Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Sharon Shannon, Donal Lunny: Goodbye; Washington 2000

[TimTungsten]

The fiddler is Nollaig Casey

[Escal1951]

If this is not Grace, if this is not Harmony, if this is not Beauty, if this not Perfection, if this is not Heaven, give me another name for it.

[EwolDJ]

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like the one and only Mairin Fahy on fiddle. She's worth a namecheck too. Love 'em all.

I just had to learn this song, seeing this perfect video.

I guess I'm a biased observer, but is it just me, or do women get more beautiful as they age?

Richer, deeper, stronger - yet more delicate

makes you want to treasure them extra special...

Sharon Shannon's quiet, composed face in this video... and Emmy Lou

[kenedal1]

Lots of clips of them doing this song on you tube.This one is for me the best quality sound and picture and the harmonising between Earle and Emily is perfect. Also the violins add to the lyricism.

[princessofhesse]

had not seen this, Steve Earle is the man. Incredible. always.

[swampy1952]

is it possible to fall in love with a song ? this is the one for me , steve n emmy together , music gets no better than this

[spunksyvotte]

So beautiful, so harmonic, so much better than the awful X-factor-America's-got-talent-­generation-music(this video made me forget the evil X-factor for a while though)

[Escal1951]

If you believe in God, whatever name He may be given by your priests, you know He endowed Man with poetry, mathematics and all earthly arts and sciences to create beauty and reach truth and eternity. And if you don’t, you can still name “God” those talents of the gifted ones.

So what? Well, only a handful of heart and soul in thanks to them among those many a thousand, all so unique and perfect, who “give us shelter from the storms” and keeps us “forever young” in our “rags of light”.

[RUSHIE1892]

Emmy will be 65 in April!!!

Thanks so much for posting it. I've always remembered it as the definitive version, too, but hadn't seen it in all this time. Nice to have confirmation at last.

I'm familiar with the music of Donal, Steve and Sharon! First time i've heard this! I wept with the beauty and the pain of it! Bitter magic!

Wonderful as ever.

Steve also performed Galway Girl that night I think.

[AdamHassan88]

Awesome video, I have never seen this before. The instruments in the background make the song sound even better. Is there more to this concert or did they only perform one song?

[TheMorewood]
