I was never crazy about this song. This version is hauntingly beautiful though! Really hit me in the feels.
Just one person with a guitar infront of a crowd of 60,000. The frail tone of the guitar in this complements the lyrics so well and brings out the heavy melancholy soulful element that I never really picked up on in the studio version.
(back story of the show is pretty interesting too -- see the description of the video)

I saw Tracy Chapman on the Human Rights Now! stadium tour in 1988, when she shared the bill with Sting, Peter Gabriel, and Bruce Springsteen. It was remarkable to see her hold her own in that company.
