You can thank Geffen for destroying her career just as she was about to become one of the biggest acts of all time and major artists like Dolly Parton were flocking to see her perform in dive bars.
She's a creator. She does her thing, which is divine. She doesn't care how you or me would treat a guitar. Or what would have bought her success. She's in a better place in her head and sends us postcards. How could I thank her enough?
I saw Maria mcKee at the arches in glasgow in 1996. 21 Apr 1996 - Maria McKee, The Arches, Glasgow. 21st April 1996. Her cosmic rendition of life is sweet was breath-taking....i was standing at the back !
Revisiting this(Maria McKee), it's astounding how far ahead of her time she was, in many ways. Listening to this, is so great, why don't the best rise to the top?
Why am I just seeing this now after 27 years? Maria is awesome! Have been listening to a lot more Lone Justice the past 2 years.. Missed them the first time around in the 80's. Thanks.
Maria McKee is fucking incredible! This album and tour were phenomenal! Her newest album is also brilliant...and, a companion piece to LIFE IS SWEET. It is called LA VIDA NUOVA One of the absolute BEST releases of 2020
Just brilliant. Two great performances of two great songs from an incredible album, it doesn’t come much better than this. Life Is Sweet here is possibly even better than her Hotel Babylon gig??
I love this album so much. Sadly I missed this tour. I’m so glad to have this document. And to think on this tv show someone had follow this performance. Geez I wouldn’t want too… 🙏🏻✨👏
MARIA has created many great works of musical art. Her latest album is certainly in her Top 3 full album masterworks. Her voice is a force both fierce and fragile as the lyric needs.
Saw her the day before at Shepherds Bush Empire ... Phenomenal ! One of the best and most intrinsic voices ever. Also one of the great guitar tones on this album & tour !
I was there! Right at the front. Did you spot Fergal Sharkey in the audience? Place was a long way from full, but what a performance. Gibson Les Paul Junior. My mate has one. Plays better than any guitar I’ve played.
Cool! We didn’t spot Fergal Sharkey in the audience that day, but have since met him more recently. The Les Paul Junior sound is great. Personally think her sunburst sounds better than her TV Special. Think she may have been playing through Dumble amps at the time ? Great sounds and a great time.
I saw her perform for the first time on this tour in the States. It was before the record was released so I heard the songs live for the first time and was blown away. Same with the second time I saw her on the High dive tour, I didn't have the CD yet and it was amazing. Usually you kind of like to know the songs first. I was dropped jawed amazed with tears in my eyes.
So you’re one of those insecure idiots who has to shoehorn everything into your own extremely limited frame of reference in order to force yourself to appreciate it. Don’t ever call anyone a princess again. It’s patronizing and extremely creepy!
What a fantastic performance! Great song , great guitar sound! And she sang that smushy song from days of thunder??? Who would have guessed that?? Shes a talented writer/performer thats for sure
Sonofabitch~ I have been looking for this performance of "This Perfect Dress" for years! Used to be available on its own and then it vanished. THANKS for posting!
I saw her touring her first solo album in London at the Town+Country in Kentish Town, one of the best small-venue gigs I ever went to. Wasn't around when she came over for this album and based on this performance I missed a classic. Thanks for posting.
I saw her at the T&C too, was that not for her second album? Yes you did miss an absolutely brilliant Life Is Sweet show (sorry!), I saw her at Shepherd’s Bush Empire (bumped into “A Good Heart” Fergal Sharkey) and got a ferry across to France to see her at the Divan du Monde, also brilliant...mind you she always is
Its brilliant, I just came across it today, already watched two Maria videos I’ve never seen before after all these years, fantastic (Maria AND the channel)
@@Michael-mm3fm It's one of my videos, I've uploaded over 2100 videos, so even I forgot about it until you mentioned it, ua-cam.com/video/miRvis_gfwM/v-deo.html
Thanks for posting this.I bought Life is Sweet back when after reading an interesting review.Have loved the album ever since and currently enjoying her new album.Great video-I've never seen it before.

Daaaaaaaaamnnnn Girl is so PUNK!! just can't get enough of Maria Mckee.
Thanks for watching and commenting
No one like her. She’s amazing.
Apparently I’ve been living under a rock. Why haven’t I ever heard of this amazing woman. Just “discovered” her and I’m seriously blown away.
She was a commercial flop that had some afterlife in the UK.
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Musicwhatever. She’s amazing.
Hope you're still listening today
Better late than never. She’s incredible.❤
You can thank Geffen for destroying her career just as she was about to become one of the biggest acts of all time and major artists like Dolly Parton were flocking to see her perform in dive bars.
Her voice incredible, her songs incredible. But don't forget the way she attacks that guitar, wow too. She's astounding
Thanks for watching and commenting David 🙂
Did you notice the pick scratches on that first guitar? She’s played it like that a LOT.
The best female voice in rock ever.
Glad you enjoyed it
Her voice is astonishing but omg what a songwriter she is.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment

Yes, Saint Maria. More punk than the Ramones. She, at this time in her career, liked that P-90 sound-- raw, basic and heart-felt.
👏👏👏
Life is Sweet. Bittersweet. Two strong days, this has just broken me. Such great music.
Thanks for watching and commenting John
Yes . One of those artists who should be way more known than she is
Simply awesome

Have you got Life Is Sweet, the album? Wow.
@@Michael-mm3fmNo, I do not. I will have to look for it.
Maria McKee is fucking incredible! This album and tour were phenomenal!
Her newest album is also brilliant...and, a companion piece to LIFE IS SWEET.
It is called LA VIDA NUOVA
One of the absolute BEST releases of 2020
WTH! Didn't know this- thank you!
Just brilliant. Two great performances of two great songs from an incredible album, it doesn’t come much better than this. Life Is Sweet here is possibly even better than her Hotel Babylon gig??
First heard this track live on The Word,one of those songs that just stops you in your tracks and demands attention,totally awesome!
Bruce Brody looking as wise and calm as a Vulcan. Just a beast of a musician. 👍❤️
Well spotted, it certainly is Bruce
One of the most talented musicians ever
Thanks for watching a few of my videos, I look at every comment, noticed yours
@@ScottishTeeVee Just watching this again. First class
@@simondavis7110 Thanks for returning, glad you like this performance so much 🙂
This Perfect Dress always gives me chills! Love her
Thank you so much for uploading this! Amazing.
Wonderful performances.
From back when MTV featured great music.
Back in 96, I never imagine that in the future, MTV would become totally irrelevant to music lovers
Man, this is still f**king brilliant. Always was, always will be.
Glad you enjoyed it Michael
I love this album so much. Sadly I missed this tour. I’m so glad to have this document. And to think on this tv show someone had follow this performance. Geez I wouldn’t want too… 🙏🏻✨👏
Glad you enjoyed this Steven
Fantastic! Two magnificent songs from one of the best albums of all time, Life is Sweet. Yet, sadly underrated. Thanks so much for uploading to YT!
You are most welcome Edward, I am glad you found and enjoyed this 🙂
MARIA has created many great works of musical art.
Her latest album is certainly in her Top 3 full album masterworks.
Her voice is a force both fierce and fragile as the lyric needs.
LIFE IS SWEET is her redemption album.
A proclamation of freedom.
What is the title of the latest album you are talking about ?
From what year ?
Had both lone justice albums, &her first solo, only heard this recently, would love to have seen her live around this time.
Saw her twice on the LIS tour, London and Paris, amazing experiences.
Well that first one was just punk - wonderful punk rock!
ONE OF A KIND
Not enough accolades for this energetic lady. Why was she soooo overlooked 😢 I discovered her in 80s
Agreed, I thought she would be massive, but..
Saw her the day before at Shepherds Bush Empire ... Phenomenal ! One of the best and most intrinsic voices ever. Also one of the great guitar tones on this album & tour !

The Les Paul Junior sound is great. Personally think her sunburst sounds better than her TV Special. Think she may have been playing through Dumble amps at the time ? Great sounds and a great time.
Outstanding video of one of the most versatile performers on the planet
Glad you enjoyed this recording Gordon

As a Bard, I truly need a Scottish woman like this , no other woman can compare.
Thanks for watching and commenting Brian
Wow! Thanks for this. There aren't nearly enough videos of Maria during this era. I've never seen this one before. Fantastic.
You're very welcome! More to come
Listening to this is a religious experience.
Epic.🔥🙏
Ah so minted! Love her stuff, and this.... never seen before. Thanks
Thanks for watching and commenting Jim.
Jumping up and down! LOVE Maria!
Just watching this again...there is no one like her.
Nobody is like her... nobody
She’s the best.
Such a Goth Princess at this time- this entire album is so raw and beautiful it sits in the deepest part of me.
One of the best albums ever
So you’re one of those insecure idiots who has to shoehorn everything into your own extremely limited frame of reference in order to force yourself to appreciate it. Don’t ever call anyone a princess again. It’s patronizing and extremely creepy!
What a fantastic performance! Great song , great guitar sound! And she sang that smushy song from days of thunder??? Who would have guessed that??
Shes a talented writer/performer thats for sure
I wonder if Life Is Sweet is about her and her brother. Such a great voice. I wish she would make another record
Forever grateful to be able to watch another show rush from my favorite artist.
Pure genius...saw Maria around this time, in Glasgow & Edinburgh. Just the best live !
You were lucky to have seen her, I heard she was touring and totally forgot all about it.
You just don't want it to stop......absolutely wonderful !!...
How have I never seen this before, stunningly wonderful.
Glad you found and enjoyed it Steve
Stunningly wonderful, yes Steve. There’s only one Maria.
Have been a fan since her Lone Justice days, but I think this is peak Maria.
She was so great. Loved her.
Sonofabitch~ I have been looking for this performance of "This Perfect Dress" for years! Used to be available on its own and then it vanished. THANKS for posting!

KCRW in Santa Monica used to play Maria McKee. I bought her debut CD

Love this channel, the randomness, for the classics & acts I have never heard of before ! Keep up your great work !!!
Thanks for continuing to watch, much appreciated
Its brilliant, I just came across it today, already watched two Maria videos I’ve never seen before after all these years, fantastic (Maria AND the channel)
Wow. Never heard even heard of this. I would have been 14, I was too immature to notice this then.
Thanks for posting (and for Reddit posting it)
Thanks for watching and commenting Vladimir, I would not have known it was posted on Reddit without you.
Maria and Scotlands very own Monica Queen. Hey @ScottishTeeVee any Monica in your archives pretty please
When I was first listening to Monica on Rifferama I thought “Maria McKee” - the ultimate compliment
Sorry to say I have nothing at all by Monica😌
There's a very early Thrum BBC TV performance, well only a couple of songs, they look like they should still be in school. It's on UA-cam somewhere.
@@Michael-mm3fm It's one of my videos, I've uploaded over 2100 videos, so even I forgot about it until you mentioned it, ua-cam.com/video/miRvis_gfwM/v-deo.html
@@ScottishTeeVee many thanks, ages since I watched it, n.b. @thecritic6998
My heart is racing!
thanks for the new look at Maria
So beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for posting this.I bought Life is Sweet back when after reading an interesting review.Have loved the album ever since and currently enjoying her new album.Great video-I've never seen it before.
Glad you commented, as I totally forgot Maria had a new album out, will go try to get a listen. Thanks for watching
Stunning !
Thank you!
Brilliant performance never had any interest in her before I saw this amazing
I'm totally moved
Glad you enjoyed this
This song was already fucking AMAZING!! Where did this version drop from? Totally awed. . . .
Glad you found and enjoyed it
Realy there's an advert mid song
THIS Perfect Dress
This guitar now belongs to Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, saw his guitar tech saying about Maria and came here to check it out.
I never knew that, thanks for commenting and letting me know.
I never knew that either. I wonder why she sold it. She made it sing.
They could at least spell her name right! But thank you...
Now listening to this, I see from where Alanis Morrissette got her inspiration vocal wise
Can’t even get her name right !
At what time point?
@@ScottishTeeVee 0:37
@@jintsfan 😆 Oh you are right.
Her voice is awesome but dang this song sucks 😢
