[Robinl1278]

I have to say...this sounds DAYUM GOOD!!! LOVE IT!!

[malibu64]

omfg. goosebumps. 

[calliemooremusic]

Fiona singing Patsy Cline, Chris Thile on mandolin... Oh man, what I'd give to be at this show.

[betudlk2no]

you can never beat the original but she came damn close awesome to see timeless music sang this way

[RealMuchaka]

I saw her acceptance speech and didn't hear any reference to sheep or cattle.

[CeeEllePee]

Phenominal! She is phenominal! I've never heard her sing this song until now. I'm in love with this song. and Fiona Apple. How lovely to hear them unite!

[VirgoVixen76]

Fiona is AMAZING!! I was at this concert, so excited to see her that when she came out i cried!!

[hellindc]

Hey, that Chris Thile back there on mando!

[VASINGER]

Well, Patsy Cline was from Virginia, so I assume this was a tribute to her .

[kuipoc]

doesn't she sound a lot like Patsy Cline??? I think so

[duvalditty73]

love love love her

tom wopat duet?

[MissiahR2]

Gosh, It's hard for me to think of anyone who can sing better live. Infact, I think it's impossible.

[12341pyro]

I WAS THERE!! goodness. I miss nickel creek.

[lettherebemorelight]

man, Snagajob.com Pavilion is such a cool name for a venue

[RachelEffingRiot213]

oh goodness, fiona covering the late, great, Patsy Cline, enough said.

[Kankweezler]

wonderful!

[HerschelMatthews]

Fiona would be the greatest vocalist ever... if her sister Maud Maggart wasn't born!!!

[umovelikehoney2]

@HerschelMatthews HA! whaaaat O.O

[Dralcoffin]

She captures Patsy Cline's rich, relatively low voice pretty well if you ask me. The upright bass is pretty awesome, too.

[FungusMossGnosis]

P.S. - look right to the link for "After You've Gone" - it's a much better recording of Fiona.

And search for "Little Fiona Apple" for something really special.

[onlypatsy]

you suck! big time!

[namizmo]

shame on ALL of you for having an opinion... slackers...

[FungusMossGnosis]

If the tables were turned, and Patsy Cline was recorded with this bad an audio, I'm sure they'd be saying Cline sucks now.

[onlypatsy]

@FungusMossGnosis The Cline never sucks ..She was and IS THE BEST .She could not be matched then or NOW!!!

[FungusMossGnosis]

@onlypatsy You reached me via message, I can't reply there for some reason, so I will here again...

P.1:

You say you're a 63 year old who "knows good music when [you] hear it. I was in 2 bands in the 60 to 90's... I don't like to see or hear anyone ruin [Patsy's] beautiful songs"

Okay, ReeCee, There are few things more distressing to Me than a dull, pointless "cover" of a classic, original song.

And yet, I can't sympathize with you, for you are judging Fiona Apple's voice on unfair criteria...

[FungusMossGnosis]

@onlypatsy

P.2:

And you are obsessively ignoring the reality that someone made a cheap recording of an impromptu performance and stuck it on tube (this is the worst recording of Apple on tube!).

This you are comparing it against a studio-recorded masterpiece. Ridiculous. What is the point of maligning an artist you don't understand? Just don't listen to it. That is, if you don't want to expand your understanding of someone by listening to a good recording of their work.

[onlypatsy]

@FungusMossGnosis is she your daughter , or your wife...why are you soo hooked on this person's singi ng...She can't sing Patsy's songs ! Mabe she canb sing other music ... why did she put this o nyoutubre for the whole world to hear if she knew the sound was not good,,,Doesn't make any .sense...

[FungusMossGnosis]

@onlypatsy

1. I have no relation or stake in Fiona Apple's success.

2. She can sing Patsy Cline's song, though - look for a good copy of it, or stop dwelling here. Move on with your life, silly!

3. Fiona Apple doesn't upload videos, her fans do (or, sometimes, non-fans, if they want to make her look/sound bad, as "eks2202" has).

4. What doesn't make sense is your being 63 and behaving like a clueless teenybopper brat. It does not compute. Have a little shame and shuffle off now. Peace!

[FungusMossGnosis]

P.3:

You don't need to get it. If it's not your bag, fine. Let it go.

Fiona Apple is a long way from the mediocrity you suggest she is. To the contrary, over 95% of the singers out there are FAR WORSE than Apple. To say nothing of the fact that she's one of the most original songwriters of her generation.

I imagine you'd also hate the modern versions of Peggy Lee's classic 'Is That All There Is?'.

I happen to believe no one had ever come close to the authoritative Peggy Lee version...

[FungusMossGnosis]

@onlypatsy

P.4 (last one I swear):

...I also like P.J. Harvey's unique version. It's her own style. It's only "worse" automatically if you're coming to it with false expectations.

Listen to the best versions you can find, best recordings. I'm not telling you what to like. People like what they like.

In summery: intolerance sucks, jumping to false conclusions sucks, and neither Peggy Lee nor Fiona Apple suck.

Have a peaceful Winter.

[OnTheFarm1984]

Amazing... Almost as perfect as the original.

[whathoney73]

@Patsyclinefan1 Shame on you for your insult of Fiona Apple. Patsy would not approve. Fiona is obviously a fan of Patsy Cline also.

[monumentfloyd]

@whathoney73 yeah. You gotta give her props. She doesn't butcher the song either like Lee Ann Rimes would.

[onlypatsy]

People who try to sing Patrsy Clkine songs ruine her beautiul songs ...

[mdo0bm]

@onlypatsy you shouldnt type when drunk. i think she captured the spirit of the song and made it hers.

[onlypatsy]

@mdo0bm You gotta be kidding..She's one of the 99% of people on youtube who can't sing ,but think they can...She has no emotion in the song what so ever . She's NOT A SINGER !!

[10centwings]

@onlypatsy Sweeping statements like this ultimately boils down to bigotry. Have a good day.

[mollieluna]

sorry. Loved the Patsy Cline version, and although Ms. Apple obviously respects the tradition here - no.

[whathoney73]

I love Patsy but I love Fiona more. i would so love to see her in concert. Such extraordinary talent.

[onlypatsy]

@whathoney73 You gotta be kidding ,or just bein g nice ,but the girl can'gt sing Patsy cline's song ,ono one can ...She sucks big time :))

[whathoney73]

@onlypatsy I did not say that I liked Fiona's version of "Walking after midnight" better than Patsy's. I said I liked Fiona better and I do. Only Patsy can sing Patsy's song like Patsy sings them. But Fiona is a creative talented genius extraordinaire and Patsy Cline would be quite unhappy with you for saying Fiona sucks. Patsy had much more class than that.

[spock8131]

Move to Canada.

[asthebowlburns]

Well if she said it I believe it

[unclisa]

What I find illogical, too foolish, is that you should waste the time listening to Fiona Apple cover a Patsy Cline song you believe to be shit, and then take the time to comment on it. Obviously, your musical tastes are much too sophisticated to listen to what boils down to a simple country ditty, Deeter, so stick to what you like.

[frankiehiyo]

That is one great version, sung with the same attitude that Patsy cline used.

Great backing also.

[TooKoolKris]

Braindead Sound Machine does a cover that is 100x better than this shit.

[TheInertiaCreep]

@TooKoolKris

While Soundmachine certainly did an interesting cover, to say this is "shit" is asinine, considering it's nearly an identical cover of the original.

[TooKoolKris]

@TheInertiaCreep No. Because what that means is that the original is shit, and therefore so is this. So go fuck your stupid self for not having any sense of logic.

[MagnJas]

It's too bad the quality of this recording is so bad. Would be nice to hear her sing this song clear and crisp.

[thebrownduke]

Holy crap! Awesome!

[cranberrysnickers]

This is my wife...I wish!!!

[qweacecho]

Fiona hermosa divina necsito que me susurres

[theosaka69]

Nice! I am impressed that Fiona did a cover of Patsy Cline - one of the greatest & most unique voices of all time. But Fiona always had depth and soul; which is why she didn't "make it" in the corrupt and vile music industry.

[pushelildaisies]

I'm pleasantly surprised by Fiona's cover of this song. I loved Fiona first, found Patsy later, love ensued, and now combine the two? Love it.

[LittleWhiteDove1100]

Wow! Very good voice, Patsy would be proud!

Amy H.

[SickdayProduction]

Fiona Apple owns that song!!! One of my favorite singers.

[katietyree]

that guy looks a bit like rob pattinson

[definemaybe]

fionna's alive.

[MochizMuM]

wow almost sounds like her!

[ThompsonJJ]

Honestly, i like them both.Fiona gives the song a good twang

[eotto2001]

Amazing!!!

[canucklehead1951]

She's not a patch on Patsy.

[Phazonin]

stop hating on Fiona on here and her after you gone cover. they are absolutely SUBLIME.

[JennyJanine]

she's beautiful????she's the best.....i love her.....one of my hero's...

jennifer janine

[lovelylight88]

she has one of those timeless voices

[softcelltainted22]

she channelled patsy. this was fab.

[myles0fsmiles]

OMG! Maybe your having a hard time finding that tune since it's by AMANDA MARSHALL!

[tenaciousharmonizer]

please some one put BIRMINGHAM ON HERE< it is fiona apples best.!

[babybubbee]

Patsy and Fiona - 2 of my fave ladies in the industry. Altho I think Fiona could have done the Patsy "growl" a few times for nostalgia's sake.

[Dearprudence1606]

I would've loved to have heard her play this song on the piano... I imagine she would have torn it up

and I mean that in a good way.

[blue123439]

not too bad

[TheHonestInjun1]

:) That was fun.... But check out this one... Fiona Apple - Why Try To Change Me Now? It's SOOOooooOOOOoooO Dreamy!!!

[doginsideyourbody]

this is sooo good

[DavidLynch007]

Fiona kicks ass

[707RipOtee]

Sweet...made me want to Sashay.

[PeaceOutChicki]

Who the heck r u?

It makes you sound like your a huge star.

[harryogre]

some sweet fiddle work there.

[oranges1214]

if you like Fiona , check out " I know" live at the largo...amazing

[lrgrjg]

she seems to have gotten more confident now in comaprison to the 90's & she's dignified, a woman..

[pjacobo]

just went to itunes and sampled many WAM's by many artists (none by Fiona), and nothing really compares to the performance in this video (so intense!) - love to see Fiona record this with Nickel Creek (also, Tonight You Belong to Me)

[thejudge99]

A brave choice, this song. She does well, but Patsy nails you to the wall, then buys you a drink.

[ladybird99]

I've never heard fiona apple on the radios in singapore too....its a pity! thank god for you tube!

[spiffyhotrocks]

This is really good. I discovered Fiona on the net but unfortunately i never hear her on the radio here in England:-(

[g0thmoth]

Love Patsy Cline, and although I enjoy many of Fiona's own songs and her voice this is well..painful to listen to. Maybe it's the jam band sound here but this rendition is lacking the depth and feeling it should have been performed with.I have to go listen to Patsy's version right now.

[yidarmy84]

Good rendition but nowhere near Patsy Cline.

[alegna688]

I love fiona. But what is she wearing? lol :)

[captivity]

a dark dress with a wide, light-colored sash

[karaokekills]

fiona is a great singer w/ a lot of soul..too bad most peoples opinion of her was her acceptance speech at an mtv music awards where she called everyone in the music industry and crowd...stupid cattle..and blind sheep..

[crippleslayer]

calling the industry cattle and sheep only makes me like her more

[whathoney73]

@crippleslayer Yeah and when they bitched, whined and threatened her she replied to them in no less than 90 words right on the FRONT COVER of her next album. Now that's some fortitude for such a little lady and I don't just like her. I love her.

[Phazonin]

@whathoney73 i also think she purposefully had a huge pic of her grinning from ear to ear on the cover response to the media branding her as a sullen, depressed, and hopeless. fiona's too cool

[Borba73]

@crippleslayer I couldnt agree more. At least she had the courage to call the industry out for what it is. MTV is destroying the music industry. Not the industry isnt doing it on its own as well.

[luckystar007]

@karaokekills I loved her MTV VMA speech. She might have shocked people but she had that balls to speak the truth. It's why I love Fiona...not only is she beautiful and talented, but she's freakin' smart.

[SenorLongBurrito]

so good ......

[blazing64]

if ppl dont like you, I'll fuckin kill em, ..thats a promise..

[impalapez]

Great!!! Just discovered these guys the other day on PBS "Farmers AlmanacTV"...awesome w/Fiona!!!

[yentihwv]

if only people appreciated fiona more

[masochistmonkey]

OH MY GOD! SHE CAN DO ANYTHING

[Kataang4eva32]

she's pretty good i like the original better though :)

[Dafarmsux1]

I saw Fiona in Milwaukee and I'd have to say she is great to see live. Although we had some jerks sitting in front of us who should have been sitting at the bar.

[dmrosetattoo05]

Fiona sux donkey dick

[abcpabcp]

patsy is alive so fiona

[barquitox]

AMAZING , i can't believe the way she owns any song she sings damnnn love her

[kauaihaole]

patsy would be proud

[Mombuck]

She sure would

[Gaeilgeoir]

I'll all for appreciating her music, but I just wish thos ebitches in the audience would SHUT THE FUCK UP while she's singing!!!! That's so fucking irritating! I was to hear Fiona, not the bitches going "Woooo!!!"...damn bitches can WAIT til she's done the motherfucking song!!!!!!!!!!

[DaveIrie]

Yeah I hate that shit too, I don't think they feel the depth of the songs.

[xevcosmo]

Wow! ayou just know Patsy Cline aproves and is smiling from above!

[Mounhas]

Seems to me that Fiona Apple is one of America's most outstanding gifts to music, she sings with soul, and god she does it well. Love her.

[Somesinger]

she is a vision.  her voice is beyond perfect as well. i just adore her so much

[Anaclon]

She's great live. This seem to be one of the newes recordings of her live on youtube. Does anybody knows if she still plays live, or if she has plans for a new album sometime in the future?

[yanetzin]

she is amazing!! I never got so much into her but now I finally saw her and listened she is a favorite!!!

[maikmiiswet]

ahh this is amazing. I saw this performance live and it was great, and its even better to be able to keep a record of the songs as well as my ticket :) I love fiona apple beyond reason, and she and nickelcreek mixed well...

[Zimah1]

her voice trembles with soul, womanhood and gospel-- she's a genius.

[Zimah1]

heavenly blues...

[smithjt1]

omg, she sounds amazing...

[sdbruns]

Almost like the song was written for her...

[JosephCa64]

Not many singers would dare sing a Patsy song, Miss Fiona does it as well as I've heard!

[fuehdk]

thanks for the upload

[Gaeilgeoir]

Damn, that was good :)

[kevinray1975]

she totally nails it ! it should be a law. nobody but patsy cline and fiona apple should be able to sing this !!! this is a fine piece of work. :)

[Tinymoezzy]

I love Patsy Cline and Fiona Apple. This is the first song I learned how to sing and play I could not be more pleased.

[jerrypwjr]

I love it! Her angst works with this song!

I love her!!!

[hazeleste]

i love her at this stage! toned, healthy arms, not creepy-skinny anymore.

[brighteyedblasphemer]

Nickel Creek, Ms. Apple, and one of the first songs I learned when I was a child. And I'm stuck in Northern Michigan during all of this? The universe is cruel.

[elchuckko]

Patsy would be proud! FANTASTIC!

[piperlee]

I love her. I saw them perform this in Baltimore, MD on 8/2/07. :)

[amywaz]

awesome! thanks for posting this!

[ohkaythenva]

you said it fuzmiq

[fuzmiq]
