      I saw her in 87 when I attended a March on Washington about poverty. I've been enamored ever since. She is a beautiful soul who tells the story of those who have been discounted in our society like no one else. She never received the recognition she deserved.

      No, this is what the music business seeks out and kills if it can't suck it dry. The music industry is a vampire on the neck of music. The only way someone like TC can save her art and her soul is to keep her distance. This is a shame -- a shame called Mammon. And everybody knows his address.

    She opened for a great 10000 Maniacs show in this time -1988. I was floored and so was most of the audience - goosebumps, shivers and tears. Raw. Barefoot. Alone on stage. Guitar and microphone.

    Every morning i wake up to Tracy strumming the opening of "if not now" as the alarm on my phone. Its taken me 33 years to realise, but just recently i have decided that Tracy is my all time favourite musical artist. The music i listen to is heavily influenced by what i heard growing up being played by my parents whilst i was growing up in the 90s: Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Simon and Garfunkel and of course Tracy Chapman as well as many others. I feel so musically privileged to have grown up with that as a background to what my peers and I were listening to in the 90s

      I got to see her at the beginning of her career in 1988 or so. (around the front row, Garden State Arts Center, N.J. USA) She was almost frightened to be on such a big stage, (still fabulous), but by the time this video was made she had come to grips with her new position in life and owned this stage. Great recording. What a voice, what a talent. These songs are beautiful and just as relevant and important as ever. Thank you Tracy!

    I went to see Dylan in Portland in fall 88 and TC opened. I had never heard of her. She blew me away totally.. She must have come closer to upstaging Dylan than anybody ever. That first album is just PERMANENT. This set is beautiful beyond words. The brilliance and power of naked soul. She's lucky to have been asked to participate in this wonderful concert, and they were / are lucky and blessed to have her join them. This was the very best of the Bridge Benefits. CSNY's set, and Dylan's, and Garcia & Weirs, and Tom Petty's, and Nils Lofgren's, are all also here on CZcams. Check it out.

    • @jameshw9751

      I was there. Went to the benefit from 86-89. This was the most memorable one, largely due to Ms. Chapman’s performance.

    • @jimpowell6789
      @jimpowell6789 Před 5 měsíci

      You have company in thinking it a peak, but there were reasons besides Tracy -- quite a few, in fact. But I love her smile as she's leaving the stage, to herself -- she knows she threw down all aces to start the evening and knows she gets to listen, relaxed, and enjoy the rest of the evening -- a benefit of opening. I never managed to make it to a Bridge Benefit -- a major flub. I hear there were a some in the early 90s also outstanding, and it sounds like Neil always did it up proper. @@jameshw9751
