[vivianmari]

3:09 -3:40 and wow .. had me dumbstruck

[softball10]

Tuning during a song and making it sound awesomeee just completely blew my mind. I went back to 1:35 like 6 times to believe that's actually what happened.

[firegrrrrl]

i cant say enough about this, probably my favorite live performance that ive seen...........just amazing, you cannot watch this and say shes not utterly and completely talented........not to mention the best poet of our time, just perfect

[superulz]

read about her in this book called hard love. just had to hear her. shes amazing!

[feythinsane]

Love that book. :)

[RudieGirlSka]

"you can catch up on your sleep when im gone"

[bellelover101]

I LOVE the Philly Folk Festival. I go every year, and I saw this show. =D AWESOME!

[theSodiumKid]

so amazing, what a beautiful person.

[Paige23fan]

does anyone know what ani does when one of her fake nails breaks during a concert?

[Fierceflawless42]

That's actually funny that you say that, cause she played here in Indy on April 29th, and she announced after the first song that she already broke a nail, but she just kept on playing and of course, as always, she rocked my face off.

[kittkatt032]

found this by mistake. guess i'll just keep clicking.

[quickmorris]

definitely one of the best youtube videos of ani performing live

[thenscream]

wow this is a great song... i feel like i already know more ani songs than i know what to do with, yet it seems like everyday i learn about a new one that i cant live without...

[Temthasys2ndAccount]

Don't you just love that feeling. :D

She's amazing.

[billytabouli]

great shootin' tex. energy of the experience transfers through your kinetic videography. video intensity matches lyrical intensity. thanks and cheers.

[jimdoire]

Rare is the guitar player who can making tuning in the middle of the song PART of the song. That was the most musical tuning I've ever heard. I've been playing for twenty plus years and I could not have done it and to be honest, I'd never seen it done so cooly. This chick is tough.

[xis333]

yup! she handled the guitar-going-out-of-tune thing like a true pro!

[bockus789]

who could get up and walk around during that performance? that's what I'm wondering

[marleyisgnarley]

yeah... the tuning in the middle of the song thing.. i just.. love her. id go gay for that woman.

[trevorduvall]

too many drugs or not enough??

what the hell?? good lord!!

[grungefreak10]

What if I said it is "too many." If you take ambien (a legal sleep medicine) but don't go to bed right away, the music actually sounds worse, not better"

[grungefreak10]

She is one of the most fantastic performers to come out of Buffalo.

[skyzefawlun]

She is one of the most fantastic performers to come out of our generation.

[LennyBurridge]

Great guitar player, great singer and she is smokin' HOT!!!! Notice how she tuned her guitar in the middle of the song:)

[glynnrose]

simply...simply..pure genius...and a pleasure to watch and listen...

[HybridGirl23]

looove her vocals, music, and lyrics... she's amazing.

[glagadec]

Ani is THE BOMB!!! Period!! Fantastic writing, vocals, and playing. If you can't dig that...plug up the hole in your soul. She is the best of what I call "no folking around" acoustic music.She's a goddess!!Make what you want of it.

[gnonymous]

Does anyone know actually how to play that? I've searched all the tab sites (via google) and they all point to the same useless tab. I see she's capoed the 1st fret, and can tell it's in Fm, but what's the tuning (nonstandard)? Thanks for any useful information.

[krys8287]

I can't help, but to start singing and dancing everytime I hear this song. I love it.

[dokumentary]

Damn - I had no idea. I get the hype about her now. New Fan here! Right On, Ani!!!!

[flyinhigh00]

wow, how does she do it? she is the most amazing musician i've ever seen or heard!! I LOVE ANI D!!:)

[taytay71092]

that was an incredible song.  i love her. the lyrics are so amazing.

[andeejam]

Really fantastic guitar playing

[spheenx]

there's just something about the way she sings that annoys me.

[ericheretoday]

why is it that people like you write shit about musicians on YouTube? I mean they don't heckle you guys at McDonald..

I really hate the way this guy flips his burgers...

[AthensAnna]

because it's a free country?

I mean, I love Ani, but why not welcome someone who doesn't...yet? Maybe he/she will see the light :)

[musicebf]

Ani's fans are so respectful; they know exactly how to cheer mid-song and stop on cue so they can actually here her perform. The last live concert I went to, I could barely hear any music because the fans were so loud.

[lovegod1974]

we get it ani- u think u r ugly - get over it

[krys8287]

She doesn't think she's ugly. Remember, you may be intellegent, but when you say things like that, all people can see is your ignorance.

[Immaruka]

Just beautiful... I love you Ani!!!!

[isatannaed]

Incredible.

[stokesjl]

god....watch those hands!!! she's amazing.

[kimberlyclearwater]

how does she do it.

[jacobwolkenhauer]

That's usually true... I remember reading/hearing somewhere that she plain ol' forgot this one after not playing it for a couple years, and just made up a new guitar part. =)

[HadiyahJoy]

What is the name of this song? some1 please help.

[Bruckner79]

Names And Dates And Times, its the first song on "Puddle Dive", and it sounds quite different here.

[feverheadmusique]

i think she changes the songs so much like this to try and throw all the idiots screaming along in the audience off. i mean look at the video of overlap on here, you can tell shes having a hard time making it through because she is fighting the audience!

[johnnyfontaine]

yeah, it must be incredibly difficult to feel the song your playing when everyone knows what you're gonna say already.

[krys8287]

You're an idiot. That's all I have to say dude.

[HadiyahJoy]

What is the actual name of this song? Please help

[dveinpudlswithme]

names and dates

[cuna2525]

ani always leaves me speechless.

[galadriel6969]

jesus! she just leaves me wanting....

[galadriel6969]

uh, no....try again.

[fulllikeaplate]

What an awesome encore.

Ani is simply amazing

[doreesky]

Sweeet! Thanks!

[donnerbrandpear]

She seems happy here. I like happy Ani performances.

[PhobiaphobicX]

Love the little mid-tuning there.

Perfect, cheers for this!

[wildfishonthefly]

Off the wall..that guitar sound is sick. Ani Rips!!!

[EvilCosbySweater]

This is one of the most amazing performances of a song Ani has ever done.

[nlytnd]

it's beyond haunting to be able to see someone who is actually talented and deserves the fame they've earned; isn't it?

[Timmeyy]

What an awesome rendition of an awesome song. I love it!
