Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason (live, my fav version) 

who's here after the grammys 2024?! Man does she have a phenomenal voice!

Good grief. That amazing woman has such songwriting skills and smooth delivery. Seriously, smooth. Even when the pace picks up, she’s so steady. Praise the music gods for gifting us Tracy Chapman.

A smile that lights up a room. A voice that gives me goosebumps. Lyrics that tell a story. Smooth sounds all the way around.

She helped bring the blues back in the 90's

Perhaps the most underated song writer/singer ever. She is extraordinary and never recognized as she should have been

Tracy Chapman is one of the greatest American artists. Goddam

I'm afraid I needed the Grammys to remind me of her giant talent.

She’s her own vibe I swear! Ever since back in the day & still going! 🔥🔥♥️✨💥✨🎶🎵✨🫶🏻✨♥️

Tracy is so unique. There is simply no one like her. She's Beautiful.

“Tracy Tracy please come back and sing to us!” There is absolutely no one that can do what this awesome lady does, and every single song is so clear and easy to sing along with! We all need her messages through music today moreso than ever! I still watch listen and feel them 24/7! Thank You Tracy Chapman!

Tracy Chapman is going to mess around and make rock mainstream again. ❤

I really hope she goes on tour in 2024 because THAT WAS A PERFORMANCE!!!!

She was my sound track going thru cancer treatment. Thank you lady.

She's physically beautiful. She sings beautifully. Her messages in her music are absolutely beautiful. I've been listening to you since you first started singing.

She does not need back up singers in my opinion- her voice is amazing. When I was a child my mum and her siblings loved her music and I surprised myself to see I still remember lyrics of the famous songs 😊 thanks to the Grammys I have now listened to many of her songs this past week !

Austin City Limits really knows how to showcase artists of every genre. Thank you, PBS, for this gift!

She is so casually amazing! Nothing is forced. No gratuitous runs or anything, but man I’d want to be on the front row and catch that awesome vibe.

Seriously one of the most gifted female musicians in our lifetime!

She's too cool for school. I love this woman's vibe.

Still have the girl crush 36 years later.... phenomenal voice....🎶🎵🎼❤

This was even better than I was expecting, and I was expecting greatness. Also great to see her still going. (Grammy awards 2024) 🌹

Tracy's smile is so infectious. Her voice is so immeasurably pleasing. I hope I get to one day hear her live

Her voice is so smooth and soothing...and the way she plays her guitar, like its just flowing thru her ..shes amazing!❤️

Beautiful performance. It's nice to hear somebody sing and to be able to understand ever word

Tracy Chapman has been one of my favs since she started

Joy and pain in her voice. Honest, true. Thank you, Miss Chapman.

Long timer admirer, made my friends listen -- who is that TRACY. LISTEN HERE❤🤠

I love miss Tracy Chapman's voice because it comes from deep down in her soul...she has a voice of an an Angel...she can wake the dead with her voice..

NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HEAR THIS I ALWAYS LOVE IT ❤❤❤❤❤

Simply Marvelous... there's no one like her....she has her own style....she sangs the real ...good ole FASHION MUSIC....MY GIRL..!!!! EVEN MY CHILDREN LOVES HER

Its 2023 I'm 60 years old and I still listen to Tracy everyday

Love Tracy Chapman. Beautiful voice amazing lyrics. Timeless. So underrated.

Never seen this version before. Absolutely incredible!!!!!

My friend got a singer to sing this song to me directly at a gig in oz because i played it constantly when I was in a downer, long long time ago, my mate has recently passed and I just want to say thanks again for her empathy, hope someone out there gets the benefit from reading this. Cheers .

Her Glow! Her Smile! Her Voice! Her music has helped me during the hardest moments ❤

Her band deserves props too. Very skilled musicians.

We started listening to Tracy when we were stationed in Germany back in the 90's! Love her to this day! Excellent bluesie vibe!

I loved the original version of this song but this is over the top! Go Tracy!!!

that voice, that smile, those lyrics...timeless...just a lovely.soul.

Amazing singer,could listen to this performance all day long ! Tracy Chapman is one of the best !!!

Fantastic song for mature adults. Her music is confrontational, music of love, lust, rage, righting injustices. I also applaud Tracy Chapman's liberal political perspectives in her music.

I love how effortless her singing is. Her songs are great. They show off her talent in a non over the top way. Shes just herself

What? TRACY CHAPMAN WELCOME BACK. AWESOMENESS 🌹 HOLY CREATOR? IT'S HER.

I've never heard this "Split Personality" version before, but I just love it. Genius.

My gosh this is pure live music at its best unreal.

Beautiful! She gives me chills. I have always loved her. She warms my soul.

She had one hell of a voice and she could play. Very talented indeed

I'm here because I've loved Tracy since 1997

Good god, that hits the heart. This song has given me strength when I needed it most..may others find the medicine they need in it..❤

Absolutely adore her music ! One heck of a singer 💕🥰

I'm 70 and it has been an honor and pleasure to have listened to Tracy for half of my life! I'm truly enjoying the vids of these older performances resurfacing. Good times, good memories of this legendary artist💖

I have listened to Tracy Chapman's unique voice for over thirty years and I will never tire, of her amazing talent.

Beautiful to watch this woman lose herself (and any nerves) in the music!!! What a gifted songwriter!

Love that woman! WHAT A VOICE !

Can’t get enough Tracy Chapman ❤

Come on Tracy, miss you and your voices. We need more of your music!

I'm a Tracy OG...what I respected most, from the start was her presence... "take it or leave it honey, my life is owned by ME". 🙂 Luv that woman, that talent, that spirit, that amazing easy-going self-security. Did u all get the chills? Start moving those shoulders, bopping ur head, closing ur eyes? 🥴 Then you've been mesmerized too! Bless u g/f n all of u reading this too.

Love Tracy. I come across her music every now and then. Reminds me of college days.

Not many artists are instantly recognized by an opening riff. Tracy does it often. Adore this woman's voice and her music/lyrics. Legendary. She will go down in history as one of the greatest artists ever. I SO admire her. Have her CD's that I listen to regularly still. Thanks for the decades of listening to great music Tracy!

She has one of greatest voices of all time ❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁😁

OMG what a great artist I LOVE HER❤😊

She has a pure soul. I love this song.

Amazing. There is no comparison..she is totally unique. I make the world shut down to let me listen. My #1 ..and this is wonderful - never heard this version except here.

I have loved Tracy Chapman since her debut in 1988, still play her music constantly, she’s so beautiful and effortlessly cool 😎, she’s just SO Good, I just can never get to much Tracey & I’ve felt this way for over 35 years now. I am so glad that Luke covered Fast Car, which brought Tracey out of retirement ❣️❣️❣️👏👏👏🥰

Love this song 🎵. Such an amazing voice ❤

Brilliance per Tracy's norm...genius...her vocals her lyrics, her amazing 'guitar' and instrumental talent, if she comes back to Toronto I am there!!!!!!💜💜❤❤

I listened back when she first released it. Never understood how she could be so overlooked by people. Maybe now she'll get the respect she deserved all along.

This particular song resonates with me,we all have been there,lonely,angry,broken hearted,Squeezed too much I might lose my life,and she can play. I love this version because it is played in 100 bpm and 200 bpm…..WOW!!!!! The 200 bpm…her musical talent is Amazing…The Vibe,the change of pace gets us in that place💙You go Girl……..PLEASE ANNOUNCE YOUR WINTER TOUR AND GIVE US A REASON ❤❤❤❤❤

This woman is intensely wonderful! 🎉

I came here after her performance at the Grammys 2024. She was and is still an absolutely outstanding artist. First time I hear this version of Give Me One Reason and I absolutely like it. What a vibe change at 4:20. Phenomenal!

This lady knows the meaning of poetry and soul. She delivers in a category all her own.

LOVE this smokin' hot rock steady live version!

Oh my! This IS the best version! Wish she was still performing!

one of top 5 fav songs in music from over 50 years

Tracy has a voice that just works so well playing live. Incredible performance.

I am putting in my vote for the best of

She's Definitely one of a kind .Insain on the guitar &her voice inspirational ❤

So, I was living on a very old farm in the south of West Germany in the 80s, and I made a pilgrimage to the Big City (Stuttgart) every month or so, and one time, since my German hippie roommate had acquired/cobbled together a CD player, I stopped into one of those record shops on the Koenigsstrasse, or whatever that main shopping district high street might be called, and I bought 6 CDs. The only two I remember with any certainty are XTC's Skylarking and the epic, breakout album from Tracy Chapman. Love on a Farm Boy's Wages and Give Me One Reason are still in constant rotation on my mind's stereo.

Tracy finally received her accolades for her unique music. Her voice is soothing to the soul. I would love to see her in concert.

This song gave me chills when I first heard it! I've got double chills now!! And that man can make his Axe sing. But the percussions is what gets my feet to dancin ❣️❣️❣️

She did a great job live! Love 💕 this song.

Always loved this song. Simple, classic 8 bar blues. Traci Chapman's voice is exquisite. Guy on lead guitar is excellent, although he looks like he's fixin' to run out of the room and blow.

This woman stole my heart when I heard her sing.Played her music so much.♥️😇🎶Hope she arrives again singing all her songs and more to come.🤙

Love her , her music and her smile !!!!

Fantastic voice and presence,she's in the groove in this live performance.

In my teens in the 90s we'd wake to repeat n repeat her tapes. I still do. I still get so touched with message and emotions.

Wow what a suprise at the end! Even rocking it she is still so smooth and chill. Love her!!

I never get tired of listening to this song !

Reminiscent of the 60s for this senior. Sweet, simple message and clean tune Gifted artist. Hope she has a COMEBACK.

Tracy won a reward for singing "Fast Car"

I LOVE YOU TRACY!! WHEN I FIRST HEARD YOU, I WAS HOOKED!! ABSOLUTELY AN INCREDIBLE VOICE!! KEEP ON BRINGING US YOUR AMAZING TALENT DARLING, PLEASE!! YOU ROCK!!🎵🎤🎶🎸🤘✌☮💜 YOUR FAN FOR LIFE!!!☮✌

I’ve had a major crush on her for decades. ❤

She knows how to rock it baby!

Damn! This is a really good performance! Everybody in the band was sharp!

I'd forgotten about this song. What a smooth soulful voice !

She really puts her all into this song, and I Love it!!

Saw in concert a while back. This is one of my favs... rockin

❤❤ she should get the best music awards 🎉❤

The first time I heard Tracy’s voice I did get emotional. I love her voice

Another one of my favs from back in the day, but wow!!! This one takes it to another level!!! I'm so proud of Tracy for getting the recognition she so deserves!!!
