The Sundays - Finest Hour (live)

[JoelLustre]

Oh my.

[tacomadc]

She is beautiful, but when you hear that voice you don't even care what she looks like!

[nilbog44]

i got this tape at about the same time i got my drivers permit. i remember playing it every time my mom took me to practice driving. i would kill to go back to that time period. sigh.

[TimeForTimer]

@nilbog44 wouldn't we all? Still waiting for the Sundays' 4th album.......

[jrbgeog]

Thanks for posting all these great videos.

[AfanofTheSundays]

Dear Harriet this is so very beautiful, we adore you and dream you would sing for us once more.

[UncleHooli]

Haha! @ 1:20 she does this cute head shake because she's had a bit of front monitor problem in hearing the vocals and the build up to that great chorus is here. She just crushes it!!! Awesome! If I didn't know The Sundays and saw this, it would make me buy everything. Rare that you get someone that can sound dead on every time live as they do in the studio. More impressive when factoring a shitty mix.

[Forgetfulknotts]

Please come back. Your disappearance is so symbolical of the good music that came from the 90's. I love you Harriet.

[chiefredbottom]

Harriet Wheeler, Billie Holiday and Karen Carpenter all have this mesmerizing quality to their voice that makes me stop what I'm doing and just sit there listening in absolute rapture.

[joelnichole]

My goodness, what vocals!

[donlincoln2]

Yes. Come back Harriet!

[divinity4infinity]

fabulous - she was meant to sing :D

[mackeson71]

Best voice, ever!

[newellgirl]

Wonderful..triumphant..bliss..­.defiant..homesick...getting a break...the underdog wins...loved your work Harriett..The Sundays..brilliance...

[audrey9864]

@comebackharriet Cool then :) have always loved her

[audrey9864]

I'm not sure that vocal is live, it's a little bit perfect??????

[comebackharriet]

@audrey9864  Of course Harriet is singing this live!

[Sixxer7]

@comebackharriet You can tell it's live. Harriet's voice is just that spectacular.

[djkitt]

@audrey9864 That's how good Harriet is. Like Bjork, she's got the vocal power that few people have. She's a pure, natural signer, and I could listen to that voice all night.

[ascrodin]

@djkitt Before I knew who did this song, whenever I'd hear it, I'd swear it was a Bjork song.

[hdm67]

@audrey9864 If it sounds perfect then that shows what an amazing singer Harriet is.

[keithadlermusic]

@audrey9864 It's live. I've heard this song a million times, she's just a great performer. There are videos on here where they layered in the track from the album, but this is legit.

[DJdext]

@audrey9864 You must have not ever seen or heard them live. They are perfect!!!! :P

[DJMarcO138]

@audrey9864 Yea, you can hear little changes that are definitely live...but damned if it ain't close, I can see how you'd doubt it. Sinead O'Connor is the same way - she's almost too good live to believe it.

[bennyvolance]

We have to be thankful for such music and performance. I am.

[takadi]

@audrey9864

yea she pretty much is perfect, lol

[AfanofTheSundays]

According to the arithmetic tour list, this was the last performance.

:(

[AfanofTheSundays]

She might look tired, but what a performance and she still looks as cute as ever.

Go to my channel for more unique Sundays videos and recordings.

[WittleMunchkin]

Hmm I want a cd of her songs :(

[AfanofTheSundays]

[eyeCme]

The voice of an angel....WOW !!!

[Snotra]

I would make love to this woman constantly!

[AfanofTheSundays]

Just fantastic!

[stelfox1510]

Does anyone think there will ever be a Sundays revival

[trooperJac]

I absolutely adore the ending of this song.

[lxlandia]

NEVER NEVER do I tire of listeing to The Sundays. There are magical at every listen. It will be a great joy if we ever get another release from Harriet and the gang.

[BorlandRIP7]

Magic moment , beautiful song..thanx

[comebackharriet]

I was walking through Home Depot on Sunday, and heard 'Finest Hour' over the PA. I was shocked! And about 10 seconds into the song, someone turned up the volume. :)

[108OneOhEight]

home depot surprises me sometimes. i heard a jeff buckley song there once too!

[lxlandia]

Jeff Buckely ROCKS!!!....such talent gone so quickly.

[birdsaw]

that made me giggle...how sweet!

[demurer]

where is Home Depot?

[shaltibalti]

@comebackharriet yeah, I was in Home depot - I'm  brit away from home - and I couldn't believe I heard "Finest Hour on the PA". I hung around the indoor plants just so I could hear the beautiful end of the song - its finest hour!

[takadi]

@comebackharriet

OMFG that is where I first heard the song! A week ago I was walking through home depot when I heard this and I fell madly in love. I was trying to listen to the lyrics so I could find the song online but the song ended and I was seriously depressed for the next week! Then when I was walking in Home depot again, they were playing it again! I finally was able to hear a verse and that's how I found the song! I bet Home depot has a soundtrack they play everday

[alvasor]

I love your voice..so peaceful... you sing very very nice.. comeback!!!

[texasgabe]

Happy Birthday Harriet !!!

[skrason]

God, that outro is brilliant.

[liquidrunning]

Yes, do come back Harriet!

[icarrus4u]

"And much as I like to stay. Oh, I just want to go home" Love that!

[LoveMusic720]

Watching this, I got chill bumps and wept. So many memories. Such a pure, beautiful voice.

"I just want to go home"

[juniperglimpse]

Her slow whole-note trill on "you're too young" always kills me.

[soidog5]

I dunno myself, steele - I never did see them myself; she does seem a little intense in this performance, but her pitch and enunciation are absolutely perfect, and she stays true to the original recording; a little improvisation is fine sometimes but I do think some artists get a little carried away with their voices when they do live shows; this is a fine performance, I think - she has a marvelous voice and I do miss her.

[steele66]

im one of their biggest fans, saw them twice, etc, but i dunno.....and this might explain why they just went away to raise a family have no one has heard a peep since.......but it does not look like she is having fun up there.....seems like a chore to her.

[comebackharriet]

steele66, I'd also say Harriet seemed a bit worn out from the S&S tour. I think this London concert was their last one after coming back from the U.S. You have to remember Harriet was bringing along her daughter on the tour too. That probably made it difficult to unwind and have a few beers on the tour bus. ;) She seemed much more carefree and relaxed on the Blind tour.

[martinofm]

Thanks for the post.

Her vocal pitch is great live.

[tubehead357]

Love at first listen!

[holeymoley24]

I wish I could find more videos of their live performances with better sound quality. I wish that I could see them live!!
