Nina Simone: Live in Antibes - July 24th, 1965 (Full Concert)

[@gerritdebruin1945]

I attended this concert, but I was unable to see much of it because my eyes were constantly full of tears. Two years later in 1967 I met Nina in Amsterdam. From that meeting a close friendship emerged that lasted until her death in 2003. The last words she spoke to me before she died were: Don't leave me Gerrit. To this day I miss her and her genius!

[@Rachelshmachel63]

OMG 😱 that’s amazing ‼️‼️‼️‼️I can’t believe you met the high priestess of SOUL☮️☮️❤️❤️

[@totaro-o4s]

Wat een prachtige herinneringen zult u hebben!

[@aristidestorres9637]

i watch Nina in Rio de Janeiro marvelous

[@NousLarigot]

Maintenant c'est toi qui fais couler les larmes. Je célèbre ta vie et je te remercie❤

[@marlonmacedo8198]

it's true, i was the piano.

[@Castoramadeguadalupe]

Her performance of i put a spell on you was just perfect you can tell that she was a real artist we miss the jazz that Nina played

[@iamthatartist]

She was such a brave and talented goddess... to sing these lyrics during this time...sharing our peoples horror stories all over the world. What and activist.

[@mpasebapaseba1394]

Brave AAAnnnd Talented GODDESS. You said it!

[@paulhoughton5164]

What a unique talent Nina was. She often looked like she would rather be somewhere else when she was playing or that she was enduring the intrusion of the audience but her voice and playing revealed a passion and intensity that was off the scale. Genius is an overused word but not in her case .

[@louisaruth]

first time sitting down to listen to this gem. strange fruit made my baby stop playing and start screaming and crying, it really seemed like Nina's performance spoke clearly to him and he had the appropriate reaction. i held him as we both cried through the song. he sure has been born into a strange and dangerous world

[@anthonyevilblack]

Nina Simone has been a part of my life since I was a child. I can remember when I first heard her voice and was immediately spellbound by what I was hearing. My grandmother used to play her records when I was little. She would say that Nina was an enigmatic artist who sang and played such beautiful music her voice expressed such deep emotions love sorrow and pain. It was like witnessing the energy of a bright star in the cosmos. I’m 50 years old her music has been in every stage of my life. I played her songs when I’m happy, when I sad and in moments where I need to find my foundation. Her songs are profoundly beautiful and every single song carries me through life as I listen and what I need the most in that moment of my life. On my 44th birthday I went to see my tattoo artist and friend and asked to put her name on my arm. I’ve read all about her life her music her triumphs her losses her activism her beliefs her hopes for the future her struggles and her constant battles with her inner demons. She was a trail blazer and ahead of her time. A poet, an artist, activist, a teacher, a mom, a revolutionary figure and most importantly a woman. As a man who has been influenced by only 5 women in my life are my grandmother, my mother, my wife and my baby daughter. And the incomparable Nina Simone.

[@juleskodjo3436]

It was as if you had lived with her in real life. Your testimony about her brings a tear to my eyes. I love her too

[@Enzo_Gamer_Kawaii_123]

perfeita.

[@RobertDunbar-m8n]

Black is the color of our skin the highest honor of our ancestral blend the only ?, we must ask, why is freedom made a lifelong task?

[@zovalentine7305]

Rest in power and peace 🙏 Nina Simone 21 February 1933 ~ 21 April 2003 ⚘

[@heleneramos889]

Some singers come to Earth to stay forever and just like Diamonds!

[@mpasebapaseba1394]

Aaaaahaaaay-MEN!

[@TheDreamingJune]

Nina was just endlessly captivating. I love how she always performed with utter conviction.

[@Gurci28]

She still continues to captivate everyone here! 55:55

[@Asegh]

She felt the music she was singing, emotionally and viscerally. That’s why you can feel it.

[@mihaivale7170]

She is tellin' a story, in words, but mostly in sounds. A true story, sad sometimes, joeyfull otheretimes, but sincere and open. That story touches your soul... Very few artists can do that!

[@pablopineda1673]

She was amazing ❤️

[@panthrwmn70]

I prepared to sing this song in my Catholic Schools Talent Show. I had no idea what Strange Fruit was, I'd heard & liked the song. My mom played Jazz (i.e.Count Basie, Ella, etc.), Classical , Popular (Mathis, Sinatra), R&R (James Brown, Elvis, etc) Country (Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, etc) Variety! It wasn't until my BFF's brother explained what lynching was that I understood why my singing was stopped & rejected. "Black bodies" didn't compute in my 12YO brain. Project2025 takes us back to Strange Fruit days!! VoteBlue2024!

[@nickbonomo6386]

absolutely 💙🇺🇸

[@SalimSivaad]

Whoa. You sang “Strange Fruit” without knowing what it was about? Yikes! So did they stop you before or during your performance?

[@johnhonsky6404]

A voice of wisdom and power.

[@tmking7483]

A real person_ I cant imagine what it was like for her to be in this world _ every minute on fire _ she stayed for her people_like Jesus she loved her family_ all people being abused belong to her family

[@QveenXsiren]

🌙🌙🌙

[@blakeaaron5698]

Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot to those of us who weren't around to see her during this time period.

[@OMEGA_DRONE]

Sure wish I could have known her when she was doing all of this! I simply love watching her.

[@lena.dymytrenko]

good 4 you

[@francoisepyrka2350]

Quel document précieux, ! Je le cherchais depuis son annonce il y a quelques jours! Des versions intimistes et complètement différentes de celles que nous avons entendues jusqu'à lors. Quel régal ! Quel caractère !😂 ❤❤❤

[@biljanaericazdejkovic2808]

Јединствена!!!❤

[@Tchitcho75]

Le caractère est primordial à ce niveau de technicité musical ! A la 29 ème minute elle demande un micro plus haut mais surtout qui soit tourné vers le bas ! C'est pour ça qu'elle demande par la suite aux musiciens de jouer moins fort car pour cette chanson elle a besoin que sa voix porte plus, or avec le micro qui n'est pas tourné vers le bas cela ne lui va pas ! Donc elle préfère de leur demander de jouer moins fort pour que sa voix soit en avant !

[@croiners4166]

This is just fantastic! She’s in her prime here ❤

[@100vermillion]

OMG what a genius she is

[@baglady2652]

This is rare gem

[@andrewcornforth5714]

I saw her twice in London. Her music has been a constant in my life since the late Sixties

[@karmenjazbec7743]

YEAH NINA YOU WERE THE BEST WE ALL MISS YOU REST IN PEACE YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON

[@billylindros3023]

Wonderful video. I had the pleasure of seeing Nina Simone at the Fillmore East in New York twice circa 1970. I always thought that her live performances were much better than her recordings from that era. I forgot what a wonderful pianist she was. Thanks for posting this!

[@Rachelshmachel63]

Omg 😱 I’m so jealous ( unfortunately I was 9 in 1970 so I came late to the party ( but I’ve been listening to miss Nina for over 25 yrs 🤷‍♀️☮️❤️

[@susanazamora3862]

​@@Rachelshmachel63 Hola Rachels. Sabes? Nunca es tarde... Pues cuando estás verdaderamente presente' y eres capaz de conmoverte y " escuchar " ... ES el mejor momento! Pues no hay otro! 🤍🙏💋 Saludos.

[@dave_goldcrest]

Honestly the way she kicked that last song out of the ball park could never be repeated,

[@theta4387]

what a Diamond, thank you for this so much. ... Simone-( forever alive her music!) sang the truth with power, compassion, grit. Seems like such a deep strength radiates from her whether or not it was a conscious offering to her Loves and Inspirations ...Still waters run deep

[@Misschiefjesus]

[@ZanahoriaBaila]

The time she takes with the phrasing and her expressions still give me chills whenever I listen to this version of Strange Fruit. The grief and the indignation come across as a punch

[@Tchitcho75]

La version de 'Au clair de la lune" est juste incroyable ! Quelle artiste talentueuse Nina était !

[@alexevans8119]

Nina, you have always blown me away. I have been a big fan since age 18 and bought lots of her records. I am nearly 40 now and she still blows me away. You can't pin her down to one genre. She makes every song her own.

[@jcarlossilpa1716]

Beautiful things were happening around me in 1965, but I didn't know about them because I was only a few months old!

[@danielguichard6464]

Thank you so much for this upload. Such beauty and pain. Viva Nina

[@Jean-Loup-Oudin]

❤

[@mrflappie6553]

I never liked Jazz until I heard Nina Simone. She's a beautiful soul. The first time I even learned she existed was through the animated (well, claymation) music video of 'My baby just cares for me' on MTV in the late 1980s. -Nina played not just music from the heart, but music from the deepest, darkest part of the soul. And this, for me, as a metal-head is Metal AF. Sometimes makes me wonder: What present-day musical performer will still be remembered 60 years from now...

[@jeffedwards823]

Thank you for posting this,amazing talent,timeless.
