WOW. Love the young folks thrilled to back up this Legend. I don’t know why this popped up on my suggested videos today, but I am grateful for a bit of armor to help deal today.

Jesus Christ man, why has she not been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame yet? Rock and roll with a full orchestra. Amazing. Ann Wilson did something like this with Led Zep. Song stairway to heaven.

Orchestra of young women thrilled to back her up.

I wandered across this accidentally. Man, this is an all around fantastic performance! Oh to be there in person must've been a gift!

Cry everytime I hear her and this song especially! Well done all!

The young lady playing the drum kit really kicked some ass!

This is one of those songs where you can't help but sing when that chorus hits.

Ole girl in the middle (clarinet/flute) singing along is life haha. I love it!

Such great kids. Beautiful. Way cool.

Look at all the young musicians getting this amazing experience. Wow

I was like "wow, that's a extremely large orchestra....5 bassoons?!?!" And then I realized oh crap, that's a youth orchestra

Wow, I remember listening to this song when it came out, and Melissa sounds just as great as she did 30 years ago! The orchestra did a great job as well..such a cool mix.

This needs to go viral!

so awesome, an experience of a lifetime for a lot of those kids and a memory they'll cherish forever!

You give me chills with the combined energy of this performance!!! Bravo's 🤗🌈🦉

A real masterpiece

Im crying ❤

This is so good. She does such a great job with this song and the all the talented kids in the orchestra and choir take it to another level.

More than amazing. What a lucky bunch of kids to play with her. I think it's Melissa's best tune!

I can't quit watching this! Excellent!!

I feel this through my whole entire body! Absolutely amazing!!!!! Best thing I’ve heard during the whole pandemic!

Watch the girl drummer at the end she's singing along and then she looks amazed I listen to this song 30 years ago when Melissa released it and it's just as awesome today

Such amazing talent by those young musicians. I love the arrangement. I've seen Melissa live many times and I would definitely go to this show in Cleveland. I watched it over and over just loved it. This is like the Trans-Siberian orchestra of Melissa Etheridge! Etheridge

Is this the same group that played with Tommy Shaw

I would love to buy this full movie digitally. Like on itunes for $20. I know you were trying to raise funds for the dvd. I feel like it would be free to sell on iTunes, but I don’t know exactly how that works.

I am the first one to criticize the US but this is an American masterpiece. Amazing how Kansas and Ohio reflected the real American identity far better than California or New York combined.

When was this concert? Who are the young people?

Who is the woman directing the orchestra? I’ve seen her directing in other famous bands/singers videos, but I can’t remember whose.

Hi Donna - I am the conductor. Perhaps you've seen me with Styx, Ben Folds, Tommy Shaw, Jefferson Starship, Graham Nash...there have been a few! Thanks for asking.

30 years after this song was released I dedicated it to someone

And then you question, why in such a beautiful piece there are no africans or latinos, were they not invited? or they opted to not be part of the show? Who is to blame? the catholic church?

Nope. ROCK does not translate to orchestras. JUST NO.

What??? Amazing!!!
