She sings so freaking powerfully but it looks like she’s barely trying. Unreal talent.

[faithgriffiths]

I am speechless… A truly flawless version of this astonishingly good track. Truly one of the best female artists of our generation. Brandi, , you really should record this on a future album.

Howard isn't normally known for understatements, but this was MUCH more than a treat. This was a feast for anyone remotely into music. The sound quality is magnificent, almost equaling a truly epic performance by Brandi and her band. Moments after initially listening to this on speakers, I had to throw on my headphones to hear every nuance of this instant masterpiece.

[johnshifflett]

That is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen on Howard Stern or anywhere. And he’s had a lot of great performances on his show. That’s a 10/10

[CurtisGrant-BoilerLA]

I can play some guitar but dang. To be able to open your mouth and have this come out. Would truly be a gift from God.

Christmas of ‘71, in a snowy hash induced haze, I first listened to Madman; that was about ten years before Brandi Carlile was even born. To think that, a half century later, it would be stunningly covered by an artist as talented as Carlile confirms the song is artistically greater than the sum of its parts. Brilliant.

This performance is unbelievable. Not often does a great song get better when others cover it, but this group is giving the original respect and honoring it while adding some spice. Thanks to the whole group.

[mkrchnak]

The strings in the back are an absolute gem! A real tribute to the remake!

[Jointlock]

Brandi is the REAL deserves to be famous, she's just terrific.

[teetertotter]

The sound production for music is always immaculate in Howard studios. Awesome performance.

[bellabella]

The twins backing up this powerful woman with ever ounce of their being. That’s love. 💙

That is my favorite album of Elton John’s. I think of it as a masterpiece. Kudos to the acoustic guitar player, he was fantastic. Great cover.
