I was wondering how he manages to sing the high "oh" part of the last part but he really made it! Absolutely one of the very best performance I have seen!

The song is about heartbreak and has amazing lyrics and a fabulous orchestral accompaniment. Richard Harris was multi-talented and his version is definitely the best. He was nominated for a Grammy award in 1969. Bravo to him and the wonderful writer, Jimmy Webb, who won the Grammy for best arrangement accompanying vocalist.

I love it. What a live performance. All the imperfections in the mix and even how he is off key here and there. Live music and live vocal. Gutsy and it sounds great. No three piece band here. Just to mic the room correctly is a challenge, let alone to orchestrate it and then the singer being able to hear himself as loud as the 100-piece band is. He can belt and hold a note for sure. He is amazing; in many ways his vocal is better here than the studio track -- surely more powerful at his peaks. This is one of the best truly live recordings I've heard on you tube.

@GuiitarBilly10 ай бұрын
The studio recording is brilliant and ultimately a studio creation with takes and punch ins (sometimes line by line). Richard was hearing the song for one of the first times and -with the help of producer/arrangers and perhaps the songwriter…working out his incredible performance. And recording it piece by piece. In this live performance, his job is to interpret the studio creation in one take, as he sees fit and as he can. Power is needed to hit some parts, parts that were sung softer and likely with multiple takes in the studio. As far as mic-ing the orchestra, this sounds pretty basic. No matter how many mics were deployed, there’s not much definition on the individual instruments. It could be primarily a couple of distant/ boundary mics on the full orchestra plus Richard’s vocal making the broadcast mix. Whatever it was, only the engineer knows for sure 😊. It sounds fine for what it is and that’s the only thing that counts. Orchestras play with some volume but often not as much as a basic loud rock band (of the 1980s or 90s time of this performance). Still, props to the monitors guys. Richard could obviously hold most notes, but the monitors helped.

I heard it for the first time in on an old a.m .radio in 1967. It is always fresh and alive.

I woke up today inexplicably thinking about this song and can still remember all the lyrics even though I was only in 5th grade when it first came out...my friends and I loved it so much at the time that we memorized every word. Richard Harris will forever be an iconic figure who symbolized everything charismatic! Where have all the sexy men like him gone?...look around now in 2023 and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone comparable to him. His acting in Camelot stole the show...and this musical performance was so powerful that it brought tears to my eyes. Richard Harris was a class act whose talent is sorely missed in today's dysfunctional society. Rest in peace Richard...and know that you are loved.

The range of the melody is perfect. He's able to let loose and nail that high note on "oh no....". And let's hear it yet again for Jimmy Webb who somehow wrote all these deep, evocative, layered songs in his early 20's. I won't ever know how he did it.

First time I heard this I was 15 and I couldn’t get my head around melting cakes in a park. What a song and what a voice! If only songs could be like this again!

I can't remember my phone number some days but I still know all the lyrics. We were obsessed with this song when it came out.
