Ani DiFranco - Shy (Solo - 2003)

[wcsu1997]

What an amazing performance! And these lyrics are visually alive! Even when she loses her place singing, she turns it into a chance to thank her audience! Ani is awesome in every way!

[sircharcuterie]

Wow what a performer.

[EricSchwin22]

@LuideeMedia....are you serious? You listened to too much MTV or Radio! Because this music is definitely not out of sync

[PrettyMommyOfTwo]

I love this song... I'm jammin' in the library... people are starring... I LOVE IT!!

[jaymehampsher]

I love her. So much.

[racetay]

luv her smile

[TheMoralAmbiguities]

Ohhh, god. I love when she forgets the lyrics and she's just improvising the whole time. It just brings a smile to my face.

[LuideeMedia]

ah this would be amazing if it wasnt out of sync x well its still amazing x

[francoapple]

@LuideeMedia out of sync? really?

[m2r6i8]

magnifique superbe rien a enlever

[weirdscene2]

her picking is awesome..anybody knows what alvarez model is this one?

[shellywebster87]

I was wondering the same thing right now, do you know it now?

[xjaisovx]

so intense! 

[prattiers8]

f***ing amazing!

[phakajuju]

[jamiehofhine]

[katisawriter]

I've loved her for years. Such an amazing musician.

[AnushuaSerenades]

[TheGeoplanb]

Her dreadlocks<3

[motownmaniax]

Ani's a national treasure. Boundless talent and energy.

[MzHibou]

Maybe remove the tag that says: "click here"? :)

[francoapple]

@MzHibou thanks, I forgot about that ;)

[silverandemz]

HA!

[eleutheron]

It seems as though HQ is no longer an option... Is this the case for anyone else? I have watched this video several times in HQ, but it no longer appears (at least for me) on the video toolbar...

[feelquiet]

The search preview shows it's 5:48 and yet when you play it it goes to 0:02 . Weird.

[Kayrahsfic]

what happened? it's now 2 seconds :(

[francoapple]

I have no idea :( ...think I'll have to upload it again

[feelquiet]

@francoapple The youtube goddesses magically and mysteriously fixed this video!!

[francoapple]

@feelquiet it was about time already!...I didn't notice it, thanks for letting me know

guess I have to delete the other video

[Totyi]

oh yeah sexy :P

[LeeJay88]

ani is amazing.

this performance gives me goosebumps every time

she has so much talent.

[elyely2]

oh god look how she plays the guitar...luv her..

[Loufianaah]

Is this from London in June 2003? I think i recognize it!! But i guess it could be from any of the concerts of the Evolve-tour!!/U

[francoapple]

No, is from Rialto Square Theatre - Joliet, IL (2003-04-12)

[thenscream]

this performance of shy is one of my all time favorite songs

[icegirl152]

Awesome video! She gives the most dynamic live concerts.  I haven't seen her live since the 90's...this makes me want to see her again! Thanks for posting this.

[cjdaly]

Top song, TOP performance!

[feelquiet]

This is prolly my all-time favorite version of Shy. Thanks for posting.

[Cordieliea]

If you dont mind me asking, what are those things on her fingers?

[feelquiet]

Like many guitarists, she has industrial strength acrylic nails on the right hand. But she plucks the strings so hard (when she's not using a pick) that she has to reinforce them with black electrical tape to keep from ripping her nails out.

[Socrates271]

That is crazy :P

[chrissmat]

i play like that cept wwithout the tape cuz i play electric and my nails no matter wat i used fuckin gorilla glue and tape...lol

[Cordieliea]

oh... hehe thats cool! =]

[philosphrstone]

Thanks very much, great video! I was fortunate enough to see her in Vancouver, BC two weeks ago and it was wonderful! I don't care that she's hooked up... I still wanna be her groupie! lol

[drwierd]

boooooo!!! get off the stage!

[cjdaly]

Why are you watching this if you hate her? You fucking suck dude!

[drwierd]

no, ani difranco sucks.

[Tritium8]

[madpicken]

this was my first ani experience. Would love it if she would just allow all her performances to be documented.

[clbt4celluloid]

A goddess pure and simple.

[LGTV33]
