:hi:

lost

[bridgit]

4. that's big stuff, aA...

:cry:

[speedoo]

5. awww, auntie.

You had to go ahead and remind me that Roy is gone.:cry:

No, don't worry, I don't have to be reminded of that sad fact.

Thanks for that wonderful video. I don't think I have ever heard K. D. sing better. They did that high harmony at the end beautifully.:hi:

[u4ic]

6. auntieA

What a find! Thanks for that video. I looooove that song. kd is one of my all time favourite singers.

It's amazing how much she's developed her voice since then.

I found a video of her performing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at Alberta's Centennial on youtube last week; now I can't find it. :shrug:

It was magnificent.

[speedoo]

7. I can't find it either.

But I will keep looking because I love that song and I'd like to hear KD sing it.

Frustrating.x(

[u4ic]

9. If you get her album

"Hymns of the 49th Parallel" it's on that, as is a brilliant version of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You".

Gawd, I love that voice. :-)

edited for album title

[speedoo]

11. Here's a video of KD singing it... beautifully.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW_H-VeTv8g

I will definitely get that album.. thanks

[u4ic]

12. Ah - you found one!

Isn't her version brilliant?

[speedoo]

15. Yes, brilliant is the word.

Beautifully arranged and sung. KD is a great singer and performer.

I found it searching for "KD Lang" ... I think. After trying every way I could think of. I take it the version you were looking for is different?

TV producers evidently love the song as much as we do. First time I heard it was a few years ago, on an episode of "West Wing". It was the Jeff Buckley version, and they used it the same way, in a montage.

Actually, I probably heard Leonard sing it himself when he first recorded it, but I can't be sure. He's an incredible songwriter.

Here's to KD and Leonard... two of my favorite Canadians!!

:toast:

[u4ic]

18. Found it!

"This video has been removed due to terms of use violation". x(

Dang.

Glad I got a chance to see it.

It was kd singing at Alberta's centennial, live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (they had worked with Procul Harum and Lighthouse in the past).

[speedoo]

22. Bummer.

I'd have to loved to see it. Maybe a lawful version will make it back there.

At least you know now what happened to it.:) When that kind of thing happens to me, I go nuts, as long as it's unresolved.

[auntAgonist]

13. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

That was incredible. Had me in tears all over again. I saw that one listed when I was searching for the video but I didn't realize that SUV was it!

thanks x 10000000000000000

amazing.

:hug:

[speedoo]

17. You are welcome!!

Thanks, again, for the first one. And thanks to u4ic for cluing us in to the second one.

Group effort!!:grouphug: :grouphug:

[auntAgonist]

40. I GOT IT!

Hymns of the 49th Parallel

kd lang blasting on the stereo. Life is good.

Hubby got it for me.

:loveya: Gryphon!


:hi:

[u4ic]

41. Isn't it fantastic?

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:



:loveya: :hi:

[auntAgonist]

43. it it amazing... Do you have it?

:loveya:

k.

[u4ic]

45. I do!

and listen to it a lot.

Her voice is just in another realm, isn't it?

:loveya: :hi:

[auntAgonist]

8. she is my all time favourite female vocalist.

I love how she puts emotion and true feeling into her voice. She and Jean Siberry did a duet "Calling All Angels" which is a song done by Train, and it's wonderful.

She sure gets animated on stage from what I've seen (on tv). I've never seen her in person but I would give my eye teeth to get to one of her concerts.

:hug:

aA

keep lookin' for that vid :)

[u4ic]

10. I would love to see her, too

For the life of me, I can't find that video. I looked under every known way to spell kd lang - k d, k.d., KD, K.D., Alberta, centennial, Edmonton, Winspear...it just disappeared. :(

:hug: :loveya:

[blonndee]

14. Wow, thanks for this! Nobody, nobody

like Mr. O.

This is beautiful. Both of them, such talented vocalists.

[blonndee]

16. To add: the Spanish version from Mulholland Drive

So beautiful, it brought tears to my eyes both times I watched the movie.

19. great vid! thanks.

23. Just for you blonndee, Roy Orbison's last interview.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHcrGZe-7w0&mode=related&search=


aA

[blonndee]

24. Oh wow, thank you!

He seemed so genuine and kind in that interview. I liked just listening to his voice. He kind of sounds like my grandpa did.

I just love him. Every time I hear him or some of those other "old guys" (like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Roger Miller, Merle Haggard, George Jones) it reminds me of when I was a little girl, riding with my dad in his dirty old Chevy Silverado with the old SKOAL cans and Dr. Pepper bottles, smelling like sweat and cow shit and hay bales, and being as happy as I think I've never been since.

I know that sounds rednecky and schlocky, but it's true. :)

[speedoo]

25. Aww gee, what a beautiful man he was.

No wonder he was revered by so many in the business. Not just a great, great singer and songwriter, but a kind and gentle person, if that interview is any indication. Someone said he died only about 24 hours later.:cry:

And his description of how the Traveling Wilburies got together was a treat... I have often wondered about that.

Have you seen the "Black on White" video?

[blonndee]

26. No, I haven't seen it.

Haven't even heard of it, actually! What is it?

[speedoo]

30. Oh blonndee, you are in for a major freakin' treat!!

It was a tribute kind of concert, with Roy backed up by a bunch of great musicians, including Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, KD Lang, Bonnie Raitt and a number of less well known greats as well.

I have seen it on PBS several times and know it's available on Amazon.

Here's one number from it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvXKMkOt9L8

Cool, huh?

[speedoo]

31. and here's another number from it...

they have some fun in this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdeicjnbdDQ

The guy in the white jacket playing the slick guitar... can't remember his name, but he was Elvis' lead guitar player. He and Springsteen are pretty cool, trading licks, with Roy orchestrating things.:)

Here's the Amazon link.

[blonndee]

33. I HAVE to reply again.

That freaking "Pretty Woman" number with the long riff or instrumental section or whatever. OMFG!!! That rocks! Mr. O. was WAY before his time. I think someone called him the "voice of God," well, whoever was working on that song at the time was definitely in tune with the voice of god.

[speedoo]

34. more, more, more for you blonndee....

There is a TON of Roy stuff on youtube.

Here are some more links from "Black and White"..

Ubi Dubi: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6d5mIdc3vU

In Dreams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9waQhfiFYU

It's Over: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwEQEqTEgvg

Only The Lonely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6iF76XGFBU (check out the audience reaction when Roy starts singing at first, I love the way he hesitates for a second)

Claudette, with a Roy interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_ywfXAyXXM

Sweet Dreams (fun duet with Bruce): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbrt7Ihrrds

I just realzed that the sound on the DVD is amazing, as I'm listeneing to these cuts with earphones. I gotta get the DVD!

And here is an older video of a much younger Roy doing "Crying" in fron of some HS kids. I hope those kids realize now how lucky they were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g0MM1Px8Ds

Finally, here is a Traveling Wilburys video, done without Roy. But watch the video carefully after about halfway through when you hear Roy's solo, and have some kleenex ready. ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7xVXlL1nDE

RIP, Roy.

[blonndee]

35. Are you trying to seduce me Speedoo?

LOL Kidding, but these videos are totally rockin my socks off. "In Dreams..."

and OMG, "It's Over"!

I've heard imitations, but nobody, like I said in my OP, NOBODY compares with Mr. O.

Whatever your intention, it makes me want to either take off my bra and panties or cry myself to sleep!

[speedoo]

36. Now THAT post got me all kinds of thinking, Blonndee!!

Especially the last line :evilgrin:

LOL, I do believe you and are the biggest two Roy fans on DU, for sure. You are right, nobody ever did, or ever will, sing the way that man could.:cry:

Did you watch the Traveling Wilburys one yet?

[blonndee]

37. LOL I'm just now watching the Traveling Wilburys

Is that TOM PETTY? Hoooly shit. I didn't think I could be more all falling all over myself till now. Oh, wow, this song makes me want to cry!! It's freaky how Tom Petty and R.O. songs can do that!
...
Well it's all right, if you live the life you please
Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine
Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

Thanks again for sharing...I might never have known that two of my favorites were together on this song.

[speedoo]

38. Yeah, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Geoff Lynne (of ELO)..

and Roy. Roy talks about how it was they got together on that interview video that auntie posted for us.

When the album came out, they called themselves funny fictional names, and it took people a few days to figure out who they were... it was really funny!! I think it turned out to be another Roy tribute, since he died a short time later.

So, did you see what I was talking about, when Roy starts singing?

[blonndee]

32. Now that video got me ALL kinds of thinking!

I'm definitely going to have to refine my Amazon searches and add to my wish list now. Thanks for letting me know this even exists.

[Broken_Hero]

20. great song, ....:) nt

[auntAgonist]

21. We're like groupies or something eh?

42. Thanks for that link, speedoo!

Strange seeing her in a (fashionable, at the time) dress, though....she did wear skirts in her torch n'twang period.

[auntAgonist]

44. and .. she used to go nuts on stage ..

in a good way! she was so full of energy. I loved watching her.

:) :hi: :loveya:

46. My damn PBS station has been overplaying a Roy Orbison special...

for their fund drives. Sad, because it kinda put me off Roy Orbison for a couple of decades, I think. He had a truly unique sound, but it just lost its charm with me. :shrug:
