You won't understand the feeling unless you're southern or hurting

[@javiermaceira4406]

We are all hurting at some degree ;)

[@grantconversano8602]

That's right

[@frankmunich1881]

never delete it a masterpiece

[@1baud]

This song gets bigger and better after you lose your mother. I am 74 and still tear up.

[@bobfreengel]

I do too Justin.

[@MsJennabooh]

Robert Engel so little real talent these days . It is just cookie cutter till people can find someone to make money off of, and when there is someone of real talent they loose their integrity

[@jpanicacci]

It's Thanksgiving. My family will be singing this together on Thursday. Thanks Gil, Dave, and Punch Bros. By and by...

[@bobfreengel]

Jenna Deangelo That's so true!

[@loniduncan]

+Justin Credible That's exactly what I think, I was 53 when I lost my mom 4 yrs ago.

[@davidsmithee9087]

...geezus...something so ethereal about GIllian...so earthy about Dave...she the angel, he the mechanic...she untouchable, he the guy next door...these two people are so damned genuine...might ALL true loves love this way...and might EVERYONE make this kind of music in their own way...wow...

[@Mgt461]

Awesome singers, awesome instrumentalists, awesome song and and an awesome experience watching and listening to these folks putting their heart and soul into this music.

[@torbjrnlund903]

Awesome comment.

[@thejamesanddeanmachine4033]

Beautiful song, Gillians voice and Daves picking...what could be better

[@franciscog26062000]

I got here for a Intro to Religious Thought class assignment. This song touched the crap out of me. I'm adding this to my playlist. Gillian's voice is so beautiful.

[@TheUTVAdventureRider]

I wish Gillian, Dave, and Chris would do an album together.

[@5yearsout]

Voices harmonizing is about the best thing in the world, regardless of if it's country, Motown or random folks singing together. Just so happens that these folks are some of the best at doing it.

[@po4RP20361]

Simply incredible. When Gillian sang "Lord I hate to see her go" all I could think of is my own mother and fell to pieces. Not too many people can evoke such passion when they sing. Thanks for this upload Robert, sincerely.

[@clriley53]

Yes. What she said. I couldn’t say better. For all my loved ones that are gone

[@EddieDantes69]

This is by far the best version of this song.

[@vic5015]

I love how it's become tradition to close out the Country Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony every year by singing this.

[@ngzcaz]

Gillian Welch's voice inflections are second to none...

[@robinmatyjasek7390]

My goodness. I've listened to many, many versions of this song, done by many, many very able vocalists. Gillian is up there with the very best: Patsy Cline, Judith Durham, Alison Krauss...

[@Jamesdylandean]

This couple and guests are just magnificent. Proves that the wrong people are famous!

[@andrewprokopis9430]

agreed with Justin, lose your mother and this song becomes eternal.............

[@randymillage8415]

A great vehicle for Gillian Welch's lovely lowlands voice. No wonder she loves playing with Dave Rawlings so much. His guitar adds a wonderful third voice.

[@jennbamboo]

Oh yes, they are married so I guess that makes the ‘playing ‘ even better ! ❤

[@johnj.flanagan-hymnsoffaith]

Beautifully done. Thanks so much for sharing,

[@Rangis_Patch]

great sound

[@Jamesdylandean]

Somewhere in time there is a man who helped make this great singer/songwriter in a seventeen year old girl. His brief pleasure produced one of the true treasures of country music for our time and he undoubtedly never knew it. But, we do and so does Dave. Glad they found each other to thrill us with their beautiful and meaningful tones.

[@jeremyprager9836]

Yeah that’s amazing

[@jennbamboo]

Best version ever ❤ xx

[@Jamesdylandean]

I have read other comments here and I agree, Dave is in love with playing and in love with playing with Gillian. It just doesn't get any better than that!

[@richardcrossgrove9072]

The height of modern Appalachian sound, Mr. and Mrs. David Rawlings.

[@325aliceI]

Looks like they're just having a good time at some backwoods pickin' parlor! Now that is music!

[@waltkimballjr5133]

So many musicians play ,but watching Dave Rollins play ,you can see in his expressions the joy he still has for his craft .

[@davidsmithee9087]

...there is SO much going on in this vid...from Dave melting into his lead, to Chris staring his lasers, to the sound coming together...to Gillian...her presence...pulling it ALL together...she is, hands down, the most captivating stage personality...LOVE her...LOVE their music..

[@frankmunich1881]

thx very much love it

Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. I now have another favorite version of Will The Circle Be Unbroken. My other favorite version, or versions, are on The Gregg Allman Anthology. Such a beautiful song. It's beautiful and sad.

[@joea.9969]

Great song. I don't usually go for the cowboy type but the gent in the hat is a cutie.

[@drhermes1141]

When I was little, someone told me that no one would ever love me as steadfastly as my mother did.

[@laurennicole4641]

You can never really truly understand or feel just how true that is until she's gone.

[@cunard61]

Best performance of this song I think I've ever heard.

[@elwray3506]

At times I´m a bit afraid of Gillian. She looks at you and ...damn, that´s intense.

[@vanessasiler9555]

Love this version and just love the way Dave and Gillian look at each other in the beginning.

[@theretiringbarber]

Love this .

[@raskinblog]

Again they were really into this cover of a song that inspires you.

[@jeremyblack3394]

Don't need a dog & pony show if the talent has no need for it....stage, few instruments, & a hot mic will work just fine.

BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

[@philipcrawford777]

This has to be in the top 3 versions of this song, i am very impressed. I have added this to my favorites to this song.

[@Jamesdylandean]

Another shout out for this performance, the fine back line by the bass player is a treat in this rendition.

[@sarahpritchard3799]

I don't think there is a batter music match than these guys. Brilliant aa always 🇦🇺 Many blessings 🙏

[@primitivemusic1875]

I've had lots of death in my life and this reminds me of every one I've left behind. This is how they used to feel when you lost someone you loved. I remember the days of the hearse come rolling! It has come for my Dad at an early age as well as many others in my family. This makes me feel better to know there is a better home awaiting!

[@thetuesdaynext]

2:16 My two favorite instrumentalists going toe to toe . . . that is a glorious thing.

[@bobfreengel]

Yes it is...

[@pamberinehondo9447]

God I love Gillian ……….sorry Dave ❤️❤️

[@Jamesdylandean]

I love it when Dave gets into his performing Thrall, either playing or singing with Gillian. And the duet with the mandolin is awesome!!!

[@susunhawkes5354]

nor does age when it happen matter a lick...this song! this version deserves being played really loudl!!! thanks!

[@ZackHarold]

I love that Rawlings knows ending on the V chord without a tag makes the song sadder.

[@martinrheaume5393]

What is a tag? I didn't understand that.

[@richardlam3109]

@@martinrheaume5393 a tag is a musical term for repeating the last line of a song at the end, to make it feel like a conclusion. A "typical" way to end this song would be to tag the last line of the song by repeating it, and ending back on the I chord, the major chord that is the home base of the key. The V chord, the chord based on the 5th note of the scale, typically leads back to the I chord, and as listeners we expect the I chord to follow the V. By ending the whole song leaving the V chord hanging in the air, they literally don't "complete the circle", musically.

[@martinrheaume5393]

[@charlesmarcoe9621]

Absolute confluence of art and ultimate reality. The wellspring from which all good music flows and from which all bluegrass originates from undoubtedly. Any deviance might be classified in the same genre but incrementally strays from in technique but ultimately, and most importantly, from the soul from which it was intended. Bluegrass as well as root blues music strip away the bullshit that modern music suffocates under in a way that speaks to the heart and not the impulse of everyday life. Whether it be ephemeral worldly concerns or momentary fades it cuts to the heart which no one can deny regardless of era.

[@charlesmarcoe9621]

Well said. I know that this will sound disingenuous but I'm sorry for your loss.

I was standing by the window On one cold and cloudy day When I saw the hearse come rolling For to carry my mother away Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky I said to the undertaker Undertaker please drive slow For this lady you are carrying Lord, I hate to see her go Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Oh, I followed close behind her Tried to hold up and be brave But I could not hide my sorrow When they laid her in the grave Will the circle be unbroken? Bye and bye Lord, bye and bye There's a better home awaiting In the sky Lord, in the sky Source: Musixmatch

[@mcbroomjacob]

LOL

[@jst6274]

Just can't help loving Gillian's look as she watches two men whipping their "tools" in a mad courting duel while they ignore the supposed audience. You can see her step back and silently shake her head just a bit. Never knew a mando solo could be so drenched in testosterone!

[@sergeylazarev4569]

Excellent country music in tik tok times

[@nektarinedream]

does anyone know what key they're playing this in??

[@hrstruggle]

Seems to be C - Gil has her guitar at CAPO 2 and she has a C shape chord to start. There's an F in there too. If you want to help figure out the chords - I want to get friends together to play this.

[@lasttango4609]

Nice. What is that guy burning towards the end ?

[@bobfreengel]

Music producer T Bone Burnett was burning incense, something he does to set a mood.

[@roundeyeblues79]

It's Palo Santo wood. It comes from a Peruvian tree and T-Bone burns it because he says it ties the senses together. I interviewed him a while back and he was burning some then.

[@jpanicacci]

Robert Engel "T-Bone keep the tape rollin, Gil keep strummin' that guitar..."

[@bobfreengel]

jpanicacci Yes in deed!

[@truthBtold99]

who's the guy at the end blowing on the fire...the agent from hell?

[@bobfreengel]

T Bone Burnett is an American record producer, musician, and songwriter. As producer of the soundtrack O Brother, Where Art Thou?, he renewed interest in American roots music. He received a Grammy Award for that album, for the soundtracks Cold Mountain (2004), Walk the Line (2006), Crazy Heart (2010), and for Raising Sand (2007), in which he united the contemporary bluegrass of Alison Krauss with the blues rock of Robert Plant.
