One of the best voices in my lifetime. Magnificent.

Wow, she out "Linda Eder"-ed herself with this performance!! I never tire of hearing this voice and this song especially!

An underated American singer. Vienna is one of my favorite of her songs.

It was the best time of her life and the best song/ performance I’ve ever heard in my life (77 years)

This song belongs to Linda Eder !!! No other singer should ever even attempt to sing it ! Linda's voice is the most gorgeous voice I've ever heard. I've been lucky enough to see Linda live many many times starting back in 1996. She is as amazing now as she was back then and always so gracious and kind to talk with. A gorgeous lady with a gorgeous voice !

I love how she turns from the mic and looks at the Choir as they have their moment. What a wonderful woman and a powerful voice.

SECOND TO NONE....THAT'S LINDA EDER'S VOICE! WOW - NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I WATCH/LISTEN TO THIS, I THRILL TO THE BEAUTY OF THIS LADY'S VOICE.

one of those songs, musical performance and singing that transcends. a masterpiece!

The arrangement and performance of this is so wonderful. She sings the chorus 3 times, and each time it's completely different emotionally. First, she's almost hesitant, like she's not sure if she really wants to remember such a beautiful moment. The next time, it's strong and clear, and she's letting us know that it's not bittersweet- it's full of love. And then the last time, after the buildup of the choir, it's like a clarion call. And yet, she completely pulls back for the last line, "It was the best time of my life..." Because this song is not about the power notes, it's about the emotional connection. Brava.

I was wrong-------THIS is the BEST version of Vienna!!

Linda put it DOWN and got me RIGHT together. Bless her light. Thank you thank you thank you for this clip. 🐼💜🫶🏼💯💫🎭

This song exactly says what I was feeling when I was in Vienna again and again. This place is my Utopia.

She's the best at casually killing it!! I always come back to this performance.

Linda Eder represents,to me, the very best of what a singer is meant to do. The thrill of her voice, the arrangement, & her connection w/song send me every time! Thank you Linda Eder for sharing your talent w/the world. We are all better now! ❤️❤️❤️

incredible song, incredible sonic force. What an arrangement, and LInda Eder shines like the north star.

She is the real deal, the stuff of legends. Every song that she touches turns to gold on stage. One of the best singers ever.

Omgg i loved this song bc Doug Caldwell danced to it ! It changed my life . Perfection

She should be much more famous than she is...

Linda is so underrated. Her voice is phenomenal! And the band and choir were amazing

Linda will always own this song. It's hers. It will always be hers.

Not only was Linda's voice in top form (as usual) but did anybody else happen to notice her husband's reaction when she hit that grand note that she hit???!!! It was precious seeing how excited he got. The way he looked at her. It was just beautiful!

this song reduced me to tears ..probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard 💖😰

first heard her in a ritzy bar in downtown boston as a lounge singer and she took our breath away. can you imagine her paired with a groban or a barbra or a dion? what a duet, what a voice, what a person.

Every time I come accross Linda in any video I feel like I've just fallen in love with her again, and it is a such a beautiful feeling that I want to repeat it over and over again. . . Love you, Linda, I really do. You are the best, the absolute best singer I would love to listen to the moment I depart to Our Father.

You had me at "Watching you watching me".

We have all her albums- and had the privilege to see her at the Schubert theatre from amazing seats.

One of the absolutely best performances ever!!!!!!!!!!

She's just stunning, so underrated, such a powerful voice

'been a fan of Linda Eder since Star Search.... her voice is such a gift to this world! this is so the best!

At 1:28, 2:35 and 4:15 - Lump in throat, goosebumps, and my eyes welled up - EACH TIME. I saw Linda sing this last night at her concert in Palm Beach. No one told me to bring a box of Kleenex! I teared up during Bring Him Home, too. Like another fan said - PURE MAGNIFICENCE! How lucky we all are to be witness to such a gift.

i like Linda Eder so much......After All this time is my favorite

I have had the pleasure of seeing Linda sing live 4 times now and she is by far my favorite singer!! It's so rare that you see someone live and they sound as good as on cd.

I remember when I was introduced to this song and Linda for the first time. It was my first Cruise Ship contract as a performer and I listened to this in my cabin whenever I missed home.

I swear I got chills on the first note.😱

This song was my childhood. Grew up with it. Mom played it all the time. One of my most memorable, favorite songs. Love Linda.

I’m sorry but I can’t get over this unbelievable voice! I must have listened to this piece a hundred times and I have chills running down my spine! Love you Linda!

Absolutely the best rendition of this song ever.

One of my favorite Linda Eder song. That voice.. Powerful!

Broadway must hire her again, her voice carries me to a field of wonder, full of it; endless. I honestly love her......:-)

I always cry when I hear this song. So many beautiful memories and people... Oh Vienna... ❤️❤️❤️

The voice of an angel. Delivery is perfect, such an understated talent. I have listened to her for many years in the UK and never been disappointed even if I havn't heard the song she was performing before. Converted my wife close to 30 years ago and just in the last 2 months discovered that my 24 year old son knows and loves her work, he did not get it from me, obviously in the genes.

I was fortunate to see Linda in Jekyll & Hyde on B'way, twice, and in concert three times. She's beyond amazing. I'd pay top dollar to hear her sing the damn telephone book!!!

Unbelievable! Your an incredible women! God Bless!

Every time I listen to this song, she gives me chills! Your library of music is incredible Linda!

I had forgotten how much i LOVE this music, lost my CD years ago. I cray everytime i hear this song. So beautiful

I am from Vienna, and Linda and Billy Joel Songs the best Songs about Vienna 💕

The pianist looks so enthusiastic at 4:15! What a great performance by all. Linda Eder is so amazing

Jesus; can it ever get better than that?

I have seen Linda live 5 times. I ran into her, and 2 of her team, in a restaurant right after a concert in Chicago - the second time I saw her live. Though no doubt hungry and tired, she chatted with me and the group I was with. Besides having one of the best voices in America, perhaps the world, she was approachable and genuine, definitely not a diva. If you've not heard her "I Don't Know How to Say Good-bye, " catch it on KZfaq. One of the most thought-provoking and tender songs you'll ever find: a masterpiece!

The voice of an angel. What a miraculous singing voice!

I think I'm in love .

This is my absolute favorite of yours! I didn't even know who you were and I saw you perform this with the Boston Pops on the 4th of July in I think 2001. I went out and bought your CD with this on it. I've been a fan ever since!

Oh my god this woman is amazing

Hands down the best singer in the entire world!

People born with pipes like that are so lucky.

I'm watching/listening to this again.......the Grammys are on; sadly, there aren't too many really good singers today....some, but not many and certainly no one can hold a candle to Linda Eder.🤩

My great friend I lost some years ago. Before his death I came upon Vienna it reminded me of our relationship ago that ended, years after he died. I will always want to be taken back with you Steven, my friend,my love, my soul...sunny I would kiss your lips a million years, we could

This is my all time favorite Billy Joel song. I had the fortune of seeing Linda ast Symphony Hall in Boston.

I love the city.. and the song. And I love exploring the city listening to this song. Should be on everyone's bucket list.

An Air Force friend (TonySarsorito) is a friend of Linda Eder and when we finally got to meet up again after many years he had played Linda’s song ( Vienna) I was floored ! This women is unbelievable! What an incredible voice! She’s my new favorite vocal!

She's on perfect pitch whether belting out a phrase or whispering it.... and her breath control is as perfect as can be...

I DID NOT IMAGINE BEFORE THAT THIS SONG COULD BE SO WONDERFUL. WONDERFUL SINGER.

Everytime I hear this song.. I would really like to go to Austria.😉 this song really take me there.

Just so beautiful.

One of the best vocalists of our time!

My God! Everything about her is beautiful.

That voice. My God it's like an angel

probably the best voice ever * Ms. Linda Eder * she holds notes like no other. Her breath control is unbelievable. Wow!!

Absolutely beautiful song!! A favourite for sure.

I think she really is the only performer that is truly better live. It's almost as if audio recording, with all the technology behind it, cannot capture her voice. She's so remarkable.

This is my favourite comment thread, people who can truly appreciate things

no one sings this song "Vienna" like Linda does. In fact no one at all can sing as beautifully as she does. PURE MAGNIFICENCE.

gave me chills

Love this song and she sings it so beautifully. My daughters used this song for a dance they were in when they were young, they loved the song so much. I also get a kick out of her piano player, he really gets into the music.

OH my God!, Linda, you hit that note beyond out of the ball park ... and I could see on your face that you knew it .. one of those times when they say .. "yes, we can put that one to rest now . It's been played to perfection. " ... it's about time there was a grand recording of this amazing romance song here on KZfaq .. your voice opens up like nobody elses ... play this again and again ..

Just as good live! Thank you for sharing your beautiful voice, class, and style with Oklahoma. We loved it. Please come back soon

Oh, songstress supreme, you stir the soul and bring the heart to fullness, near breaching with joy.

I saw Judy Garland in concert twice, the first time was three months after Carnegie Hall, and I saw Barbra twice, once at the Blue Angel when she was 21. Linda Eder has more gifts vocally than either of them. Her instrument is so rare and fine. Judy and Barbra are very special, so was Whitney Houston, but listening to Linda Eder I'm aware she can do things with her voice the others probably only wished they could. I also think she is emotionally deeper than they were, in a quieter way.

It's Wow.. What a stupendous performance!!!

I wish I was old enough to see her 1999 concert. Ah, why do bad things happen to good people? :)

Ive seen a lot of her performances of this song and this, to me, is the very very best

Love this song, was fortunate to hear her sing it live years ago.

I love love love this song!! Linda your the best!! Your performance is stunningly done!! I never get tired of listening and watching you sing!!

Every so often one of those very rare, special and one-of-a-kind people come along. I first became aware of Linda from her performance at the 1998 "Women Of Broadway" concert at Carnegie Hall. First of all, I was floored by her range and power and then the flawless quality of her voice. Then there is that magical charisma she brings on with her as she owns the stage and immediately draws you in, taking you on a journey with her with each song. Finally, she made a powerful impact on me as one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. On an ego level, people like this often can't take in the full impact they have on others as they serve as channels for something larger coming through them.

Goosebumps and tears. Love her.

When you were a child, perhaps questioning "what if" or "how can I"? You.. DID! Possibly exacting a certain toll on your life, yet Linda... You changed the world sharing your incredible gift as well as your life with all of us. All of us that simply DID NOT. You remain and will forever be my go to, when life seems impossible. I thank you for that.

Watching the rain fall in Vienna Pictures of another time From the corner of a small cafe We watched the world go by Now we sit here the best of strangers We played the game for all it's worth Endless nights in Vienna's eyes Take me back again 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry Yes, in Vienna- love was alive Watching you watching me All that our eyes could see All of the nights We chased into the dawn It was the best time of my life We can't surrender to a feeling That dance belongs to yesterday Yet, I still hear Vienna's song Take me back again 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry Yes, in Vienna- love was alive Watching you watching me All that our eyes could see All of the nights We chased into the dawn It was the best time of my life 'Cause in Vienna- we were poetry Yes, in Vienna- love was alive Watching you watching me All that our eyes could see All of the nights We chased into the dawn It was the best time of my life

I wonder why she didn't make it big mainstream. She is so underrated! I love her and her voice. She's beautiful but aside from that, her voice is undeniably on par with the likes of Mariah, Celine, Whitney as well as Lara Fabian and Sarah Brightman!

What a performer
