a blonde, a brunette and a redhead walk onto a stage... no joke!

[@gayleburton4245]

Gotta love kd....dancing around on stage with her blue jeans, sandals and socks, singing her heart out for us, as always. She's as real as it gets!!!

[@sarahhammond3748]

KD Lang one of the best vocalist of our time

[@cdnpont]

Sometimes you just stumble across music that moves you at the right time. This was it.

[@kristinclarke986]

me too!!!

[@keithmiller8381]

Neko Case in a universe all her own; a very gifted human. Her voice is a wonderfully controlled blowtorch that stimulates my brain the right way.. Still have to tell myself this performance was live!

[@hekhopop]

The talent per squaremeter ratio is very high in this video.

[@bethpickles]

The world's most underappreciated group

[@williamtimmons1812]

They aren't a group. They only got together for this album.

[@lightronv]

It's about time the world learned what a gifted composer Laura Veirs is.

[@benbarclay5546]

And saw what a brilliant lovable woman she is. The lineup starts here...

[@Melissasmusicpage]

Totally- she’s my fave of these three great talents too 👍

[@robinbarwick8473]

Greens of June...that is all... ... (I need)

[@HijtePoMan]

Neko was the one who led me into this record, she's been a long favourite of mine. But I discovered Laura Veirs through this record, so happy for that, her storytelling is so wonderful. Love her songs on this record!

[@gayleburton4245]

Gotta love kd. She will harmonize in a second!! This was a brilliant choice. It has been such fun watching kd as a wild crazy country singer to the woman who can sing anything she wants today. I would love to hear her do an entire albumn/cd of blues.

[@brucevanderson7585]

Wow!! These girls can sing!!! And the switching back and forth from lead to harmony was really a delight to listen to. And this their first ever concert as Case/Lang/Veirs makes it even more impressive. Plus the band just perfect. Awesome from beginning to end...

[@a1m05tg0n3]

kd Lang blew me away with her vocals wow...

[@mlwsf]

Are you not familiar with the Ingenue record? Constant Craving is worth the price alone. All of her harmonies with herself. Some serious gymnastics.

[@BridgitMurphy]

I hope to God a new generation will hear and appreciate the beautiful voices and music 🎶 and band that i am in awe of heaven sent the world needs to hear this

[@miafrancis69]

17 years old here!! their music will be appreciated for years to come !

[@drdavidpeoples]

I am moved to tears as I listen to these amazing women harmonize and then feature their own styles through a collection of fabulous songs. Has KD Lang ever sounded this good? The musicians are top notch. If I weren't so emotional about the whole thing I am sure there are tremendous musical intricacies going on all along...georgeous performances!

[@benbarclay5546]

I shared a stage with k.d. when she was 17 and have followed her ever since, and I agree, I've never heard her pack more raw and delicate emotion into her lyrics...

[@JohnLnyc]

You rarely see this level of perfection--the performances, the song writing. The whole thing is very moving and so beautiful.

[@ritapitt2401]

TRUTH

[@davidhartzheim3630]

I couldn't agree with you more. Naysayers just don't get it. Their loss.

[@sanchitoboc9224]

Great job of putting this into words, because I certainly cannot, I kinda just listen and cry, and I'm a full grown man.

[@benbarclay5546]

I'm trying to track which ones wrote which songs. The lead singers? Did they write them for this project? And the overall sound blends them all into something very personal to the three together. What magic.

[@b.bailey8244]

Gorgeous! Laura Veirs is one of my favorite songwriters; I love seeing her get the recognition and respect from these two greats; killer band too. Loved "Greens of June" - so gorgeous it made me cry.

[@garethburnell615]

Me too, flood of tears

[@ScarletCamelia]

Love..... Honey & Smoke ~ it's like an older version of Ingenue.... a finer older version of the very exquisite kd lang.

[@davidhartzheim3630]

Fantastic. Heavenly harmonies. k.d. lang is in a class by herself. Incredible voice. The bench mark for modern music singing.

[@vickisimms2345]

I love this angelic voice that kd has. I've never heard a more beautiful voice with that tone that takes your breath away. I could listen to her sing constantly.

[@DovelightAstrology]

k.d.’s voice is heaven! ❤

[@willbayliss]

Good Lord . . . I didn't know that they had done this. Three amazing artists at the peak of their powers showing amazing humility and respect for each other. Personally, I'm most in awe of Neko Case - I've loved her work for most of my adult life. But they're all amazing here and the backing band too. Wow!

[@loserbiotch2]

they’re literally masters ahhh

[@sosodtikvica]

This is perfection in 52 minutes

[@pinkindigo]

unbelievable how perfect their voices fit together...

[@bonniejohnson2226]

I ran across K.D lang a month ago and cannot get enough of her.......what a voice, WOW!

[@jmmylggs]

This is real music with real instruments & real human beings. So rare in the cultural wasteland that is the current state of "music".

[@nickautry7332]

Love your thoughts

[@gayleburton4245]

Beautifully said. I agree. I think, just maybe there is a new generation discovering kd. I'm introducing everyday!

[@johnc5160]

With the greatest respect Moonwaves, you are talking balderdash, hogwash and piffle! I'm 64 and am constantly amazed by the volume and variety of good music being made by the young folks of today. Don't use top 40 pop or mainstream radio as a yardstick, look deeper...Have a splendid day!

[@arickmccance3972]

I love this performance. But your opinion🌬️

[@youbringlightin]

Music doesn't get much better than this. Top quality.

[@hardquality1407]

Very respectable, excellent musicians, beautiful voices, beautiful songs ... flawless concert. The rest matters little.

[@TheJaffster]

Love love love....such beautiful women singing with KD but she is a talent beyond.

[@jinxieb.777]

this is on a whole other level of Epicness....not matched often anymore.....Not sure why these aren't the songs being played on the top 40.....So much love for this whole album...

[@petermainwald6413]

Sheesh... how the hell does that voice come out of Neko so insanely smooth... it has texture you can feel ...

[@nickautry7332]

Amazing. Hope Evanston, IL happens this June

[@williamtimmons1812]

Crazy part....Neko has no training. All natural. She buries me and digs me out at the same time. Her voice takes me places I likely could never get to on my own. One of a kind, and difficult to describe. There's no genre for her, and she is for no genre. She's just....Neko. THAT is what I love about her.

[@fearandloathing668]

@@williamtimmons1812 her voice is preternatural. But, what makes her so amazing is the words she writes. One of the great musical storytellers, hands down.

[@MkeKen67]

@@fearandloathing668 - The lyrics for This Tornado Loves You are as amazing as her (and her fellow musical artists') performance of the song.

It was KDs best ever performance in my book. I have followed her for ever, and this was such a relaxed state with the best talented people around this event

What we need in todays world !

I have not been able to stop watching this. The entire album is perfection and being able to see them perform it live is a treat.

[@grantlong9279]

This album is brilliant and hearing it live is such a joy

[@MsLynngreen]

How have I not heard this before, only 20 minutes in and loving it. Getting a feeling of the female Doors. kd just gets better and better.

[@hamishreid8791]

What a great comparison! They DO have elements of The Doors, mostly in the amazing organ/piano compositions. But also the lyrics...very poetic.

[@corinneosko5713]

Wow the last song hung by kd is awesome upi met her yrs ago saw her at the alberts hall in83 she is wonderful

In the summer of 2016 I was on a business trip to US and was so fortunate to catch their live performance in Chicago. It was otherworldly experience...beautiful collaboration of three very unique souls and true artists. And hearing kd's voice live was and still is ineffable. So thankful for this🙏

[@inova11901]

Glad I stumbled into this. Three great artists. The band complements them well.

[@rosskolnikov]

That is some spectacular music. Wow!

[@matthewwinne]

Wow! Blue Fires is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The whole album is fantastic, as is this performance. Here's to hoping for another tour so I can experience this in person.

[@rosfrance2918]

Sublime music making. I've listened again and again- such a joy!

[@willbayliss]

I'm watching "Best Kept Secret" and listening to a song where K.D. Lang and Neko Case are on mere backing vocals. Astonishing, I couldn't love this more.

[@kathysahagian7478]

Remember the Trio album with Ronstadt, Harris and Pardon.

[@SDSsongs]

KD is such a soulful crooner=) So fun to watch her perform. And great to see the amalgamation of the talents of 3 superlative artists.

[@antoinettemeurer7572]

Honey and Smoke.. could have been written in the 50s, but probably by a man back then. I love it!

[@katm7939]

Very reminiscent of lang's Absolute Torch and Twang album.

[@cornnose1842]

These guys are national treasures

[@yuriteixeirabrasil]

One of my favourite concerts of all time. So much power and beauty on those songs and their performances. The album they released together is on my permanent playlist.

[@afreeman4302]

I am in love with all three.

[@sanchitoboc9224]

Yup.

[@JohnLnyc]

I saw the Brooklyn Prospect Park show. (beautiful place for a concert). It was one of the best live performances I have ever seen. The collective work from the recording was great and the performance by each of their own (dare I say "Hits") was equally incredible. Each of these women has her own unique talent/style which made the sum of the parts.....

[@timjmoran]

They are all so good here ...I just wonder what it would be like for Veirs and Case , as great as they are, to stand up there and hear the amazing voice of kd lang coming out of the monitors...this is a wonderful concert...thanks so much for posting.

[@nickautry7332]

I’m amazed by Laura Viers. The standout on this video for me.

[@charlesknowlton7198]

Beautiful stuff! That The Soggy Bottom Boys joined the band makes it even better!

[@JohnLnyc]

The tour band seen here was superb. (I am not sure who played on the recording). Barbara Gruska (Belle brigade) is a wonderfully talented percussionist--she's not just a drummer! Her work on "Down (I-5)" sung by Neko is incredible.

[@terrylunabautista]

Still one of my favorite collaborations. Fell in love with the album the first run through. Got to see them at the Greek in LA shortly after. Literally wept for the whole thing. And I’m not a weepy dude. My wife and I really bonded over this entire set of music and we had been together already for 6 years .

[@plantpants3746]

I just now discovered this! Awesome talent

[@bobburroughs6241]

It's really hard to make 3 solo artists a group, so kudos to them for making something beautiful and being able to perform it all.

[@ThePurpleBus]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love these women and the music they make! ❤️❤️❤️

[@vexillariaurelius5732]

I've watched and listened to this performance at least 40 times. I find there is a truth and authenticity in the songs and the musicianship that is stunning. I actually find this live version better than the album, Mahr's keyboards are haunting and enchanting and Gruska drumming on Down I-5 is spectacular. I love the beauty they've created.

[@translateslowly]

[@mscindylou6324]

Never mind I hear you. I should have waited till after the first song! I HEAR YOU. BEAUTIFUL.

[@cpreader8041]

Beautiful - here are three women, normally solo artists, who created this beautiful piece of art. This project could have ended up as a simple stringing together of 3 different kind of songs, which just happened to be published on the same album. But though each singer puts forth her style and voice while the other two voices weave their harmonies around the vocal lead, every piece of music shows their/the individual voice as well as their common goal to mesh these songs into a beautiful und beautifully balanced whole. And as always I am falling for and into the voice of K.D. Lang...

[@mark1952able]

JUST AMAZING! who's KIDDING WHO? THEY ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~

[@jamieevenson9426]

I have a feeling I’ll be listening over and over. So awesome to see 3 amazing artists working together.
