The more I hear this the better it seems! Even by Emmylou's standards this is out of this world. Also it reminds me more than anything of the famous Jan Van Eyck painting of the Arnolfini Wedding Portrait. The same luminous tranquillity and purity. Thanks so much for finding it!
Such a beautiful cover. It transcends genres and time...from the McCartney's hand to Emmylou in 1979. Brian Ahern's guitar is flawless and the end of the song pulls my heart from my chest.
@parachuteboi Tonation? Get yourself a dictionary. Also, there is no e in awful! If you could read English, you would realize that ALL the other compliments are laudatory!
An artist reveals so much when they sing covers. Some think they're greater than the song and a few can grace the song with insights. This is a masterclass - note also Tracy Huang, soft and delicate, without sentimentality.
The concert was Aug 4, 1979. Emmylou delivered her daughter Meghann Sep 9, 1979. There's a great video on Youtube of George and Little Feat playing "Dixie Chicken" accompanied by Emmylou and Bonn Raitt.
I've never been a fan of cover-versions, especially of the beatles, but their are 2 I think are outstanding; Elton John's 'Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds' and this. Just Beautiful
WOW!!! Now THIS is rare! Brian Ahern, a pregnant Emmylou, and a performance of this cover....she often performs For No One, but leaves Here, There, and Everywhere in the treasure chest. Thank you SO much for posting!
whow a very rare moment! Brian Ahern , Emmylous husbad then...playing guitar on this song!! never seen that before........And I belive Emmylous pregnant here with her second doughter Meghan Ahern
I would kill for the whole concert!!

Nicolette Larson

Little Feat with Linda Ronstadt & Bonnie Raitt
I wonder/Runaway Bonnie Raitt

Poor,poor pitiful me Linda Ronstadt with Nicolette Larson
Quality I recall being pretty terrible but could upload if anyone interested and prepared to put up with that limitation.....

She's got a horrible voice for this song- I'm not sure who she is but she should've kept to baby-making, bless her.

Loss Of Bears
Caring for all that we share in this affair,
You and I travel toward life with a fare,
For life gives and takes seeming not fair,
Leaving us sometimes with tears and cares.
Tomorrow is the day for making our repairs,
And returning our love after loss of bears.

I'm a big Beatles fan, but Emmylou just nails this song so well. As if it was written for her voice.
It gives me the chills everytime i hear it~

@Cai77 Yeah, it's as every song has been written for her! Even the worst song could sound great with her!
