The eternal beauty that these two capture in this performance, is just astounding. Watching them and the chemistry and sense of connectedness that their performance shares with the audience gives me no choice but to just sit still and feel the pure bliss. The whole Down From The Mountain concert was brilliant, but this is a special one, for sure. Both amazing artists, just beautiful.
@@YourLoyalDeserter Sounds wrong because they miss it badly! That smile means "never mind, keep going". Next time round (2:39) Gillian goes high to make sure it can't happen again.
...the most perfect love story put to music...the way Gillian looks at David...the inflections of their voices...in my mind I'm waltzing with the love of my life, who I never met, to a song I thought I would never hear...oh, god - what a song...
When I saw them sing this on the PBS special "Down From the Mountain" tears started rolling down my face. I have the video of that concert which is fabulous but that song I can never get out of my mind.
The connection between Gillian and Dave is palpable in this video, I love the close ups and the eye contact and the pure and sweet love for what they do. They never cease to move my heart. Thank you for posting!! I've never heard this song! It is a beauty!!
That's John Hartford on fiddle, one year and one month before he passed. It's poignant how at the end of this amazing performance, John simply turns and walks back into the shadows.
Love that fiddle stepping up while Dave's guitar steps down (1:33-1:35)! John had quite a lot to do with the show. He left the stage after this song while Gillian and Dave went on to play "I Want to Sing That Rock 'n' Roll" which is also brilliant. The mandolin embellishments are the cherry on top.
Yes! What a beautiful piece of chamber music no matter how big the room. How wonderful that the videographer can capture the moments of change and expressions as they happen. Kudos
I want this to play in my head as I breathe my last breath. With all apologies to Radiohead, I can think of no finer exit music for the film of my life.
Went to one of their gigs in Oslo, Norway last year and was amazed at the easy musicianship and flawless understanding of this duo. This song, of course, is a great favourite of mine. Timeless and effortlessly beautiful.
This is so lovely!!......I must have listened to it 50 times already!! Anyone know where I might find some piano music for it, or has anyone figured it out??
Anyone notice that everyone's about a half step, sharp? I think this video is from an analog source with a playback speed issue. There would have been no reason for Compton and Hartford to tune sharp...
Yes, it's clear from Gillian's fretboard that that she's playing in Eb (C-shape tonic at the 3rd fret) like on the album, but the audio sounds in E major.
She has her capo on 3 and she is playing C G and an occasional F in there but she hangs on C and G mostly. She is playing it in the key of D with chords shapes of C. I don't know how that works for piano but if you know those chords on piano I bet you could figure it out! Just 1 4 5 in the key of D. (D G A )Good luck and have fun!

What a tune
This hurts my heart...
Love this
Good grief, when she smiles at Dave at 2:23 when they hit the difficult harmony spot on, it just makes the world a better place.
Thanks Milt and I can't agree with you more.
+Milt Rudy That note blows my mind .
Milt Rudy I agree. :)
It kinda sounds wrong, but also amazing.

Wish I'd known this song 25 years ago when my children were babies. It would have been their lullabye.
Let's treasure this bright light, this special distillation of frequencies from humanity's collective consciousness that we know as Gillian Welch!
I have listened to that beautiful song repeatedly for years- what a terrific melody and words that seep into my being.
Just a flat out drop-dead gorgeous song that I couldn't get out of my head even if I wanted to.
That one note just blows my mind.Such a beautiful song and love his expressions.
Right? Whew!
One of the most beautiful songs ever!
How lucky are we all that these two found each other and decided to make music?
Cool!
Goosebumps every time.
Just love this song.
Gillian and David...what beautiful music.
Oh how I LOVE this, the song and the singers ❤
This absolutely perfect piece, is my favorite country song in all of gods green earth. I thank you.
It really is absolutely perfect.
One of the best country tracks available on RUclips
When I saw them sing this on the PBS special "Down From the Mountain" tears started rolling down my face. I have the video of that concert which is fabulous but that song I can never get out of my mind.
Thanks for sharing that thought.
And here's a link to that special. ruclips.net/video/GvWNyM6AzIs/видео.html
It is simply one of he most beautiful, harmonic songs that reaches down into my very being.
Long ago and far away and John Hartford too. Appreciated

She is so cool. Beautiful soul
This is just so beautiful.
This is fantastic. We need more of this on the radio.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks for putting the date of this concert up; for some reason a lot of ppl don't think dates are important.
Now this country music is what country is supposed to be about-- heartfelt words!!!
Thank you for showing these fabulous four musicians. Each is a star and together they ooze talentwith that rare, gorgeous sound.
They sound so good together, her voice is deep his is sweet.

Thanks Billie for checking in with us.
Gillian is an angel. This concert is beautiful. Wish I would have been there
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
I love this sooooo much
That's John Hartford on fiddle, one year and one month before he passed. It's poignant how at the end of this amazing performance, John simply turns and walks back into the shadows.
Thanks for visiting my site and for taking the time to share your thoughts.
And equally telling how Gillian motions him to come back. Good people and great musicians.
And Mike Compton also glides away - they seem to be leaving the glow to Gillian and David - that was really sweet!
Love that fiddle stepping up while Dave's guitar steps down (1:33-1:35)! John had quite a lot to do with the show. He left the stage after this song while Gillian and Dave went on to play "I Want to Sing That Rock 'n' Roll" which is also brilliant. The mandolin embellishments are the cherry on top.
What a great guy, sorely missed, but not forgotten.
Absolutely beautiful.
So lovely. Loved the back-up with the mandolin and fiddle. Sad that the wonderful fiddle player, John Hartford, passed away.
Thanks for checking in with us.
So beautiful.
just beautiful thank you, I have the vid of the concert, but its nice you pulled this out
this is my very favorite amongst all them great tunes on "down from the mountains"
Beautiful

Pure.
Made my day....beautiful work by these two.
You put yourselves into this song. When you love to sing, it shows in your song.
I want this to play in my head as I breathe my last breath. With all apologies to Radiohead, I can think of no finer exit music for the film of my life.
These two are unbelievably great. They nail their pitches like the Beatles.
Welch/Rawlings>Beatles
If you can find the live concert from the original artists. Down from the Mountain. It is just a great concert at the R.A.
Went to one of their gigs in Oslo, Norway last year and was amazed at the easy musicianship and flawless understanding of this duo. This song, of course, is a great favourite of mine. Timeless and effortlessly beautiful.
This song has resonated unbelievably with me in the last few months. Thank you for sharing!....@rachelmorrissey
sweet...soul
Agree with all positive comments below. Very special song this.
Thanks Lorna for tuning in.
One little star
Smiling tonight
This is so lovely!!......I must have listened to it 50 times already!! Anyone know where I might find some piano music for it, or has anyone figured it out??
Beautiful I loved it....Stewart.

Great!
John Hartford ! woah! my man
❤❤❤
these people are what I call musical...yes musicians too, but with the caveat of being musical too
Thanks for checking out my site and for your comment.

John Hartford-what can be said about John Hartford?
It's fitting that John Hartford is looking over their shoulders there.
is there a video of Gillian Welch singing Indian War Whoop with John Hartford?
Is the gentleman with the suspenders playing an oud or a mandolin?
You're welcome!
tried to see the concert at the link, but it is "Private Only". Too bad
Is this song on any of her albums?
She has her capo on 3 and she is playing C G and an occasional F in there but she hangs on C and G mostly. She is playing it in the key of D with chords shapes of C. I don't know how that works for piano but if you know those chords on piano I bet you could figure it out! Just 1 4 5 in the key of D. (D G A )Good luck and have fun!
Just wondering: are you the real Jan Hammer, Czech-American born musician, composer and record-producer?
Ended up here because of Lila Downs and Norah Jones.
isn't it supposed to be that way?
That poor guy!!! He doesn't have to suffer like that. Hemorrhoid operations have been successful for years now.
Hank William could have written this.
Thanks Gary for tuning in.
That one note just blows my mind.Such a beautiful song and love his expressions.
