This audience are a bunch of morons... blabbing away talking over these 2 angels singing such a beautiful song with such skill and heart. Wow. I would have loved to witnessed this performance.💖💖
Absolutely beautiful! How can people be so stupid as to keep yapping during this wonderful performance of such talent? “We went to dinner and all we could her was these two chicks singing their hearts out. I could hardly discuss my worthless problems with my worthless family”
I was thinking the same thing. If people only knew the greatness that was right in front of them and how early in life Eva would be taken........I'd like to think they might've been more respectful. But then again, likely not.
Oh, did I just Cry when hearing Eva Cassidy sing "Tears In Heaven" for the 1st time! She's the Best There Ever Was & I Sure Hope She's Smiling Now! I Love You, Eva! ❤
I cannot BELIEVE people are still talking...I would have been mesmerized...greetings from South Africa, where my country is in a state of emergency...your singing brought me calmness. (14 Jul 2021)
from videos i've seen americans can be the rudest audiences. and there have been comments under anita baker's live performances, for instance, about how the audience is just sitting there and what's up with that?
What a treat this would’ve been!Such a disrespectful ignorant audience with its mindless chattering in background..they weren’t aware they were in the presence of greatness n rare talent. As a singer so appreciate these harmonies n blend of voices…melts my heart!
WHY are people in that club talking during this performance??!! SHUT UP!!! If I was in that audience, at the first word I heard out the mouths of these two amazing ladies my hand would have went up in the face of whoever was talking about whatever trivial insignificance. "Oh you figured out how to finally achieve world peace? That's amazing, but NOT NOW! The world has been fighting for centuries. It can wait 5 more minutes."
Hallo Mary Ann!! Wow!!!! You sung with the great EVA CASSIDY! For me she was one of the greatest singer of all time! It's really sad she died one year later!!! And you also a great singer!!! Thanx for posting this wonderful piece of music! Wish you a great 2021 with a lot of love and peace (and music) I send you the best regards from BREMEN, GERMANY!
Eva was excited about singing with Mary Ann however, seemed like Mary Ann was taken more by admiring and singing with Eva. Total respect. Also, how the heck can people be so noisy and rude when such an awesome performance is happening? As a local musician, I will not play in a restaurant setting because of the noise and people in that setting don't care to hear music, they just want to chat.
WoW, unbelievable how ppl can be so rude & perfectly clueless! Apparently Mary Anne & Eva sang before a lot of wasted ppl that night. I'm sure those who were attentive to the beautiful voices of these two exceptionally talented ladies wished the proprietor would've thrown the yuppies out. Unfortunately not everybody who goes to a music venue is a music lover. Those that aren't should go elsewhere to party - preferably take their buddies with them & go back to their home or den. Those fool's didn't know & will probably never realize what they missed. Sadly, you could tell from Eva's expression that she was displeased by their rudeness, particularly for Mary Anne, whom I'm sure has experienced the same before as much as she has performed. 🎸 🎼 ❤️ 🎤 🎶 🎸 🎼 ❤️ 🎤 🎶
Two wonderful talents blended perfectly. I have loved Eva's singing and how she shaped a song from the first time I heard her on Radio New Zealand some years ago. RIP Eva. Mary Ann I have only just heard your great voice. Im going to look you up on you tube now. Imagine if we could hear you two with Alison Kraus -wouldn't that be amazing
I love this version! Beautiful harmonies. How awesome to have performed with Eva Cassidy. I am honoured that you commented on one of my modest video clips!! You guys are so fantastic together - so much soul in your vocals.
If this doesn't bring tears to your eyes you are not human! What an honor to be able to sing with the great Eva Cassidy, no doubt one of the greatest vocalists ever. You both harmonized exceptionally well here. Chills, what a moving song and performance. Thank you for sharing! Rest in peace Eva Cassidy; there are no tears in Heaven 🌠
Lovely, Mary Ann but bc of the audience yapping and the less-than-perfect recording tuning it could have been very special. You performed beautifully and you have good control of your distinctive voice. You have a fan in Chicago.
No words, sublime. Mary Ann Redmond, the first time I saw/heard you sing was when you performed at the restaurant I was employed at as head server. (Giovanni's Lake Ridge 30+ years ago). You were in the loft during Sunday brunch basically providing "background" music. No one up there, just your keys and voice. Then you launched in to Phyllis Hyman (Living All Alone) and I almost dropped my tray...
We forget how unknown Eva was at this time - no record deal, touring a matter of finding gigs where she could. That's why people were talking, it was just a gig at a bar. Though considering the quality of all 3 performers I'm pretty sure they realised by the end this was in no way average and everyone there will now use it as a talking point in dinner party conversations, with the caveat that of course it wasn't THEM talking over.
Mary Ann is more of an alto and Eva more of a soprano which is why their voices blend so beautifully. As a musician, I've been there with the people talking and ignoring the music and yes, shame on them...if they only knew what they were truly missing...and of course now we all miss Eva.
Wow! I am a singer, so touched and admire amazing singers, musicians, true talent! You just sing, despite the "noise". Such harmony, angel voices! Would have just been so delighted to have been there! Eva, your in heaven now, in Angel's choir! You left us way too young!!!!
What a rude bunch of people there are in that place, if they wanted a fireside chat they should have stayed at home, there are two singers who regretfully have to try and sing with people talking over them, when they are songing what is a good song, maybe i am too critical but it polite to be quiet when an act is in progress, having know what its like to standc up and sing in front of others, one always hopes that those who come to listen do just that!!!!!!(
Their voices blended together perfectly, and I can sense the mutual admiration between these two great singers. I'm sure they influenced each other with their singing styles over time. You can tell in this video, Eva loved singing harmony. Hugh, her Dad, said when Eva was young, she would always gravitate to the harmony during their family sing-alongs and performances. Chris Biondo, her recording producer and bass player said, she always nailed three & four part harmonies on the first take of a recording session. Later, when Eva was gaining traction in the D.C. music scene, in an interview, Eva said her favorite thing to do in the studio was to create choir harmonies. No doubt, this is rare video footage. It's one of two videos that I know of with Eva singing harmonizing/lead vocals with someone else. Usually, when we hear Eva sing harmony, she's singing the backup tracks that matches her lead vocal track. Here's the other video link to more Eva Cassidy perfection: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k1BBBUHQEpA.html Thanks so much for posting!!!
Thank you Mary Ann, for commenting on my video. You are amazingly talented and it was a delight watching this video of you with the great Eva Cassidy. Looking forward for more. Take care, David.
Would it be possible to edit the video and remove all the background noise and clatter so the music comes through pure and unadulterated? Even if doing so is costly, it would be worthwhile… You might even be able to sell the revised soundtrack to her record label… Thank you for recording this, it’s awesome despite my comments above… you clearly understood the value of this performance while you were there, unlike so many others in the audience.
Wow!!! Thanks for commenting on one of my videos. I never would’ve seen this if you hadn’t. Check out my “Tears In Heaven Cover” I book end it with with a James Taylor guitar part.
Thank you for recording and posting this (whoever you are), it’s awesome! You clearly understood the value of this performance while you were there, unlike so many others in the audience. Would it be possible to edit the video and remove all the background noise and clatter so the music comes through pure and unadulterated? Even if doing so is costly, it would be worthwhile… Then perhaps the Redmond and/or Cassidy record labels could add the revised soundtrack to a cd?
And knowing the magnificent Eva would die a year and a half after this performance makes it all the more special. (But I have to ask: Who are all the rude people in the audience who can't stop jabbering long enough to appreciate this pair of artists? Arrrggghhh....)
Ojalá aprendamos a respetar a los músicos y cantantes cuando nos hacen el favor de mostrarnos su arte y su mundo interior respetándoles ese breve espacio de tiempo que usan para comunicarse con nosotros. Al parecer lo consiguieron pero cuántos no!
