Patti LuPone Nantucket Concert

[@SweatyOracle]

The power and vulnerability in her performance of As If We Never Said Goodbye made me straight up cry.

[@Samarastube]

Wow, Patti has many "primes" but this is a real treat. Thank you!

[@dougie0109]

No better singer than her in the nineties. Never a better interpretress of Sunset Boulevard. That short haircut is HOTTTTTT!!!!!!

[@jlernerz]

Decades ago, I could"ve moved to Nantucket,years ago, I had a front row seat at Patti"s Toledo concert and could have met her,but did not. Tonight, I had a great seat, in my bedrm,and loved the concert. If it were possible, I'd send her bouquets of love

[@allancuseo7431]

She is so fabulous. I would have loved to have seen it live - from the first row

[@tomcapelonga4386]

Flawless vocals throughout.

whomever recorded this should win a PULITZER.

[@ryandonovan9780]

Wow! Flawless....

[@gavinjohnson1730]

I've been waiting years for the entire concert to be posted. Thank you.

[@mhill1455]

Fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@julialovely767]

Do you have any other Patti LuPone concerts?? More uploads would be absolutely WONDERFUL!!

[@jools01]

1:17:04 what does the lady shout?? "you’re a great…..??" and what does patti say back?

[@chamayonnaise]

“you were great in london” is what i heard from that lady shouting

[@jools01]

@@chamayonnaiseah yes, that would make sense considering this was just after sunset. thank you very much.

[@chamayonnaise]

@ you’re welcome, wish i could figure out what patti said afterwards

[@jools01]

@@chamayonnaise from what i’ve gathered she said "i don’t wanna tell you my life story, but you know how hard it was to get up on stage again."

[@jenf7400]

Was this performance after a funeral? Patti seems (though dynamite as usual) overwhelmingly sad :(

[@mhill1455]

This was very shortly after LuPone's run ended in Sunset Boulevard. I think she said in her book that she required therapy and was on anti-depressants following this incident, so that might explain her sadness. I detected that very much too.

[@NickiraFierce]

This was also an AIDS benefit. Many Broadway performers died from the disease in the 80s, and in this video she names some of the people she knew who passed away. That plus the Sunset debacle probably made for a very emotionally charged evening

[@rshdbrwn]

What was the first song does anyone know??

[@wefond]

From Call Me Madam. Originly sung by Ethel Merman. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4GvgoVmoKd_rLc

[@scswp6945]

‘The Hostess with the Mostes’’ by Irving Berlin. It’s from the musical ‘Call Me Madam’.

[@ellenepstein9588]

Camera work has been better. When was this concert?

[@dantean]

Let's see your version.

[@swizza]

Wonder why she took Argentina up 1/2 step to D?

[@fergusmurray1828]

Patti always had trouble with the Evita score, saying it never sat in a good place in her voice, so perhaps she moved the song to a more convenient key for her in an attempt to make it easier in an already vocally demanding concert.

[@benrimalower]

Uh, that’s the original key. Not sure what you’re comparing it to.

[@chaloynclan3087]

She destroys "I'm a stranger here myself" that song is for Teresa Stratas, no doubt.

[@chaloynclan3087]

My God what happens with "Don't cry for me Argentina"????? It is supposed that after creating the role in Broadway she should know to sing it perfectly

[@JoaoMelo9]

She does to me, and isn’t all a question of taste? You didn’t like it, I loved it, why the negativity? It was obviously a very emotional performance, and as an actress, she didn’t “sing” it, she acted it through song. If you want someone to sing it, get a singer, not an actor/actress.

[@haydenanderson8804]

@@JoaoMelo9 You do know she is a singer as well, right?

[@vxhorusxv]

You're definitely not watching the same performance I am. Is it note-for-note to the score? No. When you see a performer ripping their heart out on stage like that and selling the living hell out of the song, is it exactly what it should be? Yes. That performance was fantastic.

[@JoaoMelo9]

Hayden Anderson She does define herself as an "actor who sings", so I would think that's her approach to any song.

[@bigred8432]

IT'S A INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE ! What is wrong with you Chalo?!

[@chaloynclan3087]

My God! She destroys literally "Surabaya-Johnny" what happens in this concert? She is good but in this concert she is terrible!

[@geminikid1617]

Why leave so many hateful comments to 1 of her best concerts? You’re rly delusional

[@chaloynclan3087]

@@geminikid1617 perhaps because I really love her? I saw her in EVITA, November 1979. When she wants she can sing. It is great that she is not only a singer, but an actress, a wonderful one. But you cannot "speak" every song. A "parlando" when well dosified, is magnificent. A whole show in the mood of "parlando" in the mood of "clown" can destroy the show. She is so great as to know how to use the tools performing art requires. She can act, she can sing, she can be witty o display a terribly sorrow. C'mon Patty, in this show you're extremely accomodated in the witty & "parlando" mood. We expect from you to invoque Comedy and Tragedy, Song & Act, Theatre but also Music. We expect from you to born and die on stage every night. You are not a normal person, you are a priestess in the Temple of Theatre. And you have to do that. If not, you don't shake or soul. We attend your nightly rite to come back shocked, and think. And learn things, discover things deep inside our souls. You have to open that flask and make that alchemy. If not....
