[@pauljoseph8338]

The sound engineer was a genius on these early F&F videos. How could he make a live parking lot performance sound like a perfect studio session???

[@lynwessel2471]

Everyone has their own channel like studio recording, recorded directly off the board. Tim would go thru the microphone tracks and mute them when not in use to eliminate most of the extraneous noise.

[@jackiehale3730]

This is absolutely beautiful... Reminds me of a better America...

[@johnbrunelle672]

Keith Whitley introduced this song to me, many years ago. Alison Krauss ensured me that there would be nobody else that could top the way she performed it, and I've listened many different artists try it. Then this video popped up in my suggestions, and I was completely blown away. Maggie takes it to yet another level, and it was this song that pulled me into the F&F rabbit hole. Wow. Thank you Tim for bringing this beautiful music to the world....

[@marcbernstein6490]

Me too! Big fan of Alison and that song, this is even better, love this group!

[@jimbrown9817]

John, I agree. I never thought that Keith's recording could be bettered. Alison's was different, with those subtle Union Station touches, and just as listenable. I give credit to the song and its writers for creating a masterpiece. To do this good a job live and outside is just such a pleasure to witness. F+F are in a class by themselves.

[@davidvogel6359]

On one of the videos Tim says he had thought about naming the band ear candy because of the harmony between Sammie and Maggie.

[@cliffwan4470]

Yes this is a wonderful performance. But Alison Krause is a different league.

[@terryswails1191]

This girl beats Allisons version hands down. Somebody better sign this talent.

[@richardnewsom1385]

Keith Whitley may have had one of the purest country voices in the history of country music. An Elliott County KY boy who left this world way to soon. He would be proud of this harmonious rendition of one of his greatest songs.

[@haze61151]

As one who played with Keith for 9 years,,I give my thumbs up to this great rendition,,often imitated but never duplicated,,Thank you for doing justice to the song..I'm very impressed not only with the vocalist,,but the band also..

[@misryluvsco8169]

If I could time travel, I’d go back and be there to listen to this performance. Videos like this capture that one moment in time. They can’t be duplicated. People who were there, had no realization of how lucky they were, to witness this moment. The innocence, the purity… It all just works. Even 10 years later. It’s timeless. 😊👍❤️

[@IamJaneS]

I absolutely agree totally. Sadly, I'm in Australia, so would never have the honour of seeing them perform live like this. I would have loved to be there that day. What an epic performance.

[@jankopiano577]

Some of the people in the audience probably are time travelers...😄

[@SuperRickflick]

Agreed. Sometimes wonderful events/performances pass by without much notice. Then we look back, as here, and find a new appreciation. It's a bit like a great painter - Van Gogh for example, who were not fully appreciated at the time but as we look back, we see that these are true gems of performance. Yes, I wish I'd been there. But nice that the recordings are still available.

[@frifitz]

You are so right! You are absolutely right! I felt the very same feeling when I first saw this video. We are soul partners. I can't stop thinking about how much I would have loved to have been there. But... we have this video, and I love it.

You folks are FANTASTIC, I'm a singer who went after his dream and travelled from Scotland to Nashville (1974) thinking I had it and folks wanted to hear it? We went around The Opry and the Opryland on the Sunday where I saw 16 year old kids with more talent in their little finger than I had, LoL! ...... I went home, respectfull of my craft and spent the rest of my life happy that I could still make money from my singing and I didn't need to pursue my dream, I just lived it "One Day at A Time" God Bless you all and Thanks for the Music!

I am a sound tech so I've heard a lot of music. Ask anyone I know and they'll tell you I rip modern music to shreds. This is the single most impressive recording I've heard in my life.

Thank you for making this recording!

We don't hear much of what happened between songs.

I have been a huge fan of Alison Krauss for 25 years. I believe this is Maggie singing, she has many of the same qualities in her voice, clarity, purity, and honesty in the way she presents the song. Definitely qualities that will carry her, and hopefully the band for many years to come. Great work by everyone.

Yup, Maggie singing lead here. Lots more Maggie on this channel, including some brilliant leads in the past few months. For instance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnKTh59mnNeYbLc and kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnndgISHaJeJqdk Enjoy!

Joe Boxter LOL I got into a feud with a guy about this on a different song. Mentioned they were equal and maybe better in some cases than Union Station and he went ballistic on me. I am also a big fan of Allison but since finding this group I have a hard time staying away. I am torn between Sam and Maggie. I lean towards Sam but love them both.

[@johnsonjessgaming288]

[@danf8972]

No doubt one of Maggie`s best works. Going back to my Country days 20 years ago, I always thought the line "old Mr. Webster could never define, what`s being said between your heart and mine", was a very clever song lyric, such a beautiful song. And I can`t forget Sammie and Tim backing up Maggie, and all the rest of the Fossils, another job well done !!
