No free booze at this event, FYI. Maybe the people were chatting because they had 2 hours of drinking waiting for Shawn to start. In the venue, the chatting was much less noticeable, I'm sorry my camera picked up so much.

For some of you people who seem to think she's a nobody, or doesn't have a large following, she's a grammy winning singer and songwriter, whos been around for a LONG time, most of the best, players, and best singers, aren't widely known, because they sometimes don't fit the "commercial mold", like some record exec's want them to, not realizing that its their Uniqueness thats makes them so appealing, I've loved and listened to Shawn since the mid to late 80's, when she released her "Live 88" cd,

Well, I guess that's what it means to be rich - buy something precious and then shit on it.

What an amazingly rude crowd.

I hope Shawn won't be doing too many more of these.

Shame on all of you in the audience. (ever look up the etymology of audience?)

Shawn's the best...period. There are many established singer/songwriters of her generation that would grant her that but I made up my own mind based on voice (timbre/tone) guitar playing, songwriting, presentation, grace, courage, just such a mesmerizing presence she has if you've ever had the pleasure of being up close...especially in the old days when her level of talent would just floor you cause you knew you'd never heard anything like her....it's her spirit that affects me the most though..

@duosport1 Excellent comment. You're 100% correct!!

This is perhaps the most underated song ever recorded. I have all of Shawn's albums and this is likley among my top 5 fave songs of hers. She is truly an amazing writer.

This song stops me in my tracks every time I hear it. And I've heard it about 1,000 times. Jesus H. Christ On A Codfish but that woman can write/play/sing.

(Although I still maintain that the "audience" to which she is playing is the reason why Remington manufactures the 870 Model 12 Gauge shotgun.

SHUT THE F*&^$K UP, YOU A(*&HOLES, OR "MR. SPARKY" HERE IS GONNA START "SINGING ALONG WITH SHAWN."

Maybe she's just not 'chic' enough? No poses, no hype, no fancy hairdo... JUST music! Hard to sell obviously. I only know I saw her live five times and those concerts where among the best I've ever seen. LOVE the music and especially the guitar playing... Divine. Thank you for the music! I also witnessed (only half voluntarily) some of those UK hype acts (yawn)... Note even remotely in one leage....

they need a sect called colvinism for such admirers

[DEBAification]

or not know when to quit talking........so many questions................conce­rns..........condolences......­just to be a friend to someone who has been down some troubled roads like myself

[DEBAification]

This crowd must be a group of self-serving infidels who have no appreciation of the true talent before them......and yeah, you're right there is no no no no comparison with the junk that the young ones are putting out nowadays..... she is a true talent...... yeah maybe they should have gaga before them.......yeah right.........what does age have to do with talent anyway?

[forabetterfuture]

I could say the same thing ! Friends gave me the CD for my birthday (beautiful gift !) and since that day... wow... she's amazing !!
