Stereo but overloaded version of the rarest of rare piano performances. Synchronized from a tape to the only other gootube upload which was mono & from another tape.
In hearing Bonnie Raitt talk about this performance she said it was the Hardest that she has ever done because the song was so demanding for her. I think she NAILED it and you can see the RELIEF on her face as she finishes up her Grammy Award Winning Song.
@@enjangyusuf2ndchannel468 It was during the time when all those old rockers were kicking those youngsters asses at the Grammys. Carlos Santana, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton etc., and Bonnie. Year after year.
This song was popular at the same time my marriage was falling apart. It was both heartbreaking and comforting at the same time. It was my song of woe...and truth. 💔
She’s exposing something sacred in her heart in such a beautiful yet sad way. She’s one of the precious few artist who can do this and we are so lucky to experience it.
This live performance was even a lot better than the single. Bonnie laid bare her sadness, her heart, her very soul. This was her golden moment to share and she succeeded without being maudlin. What a pro!
Music at its best... raw emotion, unbridled by any self-awareness or need to be in control. Go ahead, give in, let yourself go, allow this to fully embrace you like a flood of tears lifting you up and sharing your pain. It's why music exists.
This is an amazing performance of an outstanding song. It resonates so deeply with me. I am so glad there are artists that can put into music and words the deepest feelings one is incapable of articulating, and that there are artists such as Bonnie and Bruce that can make it all accessible to us. Thank you for this gift they're giving us.
It was suggested to both Bette Midler and Linda Ronstadt to record it. Bonnie grabbed it first. I could not imagine either of them doing it like this, but Linda might have been the closest to having the ability.
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't...
Grammy rarely, ever ever, had a better live moment
That night, Bonnie Raitt beats Mariah, Whitney and Amy Grant in women pop singer category 👍👍. She nailed it..!
Unbelievable performance. No auto tune, no hype.. just real unbridled soulful talent. If literally feel this song

Grammy's greatest live performance ever, no hype, just heart

Bruce Hornsby has such a recognizable piano sound. You know he's playing without having to see him.

One of the greatest performances of anything, song or otherwise. It was flawless, and she made it look so easy to her. What talent.
I’ve never seen this. This is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. I was so fortunate to see her perform a couple years ago
The best, most heart-wrenching, performance of this song I have ever seen. Unbelievable. Thank you Bonnie for this.

This is a great song sung by a great singer but it feels even more bittersweet for those who have loved someone who didn't love you back.
Amen.
So true. But the exquisite irony for me is that he introduced this Bonnie Raitt version to me.
One of the greatest and saddest songs ever made.
I get chills every time I listen to this song, and this was no exception. Thank God this song got sung by Bonnie Rait.

@@Juice_Lover123 Linda would wrecked it she's too nasal.
Just brilliant, no auto tune needed here.
Not only a great performance but a beautiful woman!
Incredible song and soul wrenching performance. Ufff my heart hurts.
No autotune. True artistry.
Bonnie KILLT this. And Bruce SMASHED that piano. Thanks for uploading this!

Such a transcendent performance it makes me think human beings might be worth saving after all.
And lets not forget the great Bruce Hornsby on piano

Standing ovation
OMG, this was amazing!! Love Bonnie!

Just Beautiful
Magnificient Bonnie!
Just realized Bruce Hornsby is playing the piano.
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't...
No standing ovation? :(
I LOVE YOU Bonnie Raitt
incredible vocals
The only version In my opinion
With Bruce Hornsby
My life, unfortunately
