@5934931 Point State Park, Pittsburgh, Pa., June 11, 1994.

Race mixing lesbian! Great voice though

[denknee]

@RRNYC1998 Sounds like you have social issues. Good taste in music tho.

[mbertr1071]

cant tell who is singing with laura? is tha tjoni or valerie carter ,,and are the other two clydie king and vanetta fields?

[denknee]

@mbertr1071 Hi mbertr1071. Laura had different singers at different times, but at this particular show it was Dian Sorel on the left, Diane Garisto (it appears that she is next to Laura, but that's just the angle of the camera shot) and Diane Wilson on the far right . She introduces them if you go to the "Stoned Soul Picnic/Save the Country" clip.

Thank you so much for posting this live footage which is so rare. Laura has been my heart and soul for over 40 years. Of all the artists on my iPod, I listen to her most of all. My heart broke when she passed. As someone else said. "Thank God for you Tube!" Oh, and RRNYC1998 - you are a malaka!

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video...I've been a fan for over 40 years, too. It's about time the music world recognized what a talent she was (RR hall of Fame). We always knew.

this lady was a great song writer. Wow.

The more ugly we realize racism is, the more we allow ourselves to see the great beauty of this eternal voice.

@RRNYC1998 , You're just jealous cause she gets that juicy black pussy every night, meanwhile you have to play with yourself

[SpazChat]

If this is supposed to be pleasant, why am I scratching my ears and getting goose bumps?

[farmyardflavours]

Thank you so much ! i love all of these laura nyro uploads : )))))

[zaitesushion]

@pretorious700 Exactly.

[pretorious700]

@zaitesushion People actually argue about who is better? What nonsense. They were both brilliant.

[vampyros1]

I really don't like what Laura did with the chord changes on 'Blowin' Away' here (a great song), but I guess she'd gotten tired of playing it the same way after so many years and availed herself to 'artistic license'. Still, any footage of her is great to see.

[zaitesushion]

Anyway as a fan of both women I'm really sick of the way certain fans need to compare the two and pit them against each other when they were/are master artists who produced completely different work. Laura would have never produced an album as good as Hejira, and Joni would have never produced an album as good as Eli & the 13th. Get over it.
