RIP,indeed. I think she was singing her own loss of mothering here that couldn't be recovered.Alone in her knowing and in her grief,while the other musicians played their performance,she was deeply feeling hers with pain.
Ozzy, Vince Neil and Sinead had two different voices come out at once within their "normal" singing voice. I believe that is why they stood out as they did. Just listen to any lyric they sang. It's not a doubling trick.....it's somehow in the frequencies they deliver. It just carries so much emotion that it overwhelms you. Subtle but immeasurable all the same.
That, sweet, shy, almost embarrassed smile @ 1:13 is how I will remember Sinead. People have commented on how brave she was and they're right. She called out the abuse by the Catholic Church a long time before the scandals started coming to light. Inside, I think she was always that abused little girl at heart.
I've heard Pink Floyd sing this song so many times, but never heard Sinead sing it until now. It's breaking my heart. We've lost a unique woman with the voice of angels. RIP Sinead. We will miss you more than you will ever know.
2:37 Roger Water's Face .. A Smile. Simple recognition that one of the best songs EVER has been covered by one of the best female vocalists EVER. Simply Beautiful.
This song takes on a new meaning when you consider the wall that Sinead built around herself to keep the world at bay. Beautiful voice, beautiful soul, beautiful woman. I hope she finds a peace in the afterlife that she never found in this life. Suaimhneas Síoraí, Sinead.
I was there too - yes one of the highlights - but what an event - so many people and East and West Berlin before it changed. An amazing time and experience for all those who attended.
Me too, remember all the dust??? Thuis was a onze in a lifetime. Allthough we were late because of endless traffic and trabants falling apart, it was a privilege to be a part of history
I remember watching an interview with Sinead where she said "I don't like rehersing new songs, I would rather just sing it and see how it end's up! That's how amazing her voice is!!!
A beautiful person not understood by a lot of people . Someone who said something when she knew it wasn’t right . People are way too quick to condem people . She was a beautiful sole taken from us much too soon . An absolutely gorgeous voice . May she R.I.P.
I'm left wondering how these two teamed up for this song as her mother abused this young lady when she was little. Carried all that pain all those yrs. we were blessed with her powerful music and voice......r.i.p. No more pain and suffering daily, life is so hard as it is let alone being abused as a child, many of us are left in serious pain all the days of our lives.
Not only does this performance feature Sinead O'Connor (bless you Sinead, you were always correct about the "real enemy"), The Band's Garth Hudson (accordion), Rick Danko and Levon Helm (sharing vocals on the chorus with Roger Waters), but also includes The Hooters' Eric Bazilian, Rob Hyman, John Lilley, Fran Smith Jr. and David Uosikkinen (6:18).
Obviously Sinead is the centerpiece here, but I was happy to see Garth Hudson (ooh, there's going to be a Band influence in this version), but then super surprised to see Levon and Rick on board too! It's almost a testament to them that hardly anyone is mentioning them, they're just providing the best platform for Sinead to shine.
Beautiful and powerful. You can feel this in your soul. Gives you the shivers hearing her sing and thinking about the way her Mother treated her. Makes me cry. Rest in Heaven Sinead.
First time hearing her do this song .. WOW I couldn't make it through the whole song with our breaking up. She's absolutely amazing. A true beauty. Forgot how great a vocalist she was. Her passion and voice is unmatched by any other.
@@rogerwilliams5382 I have no idea of any Pope incident, and he's no friend of mine, and if I were American I imagine I would still not watch 'The View'.
Rest in peace brilliant yet troubled soul... Troubled by her own nightmares, but also by monsters out there who mainly caused those nightmares, by preying on children and the weak and undefended in general. We 'll remember you Sinead for this crystal clear heavenly voice. Her voice is one of them keeping me together dyring a difficult time in my life. Farewell😢❤

She was an angel... A tortured one. But with a reason. I believe she came to open our hearts. And she did mine when I was 14. Now I'm 48, and when I hear her sing, my heart opens. Always.
I'll always remember how appalled I was when she got booed off at the Bob Dylan Anniversary concert in '92. I remember how incredulous I was that fans of Bob Dylan would stoop to such a barbarian tactic. She lived her life at war with the world and now her battles are over.
Rest in peace. I always loved the reverence she gave to this song. One of my favorite performances of all time. I could listen to it over and over again.
Listened to this cover on a loop for the majority of my high school years and revisited today after feeling devastated to hear of her passing so young. I always looked to her as a role model in feminism and always will. Rest in power Sinead 🕊️
Oh the memories! I was 19 when I joined my friends on the train from Stockholm to Berlin to see this once in a lifetime concert. Sinead O’Connor’s performance is even better than I remember. Rest in peace ❤
Hands down the best version of this song. I related to this song when my parents split up in the 70s. But it really hits home watching my son and my grandsons grow up!
I lost my mom in 2016 and this song has been in my heart since. Now I have to mourn to wonderful women and it's really hard to get through it. But, I force myself.
There is something very special with each person here! Hearing them all together, is something unique in itself and personally, I appreciate what each and every one of these talented people, bring to this song! Love it and all of them!
What a wonderful take on this forever favourite song !! Well done Rodger Waters for bringing Sinead in to do the vocals .. absolute purity!!! Earth’s loss .. sing on in peace Sinead
I WAS THERE!!!! I was there at The Wall concert, it was held in the Potsdamer Platz, right under the Brandenburg Gate, (although the horses had yet to be turned back to face the right direction.) It was a hot day, and a lot of people there, to be sure. I remember the autobahn on the way there was so packed, that for a while we shut off the car and just hung out on the highway! It was packed, bumper to bumper. At the show, imagine, it was a hot day and we couldn't wait for the sun to go done and cool us off. It was hot and dusty, the Potsdamer Platz was quite literally "No mans land" it was the dead space between the wall and the guard towers of East Berlin, so nobody ever walked there, except perhaps some guards. So no grass, not even weeds. Just dirt and dust. Not enough bathrooms, and if there was a concession selling anything to drink it was so far away I was worried I'd never find my girlfriend again (Yvonne Kallenborn from just outside Stuttgart! I wonder how you are??) As you can see, they built the Wall as the show went on. We were given white masks to wear for parts during the show, I remember I kept mine for many years. It was a bit far away, but I do remember Sinead coming out, as I was already a big fan and had seen her in Boston when she first came to the US right after her first single had dropped. Boston had a big Irish history and community at the time, and the flights were like $90. That show was at the Paradise on Comm Ave. She seemed to me to be so shy, she never spoke a word to the audience. She sang beautifully, of course!! Funny, she must of had a band, but I can hardly recall the band. She was such a presence. Her voice was SO STRONG and yet so soft and so sensitive!!! I was in the US Army at the time, and was in Bavaria when the wall came done, late nov of 89. I had to put in for a pass, but with a friend we drove to East Berlin and was there for Christmas Eve of 89. We stopped at Dachau, and because my friend was Jewish, he wanted to see Buchenwald, which was in the East. Very different,I can tell you. Through the years I always loved Sinead, though I never saw her again. If you've never heard her album "am I not your girl?" you need to. Its an album of pretty classic, but little known jazz covers. She reimagines and totally owns every song!!!! She takes Madonnas "Don't cry fo rme Argentina" and just inhabits that song with such a force that for the last 30 years I completely forgot it was ever a Madonna song! That album is full of heartbreak, bitter longing and anguish, and its perfect! Even the title, "am I not your girl?" She just wanted to be loved, and for those of us who could hear it, it really came through! But the anger and disappointment towards the end of "Just Like U Said it Would Be" is off the charts. Not until Alanis Morrissette years later had any female sang with such unbridled passion and anger. But, unlike Alanis, Sinead could be sooooo soft and intimate, so personal. The greatest song on that album, to me, is not what many would think. To me, the longest song, the 6:35 long song "Troy" is the masterpiece. Its starts out slow, with her calling, talking to us about being the "phoenix from the flames" than, quietly, " I never meant to hurt you... I swear I didn't mean those things I said! I never meant to do that to you next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead" But than, something happens, something changes. "Oh does she love you? What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do??" When she asks "does she hold you like I do?" her voice just wails and soars in pain and anguish, chasing the violins up through the range! But than she says us that she will RISE! She will return and we will see her in what she is, for there is no other Troy left to burn. The last 2 min of that song are simply some of the most powerful singing I've ever heard. Full of pain. longing, turmoil and anguish for how it all fell apart, with Sinead at the end yelling "Makes no different what you say, you're still a liar! YOU'RE STILL A LIAR!!" For anyone that's ever been cheated on, or more accurately, been drawn into the wrong relationship, given everything, than had that person turn away and than screw you over, yeah, that's your song. In closing, many, many years later, as the years of my life were reckoned, divorce came and visited upon me a world of hurt and misery. For that, Sinead had the perfect song all ready for me; "The Last Day of our Acquaintance" If anyone can relate to the words "I'll meet you later in somebody's office. I'll talk but you won't listen to me...I know you're answer, already." I'm very sad, as she's been in my life for many years, through my marriages, my kids, my divorce, through it all I could hear her singing in the background, just wanting to be loved, just like me.
I have watched this concert hundreds of times and consider this version of Mother to be the best version that exists of this song without question. And her smile after the audience reaction to the first line is priceless.
The proud smile on roger waters face @2:25 is like a proud daddy or even in awe of the moment when an angel is sharing the same stage and delivering powerful vocals to your hand written lyrics and also realizing that this is a once in a lifetime, one off,one and only performance as time literally stands still! Musicians know whats best for music!
She sung LOVE. And WISDOM. And HOPE. No matter the hardships she went through. I believe she was an angel sent to make us see and understand with our HEARTS AND SOULS. Fly free, beautiful one...
I have this concert on the original DVD.....brilliant concert with well known artists....well worth looking out for. Mother by Sinead is IMO the best version full stop, she was such a talented and beautiful singer....why do the best people always go way to early!
After Sinéad's passing I stumbled upon this performance and I was so blown away by her and The Band's vocals here (however brief it all may be) that I just had to get this concert and get it to play on a decent sound set. I can tell you that I got even more blown away hearing this bit with the original mix in Dolby Surround. Played Live in Berlin years before and I don't remember it making much of an impact then. Things have changed. Rest easy, Sinéad.
I grew up with this live and this song always excited me. Seeing Sinead singing in front of this huge audience with his fragility, emotions, humility, her smile and her perfect voice, made in my mind the example of the real artist.....rest in peace Sinead, the most beautiful voice in the universe!
The more l hear and listen to her the more the loss us palpable❤ Back Home now my love. All is well . Mother understands now n your son embraces you xxx❤
You can see in this performance how she balances feeling - moments of intense emotion, followed immediately by a sense of calm and centered strength. A great interpretation of this song, paired with Levon Helm and Rick Danko. RIP Sinead.
Never thought I'd say this, but that American twang actually sounds really good in the chorus. The different pronunciation and enunciation add texture. Interesting. Sinead and Roger are sublime. This should be the new UK national anthem. :)
i first watched this performance when i was a kid and loved the bald woman singing a song called mother. never imagined i would move to her country one day... and that i would be crying her death with her people ... hope you find the peace you deserve sinéad... here we're still looking for it, too...❤
Awesome performance.. hearing other guitarists faithfully play Gilmours parts note perfectly shows how good those parts are.. this solo sends shivers no mater who plays it..
Sinead had An Amazing Voice. She fought for what was In Her Heart. I'm loving this Sinead O'Connor's & Roger Water's * Mother * Cover . Rest In Peace Beautiful Soul ✨❤️
Oh Sinead.. I will NEVER FORGET YOU OR YOUR STORY!! This one rips my heart out 💔 Rest Well beautiful, if there's anyone who deserves peace...ITS YOU 😢❤
Quelle superbe interprétation de Mother, inoubliable, intemporelle. C'est ma version préférée, elle me donne la chair de poule chaque fois, et j'en redemande. RIP Sinéad et merci pour l'ensemble de ton œuvre.
She had a voice of the land from where she came. A voice of the wind and the rain. A voice like a storm and like a gentle sunrise.
This comment gave me goosebumps bcuz it is so true
Thats beautifully said. x 😞
I heard her sing a traditional Irish folk song. The most beautiful rendition ever.
Beautifully said.
With the sadness and anger of the land. Well said!
Such an amazing voice. Her voice still gives me goosebumbs even after all these years. May she rest in peace!
I came here. Exactly for same reason you did. I hope She will find peace where She Is now.
@gaelsaussereau4375 Me too. Sad day...and such an angelic voice.
Me too, love her.
si, Magnefique
Descanse em paz! Que Deus tenha piedade da sua alma!
She could have sung the phone book. People would have loved it.
She was so heartbreakingly beautiful. Inside and outside.
I miss her❣️
i miss her to...
You're right mate, she was stunning.
Да, прекрасной, чуткой, хрупкой! Это трагедия. ❤❤❤❤❤
A very sad day a voice ov an angel we have lost sleepmy sister
She could even have sung braille and it would of been beautiful
RIP Sinead O'Connor. She sang this song so beautifully
RIP,indeed.
I think she was singing her own loss of mothering here that couldn't be recovered.Alone in her knowing and in her grief,while the other musicians played their performance,she was deeply feeling hers with pain.
@@mary37713 Bless you as well 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹

RIP Sinead O'conner. We will miss you.
The magic of Sinead`s voice is how she can go from silky smooth whisper to opera like power in an instant.
You are absolutely right ❤ this is so heartbreaking that she past away 😢
@@Shellbell111it is heartbreaking
Ozzy, Vince Neil and Sinead had two different voices come out at once within their "normal" singing voice. I believe that is why they stood out as they did. Just listen to any lyric they sang. It's not a doubling trick.....it's somehow in the frequencies they deliver. It just carries so much emotion that it overwhelms you. Subtle but immeasurable all the same.
That, sweet, shy, almost embarrassed smile @ 1:13 is how I will remember Sinead. People have commented on how brave she was and they're right. She called out the abuse by the Catholic Church a long time before the scandals started coming to light. Inside, I think she was always that abused little girl at heart.
I've heard Pink Floyd sing this song so many times, but never heard Sinead sing it until now. It's breaking my heart. We've lost a unique woman with the voice of angels. RIP Sinead. We will miss you more than you will ever know.
This intrigued me so I tried to find a video of Pink Floyd doing Make Me a Channel of Your Peace and I can't find it. Can you direct me to it?
Guessing from what you say you've never seen the concert this was taken from? czcams.com/video/5sQD-ZLiymU/video.html

Well it doesn't get any better than that.
Qual ano foi isso?
1990
Wow my faves together. Just discovered this😢😢😢
I'm not sure how Roger arranged that collaboration with Sinead but it definitely worked...wow.
He probably had his people call her people. Agents have to do something to earn their cut.
The arrangement swelling from beautiful Sinead and accordion to full band and instrumentation.
This song takes on a new meaning when you consider the wall that Sinead built around herself to keep the world at bay. Beautiful voice, beautiful soul, beautiful woman. I hope she finds a peace in the afterlife that she never found in this life. Suaimhneas Síoraí, Sinead.
Such intensity and power!😢
Deeper, Sinéad’s mother was a monster. No surprise she was chosen to sing this song
Nicely said xx
I had the privilege to be at this concert even though it was much more than that ..And Sineads performance was definitely the highlight..
I was there too - yes one of the highlights - but what an event - so many people and East and West Berlin before it changed. An amazing time and experience for all those who attended.

That's how amazing her voice is!!!
She can be hot, too, which doesn't count against anything...
Came back to watch this for the 100th time to say goodbye to Sinead. RIP.
The lady definitely had a beautiful voice. Very sad to hear she’s passed away today. She was a troubled soul.
Was she troubled, or the world she indured livin in?
@@cruxie1, maybe both.
Her mind was troubled, not her soul.
Her soul was pure ❤
❤
Those two lines she delivers between 5 mins and 5 mins 20 seconds is one of the most emotionally powrful 20 seconds of music I've ever witnessed.
Operatic.
A beautiful person not understood by a lot of people . Someone who said something when she knew it wasn’t right . People are way too quick to condem people . She was a beautiful sole taken from us much too soon . An absolutely gorgeous voice . May she R.I.P.
Look how Roger looked at her he knew he was in the presence of something so special RIP SINEAD ❤
I was thinking exactly the same, what an amazing moment for Roger and everyone there

Rest in Heaven Sinead.

This is my favorite version of this song. Sinead O'Connor delivers power with great ease.
"Mother will she break my heart" line from Sinèad - I lost it. She was right in the pocket of soul and intent of this Waters song. 😢
What an incredible version of the song.
She Absolutely nailed the song
She's TRULY AMAZING! Too much TALENT to measure! I've loved her since the first time I ever heard her back in the 80's.
I'll always remember how appalled I was when she got booed off at the Bob Dylan Anniversary concert in '92. I remember how incredulous I was that fans of Bob Dylan would stoop to such a barbarian tactic. She lived her life at war with the world and now her battles are over.
This is one of my all time favourite videos. Just seeing Levon and Rick harmonizing to Sinead's powerful voice is beyond great.
Rest in peace. I always loved the reverence she gave to this song. One of my favorite performances of all time. I could listen to it over and over again.
Yes, I had to be sure it was them... Yet no mention of these legends in the description.

Me too ❤ and coming back to this video and seeing so many new comments fills my heart
The way she's so vulnerable and shares her emotions and pain with all of us, that is what makes her so beautiful and special.
So true
Oh please , go get your heart removed from your sleeve , “Oh look at me , oh the humanity is unbearable “…
Tener que cantar esta canción sabiendo todo lo que había sufrido con su propia madre ha de ver sido un tormento para ella 😢 descansa en Paz 😘❤️🩹❤️🩹
I’ve always thought that about that experience for her
Cuánto talento se llevó ésta gran artista!! ❤
Oh the memories! I was 19 when I joined my friends on the train from Stockholm to Berlin to see this once in a lifetime concert. Sinead O’Connor’s performance is even better than I remember. Rest in peace ❤
Man, O'Connor and the guys from The Band absolutely killed it, I might even like this version better than the original
Yes, what a line up!
Glad to say i was there!
Speechless at how powerful this is. I was in the military when the Berlin Wall fell...Sinéad is such a bad-ass. ♥️
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Sinead, you have returned home now. And I will miss you while I am still here. Hell of a ride.
What an amazing performance… Sinéad, you nearly drove me to tears. We all miss you so much.
R.I.P., you beautiful soul!
Just nearly? I’m in bits.

I had to put in for a pass, but with a friend we drove to East Berlin and was there for Christmas Eve of 89. We stopped at Dachau, and because my friend was Jewish, he wanted to see Buchenwald, which was in the East. Very different,I can tell you.
Through the years I always loved Sinead, though I never saw her again. If you've never heard her album "am I not your girl?" you need to. Its an album of pretty classic, but little known jazz covers. She reimagines and totally owns every song!!!! She takes Madonnas "Don't cry fo rme Argentina" and just inhabits that song with such a force that for the last 30 years I completely forgot it was ever a Madonna song! That album is full of heartbreak, bitter longing and anguish, and its perfect! Even the title, "am I not your girl?" She just wanted to be loved, and for those of us who could hear it, it really came through! But the anger and disappointment towards the end of "Just Like U Said it Would Be" is off the charts. Not until Alanis Morrissette years later had any female sang with such unbridled passion and anger. But, unlike Alanis, Sinead could be sooooo soft and intimate, so personal.
The greatest song on that album, to me, is not what many would think. To me, the longest song, the 6:35 long song "Troy" is the masterpiece. Its starts out slow, with her calling, talking to us about being the "phoenix from the flames" than, quietly, " I never meant to hurt you... I swear I didn't mean those things I said! I never meant to do that to you next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead" But than, something happens, something changes. "Oh does she love you? What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do??"
When she asks "does she hold you like I do?" her voice just wails and soars in pain and anguish, chasing the violins up through the range!
But than she says us that she will RISE! She will return and we will see her in what she is, for there is no other Troy left to burn. The last 2 min of that song are simply some of the most powerful singing I've ever heard. Full of pain. longing, turmoil and anguish for how it all fell apart, with Sinead at the end yelling "Makes no different what you say, you're still a liar! YOU'RE STILL A LIAR!!" For anyone that's ever been cheated on, or more accurately, been drawn into the wrong relationship, given everything, than had that person turn away and than screw you over, yeah, that's your song.
In closing, many, many years later, as the years of my life were reckoned, divorce came and visited upon me a world of hurt and misery. For that, Sinead had the perfect song all ready for me; "The Last Day of our Acquaintance" If anyone can relate to the words "I'll meet you later in somebody's office. I'll talk but you won't listen to me...I know you're answer, already."
I'm very sad, as she's been in my life for many years, through my marriages, my kids, my divorce, through it all I could hear her singing in the background, just wanting to be loved, just like me.
What a beautiful tribute! Thanks for sharing so many details 🤗
I have watched this concert hundreds of times and consider this version of Mother to be the best version that exists of this song without question. And her smile after the audience reaction to the first line is priceless.
Not sure how you can't like her voice, everything she touches with her voice turns to gold. Can't get enough!
The proud smile on roger waters face @2:25 is like a proud daddy or even in awe of the moment when an angel is sharing the same stage and delivering powerful vocals to your hand written lyrics and also realizing that this is a once in a lifetime, one off,one and only performance as time literally stands still! Musicians know whats best for music!
She sung LOVE. And WISDOM. And HOPE. No matter the hardships she went through. I believe she was an angel sent to make us see and understand with our HEARTS AND SOULS. Fly free, beautiful one...
Sinead O'Connor & Garth Hudson: iconic even in this time..❤👈(from Jujuy,Argentina)
I have this concert on the original DVD.....brilliant concert with well known artists....well worth looking out for. Mother by Sinead is IMO the best version full stop, she was such a talented and beautiful singer....why do the best people always go way to early!
Magnificent legendary version! They all bring it together, Sinead, the legendary members of the Band and Waters of course!
After Sinéad's passing I stumbled upon this performance and I was so blown away by her and The Band's vocals here (however brief it all may be) that I just had to get this concert and get it to play on a decent sound set. I can tell you that I got even more blown away hearing this bit with the original mix in Dolby Surround. Played Live in Berlin years before and I don't remember it making much of an impact then. Things have changed. Rest easy, Sinéad.
Just exquisite, as Sinead always was. The face and voice of an angel ❤❤❤❤
I grew up with this live and this song always excited me. Seeing Sinead singing in front of this huge audience with his fragility, emotions, humility, her smile and her perfect voice, made in my mind the example of the real artist.....rest in peace Sinead, the most beautiful voice in the universe!
Nothing like her before. Come back soon Sinead. We need you.
I said it 10 years ago: this is my favorite version of this song. I’ve always been on her side. Anyone defending her now is too late and disingenuous.
What a voice shine on Sinead where ever you are ❤
she was so gorgeous, what a smile, voice, love this song, love pink floyd & Sinead, great Irish woman
The more l hear and listen to her the more the loss us palpable❤
Back Home now my love. All is well . Mother understands now n your son embraces you xxx❤
Such a great fit for this song. She was a true artist
RIP SINEAD. YOUR GOLDEN VOICE WILL BE MISSED BY ALL.🙏🙏🙏🙏
You can see in this performance how she balances feeling - moments of intense emotion, followed immediately by a sense of calm and centered strength. A great interpretation of this song, paired with Levon Helm and Rick Danko. RIP Sinead.
Espero que ahora hayas encontrado la paz que tanto buscaste
Gracias por toda tu música
😔😔😔😢😢😢♥️♥️
RIP
Sinead O'connor
Never thought I'd say this, but that American twang actually sounds really good in the chorus. The different pronunciation and enunciation add texture. Interesting. Sinead and Roger are sublime. This should be the new UK national anthem. :)
One the greatest covers by Sinead. Beautiful.
You really can not get much better than Sinead O'Connor .... goose bumps. Love this performance. Classic.
Yes
😂❤
Freakin' Levon Helm. God I miss that guy

Too bad they're both gone.
So glad I came across this tonight....R.I.P.....Sinead O'Connor, much love.

Goosebumps and tears. The voice, the event, the song...perfect.

Awesome performance.. hearing other guitarists faithfully play Gilmours parts note perfectly shows how good those parts are.. this solo sends shivers no mater who plays it..
One of the few people who was able to out-Roger Roger himself. RIP
Sinead had An Amazing Voice. She fought for what was In Her Heart.
