Even though its the clean version it's still a classic.

Saw Paul & Jacqui in Cork couple of years ago, going to see them in Trinity next Friday, to say I'm excited is an understatement, they are just unreal

Blackbird On The Wire sounded amazing.

As with part one, ....pure class.

I was there that night, thanks for the upload.

This is so brilliant.

ruined bell bottomed tear. argh!

Iris Dement and Beautiful South !?!? I'm just now discovering this.Kicking myself for taking so long for finding this!

You really notice what a key part he is to this group in this special. I used to think that Paul just brought him along from the Housemartins out of friendship or something. Now you see that he has an important place in the South.

I love Bell Bottomed Tear, she's destroyed it!

"she's a PHD in i told you so, you've a knighthood in i'm not listening" how good is that line

Bell bottomed tear... OUCH :P

... oH dear guys , your not feeling the meaning of this song are you . ..... its meant to sound , sad , depressing , sorry for your self , No 1 wants me , its the nature of the beast Thats the beauty of the song writing here ,its not sad at all - its actually an happy ending

bell bottommed tear...what a turn of phrase.

I think this is probably one of the best live sessions I've ever heard

Good music

I took the wawa in her voice for a soundcard-malfunction - until Dave started singing and sounded normal. She might fit into a country band but not here.

Great singing by all love the real "House Martins fans wearing Anorak's indoors in the video in the middle of summer🙂

sounds like she was drowning and was lucky enough to come across a snorkel at the last minute, not that it would have done much to save her though.

I hate when Don't Marry Her gets censored.

i like that version

I think Iris did a pretty good job with that song, but then again, i love her voice.

WTF PEOPLE ,,, This a cracking cover by a QUALITY American singer , she put her own stamp on it and , gave it a bit more depression

Unbelievers/sceptics/fence-sitters - please please listen to Iris D's repertoire - Sing The Delta is strongest album in terms of consistency and sincerity since Dylan's masterpiece Blood On The Tracks, and lovely to see the mutual respect between Iris and The Beautiful South

1st song is my favourite I love the lyrics to it not the clean one's the proper ones

Iris Dement, this was not your finest hour, reminded me of Madonna at Live Aid, the phrase "couldn't carry a tune in a bucket" leaps to mind. I don't know her but I'm guessing she either A never heard the song before, or B this is way off her usual style

poor Dave, had to be very patient in music bell bottomed tear😏

Dave saves songs lol

Cant beat Briana Corrigan's original lyrics, she pisses all over this!!

No one has ever trashed The Beautiful South like Iris Dement.

I kind of get the references people are making to Iris DeMent sounding a bit goatish, but instead of hating it like others do I'm wondering how that unique sound is happening. It sounds like there might be some echo on her microphone to create the effect, but if that's her natural voice it's one I want to hear more of. I've never heard a voice like it

@steptoestuff It was - Iris refused to sing the line.

sorry after listening 2 jaqui i had 2 mute iris each to is or her own but im not even sure if shes singing

Iris Dement 11/10.

Iris Dement has a good voice, but that just didn't suit her.

Really wish they'd put anyone on stage in place of Iris DeMent, totally butchering Bell Bottomed Tear with that horrid warbling vibrato and mangling the lyrics.

This was an excellent concert until Iris Dement opened her mouth. Go back to Kansas City and stay there. There are indeed many quality singers in the US - too bad Iris isn't one of them.

Whoa, Iris is wonderful

If she wouldn't sing the line they should have got someone else. don't like her voice on this anyway.

Wow, what an ill-informed bunch of so-called music fans on here....I kinda wonder if many of them had never even heard of Iris DeMent before this performance. Catch her rendition of Everlasting Arms, an 1867-written hymnal, used in the closing credits of the True Grit remake a few years back...."haunting and lyrical" doesn't come close. This song was perfect for her unique style.....using the argument made on here by a few people, one assumes they think Amy Winehouse 'killed' a few classic tracks too.....

Don't marry her, ruined by PC lyrics !!
