Melanie live in the Netherlands 2022

[@RelOKeefe]

The saddest thing to lose a star , but more to lose a mum. Rip you beautiful soul, fly high , fly low wherever you go xxx

[@Sj27m]

The calendar for 1968 ( the year Melanie's first album came out) perfectly matches this year's calendar.

[@harryking917]

Really cool and I see that the coolness was passed on to your child there's a smile on my face and a tear in my eye God bless you Melanie rest in peace dear lady

[@harryking917]

Really something when she invited all the people up on the stage for candles in the rain the spirit still there girl and hopefully it will always be here

[@LoriKasprzak-kc7xc]

Steroid meds for cancer put weight on her, same as with Mary Travers, both remaining as beautiful as ever.

[@TerryGregory-ww6co]

The first time I heard Melanie was off my older brother's album he'd bought and I would play it over and over again. I was about nine years old and fifty plus years later, I never tire listening to her songs.RIP you beautiful soul. The angels must be in awe when they listen to you singing songs of love and peace...what a wonderful sight that must surely be.Your music lives on as you still do and always will in our hearts. Thanks for making the world a warmer and kinder place to be through your unselfish sharing of your life and art. Love you Melanie!!!

[@rashkehof2458]

I wish that all people would be so loving and beautiful and intelligent as Melanie... 💗 Rest in peace, dear Melanie

[@nancyrosemalone9856]

Loving Memories . Met her when she was the only one who showed and sang at the unfestival Festival at Powder Ridge Ski mini resort. I was in theatre costuming and wanted to make her a costume!Just loved her clothes along with her songwriting singing and was hoping to see her after my 4 year mourning from.my grief! Cannot imagine losing your mother!😢 Prayers!🎉😂😂 4 again

[@michaelrickard9890]

I'm so sorry to hear that she has passed on. What a performer, writer, singer and guitarist! A really rare talent. Unsung hero of the 60/70s, singing wonderfully in the 2020s, as a latter day Malvina Reynolds but Melanie is her own girl, that she is in this metaphysical world, where "you can't get there from here" she got there, licence or no licence. Unique lady. Great guitar playing from Beau her son. Just a fantastic farewell concert. Creative voice resonates so fully with no researched ambiguities. Lovely fresh songs which say it as it not so simply is. You sang for the unsung. You will be missed dear girl.

[@hamidmoradinik7884]

Rest in peace my dearest artist since I was 19years old till now that I’m 69and retired in a very far place from you.

[@DinahMajenty]

Candles in the rain. RIP Melanie 😢

[@user-qm7nw7vd5s]

“Can you take another new one?” I love how aware she is that people probably came for nostalgia, not aware she is still a creative artist, finding new expressions she wants to share. How beautiful is that, sharing the stage with her amazingly talented son.

[@MARTJE2222]

Love you Melanie, rest in peace ❤

[@richardsmith3129]

I grew up listening and loving Melanie. Such a unique and beautiful lady. Rest in peace sweet soul. ❤

[@dianehaile7028]

She was so beautiful. R.I.P Melanie .

[@HenryFrederick]

RIP Melanie! From Woodstock to the top of the charts with "Brand New Key."

[@MovieMakingMan]

I always loved Melanie. This song made me happy every time I heard it on the radio. What a wonderful gesture to invite the audience on stage to sing with her. I can’t sing but I would’ve loved to have been on stage to sing with her. Tears began flowing down my cheeks when I read the comments and learned she was gone. Little by little all the things in my life are going away. Thank you Melanie for all the wonderful moments you gave to me and millions of others ❤️.

[@philroberts7238]

To me, she represented the very best of American hippiedom and allowed many of us Europeans to view the USA in a far more favourable light than that presented by the "official" version.

[@treespirit2000]

Don't think there's any such thing as an "official" version; just a fleeting fiction. The hippies, taken as a whole, were an amazingly brave, creative tribe who pushed the many bogus boundaries of America of that day. Just a fantastic time.

[@theresapelham1918]

Melanie! You look like a friend of mine! Just a youngin I was seeing you at Carnegie...early 70"s. Brought you a bag of sunflower seeds and tied my silver bird ring to it and walked it up to you on stage! You were so kind to this groupie chick who adored you!!! Peace Mama...see you on the Good Red Road Sister

[@Amberszone]

Awww that's so sweet 🤗 Xxo

[@BillWilson-kd2jp]

She was a Beautiful People

[@pelqel9893]

[@fcoperez169]

From Canary Islands, Spain. Thank you for your special way of singing, being and touching hearts

[@annwaddell7321]

Melanie is a sweet reminder of the beauty and wonder of my teen years and beyond. I absolutely love her and appreciate her. The new music is relevant and lovely. Her personality and wisdom is very much present. I will miss you Melanie, but you definitely are very much present in my heart and life.

[@akgobears]

Woman embodied everything from the times.....So many of us grew up listening to here music....Loved the Songs Lay Down/Candles in the rain & the song Ring the Living Bell....RIP lady, hope you bring as much joy to heaven as you did to earth...

[@TWKOZAK]

A true character, a beautiful soul, and an artist who brought a smile to your face and joy into your heart. Bless you, Melanie. May Heaven be as good to you as you were to us fans.

[@dalewrightson9980]

I remember many happy times of sitting and listening to Melanie's records in my teen years. Always loved her beautiful voice. RIP dear soul.

[@horstwei7113]

Schoene Erinnerungen werden wach.

[@artisancans3954]

Sweet lady.. RIP... Thank you for your music........

[@ToddDouglasFox]

As an expert, I would have loved to have guided her through her health issues. I will always hear you playing Melanie. Thank you Beau and Melanie for this last concert which was the “first” of her farewell tour. Beautiful soul, there is more for us all, including you - part of the beautiful people who have graced this world.

[@Sj27m]

What were her health problems?

[@ToddDouglasFox]

The specific information has not been released to the public. We can all see from this concert a number of issues but everything would be conjecture even though much of it is pretty self evident. Bless her.

[@Sj27m]

Her first album was made in 1968 and 2024's calendar matches 1968's day for day.

[@simoneu.nathaus7292]

I have read that it was cancer...wether or not actually true,I dare not say​@@Sj27m

[@bertanelson8062]

Delighted she kept the spirit of our generation of peace, love & transcendence throughout her life. Loved her comments on the "lockdown" and, yes, in our time the Who was just a rock group. Thank you for recording this marvelous experience. RIP Melanie.

[@rowanbeton9947]

Melanie, your music was a wonderful part of the soundtrack to my adolescence. Thankyou so much. May you rest in peace and love. ❤️🎼💚🎼

[@jamesmanon3000]

Thank you Melanie.Look What They've Done To My Song Ma and Lay Down Candles in the Rain have always been my favorites since the seventies.

[@susanalger8413]

What a Beautiful Soul....singing and performing her entire life....Beau has been so much help to her after Peter Passed....he himself....has his moms love of music....my heart goes out to her entire family the world has loss a lovely Soul...

[@philb9846]

Nicely put, a lovely tribute. I was thinking the same about Beau. Hope the memories and the love given by Melanie and returned by so many around the world, will be of comfort to him and the family. RIP x

[@bruceholroyd7063]

Thank you, Melanie and Beau Jarred! Your combined talent made a memorable concert even more special! Love from the heart forever!

Rest in peace beautiful lady.❤❤

[@alwaysfourfun1671]

Always loved her music. Great lyrics, great music, great singer, great stage presence. Only yesterday, I was shocked to learn that she passed away on 23rd January 2024. Melanie, no stardom, but a star nevertheless. She contributed to the beauty of the world. Dear Melanie, May she rest in peace.

[@talula54]

Melanie, I adored you, you played in a venue in Providence, I was so memorized that I walked up to the stage, you bent down and I gave you my love beads, they were a huge thing back then and the only peice or jewelry I owned. I will never forget that concert and that moment, you were the most gracious beautiful women I had ever seen and as a young girl I wanted to be just like you, my path took a different turn but to this day at 68 years old I tell that story often, Rest peacefully, I will never forget that day❤

[@cindyhorn5786]

You two are my favorite creative singers. Music geniuses.

[@sheilaewall4426]

[@mariehallmark6977]

The new songs are FANTASTIC! I love Melanie's honesty. What a REALLY COOL PERSON. Her son Beau is really really cool too. Took after his mother a lot... lucky him.

[@sososo2445]

Yes, her new songs are great and just as good as her standards. I'm so sorry I never saw her perform in concert.

[@medricfaulkner2280]

What a beautiful gift to be able to see this. May flights of angels sing her to her rest.

[@gcs6330]

A key piece of the puzzle of my teenage years that i will always appreciate & never forget.

[@cindyhorn5786]

Beautiful words/lyrics; beautiful arrangements. I can’t give enough praise!

[@stephaniemcguire]

❤💯This lady's music is timeless, and what a talented son she has!!!!

[@dchai1151]

I've been listening to Melanie's music since my university day. I still remember vividly her concert at the Royal albert Hall in the early 70's when I was a graduate student at the London School of Economics. So sad to learn of the sad news that she has passed on. RIP Melanie. Your music will always remain a part of my life.

[@beatricelezardo7659]

Beautiful People and I Donnt Eat Animals were my favorit songs in the beautiful past. 🙏🥰

[@jokesLedoke]

she was a big part of my life when I was a teenager, my first concert was hers in Amsterdam, I wished I could again

Farewell beautiful lady, and thank you for the music..❤❣

[@su....]

[@ConfusedGoldfish-du7pq]

She was so much more than just Brand New key

[@alberta1st]

She laid it all down RIP

[@danielorlando8172]

Just like going to your favorite aunt's house for dinner. Melanie made us all feel like we were at home. She always said, let's all be alone TOGETHER 😊

[@berniepoff3911]

Well, I really want to say that I love your story that you’re very intellectual in your storytelling and it draws you in and then you have the music to back it up with. That’s what I’m saying you guys are the most incredible band musicians that I have heard in a long time. Thank you.

[@1111suze]

What a great Melanie concert! I want to hear her latest songs over again. what a gift from the beyond. Her son Beau is extraordinary too.

[@diannacashion2047]

I love her so much….I’ll miss her forever and ever….💔💖💜☮️💟☮️

[@bronyraur100]

Oh dankjewel voor deze upload, geweldig mooi en ontroerend. Rust zacht, Melanie ❤

[@MrRocketguitar]

Lovely music lovely lady

[@jeffkaufman9875]

Wow: What a refreshing SURPRISE to hear how good Melanie still sounded, how powerfully her new material struck me, and that she apparently rejected much of the PC-straight jacket nonsense that’s become all-too-prevalent in the ensuing years since her magnificent talent made her a household name!..

[@sososo2445]

Yes, she even threw in a "you will own nothing and be happy" at the end of that Aloha Lucifer song. Good on you Melanie!

[@robschultz4124]

Rest in Peace and Justice!!!

[@Amberszone]

SUCH a sweet SWEET soul, for her children I feel most sad, for their loss then for all of us fans. My cousin when I was 3 would say it was her (melody) that sang the song Brand New Key & I was 3 so on the radio after the song played the dj would say AND THAT was Melanie & I couldn't differentiate that it wasn't my 14 year old cousin 😂 I believed that for a while until I found my mothers records & realized they were in fact two separate ladies. Some Say I Got Devil was the B side I think & Candles in the Rain & Look what they done to my song ma...I played the HELL out of those records. I wish I'd have been able to see her live 😔 but nonetheless I've been an LEGIT fan since I was 3!! Xxo

[@carollucci]

She was amazing…and Beau was such a wonderful son to her, so devoted.

[@greenie75]

Enjoyed watching this lovely concert - thank you for this final performance. That altercation in the hotel was ridiculous. The hotel manager is still in the same role today. Why were those police in Arnhem so heavy handed?

[@dominickgiallombardo2921]

Rip Melanie! Grew up listening to some of your songs. Always like them.😢❤

[@robertlennon9531]

Lucky audience..RIP😢

[@wesedwards1128]

Lay Down was my anthem in college during the Vietnam War and all the cultural uprisings - which gave me hope and inspiration. I've carried it on. Thank you Melanie. We miss you so much!

[@Valery5852]

Она была прекрасной певицей, сочинительницей баллад и песен, искренней, жизнерадостной, веселой! Вечная память!
