is Muriel... Love Elvis & Muriel LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS!!!

[@newhotman1001]

One of my wife's favorite songs. Beautifully composed and sung by Marc Cohn. Thank you for posting this.

Marc Cohn is truly one of the greatest musicians that ever lived!

Great voice, great feel with a great song. Doesn't get any better.

[@gomer92m]

[@Geezyrider]

Amazing talent, great writer and player. I love Marcs style. Hope to catch him live someday soon.

[@smokemorgan]

Thanks for sharing this one. How nice to see him perform it live. I still remember the first time I heard this song. It gave me goosebumps. It is still my favorite song. It ends up on every CD I burn.

[@QueenGemini420]

A timeless song that anyone can hear and love after just hearing it once.

[@Kane44WWE]

Amazing!!! Marc Cohn and Walking in Memphis, a wonderful Song and a great Singer!

[@obrienjamesband]

The purest of music is timeless and beautiful, and sometimes hard to take. When I listen to this it fills me and I cant listen to anything else until I need the next one. Then Ray Charles or SRV will do just fine

[@vinstrumentals]

There's nothing better than REAL LIVE music! Sweet

[@chipman8833]

this song give me chills everytime i hear it. its so powerful. lots of soul

[@vee2901]

one of the GREATEST songs ever written-

[@mattascular]

Saw him last night in Arvada, CO. Amazing show! Signed cd and picture for me! :)

[@Honker66]

I'll carry Memphis close to my heart forever! You step out into her and she is electric!

[@drfreud65]

this song is in my "inspirational" playlist--I remember what happened to him, and it inspires me to think if he can come back from that, what could I do?

[@ramuthra1]

Great riff, been trying to find the song for ages:)

[@1pupblacky]

wow --it was your song that made me drive from fl to memphis ----if a song can inspire you that much--then you have done your job.

[@MrCaslad]

Ace, I remeber Walkin' in Memphis coming out, it wass love at first hearing, I have got the original record and still get the same buzz hering it as I did in 1986. This year I followed in Marc's foosteps I walked in Memphis. Watch out for the po.ems

[@adrianariccitelli4307]

such a beautiful song, and his story... love his voice too.. chapeau!!

[@s216674]

Incredible, timeless, and classic.

[@Dorrektor125]

I listen to Rock and Roll, heavy metal, and sometimes even Dubstep, but i always come back to this song if I want something good

[@theninjaofdeath879]

the notes being played on the piano just makes me feel ... ALIVE

[@wbfilm]

Walking in Memphis? The whole album is loaded with incredible songs. Do yourself a huge favor, treat yourself to a great, complete work. Get the CD, the whole enchilada, baby. Mr. Cohn, ain't no one hit wonder.

[@davethomas4589]

"Silver Thunderbird" was my second favorite from that album....but yes, the whole CD was fantastic.

[@falcon0351]

Its special alright...has a real power..emotional...words dont express...awesome..Go MARC...

[@eltomo78]

I actually played this song while walking downtown on Beale. Good times. I only walk Beale in the morning now. It gets crazy at night.

[@muminekkasia]

One of my favourite songs ever.

[@doddsy18]

thanks for posting this Ma fav song in the world xxx

[@RawiriJay]

Bow down these vocals are incredible!

[@EMTNytHawk]

This is an awesome video, based on an awesome song. I wish more of his songs / albums had this kind of success, because he is an incredible singer / songwriter. I have heard Cher's version, and Lonestar's; while they are both good versions, I feel Marc Cohn's (the original) is still the best

[@dlevans01]

Damn... That was awesome...

[@necromancexiii]

everytime i hear it goosebumps man i get friggin goosebumps i so wanted to sing this song in front of everyone because its an awesome song

[@raules7]

[@Froodrook]

the greatest song in the world that expression is thrown around alot, but i mean it with all my heart

[@ForeverJRock]

Marc Cohn is so good. Unfortunate that this is pretty much the only one that people know. He's just off the chain.

[@ykzcirip]
