I will go to my deathbed saying: Nanci Griffith was/is one of the most under-rated, yet one of most influential, and uniquely great an artist, in both America and Europe, over the last 4 decades. 4 decades now since her first LP release. 4 decades of soothing, moving, angelic Music. Kudos to all of NG's work; over her lifetime, and for making my own life a bit gentler, and kinder ~!~ Proof Angels do exist on Earth, if but for a short while.
We lost Nanci yesterday. Though now she's sadly underrated her legacy will grow and increase over time. She's an American treasure. Rest in Peace beautiful Nanci.
Strangely enough, according to her Wikipedia page, she had actually died about a week before they announced it. Apparently it was her desire to wait to tell people.
@@sneakerfacevids441 No, that was an error and the Wikipedia page has been corrected. The press release from her management actually meant that there will be no more announcements about the cause of her death until a week has passed.
Her stories just seemed so funny on this set. I really laughed out loud a number of times. So great. And I think she would look cool dressed in anything. All she has to do is smile and she is beautiful.
She was so fresh and so young here. Before she got her teeth fixed. I only notice because I had mine fixed around that time too. The years flew by. I miss her.
I suspect the dental work came just before she recorded Little Love Affairs. You can hear a delightful little lisp on many of those songs, which she worked to lessen on later albums.
Love and comfort to her family..... She flies high with the white crown sparrow....how her music has comforted so many of us....in our times of need....clear sweet voice....will be missed more than we can say
Nanci is and has been a favorite of me and my wife for 30 years now. We named our only daughter Mary Margaret after Nanci's song. Saw her and John Prine in concert in Ft Worth in the early 90's.
UAL320 She performed quite often in Taos, New Mexico in the 80's and it was always up front and personal! Consistantly one of the best performers to see in person!!! Townes Van Zandt performed on that very same stage as did Lyle Lovett! The Kachina Lodge and John Brown was the promoter! Right up the road is Red River that also hosted so many greats. Some of the best years of my life.
I play nancis songs,good soul shining.when she first come to Telluride ,her Texas talk,couldn't understand it,we heard her songs though,she's an artist.love how she honors Kate Wolf,thanks for this glimpse of her younger self,flipped my kids out rockin to if I had a hammer,guess she ❤as a kindergarten teacher.trail blazer
My face is sore from grinning. Love this lady. Has any performer ever played like they loved being there more than her? I don't think so. Beautiful. Would have loved to meet her.
I love many of her songs, the pure strong quality of her voice, her tender rendering of being alive, steeped in southern expressions. Townes Van Zandt said her version of Tecumseh Valley is the best cover of one of his songs. One Fair Summer Evening is one of my favorite albums. Love at the Five and Dime is a treasure of American songwriting. Her singing Deadwood, South Dakota gets me every time. ** Thx, Nanci ~
Nanci Griffith is a wonderful artist, composer, musician and singer. When Nanci sings "There is a light beyond these woods (Mary Margaret)" her eyes got wet and shone with light. Nanci's entire face appears illuminated... She is adorable.
It is sure that like a great artist Nanci could entertain an audience by herself, with her guitar. Nick, if I understand well,, did you play with Nanci before she became famous? who knows what wonderful memories you will have!!
Yep, some fond memories from Middle Earth. I left there in 1981 to go have a conventional life & raise a family & never really looked back. From a distance, I was pleased to watch Nanci go big & take some mutual friends along with her. I do regret never getting back in touch; but, hey, we are all saints of circumstance; and sometimes all we can do is continue to sing the songs. So, yeah; fare well, Girl. Ya done good.
I just loved nangi Griffith',s spirit and her music.sjevleft us a treasure trove of beautiful and heartfelt songs. The first time I saw her was years ago in the old Northampton movie theatre. She was with John prime.she wasn't famous them but I could see that she would be soon What a wonderful songwriter. I'll miss her being here,on earth.julia b.
When my boys were little, we listened to a lot of railroad music. On cassettes. Around the house and unforgettable road trips spanning the West. "Across the Great Divide" was one of the favorites of my older lad Nick. Godspeed Nanci, you stunning beauty of a singer songwriter songbird folkabilly artist and wonderful human you.
Nanci talks so gently and also defers to other musicians in groups. Then she blasts her talent on her own. Super talented class act. If we could see her run her songs over a red brick floor in Austin, I'd fly. If Keen and her other buddies joined in, I'd die happy.
How time flies. Happy Birthday tomorrow Monday July 6th. Nanci. We appreciate all the blissful music you've provided and thanks in advance for the new tunes to come.
Bittersweet - I JUST connected with Nanci's music, and she's gone - off playing with John Prine, somewhere. Mary Margaret, if you're still with us, here's to you still seeing the light beyond your woods. Otherwise, give our best to Nanci & John. Brought me to tears. She was such a gem - beautiful voice - story teller. RIP.
I just loved the superimposed images during "There's a light beyond these woods." Her singing on stage, in the cold with only one other guitar really shows off her talent.
Simply put, the best.Would have been voted Most Friendly,Most Likely to Succeed,etc in any US High School.She's had some bad luck in her life but in the true American way, never complained and persevered.A true Texan.I'm from Massachusetts and have never forgotten the genuine warmth, kindness and caring that I was shown from residents of the Lone Star State when I was in need.Thanks for posting.
I have seen her 3 times here in Ireland and it breaks my heart a little thinking that I never will again. I have looked on the Internet often but can't find any news of how or where she is now. I know she had either arthritis or Ms so she couldn't play anymore. I would gladly contribute towards any support she might require if it were needed. Her words and music, her voice and her spirit brought so much happiness to my life. I can honestly say that I have been more than just a little bit in love with her for almost 40 years. Bless you Nanci.
@@tconnolly9820 What made you think/know she has severe arthritis or MS? Maybe you mean Dupuytren's contracture, which limits mobility of the hand because of thickening of the skin but I think she played for some time, even with this, maybe she had some treatment?
Thanks so much for posting. She's a wonderful performer. I think the title may be incorrect because in the video Nanci refers to 'Love Wore a Halo' as a song that hadn't yet been recorded and as being due to be cut that coming summer. The album on which the song appears is Little Love Affairs, recorded in August 1987, I believe. I therefore think this concert was recorded in 1987.
She may have performed it before it was officially released. Sometimes artists would do that, since back then people couldn’t leak this kinda thing on the internet, and it would just be kinda special.
This was one of the early Camp Mather Strawberries..."cowboys" smoking cigarettes in the audience...it became much more fair and egalitarian a few years later.

I'm gonna get a statue of our Nanci in Austin.. or I'll die trying. Bank it!

@@BrianCormackCarr Okay, thanks.
She is also an Irish National treasure for sure
I love been listening to Nanci and John Prine so much lately. I can hear them singing in Heaven.
Mount Bonnell is where you go when you’re bored and you feel like consuming beer and 🌱 with a beautiful view.
She is one of my all time favorite singers. All her songs were fabulous,and diverse. She's gone but not forgotten.julia
Seems everyone is gone away now ... we are cryin' one for you.
RIP Nanci. Will always love and miss you
I LOVED AND STILL LOVE NANCI! SO GLAD TO BE ABLE TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO THIS SHOW AGAIN....AND SING ALONG!! HER MUSIC LIVES ON!
R. I. P.... A lovely lady and such wonderful country songs. Always remembered. A fan from England. 🏴🤠🎻🎶🎸

Nanci gives you the special qualities of a great writer, special voice, tremendous musician, and a personality on the stage that lures you in!
Always loved her voice and her songs. Rest in peace, Nanci.
Absolutely fabulous nancy
I second that emotion....✨
Love and comfort to her family.....
She flies high with the white crown sparrow....how her music has comforted so many of us....in our times of need....clear sweet voice....will be missed more than we can say

She is always wonderful and amazing

RIP your songs touched my heart
She will truly be missed by many, her voice touched so many hearts. RIP sing to all up there Nanci x
She will be missed 😢
Nanci is absolutely stunningly Beautiful with the wind blowing her hair like that. and that voice.....
So true. I can’t take my eyes off her.
So sad at the loss of Nanci today. Catch those blackbirds wings and sing some with John.
I'm sure that they're playing in heaven "in spite of themselves"! What a band God has got up there!
@@johntkach1667 Yeah I got to thinking she's playing with Townes again. Kate Wolf, Guy Clark.....and others....having a good time!
Oh Nanci...you will be so missed x
RIP Sweet Lady and Beautiful Soul, Thank You for Sharing Your Magical Talent.
She was such a great songwriter, as well as a champion of other artist's music. Her beautiful voice will ring forever.
My face is sore from grinning. Love this lady. Has any performer ever played like they loved being there more than her? I don't think so. Beautiful. Would have loved to meet her.
She wrote so vividly, so beautifully in the space of a song, sung majestic tunes with the voice of an angel. So moving. Angel Nanci.
True.

She was so happy on stage *
Amen to everything you say! She was a wonder.
Nanci is a delightful human being and we are blessed by her vibrant expression of beautiful music. Thank you!
Nanci Griffith is a wonderful artist, composer, musician and singer.
When Nanci sings "There is a light beyond these woods (Mary Margaret)" her eyes got wet and shone with light. Nanci's entire face appears illuminated... She is adorable.
Nanci could carry a full concert with just her voice & guitar. Played behind her a couple of times, before she got..famous. It was a joy.
It is sure that like a great artist Nanci could entertain an audience by herself, with her guitar.
Nick, if I understand well,, did you play with Nanci before she became famous? who knows what wonderful memories you will have!!

Yes.
Had the pleasure of seeing Nanci open for John Prine at the Majestic Theater in Dalles....

Thank you for sharing this Strawberry performance. This really takes me back.
What a story teller!

Damn, deep sadness, I can’t shake it...... always loved you and your music Nanci
We were there. THANKS Dale and everybody who helped. Keep these videos coming please.
thanks RIP lovley legend thanks for the legcy
Thank you for playing so many of her beautiful performances on u tube.what a gem she is.
QUINTESENTIAL NANCI!!
Not sure what all this underrated garble is about, Nancy was (makes me cry) Nancy is the best that ever happened or will ever happen
Only a musically unaware teenager who first heard her yesterday would use that ridiculous, bogus term.
Not still the original quality of image and sound, but better than the other, of course! Thanks!
I just loved the superimposed images during "There's a light beyond these woods." Her singing on stage, in the cold with only one other guitar really shows off her talent.
She sends me every time without fail. Thanks for posting!!!

O nanci
This was one of the early Camp Mather Strawberries..."cowboys" smoking cigarettes in the audience...it became much more fair and egalitarian a few years later.
She sounds this good even without James Hooker. Request at 50:35, then she says, “we don’t have our keyboard player.” From A Distance, maybe?
The bio should be updated. Griffith died a few years ago.
Thats Danny Flowers
Redon williams collection
Wow that’s an unflattering thumbnail
Haha
No, she’s lovely.
The female John denver
She could wipe the stage floor with John Denver, and everybody would cheer!
