gutsy girl! stepping into one of the best tso songs and following a vocalist of daryl's caliber,,,,,,,fantastic job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone else still got chillbumps after hearing this??????
I'm also used to Daryl's version in my head. But this woman did do justice to this song. I enjoyed her version and am glad that they brought it back to the tour. Daryl would have been proud of her. Daryl past on right before the 2005 tour. Whoever said they saw him perform it right before he died got their facts wrong. Unless they phrased their statement wrong.
People, because someone has an opinion about this woman singing MBB does not make them a raciest. God some people are ignorant. I for one did not care for the version, still have DP's version playing through my head.
Our first TSO show we saw Daryl perform this. One month later he was gone. Glad to see this song back. Saw them in Raleigh last night and Erika did Daryl right! I know he was smiling down from heaven when he heard this!
Great job Erika. Every word brings hope. DARYL WOULD BE PROUD. Great singers don't want songs to die they pass the torch to the next generation and he could not have placed it in better hands.
that is ridiculous to say "out of respect for" ...not to sing it.. there are thousands of artists who are no longer with us and of course they would want their legacy and music to live on though other artists. She is amazing and I searched and searched for this and SO glad I found it! And I dont care if it is not incorporated into the story... I have seen previous years' shows and this is much better ! :)
Well said Dakan17. I also did not see this coming but found myself hanging on every word. Could practically see Daryl standing there smiling proudly. Thank you Erika.
Thank you SO much for posting this. I saw them 11/ 14 / 10 and it caught me completely off guard , cause i never expected to here it live again. I know the song didn't fit the Story line of the show , but it doesn't matter. It's such a great song and she did such a wonderful job. Daryl would be proud. and it's great to see it back in the live show again . We miss you Daryl !!! (R.I.P)
for anyone who went to the show in the last few weeks, what number is this song in the setlist of the story? it doesnt fit the story at all in my opinion.
this took me forever to find! i saw them last weekend and i loved this song... how old is erika, because she is absolutely amazing! she has an excellent voice, i admire it
I don't think anyone is denying the fact that this young lady is a wonderful singer. Afterall, TSO doesn't hire poor singers. We're just hesitant about them choosing to bring back Music Box Blues. I thought TSO had retired that song out of respect for Daryl. Some bands do that. AC/DC doesn't do "It's A Long Way To The Top" at concerts out of respect for Bon Scott. I think MBB should have stayed out of the setlist. Bring back "Boughs Of Holly" instead.
It was great to his DDP's old song. It was great surprise to hear the song again, and yes Erika did an awesome job. I agree with MrSnookies, DDP would had been very proud.
Daryl would have been happy about this, he would be sad that idiots like you would make fun of a girl saying mean things like this. She reads these comments I bet... Would Jon Lennon be mad if someone sung imagine? No! And by the way, the song gives hope to people in this audience. Not all, but some do need it... I know I do. Imagine if you were her, then tell me how you would feel. If you say you don't give a damn, well god knows the truth.
I had tears rolling down my face when I saw her sing this.. and I still can't figure out why.

Saw her live in Youngstown. For her not to sing this song would be a crime. The girl next to me was crying before she gave her a standing ovation.
