EvaThank you, Peter, I'm blubbering here after watching this embedded video, which is no doubt my favorite solo performance of all time. Barbara Piper and I did quite a number of Eva songs, and we soon learned that we didn't need to alter a single note or nuance, as she was perfect.

We did Fields of Gold, the Eva version of course. Even for this non-singer/songwriter.

Eva Cassidy was amazing. I didn’t discover her until after she was gone, I am sorry to say.

What LJ said. What a loss.
Brother Iz’s version of over the the rainbow is something else too.

Heavens, she was great. I too discovered her too late.
I read where she sang "Wonderful World" before friends, family and fans for her final performance. Can't imagine how she OR the audience managed to get through that one. It's hard to even read about.

Can't imagine how she OR the audience managed to get through that one. It's hard to even read about. I read an article once about her brother Dan and a producer working on a mix of "Know You By Heart" after she died and how they broke down at the line "You left in autumn ... " The date of her 1996 death was Nov. 2.

"Wonderful World," her last song at her last concert, is on YouTube and well recorded. Watch if you have the strength.
I do not ... I only got through 2 minutes.
Appears to be fingerpicking a strat.

Were these black and white youtubes I am seeing, like Autumn Leaves and Over the Rainbow, recorded live? I do hear the applause at the end, so I guess they were, but it's hard to believe one can sound that good solo, and live.

Just the juxtaposition of the musicians now talking about that show, and her. Incredible. I ended up learning Autumn Leaves after watching that.
