Oh my...this beauty is almost heart breaking...both superb
What I couldn't understand was how she could write something like this - I thought she was beautiful. She still is...
What a coincidence….. this recording is from 17 years ago! And I remember watching it live on tv like it was yesterday.
What did he say?
The host said they never played together and this is the very first time. So, it wasn’t planned, it happened that they were in the same tv-show and for some reason decided to play this song together. I guess they met backstage and Bona probably told her he knew that song. The rest is history…
Han Reiziger, Dutch national treasure, sadly no longer with us. Had the ability to make some memorable television and this is one I remember. Story goes they asked Rich Bona saterdaynight in the hotelbar if he wanted to play with Janis the next day. He agreed and said there was no need to practice. Sundaymorning, just minutes before playing Bona was having a coffee at the bar and asked the producer: “this Janis, who is she?” Right at the moment Janis entered the bar. She greeted him, gave him a hug and the rest is history. Great television. ‘Reiziger in de muziek’ on Sunday mornings, sweet memories.
Janis' voice is so beautiful. still. this bass player, Richard Bona, is so good. nice touch and pulls off nice harmonics. so good.
MAGNIFICENT and TIMLESS....she wrote this in her teens with such an incredible tapestry of words to describe being young and not in the spotlight. Where have all the great musical poets gone? Thank you Janis Ian"
Does anyone know what guitar Janis is playing...it sounds Fabulous 👌
When AI sucks the brains from our conquered skulls, performances and chemistries like these will still survive. It's all we have to hang on to now.
La escucho y la vuelvo a oír, y no me aburre, hermosa melodía.
I found this video a number of years ago and was blown away. I am a fan of both of them. This was a perfect video of this beautiful interaction of musicians. This song reminds me of my mother….it touched my heart. And then this version….just moved me beyond that. Being a bass player, Mr.Bona is my top bass player also. Much love to you for sharing this gem . ❤❤❤
A timless song.
I ever understood that this beautiful but also sad song... at 17....was about herself. Apparently at that age she didn't know at 17 that the simplicity about her makes her such a beautiful person in her life. By the way.... Her best version with the great bass player mr Bona.
No me gusta nada la intervención del hombre de color.
Bassist the heart of a song. Janis perfect just show her beautiful soul in her music. And her influence on fellow musicians.....excellent. Genius. Respect to Janis and Bassist Bono
Grate bass playing, 'love it!
Music with a capital "M".
Great collaboration... congrats
OUTSTANDING performance!!!! Both Janis and Richard have been influential in shaping my path over the years - and this is one of the reasons. Spectacular!
Love them both.
What a beautiful woman.
Wow nice to see janis smile. When payment due exceeds accounts received, luv it.
I grew up liking your song, "At 17," in the 70's. Now, I am 60, I still search and listen to your song, "At 17," once in a while ... with tears and a smile. I hope my comment finds you well and happy, Miss Ian.
Amazing
Doesn’t matter what version I hear, it’s always wonderful, touching and brilliant. Many thanks Janis. I bet you looked wonderful at seventeen as well!
7 by.
My God! Her voice is still there....so pure, plaintive and emotional.....now..THAT's a singer....and the song.....no one writes that stuff nowadays... Just proves you don't need a whole bunch of drums and instruments and backup dancers and back up singers.....She looks like she's really enjoying this session...and the bass player!!! So gifted..Thank you Janis Ian!
*_The Bass Harmonics were Golden._*
That was unbelievable. The joy on The face of Janis is wonderful. I heard the joy. I could listen to that song all day. Thank you !!!
voilà une chanson magnifique !!
Beautiful all around.
Always loved this song since Janis sang it on OGWT many moons ago.
Well done ! Flawless !
Just Class!
That was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! =)
OHHHH!!!! Talent, Feelings, Beauty....such a song
Gracias!
🌱🌕❣️😉
I wonder how many times she has sung this song? One of the very best, great lyrics.
oh, bona bona~~~ what a sound~~
Beautiful! xxs<3
This song is epic It’s kind of sad that an artist like Bona didn’t really know the chord changes and kind of jock riffed ala Jaco It took away from it for me Maybe if he paid attention to how profound the lyrics are he might have taken his fusion cap off The song holds up on its own though Janice is a legend
I disagree. The delayed changes, great recoveries, and little impromptu riffs, as well as the story that hey had just met, he’d never heard of her, or the song, yet, all things considered, watching the, pull it off the way they did, was perfect in my opinion. Rehearsal would have deprived it of the magic it has and the sparkle in their eyes as they seem to both be having such a great time.
Magnifique
Two creative artists flashing eachother with musical looks, sounds ,forms , and what ifs i go heres!!
I Love You Janis Ian You are so beautiful ❤️
love the addition of the sympathetic bass, especially as it's played so well.
Sorry, Richard. I saw it on Janis' face. You blew it the first time around. I heard it too. But you're still my favorite, and you almost redeemed yourself halfway through. By the end, you were makin' it.
This is just amazing! Richard Bona is a genius and Janis Ian sounds like my youth!
A very beautiful performance!
I really liked this song. Ian has been around since the 60s and sounds exactly the same. She seems clearly suprised and impressed with Bona's tasteful fills and harmonic flurishes. This reminds me a little of Joni Mitchell and Jaco Pastories except Bona was much more restraint in his playing and stuck mostly to root notes. Bona's talent is in his african rythyms. He can place ghost notes so beautifully and gets a beautiful tone out of his bass.
