There were lots of signs at this concert saying not to record any portion of the show. If you are truly a a fan, you will remove this video from YouTube since it is a theft of their intellectual property.

Thank you for your impassioned attempt to enlighten me, but you may want to check your ticket stub for restrictions, or the actual taping policies of the artists.

It's unfortunate you don't see how this clip helps promote the artists and Roanoke. That said if management suddenly reverses and decides they no longer support online artist promotion, the fans would capitulate.

In the meantime, while you wait for such action, I suggest you go get a nice glass of wine and listen to Patty.

[dthompson1194]

You're right, they are new artists and need you to help "promote" their music. Nice rationalization. I love Patty but I will pay to listen to her and all other artists.

[iskew]

If you think these artists don't need promotion, perhaps you didn't notice which dates on this tour did not sell out their venues.

Tours are the lifeblood of interaction with fans as well as a primary revenue source. This video and others will hopefully encourage more people to go to their shows. I'm not sure why you would think sharing this video would be a mercenary action. You'll be aghast at the tape trading community these artists have fostered over the years.

Will you please stop posting this gruesome sh*t on all the comment sections for the different versions of this song!

"Jesus says mother I couldn't stay another day longer

Flys right by me and leaves a kiss upon her face

While the angels are singing his praises in a blaze of glory

Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place"

This song is about Motherhood in general, and the Madonna, mother of Jesus, in particular. It's not about some filicide.

Please respect it as such.

Thank you so much for posting this! I'd give anything to attend one of these shows, but they are nowhere near me. This is one my favorite songs of all time.

Again, thanks!

Any idea where to buy the DVD? That's how I stumbled across this YouTube video, but I would really like to buy the DVD (if there is one). If anyone knows where I can find it, please reply to this post.

Thanks!

After discovering Patty on You Tube, I purchased her CD "A Kiss in Time" and went to see her in concert when she toured with Emmy Lou and Shawn Colvin. I often use You tube when deciding which CD or DVD to purchase next. THis is a great medium for artists to get their music to the masses. That's my thought.

one of the greatest songs ever written.

BITE ME, dthompson!

i'm from Pittsburgh and she sells out FAST here. i have all her cd'ssand some bootlegs and i still go see her every chance i get. what a treasure she is!!!

I've been to Patty Griffin concerts in both Chicago and Pittsburgh, and they were always sold out shows. They were also excellent shows. She is a spectacular singer and songwriter and I will happily pay to see her anytime she's within reach. And when she chooses to publish DVDs of her shows, I will gladly buy them as well. These clips on YouTube aren't going to deter me in any way. If anything, they serve to remind me of just what an amazing artist she really is.

@iskew I hadn't heard of this tour until I saw this video. If they do it again, I'll buy a ticket. So it worked on me.

Patty Griffin is an artist who performs below the radar, but what a radar, she is a jewel that has not been mined yet. Keep her this way, for she does not know what awaits her at the top. She is amazing, and her music is heard by those who chose to dig. BEAUTIFUL

I guess I should have noticed years ago how much Emmylou influenced Patti Griffin. This is almost an impersonation with her sitting right next to Emmy. That all being said they all sound shrill, nasally, and out of tune, par for the course. Barely getting but a few notes. Ah to be an elite folkie the ultimate career. The collaborative talents of these four people almost overshadows theirmusic talents
