Kasey Chambers - Lose Yourself (Eminem Cover) LIVE @ Civic Theatre, Newcastle AU

Kasey Chambers ’Lose Yourself’
Recorded and filmed at Civic Theatre, Newcastle

15 June, 2022

The video for ‘Lose Yourself’ is thanks to Kasey’s fans in the audience on the final show of her recent Behind The Barricades tour. After much demand from fans to release the live performance and noting so many cameras in the air, Kasey asked fans to send through any footage they had filmed. The result is a perfect time capsule of how a great song, performed authentically from the heart can bring a room of strangers to connect in such a powerful shared emotion.

Anyone else first see this on a reaction video, then proceeded to watch it a hundred times? 🤯

[becbrown]

Makes you realise all over again how spectacular a lyricst Eminem is.

[bdoubleu]

Sorry guys but it’s her song now 🤯 bone chilling performance 🥶

[kylew]

Holy fucking SHIT. Lifelong fan of Kasey and Eminem and am just seeing this for the first time. That is just mind-blowing to see an artist take another artists most popular song and elevate it to THIS level. Raw fucking power and emotion. Agggghhh! I feel like I could fight a God during that last chorus.

[noelanderson]

I'm a VERY old bugger at 83 and the first time I watched a reaction to this song, I was totally blown away. As you may expect, I'm not a huge rap or hip-hop fan, but I must say I have watched this performance probably 50 times, maybe more. WOW, she really kills it and her old man really shreds that lap/steel guitar.... what a performance from a very talented singer... "still getting over it"

[cletusjames]

It’s takes a set of balls to take on that song. Let alone put your twist on it….And perform it live! C’mon. Really??? She absolutely smashed it!!!

[johnepoetry]

20 years on from the original song release, and I've not heard anyone bold enough to even approach this number, let alone make it their own.
A stunning rendition. Thank you for your art.

56 year old metalhead here! And this just blew me away, Kasey Chambers you deserve a bow, a standing ovation, and that heavy hitting crescendo, was the most epic piece of awesomeness. Never heard a better live performance ever!!! The angst, eeriness, darkness, edginess, rage, tears, and everything else mixed in, (Banjo Shredding 💕), and it was beautiful! Thank you Kasey, and all band members, what a blessing in disguise.

[mattcarroll]

Anyone still coming back to this, or finding it fresh? This wonderful human poured her soul into this performance! You can hear, see and feel it. What a gift

More respect should also be given to the band. WOW they are tight!

[jenniferbangs]

This may be the best cover of any song I’ve ever heard.

[jamesbenjamin]

"Nah, it's not possible.. surely... to put all the angst, frustration, pain, sorrow, trauma, sweetness, beauty and then anger, rage, determination and humanity into one performance?".... Casey Chambers... "Hold my beer!"... Fuck me, that is hands down the most powerful thing I have ever experienced, probably the most powerful performance ever recorded. It's a joy beyond my capacity to express to watch it. I especially adore that one moment before the last refrain where she sings "The last chance that I got... " and backs away from the mic singing "got" (is singing the right word?) and the she literally "Loses Herself"... completely for just a moment. And Casey, every time I watch and hear that moment.. I lose myself too! Brilliant.. Thank you Casey, I see you and it's magnificent!

[jabsluna]

Has Eminem heard this? He needs to! Wow. Not in a million years could I have imagined that song being covered at all.
Thank you YouTube rabbit hole.

[jkidkb]

Life long Eminem fan here and wow I am speechless. This gave me the chills and brought tears to my eyes. Kasey is unbelievably talented! She literally lost herself in the performance. This needs to have 10mil views easy

[kennethdodemaide]

Eminem brought the lyrics but Kaysee brought the emotion. This is the best cover I have ever heard. She tore it up. Bloody brilliant.

[nervrenders]

You just made a masterpiece of a masterpiece

[alexisclements]

This clip doesn't do the performance justice, I was there in the audience that night, and the whole crowd had a raw electrified emotional intensity running through it that just kept building with every verse as she went. I'm tearing up now just reliving the memory of those feelings in the moment. I'm not particularly what you'd call a 'fan' of Kasey Chambers or country music (there are very few artists I'd say I am), IMO she's a great song writer though, and she is hands down one of the best live performers ever! If you haven't seen her live, do yourself a favour.

[alanjorgensen]

She should release this. Its the best song, I`ve heard this year. The best cover. The best performance. She is amazing. What a performance. I`ve got chills.

[darrellyoung]

Possibly the best Preformance I’ve ever seen. How does this not have hundreds of millions of views?

[TheFairyVoiceMother]

Here is proof enough that magic exists. Kasey, what you managed to make us feel in that build up was nothing short of divine. It was an honour to analyse your vocals in this performance. I am so excited to hear you again. You are a force of nature. 💜

[Daniel-bxp]

About damn time this hit a million views
