Only 1.6 Million views!!! This is so live, so real, so raw, so authentic. Hey who ever you are, if you cannot see this, then please watch it again. What a performance! Tell me when you see something, anything like this again soon, as I doubt you will. Especially after COVID. This is just so PURE. Please stop wasting your time viewing other musics which are so not worthy, this is so real, this is so true, so pure. X
This is bad ass. Right up there with those few, special, live acoustic performances you have seen in your life, that are so rare you can only count them on one hand. For whatever reason it contains that magic, of Elliot Smith singing on that couch, the Beatles singing on that roof, and Dylan in 1964 singing at that Newport Folk Festival. No kidding.
Damn, I never get tired of this....music from the heart and soul and the earth itself. I wish more people could these great musicians live. Rhiannon is truly one of this era's greatest singers, and how many of them can play a fiddle to boot?
Well I just found out that it is quite difficult to type while I am standing up on my chair, spinning around and shaking my groove thang, throwing my hands up into the air and smiling like a grinning fool and thoroughly enjoying this incredible music. Multi-talented musicians, multi-instrument players amd multi-smile givers to the general public. Now that is service with a smile! Thanks Carolina Chocolate Drops for being and sharing!
i stumbled upon this group a couple years ago when i saw their cd at work...i listened to this song and was completely blown away!! i never really enjoyed hearing anyone play the banjo b4 listening to them JAM like this...i had to find this song again so i could enjoy the breath of fresh air they've pumped into a rather stale state of pop culture...
I HEARD THEM ON NPR IN MY CAR AS WELL. I COULDN'T WAIT TO LOOK THEM UP AND HEAR THIS SONG AGAIN. EXCELLENT RENDITION! I CAN'T TO PICK UP SOME OF THEIR MUSIC, THANKS NPR!!!
there's so much heart and soul in this one..blasted in prospect park!!! fantastic live ...they are the REAL THING ...loved them...she is ...they are magic...thank you guys for givin us such good vibes!
Wow! thanks for starting my day off with your fabulous music. I'm not in the music biz so no need for me to put your music in a category box...I'm just enjoying it.
+Swede McGuire There is an article about her in North Carolina's "Our State" magazine about North Carolina voices and she is the #1 voice. Her mama said she started singing when she was still in her high chair.
+Marsha Smith I read the article, Marsha. Thanks so much for dropping that suggestion, I love what Rhiannon Giddens is doing with her life. And she even married one of us Irish punters! Beautiful!
Hi. Thank you so much.. What a beautyful song to wake up too, I love this music and rated it 5 stars and put it on two of my lists "beautyful Songs" and "videos to remember". She has a fantastic voice and I really like the soul/blues feeling all the way in the music, that was very special to me..
Wow. Rhiannon's voice is magical. One of the best female voices I've heard. So much emotion ! Cool.
Rhiannon Giddens is a goddess!
Shannon and Rhiannon are Celtic river godes's
@@seamushealy5456 who's Shannon?
16 years later, I still come back and this still blows my mind

the power and feeling of old and new music spreads and invites us to live the joy
Somehow this tune popped up onto my playlist in 2023 and WOW were "They" right. I might like this? LOVE it.
Man they were having fun with this!
100% agree with Joey and others below. True genius. Can't even find words for how much I love this!
Rhiannon Giddens just won a MacArthur Foundation fellowship : $625,000
WOW! I'm so glad it went to such an amazingly talented person!!!! Thanks for sharing!
She deserves every penny
She deserves that and more.
I've been racking my brain for days to find this! I'm so happy right now!
This may be the best music video of all time.
So much sweet, sweet music out there ...and the man on the radio just spins Coldplay.
I'm an OldSkool Hip-Hop/Funk Dj/producer, my Dad is in his mid 70s and likes Country music. He played this to me and i'm hooked.
Saw them tonight in Knoxville. They did a show last night too. They put on a heck of a show. Truly pure music. Great!
normally never listen to music on the radio, but I heard this on NPR and I'm sold! Probably only great band I've ever discovered thru the radio ;)
Damn, I never get tired of this....music from the heart and soul and the earth itself. I wish more people could these great musicians live. Rhiannon is truly one of this era's greatest singers, and how many of them can play a fiddle to boot?
ALL TALENT NO AUTOTUNE
Exactly. They sound as good in person as they do on video.

Oh my God !!! I can't believe that I am just discovering this incredible singer today. Rhiannon rules !
Rhiannon Giddens is amazing. Both Tomorrow Is My Turn and Freedom Highway are great albums. She rocks my world.
You guys are wonderful! Stumbling on your videos made my day.
