I attended this concert, but I was unable to see much of it because my eyes were constantly full of tears. Two years later in 1967 I met Nina in Amsterdam. From that meeting a close friendship emerged that lasted until her death in 2003. The last words she spoke to me before she died were: Don't leave me Gerrit. To this day I miss her and her genius!
She was such a brave and talented goddess... to sing these lyrics during this time...sharing our peoples horror stories all over the world. What and activist.
What a unique talent Nina was. She often looked like she would rather be somewhere else when she was playing or that she was enduring the intrusion of the audience but her voice and playing revealed a passion and intensity that was off the scale. Genius is an overused word but not in her case .
She is tellin' a story, in words, but mostly in sounds. A true story, sad sometimes, joeyfull otheretimes, but sincere and open. That story touches your soul... Very few artists can do that!
Nina Simone has been a part of my life since I was a child. I can remember when I first heard her voice and was immediately spellbound by what I was hearing. My grandmother used to play her records when I was little. She would say that Nina was an enigmatic artist who sang and played such beautiful music her voice expressed such deep emotions love sorrow and pain. It was like witnessing the energy of a bright star in the cosmos. I’m 50 years old her music has been in every stage of my life. I played her songs when I’m happy, when I sad and in moments where I need to find my foundation. Her songs are profoundly beautiful and every single song carries me through life as I listen and what I need the most in that moment of my life. On my 44th birthday I went to see my tattoo artist and friend and asked to put her name on my arm. I’ve read all about her life her music her triumphs her losses her activism her beliefs her hopes for the future her struggles and her constant battles with her inner demons. She was a trail blazer and ahead of her time. A poet, an artist, activist, a teacher, a mom, a revolutionary figure and most importantly a woman. As a man who has been influenced by only 5 women in my life are my grandmother, my mother, my wife and my baby daughter. And the incomparable Nina Simone.
what a Diamond, thank you for this so much. ... Simone-( forever alive her music!) sang the truth with power, compassion, grit. Seems like such a deep strength radiates from her whether or not it was a conscious offering to her Loves and Inspirations ...Still waters run deep
Wonderful video. I had the pleasure of seeing Nina Simone at the Fillmore East in New York twice circa 1970. I always thought that her live performances were much better than her recordings from that era. I forgot what a wonderful pianist she was. Thanks for posting this!

Quel document précieux, ! Je le cherchais depuis son annonce il y a quelques jours! Des versions intimistes et complètement différentes de celles que nous avons entendues jusqu'à lors. Quel régal ! Quel caractère !😂 ❤❤❤
Le caractère est primordial à ce niveau de technicité musical ! A la 29 ème minute elle demande un micro plus haut mais surtout qui soit tourné vers le bas ! C'est pour ça qu'elle demande par la suite aux musiciens de jouer moins fort car pour cette chanson elle a besoin que sa voix porte plus, or avec le micro qui n'est pas tourné vers le bas cela ne lui va pas ! Donc elle préfère de leur demander de jouer moins fort pour que sa voix soit en avant !
Historical context: Just over 5 months before this performance, Nina's dear friend, Malcolm X, was murdered on her 32nd birthday. She was angry and never got over that. She called him the greatest spokesman for Black people ever. She loved and admired him. She took his loss very personally.
first time sitting down to listen to this gem. strange fruit made my baby stop playing and start screaming and crying, it really seemed like Nina's performance spoke clearly to him and he had the appropriate reaction. i held him as we both cried through the song. he sure has been born into a strange and dangerous world
I prepared to sing this song in my Catholic Schools Talent Show. I had no idea what Strange Fruit was, I'd heard & liked the song. My mom played Jazz (i.e.Count Basie, Ella, etc.), Classical , Popular (Mathis, Sinatra), R&R (James Brown, Elvis, etc) Country (Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, etc) Variety! It wasn't until my BFF's brother explained what lynching was that I understood why my singing was stopped & rejected. "Black bodies" didn't compute in my 12YO brain. Project2025 takes us back to Strange Fruit days!! VoteBlue2024!
The time she takes with the phrasing and her expressions still give me chills whenever I listen to this version of Strange Fruit. The grief and the indignation come across as a punch
A real person_ I cant imagine what it was like for her to be in this world _ every minute on fire _ she stayed for her people_like Jesus she loved her family_ all people being abused belong to her family
Let’s hope … it’s unfortunate that her Carnegie Hall centre was never video recorded 😮😢that would have been something… but this concert is AMAZING ‼️‼️‼️
Nina, you have always blown me away. I have been a big fan since age 18 and bought lots of her records. I am nearly 40 now and she still blows me away. You can't pin her down to one genre. She makes every song her own.
Un document exceptionnel, sans voix. Extraordinaire Nina Simone. Elle touche les émotions de notre âme. Cela fait 20 ans que j écoute cette voix unique. Fait rire et pleurer. Donne de l espoir ,du courage. Repose en paix. Youssef B.
I never liked Jazz until I heard Nina Simone. She's a beautiful soul. The first time I even learned she existed was through the animated (well, claymation) music video of 'My baby just cares for me' on MTV in the late 1980s. -Nina played not just music from the heart, but music from the deepest, darkest part of the soul. And this, for me, as a metal-head is Metal AF. Sometimes makes me wonder: What present-day musical performer will still be remembered 60 years from now...

She was such a brave and talented goddess... to sing these lyrics during this time...sharing our peoples horror stories all over the world. What and activist.
Brave AAAnnnd Talented GODDESS. You said it!
A re-incarnated African Priestess, perhaps?🌹j.
@jimnutter6901 BINGO!

Some singers come to Earth to stay forever and just like Diamonds!
Aaaaahaaaay-MEN!
Rest in power and peace 🙏

Nina was just endlessly captivating. I love how she always performed with utter conviction.
She still continues to captivate everyone here! 55:55
She felt the music she was singing, emotionally and viscerally. That’s why you can feel it.

It was as if you had lived with her in real life.
Your testimony about her brings a tear to my eyes.
I love her too
perfeita.
Black is the color of our skin the highest honor of our ancestral blend the only ?, we must ask, why is freedom made a lifelong task?
How beautifully said!!!
Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot to those of us who weren't around to see her during this time period.
A voice of wisdom and power.
Sure wish I could have known her when she was doing all of this! I simply love watching her.
good 4 you
She was amazing ❤️
This is just fantastic! She’s in her prime here ❤
SHINING HER BEAUTIFUL LIGHT 💯🙌💌⚔️🌎👍🗽
Une grande dame de la musique mondiale

Omg 😱 I’m so jealous ( unfortunately I was 9 in 1970 so I came late to the party ( but I’ve been listening to miss Nina for over 25 yrs 🤷♀️☮️❤️

Excellent performance! I am in awe of her power, grace and talent
This is rare gem
her majesty

She puts a spell on her audience.She was such a outstanding artist. Huge respect .
I saw her twice in London. Her music has been a constant in my life since the late Sixties
Elle est lumineuse, sombre.... L'harmonie des contraires !
Quelle femme exceptionnelle.❤🌑
LOVELY NINA❤, LONELY NINA❤.....
Finally a full concert of nina simone!!!!
I Love Nina
La version de 'Au clair de la lune" est juste incroyable ! Quelle artiste talentueuse Nina était !
The one who played the flute is also a man of music. The rest of the band is fabulous too!
Enorme, sublime, magnifique...
Grande Nina...grande voce....grande pianista ❤❤💯💯💯💯

absolutely 💙🇺🇸
Whoa. You sang “Strange Fruit” without knowing what it was about? Yikes! So did they stop you before or during your performance?
On "Be My Husband" was the first time when i heard my speakers at maxx volume.The vibe and swing of this song is insane !
❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing.
Set the tone for the night with the first song 🔥 ⚡️
❤❤❤❤❤❤ sa c'est une vraie DIVA du jazz!
… Nina Simone …. Intensely Fabulous!! ❤️🎶
So beautiful. I'm in tears! Always been one of my favorite pianists. You could place a tea cup on top of her hand and it wouldn't fall. Perfect hands!
True ❤❤❤
Honestly the way she kicked that last song out of the ball park could never be repeated,
The time she takes with the phrasing and her expressions still give me chills whenever I listen to this version of Strange Fruit. The grief and the indignation come across as a punch

Thank you for sharing this treasure with the world 🙏🏿 Nina’s music is the truth 🙌🏿
Great concert, thanks for Uploading!!! Hope Ninas Antibes concerts will be available soon on CD, LP and DVD
Let’s hope … it’s unfortunate that her Carnegie Hall centre was never video recorded 😮😢that would have been something… but this concert is AMAZING ‼️‼️‼️
Nina sings the blues! She was really amazing. So real and so raw.
Nina, you have always blown me away. I have been a big fan since age 18 and bought lots of her records. I am nearly 40 now and she still blows me away. You can't pin her down to one genre. She makes every song her own.

Thank you for posting this, wish I met her. Amazing.
Nina a unique talent extraordinaire! This performance is just so in the moment! Wonderful!
❤️
I never liked Jazz until I heard Nina Simone. She's a beautiful soul. The first time I even learned she existed was through the animated (well, claymation) music video of 'My baby just cares for me' on MTV in the late 1980s.
-Nina played not just music from the heart, but music from the deepest, darkest part of the soul. And this, for me, as a metal-head is Metal AF.
Sometimes makes me wonder: What present-day musical performer will still be remembered 60 years from now...
Thank you for posting this!!
What a brilliant filming of her performance! ❤
Beautiful woman inside and out!!
I feel like she resonates through me at times. She is incredible and brave. Something speaks thru her when she sings and I understand it completely
Just so amazing
good timing!
🌈..I❤️MUSIC..🍀
Why is this concert not available on DVD. She is so great and I love her music so much❤❤
So interesting how her voice went from so soft and sweet to so strong and forceful with age.
Rainha , The Queen
One unique maestress from outer space...........
Nina kwen so many things. Music, people, politic, languages, cultures, love, everything but family. Love unconditinally her anarkism.
Lovely ❤❤❤❤and the strongest person.
Masterpiece
