This is possibility the best "acoustic" performance I have heard her do of this song. Whoever is doing the sound on Howard's show is nothing less than genius.
I agree also. this is a great performance, and people seem to shine on Howard's show. Lady Gaga, The Highwomen, Maren Morris,Foo Fighter's, Train. The list goes on and on. They just seem to dial in their sound when singing there.
Just finished her memoir, she had a cyst on her vocal cords that was discovered right after this performance that was extremely close to rupture! We would never have known, but her vocal coach could hear it!
Saw her several times in the early 2000's at smaller venues in Seattle. She is that good live. Never ever misses a note. Absolutely effortless. Can belt anything out, but never oversings it. 100% talent.
Same, saw her right after recording Benaroya Hall. Was my first time at one of her shows and she did signings and pictures afterward. I almost left early but decided to stay and meet the band. In four more shows I've been to I have not seen them do that again. Really wish I had taken a picture with them! :(
George Charouhas. I almost turned off the Grammys this year because I didn't recognize anyone's name. Sad but true LOL. As each person came on the stage I was more and more blown away. I can't believe I'm saying this but happy to say it it is the best Grammys that I've ever seen and I'm 55 years old rock on Grammys.
This song sends chills down my spine. Just when you think that there's no good music being made today along comes someone like Brandi Carlile to prove otherwise.
A few times a generation (if we are lucky) God gives us true talent. I have loved Brandi since 2008. She is the real deal. Her voice makes my soul shift. And luckily for us, she is just getting started.
First time I heard this tune I got massive goosebumps. I'm fairly sure the 10,000 th time I'll still get them. What a magnificent song and so perfectly done. Wow.
Wow. I listen to Stern daily and missed this one but caught a repeat today. Blown away. So satisfying that there still are actual songwriters/poets out there creating music with feeling. As the father of 2 baby boys I couldn’t help but think of them while listening and what they might face growing up. Not ashamed to say it choked me up a bit. Beautiful song. Thank you Stern Show for posting 🙏
She's one of the only people out there who creates content that is flesh worthy of the bones of that kind of range and dynamics. She bring THE WHOLE DAMN THING. Too often a person with a voice has little say, but look what I can do. She's awesome.
I’m so happy people are discovering her. I’ve listened to her since 2006/7 (heard a lot of songs on Grey’s Anatomy)with the self titled “Brandi Carlile” album. Then “The Story” then “Give Up the Ghost” and so on and so in. Saw her last May in DC and it was wonderful!
Drive By Truckers took me to Jason Isbell who took me to Amanda Shires then took me to Highwomen and then to Brandi. Glad I got here eventually. What a talent.
Her voice reminds me so much of that chick from Lone Justice... doubt anyone is old enough to know who Im talking about but man, both awesome. Im gonna have to dig more into her after watching her performance last night I was gobsmacked!!

Donnie Smith agree

Brandi's voice is also just that amazing and magical raw.
Yes. Its perfection for the underdogs. We win
Belinda's voice is so authentic ! Great performance !
Best performance of The Grammy's!! So glad she's finally being recognized!

Pete K. *Mid-00s
She wasn’t performing in early 00s
Correct, she can sing Country, rock, blues, and anything else. Her Led Zep covers are mind blowing
Jeez... I'm blown away by this lady! AND this incredible song! Can't believe I'm saying this, but... I'm glad I watched the Grammys this year.

THAT SLOW VIBRATO.. CHILLS MAN.. CHILLS
This song sends chills down my spine. Just when you think that there's no good music being made today along comes someone like Brandi Carlile to prove otherwise.
Wow! One of the most powerful, chill inducing performances I’ve ever heard in my 38 years. It literally took my breath away towards the end.
Howard Stern musical performances always sound pristine - awesome quality!
credit goes to scott with the dark cloud
Amazing,,,, I cry over how amazing her voice is, and this song is incredible..
I'm crushed. This totally makes my heart HURT. Thank you brandi, for fighting for (US), the underdogs.
A tear for the high notes ... a lifetime body chills for the slow vibrato. Thank you for your existence!
The Grammy performance was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to just smile at Howard's reaction! It was beautiful!
I am glad to see he is in a place to view women as people rather than objects!!! Way to evolve, Howard!!!

Howard Stern’s studio really might be the best in the world. Music performances sound absolutely amazing there.
This performance is absolutely breathtaking.
People check out her catalog. She should be a superstar.
She’s so powerfully moving. Tears every time. I’ve always imagined her and Cornell doing a duet. 😭🙏🏽
Man she is spectacular, her voice send chills down my spine!
First time I heard this tune I got massive goosebumps. I'm fairly sure the 10,000 th time I'll still get them. What a magnificent song and so perfectly done. Wow.
Every version just spine-tingling.
She just sang this on the Grammys. Killed it
I will never forget this song.

Killer tune. Made this old heavy metal dude cry
Listen to this amazing song with headphones. Believe me.
Adri yep
This is the move.
She's one of the only people out there who creates content that is flesh worthy of the bones of that kind of range and dynamics.
She bring THE WHOLE DAMN THING.
Too often a person with a voice has little say, but look what I can do.

The mixing is amazing.

She gives me hope in these troubled times.
Incredible! Gives me chills every time I listen to it. Very powerful
Beautiful. What a gift she gives us.
She makes me cry. In a good way I so adore her. This is what music is all about.
Cannot stop listening.
Really never heard of her. She's wonderful. Old Rush fan here :)
Drive By Truckers took me to Jason Isbell who took me to Amanda Shires then took me to Highwomen and then to Brandi. Glad I got here eventually. What a talent.
Glad this version was FINALLY released. Probably the best rendition of this song in a live studio session.
This woman is touched. Wow!
this was a really top moment of 2018 on Stern for me. She was amazing and super friendly/fun interview
I have watched all her performances that are on the internet and this one is by far the most powerful. Her voice is amazing!!
Stephanie Smith I thought the Grammys was awesome also.
This song is great on so many levels!
this artist is recognized across generations
I just became a big Brandi fan..what an awesome voice..Thanks Howard u r the best
I love that beatup old guitar. Every player has a favorite one.
Hands down best performance at the Grammys. You go girl

Simply amazing.... there's a reason this song / album won 6 Grammy's....
Refreshing voice.... absolutely refreshing.....👏🏾
She should have won album of the year @ Grammys
She's not a minority get real
Robert Elliott Kacey Musgraves literally won AOTY that year at the Grammys but ok
i love that she hums at the beginning to get the key
Way cool. Thanks for that. What a voice on this Mom.
Is a ❤️ button instead of a basic 👍?
I just love this song and her voice.
Awesome vocal and acoustic performance - genius.
She’s awesome! I saw her in Florida a few weeks ago and she was unreal!

Unfortunately I’m old enough 😕
Just found her 10mins ago only heard the eye. what a well written song. Damn shes impressive
Incredible artist - I initially watched her performance on Austin City Limits in 2010. She and the Hanseroth brothers make for an amazing trio.
