[wasssup10960]

Keys to imagination is the first song

[aw042512]

[splsun]

[Brinah]

[willogato]

Karen Briggs Rocks

[willogato]

You Rock!

[MrLivingparadox]

Vicarious, Brilliant, Esteem, Goosebumps, Epic, Timeless, ... an original friend and ally everlasting.

[sergio61100]

fantastic, wonderful, a lot of talent

[htsea]

i get goosebumps every time i see this. ive watched this countless times by the way, prolly the 25th time by now. she's pure genius.

[livadarosa]

What a performance !!!

[estebana174]

Karen rocks, period!!!

[cobsag]

Karen Briggs is the Edie Van halen of the violin,AMAZING!!

[jpslim2005]

My sister played like that God rest her soul!

[okedoke1234]

Only one other violinist can compare - Mairead Nesbitt from Celtic Woman. Look her up on YouTube. Simply awesome! Love to see Mairead and Karen on stage at the same time!!!!

[Slayerkid16]

Man she plays that thing like the guitar and her music shounds like it making love to the sky.

[midlagednkrazey]

There is only 1 other violinist I've seen that can compare to Karen Briggs, and that is Anna Phoebe who tours with TSO..I expect to see flames shoot out of Karens violin anytime she plays

[Kyuu9999]

I loved that woman but too bad we never got to meet :(

[trl614]

I cannot get enough of watching Karen Briggs performing, her face expressions and body language becomes pare of her violin. When I was a the Acropolis and saw the magnificent of the place I was only wishing that I was there the night this concert took place.

[ez12like]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMNNN!!!!!!!!!

[gumpert49]

OMG ITS JESUS

[Fvillasanz]

Excellent!!!

He will play in my country this month.

[xsweetxthluverx]

can someone tell me the name of the song that has the 2nd solo in this vid

[kiwiswa]

@xsweetxthluverx not sure if u mean this vid or dvd,but the 2 solos,one on her own and the uda with conductor....1st is "the rain must fall"...2nd is "within attraction"...rock on karen.

[codebluegal]

This gave me the biggest goosebumps ever when I first saw this years ago...it still does till this day. Amazing!

[donnamariealba]

Karen Briggs is incredible, and all the music was written by Yanni. He is a fantastic composer. I think Live At The Acropolis was truly a work of art. Amazing.

[animahacker2019]

I am 25 years old and have been listening to this for the greater part of my life. Everytime I hear her.. I am stunned.

[sewnrose2]

KAREN, WHAT CAN YOU SAY? MOVE OVER CHARLIE DANIELS. LOVE TO HAVE HER IN MY BAND. SHE HITS NOTES I DIDNT KNOW WERE THEIR!

[dfckmetal]

verdaderamente grandioso, inexplicablemente majestuoso, todos juntos hacen un genio, es musica bajada del cielo, en definitiva

[Erick0965]

So perfectly his music's creation, just want to say...wonderful.........like in the heaven

[rgmayson]

When someone loves music so much that they make love to the music and make you feel the same love, then it transcends the physical and becomes a "moment" in time. This is truly one of the unique moments in time and anyone who witnesses it is witness to a great wnder of our world!

[Sonorausa]

I love your music and production value.

[AddisonP19]

karen just blows my mind...not only is she a world class musician but she also shows shes got some serious soul to play these face melting improvs

[drdbonez]

there are afterall better things than sex, breathtaking

[Neutralbuttafly]

She's so good it seems like she's becoming possessed by the violin. Inspiring.

[brucer6522]

Love her style and theory, she got me listening to Yanni years ago.

[Crishhoff]

sick !!!

[kci13dd]

JUST WHAOU!!!!!

[KashaCandy]

I was watching this many years ago and thats how I got into Yanni's music a bit. That lady kicks ass. She aint no joke!

[sunnyday157]

Ova zena je apsolutna boginja!!! Sve reci su naprosto suvisne....

[laverion]

wow she is crying 2:21 ...

[orp27yuk]

2:20: great!!!! 2:44: twice great!!

[thebadseed83]

you know what Miketnsa. i think you are absolutely correct,,, it is very very difficult for anyone to come up with a live music performance that beats this beauty,,,, i envy those people attending the concert,, must have been an orgasmic experience of a lifetime,,,, damn!

[Miketnsa]

@thebadseed83 I Agree 100%! I would have given anything to have been there...I originally got the tape from a PBS fundraiser auction years ago.(before you could buy it in stores) We hosted a party once and I put this tape on in the background just for the heck of it . Within 20mins everyone slowly gathered around the Big Screen! It became the party! Folks were leaving and asking me where I got the tape? And what a Great idea it was to make it part of the party. It's a great ice breaker...

[superlazerage]

Karen Briggs is beast but seriously? AT A PARTY! WOW! You got cool friends...i wish my friends could stop listening to metal and hip hop and actually listen to this type of music.

[Kida001]

It is awesome. I got the opportunity to see them perform live a few years ago. Karen Briggs alone got a standing ovation when she first came on the stage.

We were on our feet for the entire concert.

[timberlaxxx]

0:41 to 2:55 - this wasn't in the Acropolis video i saw! Which song it this ?!

[yeauyeau]

yes it was on the video...the song is The Rain Must Fall

[marazm1]

she's hot!

[SuperCharles34]

O talento da Karem é formidável, me impressiona muito... A intimidade com que domina seu instrumento é fabuloso...

[Miketnsa]

I think Karen's performance is the best performance in history! And normally I don't even like this type of music. If you think there is a better musical performance and arrangment anywhere on Youtube someone please send me a message. And this was live one take performance...Wow

[vincehexum]

@Miketnsa look up "dream theater stream of conciousness live at budokon"

and Karen is my favorite female musician. dream theater owns though..

[postbop]

@Miketnsa - Take #2's usually don't come off very well in live performances :)

[mamabon1075]

@Miketnsa Oh I agree!! I loved her for so long. This is an amazing piece!

[ismailinho89]

@Miketnsa I'm not agree with you , here is a better performance listen : watch?v=RF0ChBe9HHI

you can find more ...

samvel yervinyan is the best violonist in the world just admire

[rhythmic12345]

Amazing duo. One of the best I've seen.

[mishkaEth1]

the sound quality makes it challenging to hear her solo.

Raging Tiger, why get so catty? it's called preference.

and gmfk12lk: Samvel is breathtaking. we shouldn't compare different playing styles and music traditions though.

She's really good, and I also like the fiddler for Celtic Woman. it's WOW.

[marco64galrza]

eres la mejor violinista

[gmfk12lk]

you should all try samvel yervinyan

[TheRaginTiger]

Anyone who says Briggs is the best should SHUT UP.... she's good but not the best..... OK Biatches?

[dick467]

YOU SHUT UP

[TheRaginTiger]

You must be a little biatch.

[10solidrocks]

Karen Briggs is superb! And, so is Shahdad Rohani, of course, but when Karen Briggs plays her violin there is no equal!!!

[ravishethwala]

karen's solo is the best I have ever seen on violin..

[kedma27santos]

Ela é o tipo de violonista / instrumentista

que qualquer um sonha em ser ...

Muito acima da média !!!!

( acima de quem já é muito bom)

Moderna! Maravilhosa! Apaixonante!

[biellinovic]

Sono passati 15 anni da questo concerto e ho avuto l'onore di assisterlo in diretta, ma le emozioni non invecchiano mai***************

[Mani123fard]

Shahdad Rohani I love you! you are the best of iranian violonist! bravo

[menor888]

[115703110]

[Hobbes724]

Karen gets sick wit it

[pdoll96]

When I see this, I expect to see her violin start smoking! She is fantastic.

[marcoselectronik]

karen i loveyouyou are the best

[NejiHyuuga777]

Wow, I've never seen that violinist before, but she has a very distinct style. Very talented, obviously, and very outgoing with her music.

[Mr06Funnybunny]

i love you guyz

awesome!

[mrsrichhood]

Karen Briggs (the unbelievably talented lady in red) performance on the violin is absolutely extraordinary. This rare and precious concert should be shown to all young kids to inspire them musically.

Wow. It is so good it is hard to find enough excellent words that could possibly describe the whole experience.

[plsaquino]

I am with you!

[SpazzzDog]

This CD is what got me into the violin.

[SWFleshman]

[SpazzzDog]

No genius. This very concert also came out on CD.

[strlyt48]

[tutipetros]

[jhoedecri]

[kirtashgaara]

...... amazingly awesome!

[trytotvm]

Kudos to Karen Briggs.... She has enjoyed every single note of her violin.. What a superb performance

[colostboy]

My grams got me hooked on Yanni when i was just a kid. I remember watching this on PBS and was mezmorized, and am glad i can come to Youtube and get my 'fix' when I need some amazing sounds.. This was an awesome show!

[Nikrou]

i prefer the male violinist he seems to play better, ne 1 know his name?

[Hasfast]

Play better...??? D.R.

[Nikrou]

lol what i meant was the male violinist seems to be a better violin player so i was wondering if any 1 knew who he was becuz hes bloody amazing

[Jayfoxpox]

Shahrdad Rohani

[trl614]

I just saw the whole video two nights ago and have not been able to stop thinking about this ladys performances on this concert. I already ordered.

[raiguru]

oooh,,... thanks alot noto,.. I didnt knw that,...

[PhatDave1]

Im glad i have this on video--Would have been nice to have seen the whole song--

Beautiful nonetheless

[raiguru]

I think her name is Shardad Rohani

[notoriousss247]

His name is Rohani , her name is Karen Biggs

[jese1975]

Divine..!!!!!

[thays35244]

Holy crap...what an artist!!!

[samcookeethio]

[Lokahibodyworks]

[ami31ne]

[nilda3]

Estupenda no he podido olvidar su pasion

[wanshei]

[musovit]

JAJA

amo al final los dos violinistas!

wow amo esa parte

[sambadako]

No words

[jinsbae]

1:53-2:00, now people tell me, only a black woman with soul can do that! She plays the cleaniest of all I've heard. It's funny, at 4:59 she looks at Samvel like "shiiitttt, let's throw down brother"

[bupatikuwait]

LOL<....hahahahahahaha....!!!!

u want do that bro?

[jenmuzika]

REMARKABLE !!!

[untouchable999]

love the banter the musicians seem to have on stage

[ykaro2007]

karen the best i love this woman

[BossLadyWhite]

I saw this on PBS before...AWESOMEEEEEEEEE

[blackangel010]

I love this kind of "dialouge" between the two violins... Is great!

They both just play amazing.... You have to love that.

Thank you so much for posting!!

[boazn8]

3:00 Always goosebumps! Nice to listen to, amazing to watch.

[draxuan]

what's the second piece?

[coolram52]

I believe it's called "Within Attraction".

[coolram52]

Hmm, let me correct myself. The third piece is "Within Attraction". The second piece is "The Rain Must Fall". And the first piece is "Keys To Imagination".

[vinilogato]

what is the name of the first song played ? ? ?

[Cachonda6876]

It's called Keys to the Imagination

[SimQueen408]

gotta love karen briggs...she plays from the heart and enjoys it

[poppa8169]

Love this woman!

[ModernFrench]

I just LOVE KAREN BRIGGS!!!

[caribe4045]

Love Briggs for years.....in spite of Yanni

[luizpigeon]

karen is simply the best

[iwatchyou2ube]

yanni creeps me out. he thinks he is fabio or something

[TheRaginTiger]

Yeah man....... exactly what I think about that man... it's the good musicians that accompany him that make the name for him.

[Cachonda6876]

But he writes the songs for all the musicians to play.....So just her deserves the credit for his genius. Just like Kirk Franklin writes all his songs, but it's not him singing its his choir and he always gets credit for that

[orangestoneface]

so you think that long hair on a man is always bad

[gerhang]

she attacks that thing! aggressive.  controlled. i bow down.

[mikeyssmail]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Noette7]

i lover her, she rocks!

[axelpedersen]

wow I'm crying...

[orangestoneface]

but that is taboo

[dwsun]

Just one word.  GIFTED.

[judi609]

I remember watching this on tv and I was in total awe!

[mileenaj]

She's a violin godess!

[dfendle1]

Who is she going against in the second part? Joe Pesci?

[luisf1960]

she is great ,i play the violin gud ,but shee.

wow!!!!!

[finzan]

I'm crying... ;)

[davisvai]

she's amazing and i like her too much, BUT, Samvel Yervinyan, pwns ANY violinist in this world, i wanna see him playin with Yanni again... he's a god \o/

[violindave1979]

He might be technically superior to many violinists, but I think he plays really stiff and way too classical. Karen fuckin JAMS!

[Gugavpm]

this sound is perfect, when i'm hear, i travel in my dreams!!

[Evajnw]

Perfeita

[brNNNbrNNN]

She is the Goddess!!!

[kristinacutie101]

samvel yerzinyzn does this song better... actually he does everything better... no wonder he is all over youtube, concerts, and live television

[violindave1979]

He doesn't play with half the soul Karen Briggs does!

[Pariah314]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and he is good but...she plays this song wayyyyy better imo.  Plus with Karen Briggs, Yanni cd sales where wayyy better, including live performances.

Briggs v. Yerzinyzn Advantage Briggs

[herikamarquess24]

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nota 1000

[tristar2008]

Lo maximo ,impresionante

[VooDooDollMaster]

oh shes great :D

[BlueLacrymosa]

She is playing the hell out of that viola.

[kg4yvw]

Viola?? Huh, Down here we call them a Fiddle  :-)

[Jaesango]

Violin is the fiddle in the south....i don't know why....but that's a viola

[Jaesango]

whoops, nvm, it's too high to be a viola, it's a violin (fiddle)

[kookie118]

amazing~~~~ Never get tired watching this..

[MrProdigy555]

I LOVE KAREN BRIGGS AS OF NOW!!!!!!!

[RSop63]

Wonderful music, I can't help but to smile each time I hear it.

[cocoa8872]

Karen Briggs gave me chills the first time I saw her years ago and she still does. WOW!!

[horacinho]

putaaaa que pariuuU!...toca fora do normalL!

improviso nota 10000!

[cootalie]

karen briggs is a living proof for miracles

[maxo65]

Love, Karen! You're greaaat!

[PATSDESIGNS]

Karen! Yanni! The whole team!

[pteypablo0]

oye como se llama la cancion q toca karen al principio del video la anterior ala de atracion

[sexybuilt12]

i love karen briggs

[BLKPRLZ]

Beautiful....thanks for posting this one!!!!

[yuanyuan713]

The great reason for Yanni's fabulous music is he has so many talented buddys in his team !!!!!!

So great violin play!

[StrawHatMiss]

I love her so much. Her violin playing is so beautiful.

[33leydi33]

Sencillamente LA MEJOR

[wanshei]

Whether you prefer Samvel or Karen i doubt many of the posters here have that kind of passion for anything in thier lives. To be that good at whatever you do requires that level of passion and you can see in the way they play thier instruments, you can see it in thier faces and body language. To see them live will bring the wet stuff to your eyes.

[ali41771]

Right man they are both cool

[libraryquiet]

Oh my God stop it! Stop it! This is nothing but rambling. Someone take away that violin from that woman, please. Yanni couldn't come up with decent music if his life depended on it. This guy cracks me up big time!

[wanshei]

too bad you cant appreciate this, she's damn good. Maybe you like rap or something...hahaha

[ali41771]

you have nothing to do with this please no more comments.

[cricketforever]

orgasmic stuff

too much to handle

[vhakti]

My God!!!! she is amazing!!!

[mariaantoniafiuzza]

good
