Amy Winehouse: Live at the Torrington 2003

- Amy Winehouse singing Best Friend and Take The Box at The Torrington in North Finchley in September 2003. It was my birthday and there was a great line up for the night including this relaxed and marvelous solo set from Amy. Later in the evening she sang with the Bolsha Band, an ever-changing group of friends who played funk and soul covers and the occasional original song. At the time we teased my steady-handed mum for bringing the video camera everywhere but looking back now we are very grateful for this footage and wish that there was more. Amy’s set that night also included a stunning duet with her friend Juliette Ashby - it’s such a shame it wasn’t filmed. Anyway, we hope you enjoy this rare footage. Thank you to George Buckleton for his help with editing.

Her ability to play those complex jazz chords, sing beautifully, and stay on time all at once is nothing short of a miracle. She was truly one of a kind.
Do people even know how lucky they were to be present for this performance? I wish I was there!

It's incredible how relaxed she was on stage.
I really like the fact that here is a safe space with no dumbasses to talk about her struggles or problems, just genuiely loving her, purely and fully, for who she was. We were there, are there and will always be. To anyone reading this who just discovered her, join us, the world is a bit better.
I hate it when u hear people talk about her and the next thing u hear is oh not that druggie it sickens me she was a once in a lifetime artistic there will never be another like her and seeing the amy winehouse statue in london for the first time to then find out its in the middle of nowhere makes me so annoyed that some people don't even remember her she will always be an inspiration to me rip amy
@@louiandrews7 Dw I get you tho I was talking about something completely different actually, the people that say ‘so sad’ like they love her, but to me real amy fans don’t give a fuck like really just do not care about her problems. Sometimes they have an eventual panic attack with tears and sadness but rest of the time ? Just vibin and jammin. This is what a fan is
So true. Amy was one of those great talents that was destroyed by life, but also by the gutter press. It's really sad when a great music talent goes down the drain so much that the media and public don't see the great artist anymore but just a joke for the gutter press. It was the same with Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.
@@louiandrews7 her statue isn’t in ‘the middle of nowhere’ it’s literally in the town she lived in and adored
Thank you for allowing us to experience her presence 😊
I love her early raw "unpolished" stuff. truly mesmerizing
I prefer it, she's less miserable
@@LordStompyHarpLoonyTunes i love the 2003 era of amy bc of this. she's glowing, healthy, and happy. her voice was different bc of that
Videos like this are evidence of why her her album is considered one of the greatest of all time. We were robbed of a lifetime of Amy.
No we were lucky to have her forcany amount of time!!!😘💙
this girl right here was vocally eloquent. She sang with grammar. crazy talent. the best singer, possibly ever.
The best ever!
What a talent that was taken from us way too early. Just imagine how much more great stuff she would have produced would she still be with us today. But then again, as cynical as it sounds, her tragic fate and early death contributed to her becoming a legend.
@@torstenscholz6243 it did contribute to her status, but it didn't make it. Amy was often deemed a living legend while alive, by people who had their ears well estabilished in the golden age of singing. i think, being a legend is all about exclusivity of your talent and the exclusivity of Amy's talent was more widely recognized after her passing, because before, she was stoned for her addiction problems. like when they say, you don't know what you got til it's gone.
she's hanging with the greats like Aretha Franklin, Julie London, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald... right in their category, and the youngest.
she was praised by every legend at the time, like Prince, George Michael, Ronnie Spector, Tony Bennett, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder...
Completely agree 😩😩 I miss her so much it hurts
Sometimes I am saddened at the idea that there won’t be another like her, timeless.
Good citizen.....I too have thought that exact thing
that's how i thought when i saw her performance every single time
I am so in love with this... Her early stuff means the world to me.
its always the older folks that know why it's important to record this shit. Thank you so much!
This version of "Best friends right?" is truly amazing, raw and that voice with melody is unique... she wrote it for her best friend Juliette when they used to live together back in the days...
I LOVE THIS SONGGG
The Best!!!
I thought it was for her ex boyfriend Tyler James
@@rociovidela9807 ‘You’re stephanie and I’m paulette’ if from Grease 2, two female characters. But Take The Box is indeed abt an ex boyfriend, named Chris, which Frank is mostly abt. 💕
@@rociovidela9807 Tyler and Amy were never properly in a romantic relationship. They were intimate friends who lived together for a while, and according to Amy had casual sex at times. But they were never a proper, formal item.
You never know when your going to be a witness to history. Thank God for you're mum liked to film.
6:04 😵 amazing!
I first heard her when I was 12, she woke up something in me and I was instantly mesmerized. I never miss anyone other than family, but damn I miss Amy 😢
i wish that i was born in the generation to be able to see amy perform, i was around 4 years old when amy died. shes that one person in this industry who i fully look up to, music is my passion thanks to amy and nurmerous other artists from this time. thankyou for sharing this performance to the world. thankyou amy winehouse for being an inspiration to many young and old souls.
She sings to my soul
Thanks for posting this, the audio is quite good for an amateur handheld camera in 2003. What a treat to hear and see this.
When Amy stopped playing the guitar on stage i knew it was bad she was obsessed with great guitars.
🙂
I don’t think she even knew how incredible she was, one of a kind :(
Wow thank you "mom" , Amy was a true "Artist", this glmpse into her early years is much appreciated, her talent and own unique sound shines through in this set. Only Amy sounds like Amy and she sounds different each time she sings improvising at will. Her short career is no indication of her impact she had on music, artists yet to be born will be inspired by her music .
why does this make me wanna cry
if only this version of her could have remained instead of the one created to "entertain" us...raw organic music
she didnt “ create “ anything besides music. she’s the same person but everyone is so quick to judge and pick out the flaws.
Well this IS the only version!
This ‘version’ like you said was not here to entertain us either, no more than this one. One just got destroyed by medias while the other one was left fucking alone with her talent.
Yeah, what the hell happened to her? Tragic waste of talent and life. She was so insecure with the fame.
thank god for that mum!
The early live performances are all about her soul to ours. It’s all she wanted to do really. I don’t even listen to the produced stuff. Love Is a Losing Game with one of her really musical guitarists breaks my heart. Where did she ‘go’ to when she wrote those words, plucked those chords and sang for all the eternal broken hearts. She was one brave soul.
just her and her guitar in the studio at Metropolis is one of my favorites
I know this Amy would have flourished in todays age. She blew up at the wrong time with a lot of people taking advantage of her in her most vulnerable and lack of parental discipline and affection. Rest Easy Queeeeeen!)':
Completely under recognized as a songwriter. If she did that alone, she would have been seen by artists as brilliant. Ty-just beautiful, with her long dress and baby cheeks.
Not a huge Amy fan but as popular artists go she was way more talented than 99% of the idiots we have today
A truly pure, kind, talented soul
Words can't explain how talented she truly was
20 years old. Woooowww
Her simple guitar playing shows her swinging jazz soul
She is something else..!! she makdes me cry, laugh , sing, she had so big talent, r.i.p.Amy
Love you amy
she was so talented Amy
I love how free she is to take the music to unexpected places.
That last note she hits in Best Friend sends me to tears every time. Thank you for recording. And thank you Amy for giving me the opportunity to know you for a short time on Earth. xx
she had such an amazing talent. may she rest in peace 🕊️
bummer that this song was never recorded as a solo, so much more emotion when just guitar and vocals
there is a acoustic version
Hi my friend, five years later I hope I’m helping and bringing joy

Beautiful Amy, The Voice, Loved her,RIP.
ooof this version of take the box though...
A star is born....
Her in the divine form. & omg her playing is gorgeous, all across the registers like she owns the entire fretboard. Reckon Amy is one of those souls that messages us in a language we _think_ we understand, appreciate (music, lyrics)... But the message is far more direct... The desire to fly free, rise above the existence destroying us 🌟
her runs are insane oh my god i miss her so much
Thank god for your mother.
✨Angel✨
So good.
Thank you so much for letting the world sees it, it means so much.
This is golden
I'd give a kidney to go to this moment in time and witness her, here💔😢
Best take the box performance ever!!
Have you seen the Porschester Hall one ? Just sharing ! 🍓
I love you Amy!!♥️♥️♥️♥️
Jesus this is gold
The biggest sweetheart. That ending thoo wooooo
Peel everything away and this is the essence of this soul imperfect perfection 🥰 ❤
Brilliant before she was famous a diamond in the waiting RIP and Thankyou Amy and thanks for filming this OP
Forever a queen.
i miss you amy
this is so beautifu… damn we really had her
Bless your soul
Jewish Princess of song
Amazing,,,,such raw talent I could fall asleep to that every nite...just so blissful
I can't wait to get away from you
Unsurprisingly you hate me too
We only communicate when we need to fight
But we are best friends right?
You're too good at pretending you don't care
There's enough resentment in the air
Now you don't want me in the flat
When you?re home at night
But we're best friends right?
You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And it's easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between
Nicky's right when he says I can't win
So I don't wanna tell you anything
I can't even think about
How you feel inside
But we are best friends, right?
I don't like the way you say my name
You're always looking for someone to blame
Now you want me to suffer just cause
You was born wide
But we are best friends right?
You're Stephanie and I'm Paulette
You know what all my faces mean
And its easy to smoke it up, forget
Everything that happened in between
So I had love for you when I was 4
And there's no one I wanna smoke with more
Someday I'll buy the Rizla, so you get the dro
'Cause we are best friends right, right, right, right?
Because we are best friends right?
Because we are best friends right?
One guitar and her voice that's all folks. Not overproduced !
