Every single rendition during this gig was unique. Completely different sound, completely different atmosphere without the usual horn section. Stripped down and yet enormously vast. Four brilliant musicians there...
Four incredible musicians, including Amy. Her voice is so much more than a vehicle for articulating lyrics or singing a melody. It just fits perfectly in the jazzy mix going on here.
She dreamed people would listen to her voice and forget their troubles for 5 minutes. Here I am, in trouble, listening to her over and over to get some comfort ❤️🔥
She was absolutely COMMANDING that crowd. She was always in control and making them (and myself) feel right at home with her. They were in love with her from the jump it seems, and rightfully so. This is an absolute treasure, bless whoever put this into the internet atmosphere.
True musician. Can tell she listened not just vocal jazz artists but instrumentalists too. She wasn’t afraid to go for it either. Pure talent in every way
@@bfunirfeyh5822 True musicians can say that she is stoned, out of tune, and really below that of the great jazz singers. But she was hype, and still...
@@S-dr7jx No doubt she was stoned. But she was extremely knowledgeable on jazz and had an incredible singing talent. She might not have sounded like what most people perceive as one of the greats but she also came from hip-hop background so she rarely actually sung straight jazz. It’s rare to see singers today who sing straight standards, and if they do, they just try to emulate Billie or Ella which is incredibly boring. She had her own style.
One of her GREAT, GREAT, GREAT concerts. Not only her voice. The arrangements are phenomenal. She once stated that she wanted to be married, have kids and sing in small jazz venues. This may have been her vision of how she wanted her career to be.
@AmyWinehouse9and14. wow you are so right. Did you know Amy was watching videos of herself the night before? Anyways, I don't know why this footage was leaked after 20 years but I love it to pieces and it's Amy's best gig from Frank era.
The new movie focuses on the drug issue and bulemia wish they showed more of this era and her brilliance She is smiling and articulating so well She is amazing here.
I haven't watched the movie but haven't heard good things about the creation process... I think Amy is best appreciated in her own words, from her songs and interviews and clips of her
Yes, she looked great with a bit of flesh on her, minus the 'big hair', trowelled on heavy eye make up, tattoos, dreadful dresses etc. She was so naturally beautiful and charming, so raw and honest, authentic, that rough working class accent etc. But, something went awfully wrong with Amy... Sad. All she needed was the true love of a man she could love. She didn't want to write love songs, but her sad life and continual failures at the love game with men forced her to.
@@joebloggs619I think we should restructure how we talk about her tragedy. She was troubled, but not bc she didn’t have a stable partner-although that’s part of it; her problems stemmed from within. Probably adopted harmful relationship dynamics from her toxic parents. And despite being beautiful and unbelievably talented, she probably didn’t think she was enough and relied on bad partners and bad habits to cope with her torment.
@@joebloggs619a man couldn’t have fixed her. she needed people that actually cared about her well being instead of just money. love can’t stop addiction, unfortunately.
Can y’all ever just compliment her without backhanded weirdness. She was always good. She was always beautiful. She had her troubles, as all highly intelligent and talented people do. Why remember the struggles she endured instead of appreciating the enduring gift she shared so beautifully.
I've never heard this raw version of Amy, without the neon signs. And it is not a criticism of her "other" sound but rather this concert gives the full dimension of what she was in essence. Amy was always Amy in any context. I love the sound of this band. Personally, I enjoy the freedom of this format more. I am very grateful to North Sea Jazz Archive for sharing such valuable and unique material. Bedankt voor het filmpje!!!

I just love the very laid back setting of the entire show. The small venue made it all more intimate and I have the feeling that's where Amy felt the most comfortable. Without the hype, without the big media coverage, just Amy showcasing her pure talent and artistry.
Oh my god... what a waste. Maybe the angels wanted her to sing in heaven. I still can't get over her passing. The last true jazz contemporary artist alive that I can remember. PS. Amy was 20 here and the key player 17! ( the drummer and bass player look pretty young too) Imagine achieving such an honored accomplishment in such a short period of time! Outstanding gig. Thank you very very much @northsea
I don't know if this comment will go through, but please check out RAYE from the UK. Her performance of "Escapism" on SNL was perfect except for the censorship. She has BBC session's as well. She is alive and needs support, just listen to her song "Ice Cream Man" if you want to know of her past...This is awesome and beautiful & we have it for life now, but don't close your mind off to other people, please♥
Never a waste, but a gift. If she didn't go through what she did, her music wouldn't have been so legendary. Amy as Phyllis Hyman, Prince, Micheal Jackson, and other legendary vocalist were a sacrifice for OUR enjoyment for ETERNITY exceeding their existence. For as long as we can hear, and have sound. Thank you, Amy, for selflessly blessing us with your tragedies.
AMY WAS BORN..when I was graduating from the 6th grade in Compton California, the year we found my brother shot dead in the middle of the street.. When I heard AMY the first time, I froze, sat down, and felt her soul touch mine. I was doing double life upstate, searching for a station that might play her with a crank radio in the hole.. I got out the hole, got a t.v, and was lucky enough to hear her at an award show scraming,.."FOR THE QUEEN!" Amy was getting an award. SHE seemed to have felt all my life's tragic, injurous moments, my mother being shot dead when I was 8 months old, the unfair heartbreak after giving my all to livers who promised we'd never part, listening to AMY'S heavenly sweet voice....and it counseled and comforted me. I layed in my cell absolutely destroyed when I heard of her death, screaming ,"Amy why did you leave me!" You are the only one who overstood. AMY IS ETERRNAL, AND ETERNALLY LOVED.
Caught a couple of songs from this set and it left a big impression…..wonderful to see that this was not only recorded but now released in full on UA-cam….thank you NSJ 🙏
Fantastic! She was at the height of her powers in this era. I am glad this show was preserved, and that we are able to watch and hear it here. Thank you.
I first saw her at shepherds bush and then Brixton the same year during Frank days, and I just remember the feeling of knowing I witnessed something exceptional that would stay with me for life
This is a treasure. I've never seen a video of her performing this historic concert. Seeing this reminds me of how much the world still misses this iconic legendary singer.
What an absolute excellent concert, just started to listen to amy properly, i heard her music years ago when she was the best artist around, she's a legend, her light will shine forever, your memory is a blessing
Toll als Concert, sie so natural zu sehen ohne riesige show und ohne tanzende Backgroundsänger, toll, kenne den Ausschnitt von Amyfilm aber jetzt das concert zu sehen...wunderschön! Toll auch ihre connection zum Publikum mit so persönlichen Ansagen. Hat später in der Form nicht mehr gemacht.Ein echter Schatz!
She was truly one of a kind, super talented and unique. If only she could see all the love we all still have for her. Wishing she was still here. She was & is such a beautiful soul 🦋💫
The mark of a good artist, apart from basic talent is originality, innovation and, above all , AUTGENTICITY, no fakery or imiation of others. Even if they cover a song, they do it in a unique, new way. She not only was original. She also updated and innovated the traditional jazz music genre. She dared to go where most young people dare not go. Jazz, because it requires real musical skill to do this genre that doesn't rely on making a whole lot of noise to get its creative message out. Unlike rock, hip hop, metal etc or the simple 'wear your heart on your sleeve' country style or high brow classical culture stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with these other good styles. She took this more traditional jazz genre and remodelled it, made it not so clean and conventional, respectable. Which jazz never was, when it first started. It was anything but clean and respectable. It was about poor folk, negroes, lovers doing the dirty on partners, crooks etc. Think St Louis Blues, Minnie The Moocher, Stormy Weather, Blues In The Night and similar jazz standards. But this style gained popularity and was made clean, respectable sanitised, made more acceptable so it could sell better to affluent middle class audiences wanting so mething a little more 'risque' than listening to some syphony orchestra or opera, ballet etc doing high brow culture vilture stuff, which is fine, but sometimes one craves someting a little more 'basic', like drugs, sex and rock'n'roll. Before rock, there was jazz that grew out of the earlier blues music fulfilling this role. And, if you listen closely to quality rock music, even some hard 'art rock', like Cream, you can pick up the strong blues and jazz influences, as well as the African roots rhythmic patterns, as much of jazz and blues hand also early hip hophad its earliest roots in black African style music. It's pretty raw and primeval and that is why the driving rhythm gets you, if you're tuned into the rhytms of life, nature, work, the city, the workd around you, as all good srtists are.
I got stuck at first with the attention paid to her relationship w/dude, and addiction etc. I've since been exploring Amy the artist. What a great gift she's giving us with this so fabulous concert. Thank you North Sea Jazz Archive. I wish my father was alive to enjoy this, for here was a man with a 3,000 lb, lovingly curated over his life collection of lo's. Thank you for sharing this with us.
She should dedicate herself to jazz when she's still here. Oh my. She's so gorgeous and her style of singing is really unique, amazed me, and left me in a catatonic state while listening and watching. RIP Amy, my all-time favorite artist. You will never be forgotten. I love all of your songs. Thank you.
She is so much alive ! Quite unlike in her post 2007 concerts - still a great voice but a numb, robotic presence most of the time. I very much prefer the way she was in 2004 : free, happy, a healthy figure. Alive, yes ... Show business sucks, sometimes, squeezing a fragile and beautiful soul for profit ... She did fine in pop, indeed (with such talent, she would have done fine in any genre), yet jazz was her real thing and it shows ...
Finally her entire performance on video! ❤ I only knew the audio version of it. I particularly love this version of What Is It About Men. Stripped down, laid back, dreamy and yet melancholic... The whole vibe is amazing. 💕 Amy was in her prime of life here. Fresh, witty, funny, attractive, raw... Just pure talent and one of a kind. I fell in love with her music in 2007 when her album Back To Black blew up internationally and in 2008 I bought both deluxe versions of Back To Black and Frank. R.I.P. little songbird 🐦🕯 🌹 I miss you so much! 💔
First time in my life that I'm going to listen and see Amy through this video. My ears and heart only admit soul, r&b and blues, but I never listened to her from my own decision. The first few minutes were enough to open the door for her. Amy welcome to my journey, I wish you music for the rest of my life. ❤️

Four incredible musicians, including Amy. Her voice is so much more than a vehicle for articulating lyrics or singing a melody. It just fits perfectly in the jazzy mix going on here.
I think she needed to work further in this direction.This is pure expression and voice and jazz.
P😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😊😊
Love you Amy w now in 2024❤❤❤❤❤
she was so enchanting. she had that audience wrapped around her finger without even trying.
was about to comment something along the likes: "She looks finger licking good..." but you're the poet here :))
So Powerfull …..
She dreamed people would listen to her voice and forget their troubles for 5 minutes. Here I am, in trouble, listening to her over and over to get some comfort ❤️🔥
Same
Hang in there.Things will get better even though it doesnt seem like that now
same
literally
This is really sweet
The Guy on the keyboard... Absolutely Brilliant!
Agree !!! Sensacional !!!!
Genius!
Beste is best!
Killed it. As a Jazz pianist, I was very impressed.
he sure is talented but he does some weird faces while playing the piano. its like hes having sex with the piano.
2024. Who still loves her x x
Always x
Babes I love her more than anything
always
❤
I adore her still in 2024
I was there! Was a lovely show, pretty intimate room. Still remember how big her voice felt. Never would've guessed she was about to become a legend.
You’re so lucky…….
Lucky you!
She was absolutely COMMANDING that crowd. She was always in control and making them (and myself) feel right at home with her. They were in love with her from the jump it seems, and rightfully so.
This is an absolute treasure, bless whoever put this into the internet atmosphere.
Agree. What an awesome show 😍
Tbh its The Netherlands. About as much personality as a block of wood. Suppose even a block of wood can look animated if you throw it hard enough tho.
her frank era will always be iconic. times where the only thing she was high on was weed. she’s iconic and will live on forever. love you amy❤️❤️
The scatting at 5:00 is so well-phrased and timed perfectly. God, she really had a mind for jazz, it's so sad she's gone.
My 5-year-old son could do better. I don't understand what you have in your ears to appreciate such a very, very mediocre performance.
Always loved that bit. Great to finally see the footage after so many years.

I found a recording of this set at a record store 5 years ago, and today i finally got to see the performance. i’m so happy 😭
It's a treasure
was it a bootleg? i'd love to find a copy
she was SO TALENTED. we will never see another Amy Winehouse!!!
Verdade verdadeira falou tudo não Escondeu nada Mandou super bem Bhoter só Apoio
For sure 🎶🫶🏼
Only taken 19 1/2yrs. Just think thousands of people didn't get to see this.
You mean Amy's fans who passed between 2004 and 2023?

This makes me think on how many other materials of her gigs will come to light in the next 20 yrs... I'll wait patiently 😍😍😍
@@gabrielecw03 I just want to be alive when that happens

She is smiling and articulating so well
She is amazing here.
I think everyone should watch this gig instead of that bullshit
I wish more people knew this Amy. I will always remember her this way :)
I sooo agree!!!
I haven't watched the movie but haven't heard good things about the creation process... I think Amy is best appreciated in her own words, from her songs and interviews and clips of her
That new movie was boring as bat shit
keyboard player is mad good! great performance from all. love you Amy xo
The keyboard playing on this insane. Been listening to this for year but never seen film
@@Benalt998 so clever right and fills in the parts of the song. I just discovered this video and think this is one of Amys best vocal performances too
@@dasblackstarr8288 I think this might be my favourite recording of amy, almost takes me back in time emotionally 🙏✌️

Such a voice!
Thank you for uploading this
First time in my life that I'm going to listen and see Amy through this video. My ears and heart only admit soul, r&b and blues, but I never listened to her from my own decision. The first few minutes were enough to open the door for her. Amy welcome to my journey, I wish you music for the rest of my life. ❤️
