See Brandi Carlile perform with the Highwomen, Mavis Staples during marathon New York City concert
Carlile’s show was yet one more icing-on-the-cake achievement for the 38-year-old singer-songwriter, who over the past 18 months has catapulted from longtime road-warrior fan favorite to Grammy-winning superstar. Carlile made sure to take stock of the evening throughout, repeatedly kissing the floor of the MSG stage before positing, just before her stunning show-closer “Party of One,” that she was perhaps about to be wrapping up “the longest show [she’s] ever played.
“I feel like Meat Loaf when I sing that song,” she said after “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You.” “And I’m here for it, because when you feel as dramatic as I feel tonight, why hide it?” Three-quarters of the Highwomen kicked off their mini-set with their self-titled theme song, joined by Mavis Staples , who delivered a staggering version of Yola’s “Freedom Rider” verse. The group then performed “If She Ever Leaves Me” and “Redesigning Women,” both of which were received with an energy and adoration reserved only for a group that’s managed to capture the cultural zeitgeist as precisely as the Highwomen have of late.as evidenced by the spirited opening set from Staples.
