One of my five favorite songs from the "Live in Paris" program. Her phrasing and emotional intensity just slay: "Someday if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair…" Wow, this never gets old. When I can I listen to this with my eyes fixed on my computer monitor. Diana was a stunning apparition.
That guy on the guitar, man, thanks for his name. Barney Kessel, Kenny Burrell, Joe Pass, he's right there with them, man. If only Diana could do what Nat Cole did and just stand up, leave the piano, take the mic and sing directly to us💙
Thank you Diana. You resurrected this great, forgotten song!! Many singers sang this song in the 50's; Sinatra, Jane Morgan, Sarah, Vic, Joni, Etta Jones, June Christiy,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Now it is time to make it real STANDARD song.
I think it's too difficult harmonically for the general public to latch onto it and whistle or hum it. It wouldn't mean half so much without lyrics. But I get where you are coming from.
This song was sung with such passion and performed masterfully by the musicians. I get sucked into it each time I hear it. The writer had such a broken heart. Notice the tear on the vilinist at 4:32. Got her too. That's what happens when passion and soul are put into a performance.
John Clayton, Jeff Hamilton, Anthony Wilson, and Diana. It doesn't get any better. They are all so sensitive to the music and to each others' ideas. Thanks for posting this version, roger b.
Ironically the same "Axe" played by Ted Nugent. Was named for Nashville studio guitarists Billy Byrd and Hank Garland who both were Jazz players also. Garland was "Put out of commission" for challenging Nashville's racial codes
Fantastic. She blew the lyrics and like the pro she is, never missed a beat. Consumate pro and greatest rendition of the standard that I have ever heard.
DIANA KRALL - Maybe You'll Be There If I had to select a single favorite 'live' concert performance of Diana Krall's -- to be preserved and enjoyed by generations of music lovers yet unborn - without a doubt, it would be this one: from her Paris Concert - a song composed in 1947 (a very good year) by Rube Bloom (m) and Sammy Gallop (w). A perfectly poignant song about lost love -- these words especially: Someday, if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door And maybe you'll be there. A gorgeous symphonic arrangement - one of his best by the late Claus Ogerman. Great sound engineering, plus exemplary video quality - perfect camera work and lighting that captures, among its subtleties, a single tear streaming down the cheek of a pretty violinist (at around the 4:28 mark). And someone else noted that around the "2:54 mark, a cello player is so moved with emotion, he shakes his head in wonder.” Another kindred spirit writes: “I've watched this dozens of times, and each time it brings a tear to my eye.” Thanks for sharing, Roger B.

Me too...She was in my town 4 months ago and I was disappointed...she is a storyteller and talked at the onset of each song...I just wanted to hear her sing. Her songs are the stories...real life.
Actually I don't think she blew the lyric...I think she passed on it, and was feeling the song and felt the lyric at that point was irrelevant...I like the pause...
Each time I see a crowd of people Just like a fool I stop and stare It's really not the proper thing to do But maybe you'll be there I go out walking after midnight Along the lonely thoroughfare It's not the time or place To look for you But maybe you'll be there You said your arms would always hold me You said you lips were mine alone to kiss Now after all those things you told me How could it end like this Someday if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair With anxious heart I'll hurry to the door And maybe you'll Be there
"Someday if all my prayers are answered I'll hear a footstep on the stair With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door Maybe you'll be there" - but I know you wont... never again... :'(
