Brandi Carlile played her first full-band concert since the start of the pandemic at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville Sunday in front of a good-size, but socially distanced, crowd, who were all both masked and vaccinated.

She opened the livestreamed show with Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” the first of five covers that also included “Madman Across the Water” by Elton John, “The Wheels of Laredo” by Tanya Tucker, “A Case of You” by Joni Mitchell and her closer, the hymn “Amazing Grace.”

Carlile brought on R&B star Monica for the Tucker number and “Crowded Table,” which Brandi recorded with The Highwomen. She was also joined by Lydia Rogers of The Secret Sisters for “Amazing Grace.”

After the livestream ended and the cameras were off, Carlile and the band came back and did yet another cover, which a fan captured and posted to YouTube. It was “Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You,” a song associated with Joan Baez, which Led Zeppelin also recorded on their debut album.

During the show, Carlile not only told the crowd that part of the proceeds would be going the Rainey Day Fund, Fanny’s School Of Music and Color Me Country — which had been previously announced — but that her Looking Out Foundation would match the dollar amount. She then added emotionally that John Prine’s widow, Fiona Prine, and CMT had also pledged to match that donation.
