Tal had the nerve and acuity to let the song breathe, improvise, and imbue Jazz, Blues and Soul into the American anthem. For a lot of foreigners, America is the home of the greatest genres of music since the Classical: The Black American music forms, and foundation of all modern popular music: Blues, Jazz, Gospel and Soul. Well Done Tal
As a veteran this rendition brought me to tears. I don’t care if you’re from Australia or outer space, it’s performed with conviction and I’m here for it!
First time, in nearly 70 years I fully heard and understood the full meaning and pathos of the SSB. Plus, Jazz, Blues & Soul with some Improv., and plenty of air to breathe, now, THAT's, a National Anthem!
@@connielingus6969 Yeah her voice sounds outta tune, and lacking emotional conviction. and maybe she has US citizenship now,(I dont know either way) but it doesnt sound right saying "home of kill tony" at the end of the anthem
I first heard of Tal because Wayne Krantz played on her first album. I didn't actually see live playing until the Jeff Beck videos went viral sometime around 2008/2009, and I fell in love with her playing and voice, and her. Nothing has changed, this was just as great as she's always been. I know she loves comedy and Jeff Ross, but this was still such a great surprise.
Stunning. Tal, very deliberately, lets the song breathe, adds jazz, soul and blues touches with the requisite improv., the result is to elicit the genuine pathos within the song and the rendition itself. That takes some doing, and makes for one hell of a National Anthem! Well Done, Tal ...
I can’t believe they got you on here! Huge fan of that show. I’ve had a crush on you since seeing you at crossroads with Jeff beck. One of these days I’m hoping I’ll be lucky enough to play guitar with you. One of my favorite bass players for sure!
Home of the "How brave is she?" Give the Aussie a visa!!! Automatic. She just took-on the National Anthem, reharmonized, rearranged, rewrote it, changed the lyrics, and included a shout-out. Did it with a smile and killed it. She's the chosen one with music. But today (to me) she's an angel (our next-door neighbor from down under - brought us some spirit). Lately, us Yankees, we are the home of the uptight. She reverse Australia-ed us! I really needed that.
A song composed when "The Land of the Free" used to mean Something . . Jeff Beck's favorite bass player , Tal Wilkenfeld , plays/sings the most unusual version of The Star-Spangled Banner since Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock
Back when: the third verse of Francis Scott Key's The Star-Spangled Banner includes the line "No refuge could save the hireling and slave, From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave".
@@davidmurphy9151 .... Yes , "back when" in the new nation America , warts and all , there was more freedom and less tyranny and far less manipulative control freaks and agitators around jamming up the works , and dividing people . Those who are 'in the camp' of Colin Kaepernick who would have others BULLieve the words of Francis Scott Key meant what race-baiters say they mean , when , in Reality , there is No Consensus Opinion on what exactly Key meant when he penned the Anthem "In fairness, it has also been argued that Key may have intended the phrase as a reference to the British Navy's practice of impressment (kidnapping sailors and forcing them to fight in defense of the crown), or as a semi-metaphorical slap at the British invading force as a whole (which included a large number of mercenaries), though the latter line of thinking suggests an even stronger alternative theory - namely, that the word "hirelings" refers literally to mercenaries, and "slaves" refers literally to slaves. It doesn't appear that Francis Scott Key ever specified what he did mean by the phrase, nor does its context point to a single, definitive interpretation."

You know what maybe the youngs open their eyes on all the mess and crimes commited by every president for the safety of the world you will never be great again , funny a country wich claims to be great is pathetic ,with your next president a real criminal geez vote for Trump really? How could you
The recipients of music are sometimes more important than the performers. You meant to say that you wish you had clean audio, and I agree. But there is nothing like hearing each performance as its own thing, a place in time, and a truly unique performance.
Tal Wilkenfeld? Can you do a meet n greet with ELLENPLAYSBASS? Shes so cool and the two of you, even if on video, were to meet, that would be the GREATEST! My spider senses are tingling at the very idea~!
Can someone briefly outline to me what the political message of the changed lyrics is? Is it "pro-American", "anti-American", politically neutral or biased towards party politics? Thank you for your help, support and explanation, because: As a European, I am not that deeply involved in the current political discussions in the USA and I only know three things about Tal so far: ...that she is an excellent musician and that she is Jewish-Australian. I don't know anything more than that.

I'm Canadian and I gotta say I've never heard my own national anthem sound anything this cool. Good shit.
Tal the talented, the fearless, the beautiful, WOW!
Love her unique voice and playing style!
She did the Stars & Stripes proud 🇺🇸
Should be standard opening for any sporting event (no one else just Tal) Especially the top trophy final games! Proud to be American 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇲
First time, in nearly 70 years I fully heard and understood the full meaning and pathos of the SSB. Plus, Jazz, Blues & Soul with some Improv., and plenty of air to breathe, now, THAT's, a National Anthem!
Thank you babe. We so much need more of that in this time. Bless you.
You're welcome, babe.
Jazz-a-fied and moving. It touched me. Thanks I needed that.
Aussie singing American national anthem? I never knew I needed this, well done Tal!
It was disgusting!
@@connielingus6969 Yeah her voice sounds outta tune, and lacking emotional conviction. and maybe she has US citizenship now,(I dont know either way) but it doesnt sound right saying "home of kill tony" at the end of the anthem
@@CourtWatchAu That's why Hendrix, Satriani, Slash and Ted Nugent played better versions.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love her any more…. She comes out with this??? Thank you Tal.

I can't describe how much I love this arrangement. I get goosebumps when I hear that run at "were so gallantly streaming".
This was one of the BEST versions of the National Anthem I've ever heard! EVER!!!!!! Thank you TAL................................
Nicely done Tal! 😮. Original, creative, melodic, and masterful work.
She’s a tremendous artist
Much more than the Hair and Bass! You look good and healthy am happy for you. Nice Version, this former Marine says thanks for a killer cut. 🎉
A bit of Jaco in there... 😊
I love it!!!! Tal you are my idol ❤
This is right up there with Hendrix's version at Woodstock. Amazing job Tal. You are the worlds greatest bass player!!!!!!
Stunning. Tal, very deliberately, lets the song breathe, adds jazz, soul and blues touches with the requisite improv., the result is to elicit the genuine pathos within the song and the rendition itself. That takes some doing, and makes for one hell of a National Anthem! Well Done, Tal ...
Such Talent, Love your hair Tal and your Bass playing is awesome !!

Fearless & incredible. Tal you ROCK.
The only thing better than your bass playing (which is out of this world) is your smile.
I listen to this once a day for inspiration Thank you TaL !
Most stunningly creative version since Hendrix at Woodstock (headphones obligatory)
Fabulous musician!👍❤
Champion. Fun rendition. Cool twists. Bold. Love it!
Beautifully done!
This was absolutely beautiful! I am so glad to have discovered you.

Knocked it out of the park naturally
Brilliant ! wonderful execution ! Just superb performance.
Beautiful, beautiful!!! ❤️

Can never get enough Tal!
Fantastic ❤
She's Australian! Go TAL!

@@CourtWatchAu stay in your lane. This has nothing to do with Margaret Court.
Not enough said about what a fantastic voice she has!
because it really isn't.
Wow!!! I Salute you Tal!!!!!
She is a musician’s musician.
YES! this exactly this!!
So love the vocal progression that has developed over the years...matching the second-to-none bass skills...👍🏻

Amazing. God bless you.
Waiting for her version of Waltzing Matilda ❤
incredible
And the introduction, the best bass player in the world, as the bassist next to her goes…🤔🤔🤔 thank you very much 😣
❤️...🌹x12 many thanx Tal, always the best 👍👍
Always amazing...cheers...
Rock on 🤘
Best version I’ve heard
Wow! An Australian crushed it!
I've never been a fan of the song but this is - hands down - the best version I ever heard!
Agree 💯
Fantastic WoW !
she honors our flag more than most young people who were born here
Amen brother!
What a shame, but sadly true! Thanks Tal.
You know what maybe the youngs open their eyes on all the mess and crimes commited by every president for the safety of the world you will never be great again , funny a country wich claims to be great is pathetic ,with your next president a real criminal geez vote for Trump really? How could you
I love my country, I don't worship a flag.
By butchering it? I’d rather listen to Rosanne sing this.
Amazing!..
Shades of Jeff Berlin.
RESPECT!👏🇺🇸👍🩷
No histrionics, no needless flashiness or showboating. This was a lovely rendition. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Was tge beginning similar to "killing me"?
Tal is just such a bad ass!❤❣️
Like you.😂😂😂😂
she got them thangs!!
Pure talent!!!! This lady is a gem...............
素晴らしい
Wooo! Damn that was good!!!
world class bass Player singer songwriter !
Parallels Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock 😎
JH rolling in his grave 🤓
Love 🎸 Remains ❤🌷🕊
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Tal you are INCREDIBLE❣️❣️❣️👍😎
Does a nice job. And the song is a difficult piece to cover.
so amazing !
Pura maravilha!👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
Grande
Tal!
This was wonderful, although I wish the crowd had been more respectful to the flag and the artist by being silent. Perhaps they were drunk.
The recipients of music are sometimes more important than the performers. You meant to say that you wish you had clean audio, and I agree. But there is nothing like hearing each performance as its own thing, a place in time, and a truly unique performance.
I hope you get the acknowledgement you deserve.
D-Madness was vibin'

No es mi Himno, pero me saltaron las lagrimas.
🫡the 🇺🇸 and Tal
Educação e cidadania. Top⚘❤
She is an Australian.isn't she?!
Can we get a version of this where the crowd is not heard?
I love Tal and her Bass playing is off the scale……but I wish she’d drop the vocals.
Wait for the Britney Spears version....
An instrumental version would have been better. There is only one singer I have heard sing TSSB with depth and richness - Marcia Hines.
