Maria Muldaur Midnight at the Oasis from LIve In Concert

[@only1moore]

Maria, you still have soul!

[@lclaughton]

Nicely stated with wisdom and class. Muldaur is still one very incredible singer. So the key was lowed to C so what...Still a great performance in my book and what a joy to hear her doing so well 40 years later!! Would the guy who thought she was performing from a resthome be as good at his or her craft 40 years later?

[@Motherjeannes]

I saw Maria at Fitchburg State College, MA in the fall of 1972 and she was dynamic, her voice was clear and she was gorgeous. I'll always remember her that way.

[@onnietalone3181]

1972 ,lol, right. this song , the sound fit right , in

[@charlenejohnson4427]

No matter which way she does it,she's good

[@drhboers]

I'm still so impressed when hearing this song. How can a song be so beautiful

[@jessiebrown5628]

She still has a nice voice more like a smooth jazzy voice love it🌹❤️❤️♥️😁🔥🔥

[@y2k7-9-11]

........ I'm still listening to this ICONIC SONG.......I first heard it in the only place I know well....2121 Marengo Place....Los Angeles California.......1967......my childhood.... happy to be here ....happy you are here too.

[@clintxoxox]

I like her,and her singing.I heard it as a kid,but this is great.

[@RickDanner]

man the guitar solos was great

[@kn-qz7by]

I loved this song from the very first time I heard it. The intro notes totally bring me back to sweeping the floor of the Bronx supermarket I worked at as a teenager, which really happened and made me happy when it came on the store’s speakers one time before closing. Maria Muldaur aka Maria Grazia Delmonica D’Amato sounds as great as ever.

[@kn-qz7by]

I speculated that Maria was from the South but she’s a NYC gal. To my ears her singing has a Tony Bennett vibe and that’s a great compliment in my opinion!

[@diamonddbw]

You still got it girl. We love ya'

[@Kellykleinman1]

Nice execution on the guitar solo, best of any live version so far, very solid band!

[@6wireheaven]

Pro's no doubt

[@charlenekerce2834]

Very nice beautiful voice awesome range love the older songs

[@TheGuitarrmann]

The band sounds very good.

[@hawkrider88]

Thanks for posting, always loved her.

[@dennismurillodennis3079]

Still sounds great

[@macelarm50]

great love her takes me back to a great time in my life

[@mentalistsa]

Good times. Att Bell loved this song and played it on his late night radio program.

[@captnsquid8151]

great song and great musicians, Go Maria GO!!!

[@Carryon392]

I'm 56 too, but I think she was gorgeous 30 years ago. I was too for that matter. :)

[@jebro]

still appreciate her and her great music! love her!

[@pantyhse]

GOD I lover her in the 70's she still great got to love the 70's and 80's baby!

[@mgabatang90s47]

Midnight at the oasis.....I like this music smooth and relaxed to my ear.wow music

[@conniegarrett6399]

Still love this

[@y2k7-9-11]

........ YOU ARE STILL SIZZLING AND I AM STILL LISTENING......SINCE 1962.

[@don4476]

Absolutely delightful.

[@Louie914]

Sing Maria...my favorite classic.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Nice version, superb band, and the two guitar players did a fantastic job - not an easy piece to pull off live!

[@lusoverse8710]

Just in case anyone's forgotten or doesn't know, Amos Garret was the guitar guy on the original MATO single. It's one of those guitar solos that's appreciated (at least by guitarists) as one of the greats. He's still around; check him out.

[@Deliquescentinsight]

Amos is a unique player - very distinctive style, in a world of Zakk Wylde clones he is a musician!

[@dasteelerfan1]

what a great tune and awesome musicians playing it thanks for posting it

[@maxxz7]

Maria, Maria time fucking gets us all. For those of you who are to young or don't remember go to her KZbin concert in the 70's on the Midnight Special singing Midnight at the Oasis. Every single guy crushed on her big time she was the hottest hippie chick ever............................

[@FleetwoodMackz]

Hi Lynn! Yes, there is life 40 years after the fact. I LOVE Maria Muldaur, "Midnight at the Oasis" came out the year I graduated from high school, I am actually BETTER 40 years later as a successful Rolls Royce dealer with many websites AND I also freelance for several auto magazines. You would be surprised. I AM the same person I was 40 years ago, only better! Next question.......?

[@gerardochileno]

Maria maravillosa.

[@lclaughton]

You could tell the look on her face when that big C chord resolved at the end. She originally did this in the key of Eb I believe. She could hit the higher notes but she sounds incredible and what an amazing ear she has..We are a huge fans of hers. Too bad the camera did not get at least one good shot of that great piano player. Hey after all, the whole foundation of the song was built of those great piano chords...

[@cjm8172]

Cherish it my friends

[@billsav57]

Maria does a lot of blues and jazz-oriented singing now, so her voice has changed both due to time and the type of singing she does. I’d be shocked if she sang this song the way she did 45 years ago.

[@valuecalc]

billsav57 , simply impossible. Time just went by, but we can still like her performances.

[@FrisellFan01]

the guy playing the strat .....played for Charles Brown for years.....I just can't think of his name......great player!

[@kayradillon6856]

Danny Caron. Fantastic player.

[@martintorrez999]

I remember this song first coming out and I just couldn't wait to find love which I never did find, now 63 years old!

[@jonathannieto3111]

!Demasiado bella¡

[@brichardsfourty]

I still love Maria Muldaur midnight at the oasis I’ll send my camel to bed lol and will kick up a little dust

[@tinaandrews473]

Go head Maria rock it out! I am 50 something and my voice is gone to BRAVO to you!

[@anthonytaylor7928]

Patty LaBelle and Gladys knight still have voices in their 70s I feel sorry for u

[@tinaandrews473]

@@anthonytaylor7928 Hey Anthony since then I have joined a live band! The voice is back with a few lessons!

[@jeffcraven7376]

We can't be young forever bikenutter1. If you're old enough, do you remember seeing her on tv doing this tune in '74? Wish I could find that vid on You Tube, bet you'd watch it atleast a dozen times.

[@debbieharriman4048]

Fuck you she's the same person

[@GDCTT]

No kidding about the vocals going with age. If anyone doesn't believe that check out Meatloaf's performance at a Mitt Romney event. But back in the day He was the king. I like his acting also.

[@thejazzman210]

I'm not going to trash Maria. "Midnight at the Oasis" is one of my all time favorite songs, and it always will be. When this is your only major hit and you have to sing it as many times as she's had to, you'd mail it in from time to time too. Wasn't her best rendition, but she's still awesome.

[@leoray1234]

I really enjoyed her delivery here. But yes, it’s her main hit.

[@TimmyBobinson]

Shame her voice has gone, but big respect still...

[@beachdog67]

Musican credits, please?

[@mophead5375]

This is not a "version", it is a live performance.

[@FleetwoodMackz]

I realize it is "a live show" I should have said that I prefer the 1974 studio version best. Her live performance you showcased makes her sound like she was howling at the moon. And YES, a guy can be master at his craft 40 years later, this goes out to the person that singled out my comment. I have several sites and I also buy and sell ultra luxury automobiles such as the Rolls Royce and Aston Martin brands to name two. I also freelance for 3 magazines 40 years later......next question?

[@mellotronn]

You're probably a bum living in your mom's basement since you can never name any of those "several websites".

[@gypsyfirefly8009]

We’re here for Maria however she shows up sounding. That’s what a true lifelong MM fan is about. Show a little respect eh!

[@RickyLeighJr]

Ok, Voice isn’t what it used to be but she adds to the problem big time with her awkward delivery. Will always enjoy memories of her youth and this sweet song!

[@alisterfolson]

That's good. Maybe she partied a lot back then, or didn't take care of her voice like she could've. Or maybe she stopped singing and just lived for a number of years. At any rate, it's nice to see her again.

[@briancdn]

This is three half steps lower than the original key. It too bad that she can't sing it in the original key because it sounds great in the key of Eb.

[@mudhens4ever]

And yet her voice sounds string and in good form in the other songs from this concert.

[@FullFrameFotography]

Thank goodness the band was excellent. She clearly has had better days.

[@paulbell4062]

Every time I hear this song I imagine im a sheik in a harem surrounded by beautiful women 😍, then I awake from my daydream. Oh well

[@alisterfolson]

I get what your saying, but are you the same person you were 40 years ago? Did'nt think so

[@mrliburd8823]

Mmmmmnnnn

[@FleetwoodMackz]

EEK! I prefer the 1974 version.......did she do this from the resthome?

[@valuecalc]

FleetwoodMackz , there comes a time when a star should just retire.

[@rcagianese]

Needs a fat jazz guitar otherwise Great!!!

[@scotty3034]

This is down a full step from the original.

[@FullFrameFotography]

Sadly, in the music world, vocals are always the first thing to go as the years begin to take over the body. A lot of musicians actually improve with time but the years are less kind to vocal chords. No, I'm not the same person I was 40 years ago. Like a good musician, I have actually improved as a photographer over the years and continue to evolve and adapt my style and talent to the market.

Generosity of the late intermediate school principal to his fourth daughter, my sister Cynthia's preteens come to an end on a birthday gift horse. 'Dancer' paired with 'Prancer' by Maria (within the lyrics of this musical piece). Why do you have that particular personality trait only equestrians have?🐴

[@hockeybp27]

could she sing it any slower?

[@ronaldwilliams6431]

She's definitely no Sade.. .😂😂😂
