I love Suzanne Vega!! Really as a kid, she was the first person with my name that I knew who was famous! I have quite a few of her albums including this one and saw her at The Pavilion in Glasgow years ago; she was amazing.
My teenage crush. As a kid in New Zealand you were my everything. My favourite song of yours. So incredibly wonderful to see and hear you after all these years, sounding and looking divine. All the best.
Remember this performance at the time! Was so emotional + poignant to hear this 'classic' performed live on tv! 💗 Brought back so many memories of my childhood + youth 😔...still get goosebumps, as soon as the intro starts! 💜 Still sounding flawless, with her infamous soft vocals...🙏🏼😍💖
Cool, so cool. That song shone in an era of electro and hair metal (no judgement) and almost forty years later I still get the same feeling that I'm listening to a work of art. There are still true artists out there, untethered by boxes. They're just a bit older now...
If I remember rightly from previous festivals the BBC has a semi-private quiet performance area for interviews and 1-3 song acoustic sets, which they then release on iplayer, or show between major stage sets when broadcast ("earlier today we got a set with... " type )
Why don't the BBC put on this concert. She just does not come up to the North East anymore. I saw her live back in Newcastle in 2005 and again at the Sage Gateshead, and she was really very good. Very enjoyable performances. I have all her albums, and much rare footage from tv appearnces.
Far higher quality songwriting than many of the younger bands ... classic .And far more solid imsge than all those student-looking bands with their jeans and t shirts and no idea whatsoever of what its like to have a strong aesthetic
Aesthetic? Fashion per se? Pfft. Keep it to "I believe", rather than claiming you're an objective guru. It appears you're not resourceful, rather biased in your own bubble.

The songs from that first album still sound great so many years later.
She still sounds wonderful!
One of America' best singer songwriters EVER.
Loved this album, one of the most underrated albums of the 80's
Suzanne sounds as great as ever. Love, love, lover her voice. Gerry Leonard on guitar brings the music to life and gives it more depth. Fantastic.
Good to hear she had still got such a good voice.
Suzanne Vega has written so many good songs, great to hear this one.
Suzanne … both you and your music are still beautiful
Time has actually given her voice a bit more gravity, which really works here. Great performance. Was anyone there?
I do hope folk where there. Maybe a bit too much gravity for most.
No audience here, this was done in the BBC area for broadcast
Still sounds great and looks lovely ❤
Fantastic original and totally beautiful song ❤

I’ve been going to Glastonbury since 97 ….and Suzanne at the Acoustic Stage is always the first act I look for ♥️
Timeless 🥰🥰🥰
WOW. Just great 👍. Awesome. Pure class.And that smile at the end. Nice.
God i love this woman
My teenage crush. As a kid in New Zealand you were my everything. My favourite song of yours. So incredibly wonderful to see and hear you after all these years, sounding and looking divine. All the best.
Same. Did a roadie to New Plymouth in 1987 and listened to that album over and over again. Still in love.
Her voice is still perfect, and the guitar work by the guy on the left is awesome
They sound excellent and amazingly full for 2 people.
I have seen both Suzanne and Gerry Leonard twice and they do put on a
really good show. Suzanne is so underrated both as a songwriter and
performer.
Big thanks to GERRY LEONARD ...great guitarist.
What a great voice, and songwriting! That was such a great album
Such great lyrics "Held me in your handsome fist" gah! I love her music
My goodness, her voice after all of these years!! Just wow!!
wonderful to hear your voice in these days. stay healthy.
Remember this performance at the time! Was so emotional + poignant to hear this 'classic' performed live on tv! 💗

What a treat to see this video of Suzanne Vega. She sounds incredible.
Sounds great! Artists like her deserve more airplay and visibility. Thanks! ✌️🎻😎🎻
Beautiful song from Suzanne, can’t wait to see her live in Feb23 in Manchester and enjoy her music love her voice and style
Cool, so cool. That song shone in an era of electro and hair metal (no judgement) and almost forty years later I still get the same feeling that I'm listening to a work of art. There are still true artists out there, untethered by boxes. They're just a bit older now...
I'm on the same page brother 👍👍🙏
i love her so much, and seeing the performances of this song through years really made me emotional
The voice is still really great and Gerry's guitar playing and arrangement are wonderful!
Great, looking forward to see her, them in Trst - Trieste on Sunday. 💚 She is getting better and better with years.
Suzanne still looks and sounds fantastic, maybe even better than her debut year. This was the first song I ever heard by her.
The first song I heard/saw was Small Blue Thing, which she performed on The Tube when it was released in 1985 I think.
Wow, her voice has gotten even better. Takes me back, great memories. Thank you
What a great artist. I missed the first round of this song, but it's really amazing!!!
So beautiful, many thanks for sharing !!!💙
Very good memories when i was for the first time living on my own !! Good old days beautifull songs !
What a beautiful music.
Still a beautiful voice... And great to see Gerry Leonard playing too 💗
Such a cool voice 😎
Quality stands the test of time ❤
Thanks to the great BBC for sharing this ❤️👍
Just saw this. Great as ever - one of my favourite songs. Not that far apart age wise so good know that we can still rock it!!
One of the very first 45's I ever bought. :)
and one of your most favourite songs, a brilliant and beautiful piece of songwriting iyho.
OMG this is amazing how did I miss this performance. Now I heard it love this ❤❤❤
If I remember rightly from previous festivals the BBC has a semi-private quiet performance area for interviews and 1-3 song acoustic sets, which they then release on iplayer, or show between major stage sets when broadcast ("earlier today we got a set with... " type )
This is one of the best wifedom songs of all time.
brilliant...can't believe she's 62..
Great to see her again! I’ve been thinking about her since Sofi Tukker sampled that beautiful sticky chorus from Tom’s Dinner for Summer in New York.
Great music!
Love that!
Suzane Vega, única… uhuuu!!!❤🌷
Wanderful she is still so beautiful 🌷🌸amazing song🍎i love her 💝

First saw SV perform this around the mid 1980's . Her early material by her best in my opinion (eg Luka and this track )
Wow this sounds good 👌
Wonderful!!!!

Love this.
Sweet memories...
Sensational
Amazing!!!
This music seems to be like those special wine bottles from family vineyards that you cannot find in the supermarket... :)
Great song!

1985…, for me the best music year in history 🙂

My dear, I love Susanna too, but do not be aphoristic in general. Take a look at the lyrics of Adrianne Lenker for example ...
Aesthetic? Fashion per se? Pfft.
Keep it to "I believe", rather than claiming you're an objective guru.
It appears you're not resourceful, rather biased in your own bubble.
i bet Suzanne used to be young student-looking wearing jeans and a t shirt when she just started her career.
@@egorzimowski3505 Not really, no. Reference video: ua-cam.com/video/CXb6Lb_h0Oo/v-deo.html
@@egorzimowski3505 I saw her many times when she was young, playing at small clubs. She wore a tuxedo, not jeans.
and this is how we should age ladies
Was anyone not playing Glastonbury this year???
Except for Paul M, Wolf Alice, Gabriels, Crowded House, Wet Leg, Billy Ellish , Plant/Krauss etc. !
I was the 1,000th like LOL. Just saw it go from 999 to 1k.
Brawo
Wow, who knew Billy Idol was so good on guitar.
That set looks like the aftermath of an explosion in a pound shop! It no wonder Suzanne kept her shades on!
Why doesn't she ever come to New Zealand / Australia ?
love john mcenroe's solo's
"You cannot be serious!"
can always trust tv producers to kill acoustic dynamics
Pity about the pink poseur fumbling on the left. Glad to hear SV.
gerry is the perfect partner for her

Suzanne Vega >>> Taylor Sh*t
No! Taylor Swift sounds like Suzanne!
