Natalie Merchant "Let It Be" Washington, DC 12-6-17

[@ludwigdietsch]

One of the best versions of that song, I sang it too with my band 50 years ago....Greatings from East Germany..

[@maryweddle4111]

She is the most talented artist of all time. I cry most times she sings

[@kipohara5992]

Yes! She is amazing!!!!

[@peterh8253]

Absolutely 💯 Tears of joy and happiness. She's also an artist I love listening to in my melancholic moments.

[@kevinryan7148]

True That!!

[@Izzy-to5tm]

The ladies to her left have no no clue they are in the presence of greatness

[@nextlayersecurity]

@@Izzy-to5tm hey - best wishes to you. likely these ladies are the left behind victims of gun violence and simply trying to keep their @#^#$ together... give them a little grace ...

[@outofstep6026]

Wow, I'm speechless. Natalie continues to amaze me. Her voice is transcendent.

[@Gkanary]

Her voice is like the finest of wines, as she ages her vocal performance, framed by her impeccable arrangements, get better and better. So , so underrated. She should have a shelf full of Grammy awards but they have never recognized her. It matters not because she is ours, yesterday, today & what is to come.

[@ACNuem]

So true

[@ACNuem]

This is the best Beatles cover version off All time - Natalie... ur voice in this is a dream! I bought each and every album of u in a record store and I luv every album I wish 2 have this on CD oder vinyl And also this: U were in cologne singing in a church... Ur own version of a poet by Francesco Di Assisi - I want this so bad

[@ACNuem]

Of a poem!

[@davideb8473]

This is amazing too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3-uqoeVf5x4m9k

[@alexbrown1864]

I've just found this woman.....and what a fantastic find.....and what a excellent tone of a voice so welcome to my music list Natalie...xxx

[@michaelvi2411]

Listen to Natlie's song "What's the matter here" 1987 was the original, her lyrics will bring you to tears.

[@robloxvids2233]

She's one of the best. Unique voice. Check out Annie Lennox/Eurythmics and Anne Wilson/Heart, too, if you aren't aware of them.

[@tampico63]

This made me cry. Beautiful.

[@stevenmoomey2115]

I’ve been a fan of Natalie Merchant, for along time. I’m pretty sure this is St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C. The Piano Player is the church’s music director. His name escapes me. I remember when the Pipe Organ was installed, back in the late 90’s. My company did the AC and Humidity Control Equipment installation to support the Organ. I did the start-up, service and maintenance on the equipment. I always though the Engineering was wrong and the cooling coil should have had split controls put on it. The Floor is what I question, the Church had a hydronic heated Stone Floor.

[@marksmith9023]

Perfect - never thought I would have the opportunity but had the privelage to see Natalie perform live in a small town in Yorkshire UK last year. One of THE most underrated female singers ever.

[@portcullis5622]

I went to the Hebden Bridge and Ilkley gigs. Two of the finest nights of my life!

[@jasonmiradoli8900]

Been a Natalie fan since In My Tribe, 10,000 Maniacs. The only thing more moving than her voice was the child in the red sweatshirt, lying on i assume his mother's lap, who popped up to hug her when she started crying. Thank you for sharing this beautiful song, and that beautiful connection.

[@jufulu7066]

Just below them, later on in performance, someone had to pull out a tissue. Very moving performance.

[@redskindan78]

Wow. Natalie Merchant singing right into our souls.

[@sallyscalici50]

Crying a bucket here. Really missing Ringo to come in too, at his spot. This is what artists and musicians are for. To speak for our hearts when we can find no words.

Her voice is always running in the background of my mind.

[@KristaSophia333]

Angel of my life

[@luzcapcha7678]

I just cried her voice is so genuine and uplifting thank you

[@carjam49]

She covered Nowhere Man years ago and it was wondrous. This is the same or even better.

[@mikegarrison1095]

I have been lucky enough to see Natalie twice in my life and it truly was amazing. There is no voice on earth like her. She has the ability to make you feel happy and sad but you are comforted in her voice. Thank you for this amazing video. I want to say to all the victims of gun violence and there families my heart goes out to you all.

[@strangeday2]

I was introduced to the 10000 Maniacs near their end by a friend. I am thankful to him for the introduction. I have been a rabid Natalie Merchant fan since. I’ve only seen her once (Sanger, New Orleans, 4th row). She was awesome then and remains so now.

[@westcoastwally1992]

Giving Natalie a run for her passion…the piano player. Well done, sir.

[@chrisgleason1344]

I would never believe that from the time she was unknown to the height of her fame to whatever incarnation of her career now exists, Natalie would have reacted or performed any differently aka from her heart.

[@johndistaso6353]

chris gleason Absolutely spot on. God bless her.

[@njgop1572]

Amen. I love her so much. I only saw her in concert once, but it was magnificent.

[@georgegeysen6499]

Wow ... Natalie is sublime, as always, but nice light touch on the keys. I wish I knew what they were commemorating.

[@Duski67]

My favorite of all time, Natalie Merchant! Thank you for the music.

[@johndistaso6353]

Mine too. All time…

[@jeffturner9952]

a voice i could listen hear everyday for the rest of my life🙂

[@bionsjazznblues]

Natalie's has the most powerful 'soft and quiet voice'. When I first heard The Cowboy Junkies I was enthralled and captivated. They quickly became my favorite female group.

[@ocgolfboy]

You’re thinking of Margo Timmins who fronted the Cowboy Junkies. Natalie fronted 10,000 Maniacs. Both have incredible voices.

[@bionsjazznblues]

Thanks Steve. I always loved the Cowboy Junkies and many covers they did, like Lou Reeds' Pale Blue Eyes. Off the subject here... but there is a male Chinese (yes CHINESE!) performer that is beyond incredible. Check out Hua Chenyu.@@ocgolfboy

[@jaycompany4886]

[@westcoastwally1992]

2:57 for classic Natalie and her powerful voice.

[@beavisbonce]

West Coast Wally first album I bought as I started college was in my tribe. 30 years later I still recall that voice. It’s not here.

[@westcoastwally1992]

"Classic Natalie"...NOT her voice from 30 years ago.

[@westcoastwally1992]

beavisbonce: You will probably look the same in 30 years as you do now...SMH.

[@beavisbonce]

West Coast Wally I didn’t mention looks. I commented on her voice. I’m not a singer and it’s not my profession. Be original in your comebacks at least. Smh

[@westcoastwally1992]

Here's my point referencing your comment: OBVIOUSLY her voice has changed... as I'm sure your voice, looks, memory, etc. won't be the same over the course of 30 years either. Therefore, I see no use in your original comment. Hopefully you can enjoy the music or simply move on. Thanks.

[@BarefootInAK]

I needed this today ..... thankful

[@idicula1979]

Let it all be all the fallen and all the doom, let it be all to human, let there be growth and a mighty transformation, we find the light in darkness. Let it be, and let us not wish different but to learn from our fallen moments so like natures unending convection learn to rise up again.

[@Mankenif]

I never completely understood what Paul McCartney was trying to say in this song, until I heard this version at this time. Let It Be Natalie

[@pinehawk9600]

Paul had a dream he saw his dead mother.. and she said LET IT BE

[@petera9374]

He dreamed this song. His mother Mary was telling him to just let it be. He woke up and didn’t know it was his song.

[@pauldonnelly910]

I was there. Thank you, Natalie.

"victims of gun violence" smh just another way for folks to deflect. Just like "hate crime", etc. Instead of looking at the core of the problem...people with problems that someone failed to help/stop/enabled.
