She is so amazing. Her voice takes you to such a beautiful place. I absolutely think she is the best female vocalist ever. She's so real and earthy. My wish is to see her in person somewhere.

[@keithbate9405]

She's great but her inspiration growing up was the late great Sandy Denny (Fairpoint Convention) who is still my personal favourite

[@bryanhodges3005]

one of the few famous people I wish I was friends with. You just know she would be the most interesting neighbor on the block.

Fantastic. I was lucky enough to see 10KM and Natalie solo twice. Incredible talent

[@jomago1]

Flawless is the right word for it. Her U.K. fans are in for a treat this summer as she tours there; I saw her in Chicago last July for the first time, and it was the best concert I've ever attended. This song in particular was one of my favorites from that performance. Thank you!

Wish I was at there! I saw Natalie years ago shortly after 10KM. It was one of her first concert tours. At the time she was starting out on her own and sang no 10kM songs. I was disappointed! Although the songs were nice they were boring and I almost fell asleep. She has really changed her shows and is more interactive with the audience which is more entertaining. Always loved her unique singing voice.

[@johndeangelo4465]

Love this arrangement! Love it when she sings 10KM songs.

Can never understand a word she is saying, but a beautiful voice..great tone.

[@garyconner6151]

Lord thank you.we still have natalie.time is moving on.and her voice is a great part of my life on this Earth.

[@keithbate9405]

Excellent live performance from one of my Three favourite vocalists . The other being the late great Sandy Dennys ( who I know Natalie loved too and was a huge early influence on her ) , and from a different genre of music Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance . ps that power performance at the end is pretty unique in my experience of seeing her since 1983 with her original band and then her solo career

[@petebego4054]

Absolutely amazing. Saw Natalie in 2010 on the Leave Your Sleep tour in an outdoor amphitheatre but was in 2nd row so sound was pretty good. Ever since 10000 Maniacs I loved how her voice could be simultaneously soothing and intense, especially on songs like this one.

[@westcoastwally1992]

Yes. Agreed immensely!

[@jasminflowerz1710]

I love her unique voice and style.

[@portcullis5622]

Wonderful to hear the power of her voice at the end. I am also pleased that she is revisiting some of the great songs from her 10000 Maniacs days, and I hope that she adds some UK dates to support the new box set.

[@westcoastwally1992]

Agreed! She dug deep and nailed the ending! She didn't do this at other performances during this tour. Thanks for watching!

[@williamroberts4012]

Amazing Chills!

I was at the show at Tanglewood, MA on 7-2-17. Same power that night, too. What a tour that was. Saw the March show in Boston. Now just 3 weeks until Bethlehem, NH & 4 weeks until Woodstock, VT.

[@soniamartin2007]

Hello mum if you did watch this we didn't have 'yellow fever' lives but all other widowhood and fevers. Xx

[@francitron_art_3]

Awesome

[@johndistaso6353]

Fabulous

While the young folks were having their good times, some of the mothers were giving birth to their babes: three babies were born in our company that summer.

[@bigriver2000]

Nice build up from low register to belting Natalie. Come on gal, give us some new songs. With all the rich new music out there, surely something inspires you to find that new gold that only you can turn into a masterpiece or two.
