They did a 90minute set, then were called back for a 15 minute encore.
I have often seen/heard singers who ask the audience to sing, and they (the singers) shut up for a CHORUS or 2 (usually NOT the 1st time around... make SURE we know the words.)
Several times, Indigo Girls let us carry the singing for the VERSES - and we didn't let them down...
And - although they didn't shut up for their 1st encore song ("Ghost") - MOST of us sang along with them for the WHOLE song.
I love all of their music and I wish some day that I can write music just as powerful as they do! Id give anything to just hang out with them for a day! To me the Indigo Girls stand for everything womyn should be: Strong, Smart and Bold!!! That in itself is beautiful!
Can you imagine them making this video and just trying to keep a straight (no pun) face during the shoot without busting out laughing at each other?! What a hoot!
LOL!!! It's because they look like Republican Senators. I don't know what the heck that means, but it just came out...ugh, sorry IG! I think you're both incredible!!! Just some humor.
I agree completely...never thought I'd see the Indigo Girls in drag! Of course, it's a part of the political (re)interpretation of the song: this is what lesbians would look like, were it up to the "compassionate conservatives". Great video, despite (or because of) the ick factor.
i LOVE the indigo girls, and this song is great. i love the idea of the video, but i'm not gonna lie--seeing them dressed this way CREEPS ME OUT!!! LOL
Wow. This adds a whole new level of meaning to the song, and I love the way it's done with purely visual imagery. You don't have to come right out and say anything to make clear what a failure the Bush administration has been. Captivating.
I'm not sure I've ever seen Amy in a skirt! *grin*
Wow, now I know what A&E will look like when they're much older! Also didn't know Emily played Taylor guitars, thought just Martin? Nice, tho. Great party debris,btw.
Creative interpretation of a song which, on the surface, is about unrequited love. The Hilary/Barbara Bush outfits may be shocking at first, but that's the point, isn't it. The IGs have played dress up before: see their wonderful Galileo video.
they're SUPPOSED to look awful--that's their point: dressing like uptight right-wing bitches is disgusting as are the people who actually dress like that. it's perfect. i love you guys!!
great lyrics. but the pearls and Bush thing.. didn't connect for me. besides, what Republican from TX would sweep his own shit up? Better that Bush becomes "Dixie Chicked" and let women of worth do something reasonable with the planet.
I have always been a big fan and I love this cd but I like them better without the makeup and pearls. I understand how it fits the video it just does not fit them. Regardless they are still always in my player!!
BEAUTIFUL .. i love the classic look of the video .. great idea .. i love you 2 .. your awesome ... you have a great crew for this upcoming CD project .. i'm VERY EXCITED for you .. LoVe n LuCk 2 Ya .. your friend Jeff
what the hell?! I thought the first vid was great because they had captured the IG live feel so well and now they do this! it looks like a parody really... disappointing
Until I saw this video, I've never made it through this song without tears welling up...today in the car when I listened to it, all I could picture was Emily's bouffant/headband combo and Amy in a skirt and it made me chuckle... :)
Ok I love my girls and I love this song but this video sucks it's boring and the makeup and crap! I'd rather see them just play and sing into a mic than this
I LOVE the Indigo Girls and this is a clever video but, did they purposely intend to have the word "accomplished" spelled wrong? (on the banner on the floor at the end of the video)
On her website, Reneé O'Connor recommended this video from her favorite duo which was directed by her friend Eric Escobar. The Indigo Girls has been a favorite of mine for a long time and I have to agree with Reneé that this video is great. The song is beautiful (as usual) and the video is very clever in how it interpreted the lyrics as a political commentary. Amy & Emily's harmonies are as beautiful as ever.
I found this song out from going to Renee O'Connor's site and I just heard the song and it is absolutely amazing. I really liked it. This is a good band.
Seriously, those girls dressed up like Republicans...a funny site, indeed. I think this is the most beautiful, empowering break up song I've ever heard, and there's no one I'd rather break up with George W. Bush.
You said it perfectly! I absolutely love the end and this image of 'a stiff drink' of memories...and the need for coffee afterwards. Love the makeup and outfits--so anti IG that it works brilliantly. Emily dripping with pearls...I think Amy still looks like herself, just decorated differently. ;) Emily's hairstyle and makeup remind me of Tina from the L Word...
Nice video! I've been a fan of the Indigo Girls for over ten years and this is the first time I've seen either of them in a dress! Emily kind of looks like Hillary Clinton.
Love you Indigo Girls. You are truly the top.
