The sound engineering in this piece is incredible. I've never heard a more beautifully mixed piece that captures the distinctness of each voice in the harmony plus the unique qualities of every single instrument.  The sound engineers deserve every audio engineering award there is for this beautiful accomplishment

[KGO]

Holy shit. This is UNREAL. Every artist and sound engineer in this performance were at their best. I never thought anyone could cover this song until now.

[sarahdell]

I don’t know a thing about Howard stern, but whoever the sound engineer is needs a raise. Every performance I come across, is aces.

[Demento]

A violin solo instead of guitar??? Brilliant!!!! I get goosebumps every time that I hear this cover. The harmonies are just so killer and spot on!! I love it, love it, love it!!!

[Owennevulis]

Holy shit…that was amazing!! The sound engineers alone deserve a raise. Their vocals sync beautifully with the instruments, and it just gives my chills. Beautiful rendition of a classic, loved it.

[russe]

4 part harmony is next to impossible to pull off. Here, it's perfect. The violin is absolutely masterful in the solo. I could watch this on a loop for hours.

[BonnChnd]

Never thought anyone could pull this off. They more than captured the spirit of Stevie and Lindsay. Their harmonies are incredible and the violin/fiddle replacing Buckinghams guitar was a genius move. On my playlist now.

[lbritton]

Jesus, that violin mixed with the classic bass solo is incredible! Great cover!

[buggycars]

Without question the best recording of this song ever made. The harmonies are exquisite, the band perfect background balance and the women all amazing in their talents. If this isn’t a Grammy winning performance I don’t know what is. Can’t listen to it enough.

[kevinlucken]

Dear Lord! These women are incredible. And I don’t know what Howard Sterns team knows, but the sound from these performances are insane and this one tops them all. The mix is perfect.

[shadesofShay.]

Best cover of this song ive ever heard. They all sound amazing. Brandi Carlisle's voice can shatter glass 💙. So underrated its ridiculous. Get it girls.

[jhendersonic]

Holy shit that four part harmony gave me chills. Incredible performance.

[AngelA-qjjx]

That was actually fucking brilliant, they did justice to this classic track!!!

[killabees-mt]

Best cover I've ever heard of Chain!!!!

[Namorah]

Every single one of them is so clearly heard in this! It's stunning how talented all 4 are and how well they can stand out, and blend so beautifully back into harmony, yet be individually recognizable if you are paying attention to a specific one. I'm captivated each time I hear it, and THIS specific one, is so well produced compared to ANY other! This, is the definition of artistic talent across the board! ♥

[jpsheldon]

WOW! Never thought in a million years anyone could cover and do justice to this song. The engineering, the players and the vocals are over the top! Absolute sweetness.

[JFHeroux]

That violonist! Excellent on the violon... and that crystal pure voice! 😍

[cw]

Standing ovation! This is an incredible cover. I love the addition of the fiddle. The way each singer takes the "run" background vocals in turn at the denouement is also an inspired choice. Many kudos!

[brieannadottle]

I think this may be my favorite cover I ever heard. I love the versatility in the voices and the generation differences. It's a sweet reminder that music is eternal and binds us together. ❤

what a powerfull chilling harmony...just love them
