    I was a young music critic for a regional newspaper in 1988 when this unknown female singer came to a tiny venue for a gig. She was with Island Records, which was interesting, but there had been problems with the album, rejected by the label, producer fired, looked bad. I went to see her anyway, in case there was a story and because that was my job. Wow. I remember clearly when she belted out this song. Her voice is HUGE; you have to see her live to get the full impact. We all just stood there exchanging glances and going, WTF? Doesn't happen often, but from Day One, there was never any doubt she was going to be a big deal. Deserved success.

      I saw her in 1989 at the Town and Country Tavern in Kentish Town, London. To this day the best concert I have ever seen. Right there with her as the stage was so close to the audience.

    I’m here again, watching this performance that still takes my breath away. I have to do a double take while I breathe in before my throat closes. She gets me ❤

    She's an absolutely beautiful women inside and out. And this is coming from a straight woman. I like for people who stand up for what they believe in and who also who don't try to hide who they really are just to satisfy other people. Melissa Etheridge is one of those people who is not FAKE. God bless her! I just wish their were more musicians out there, more honest and humble like her.

    She rocks. Only performer worth spending money on to see live repeatedly. Like me, most of her fans have been to many of her concerts because she puts on an awesome show..Would have loved to have seen this one and the one from Germany in person. Would love to see her in a small venue. :) Thanks for sharing.

    I remember when this song came out... Gotta love how she stayed focused when her string broke, and used the audience to keep the beat; so pro... this woman has such raw power. Love her

  • @jamfreefall
    @jamfreefall 10 років тому +77

    Other than the awesome voice and guitar what I love is how she breaks a string at 4:03, gets the crowd clapping, swaps guitars and doesn't miss a beat. Now that is musicianship!

    • @angelabariteau

      Especially because the crowd begins to clap faster but she goes right back into the correct tempo.

    I was at this show in St. Louis. Up to the minute she took the stage, everything about the night had been bad. And then she took the stage and it was amazing!
    Saw her again last night (4/5/24) in Thousand Oaks, CA and it was amazing again!

    Best thing I watched today...saw Tiger showing Tiger, saw Stanton blast another HR, but this tops everything...I saw Melissa live in 1986 and have never seen since anyone like her (props of course to the likes of Pink, Kelly Clarkson and I am SURE I am forgetting many) but Ms Melissa, you are Janis 2.0 and God Bless you on all trials and tribulations~ Thanks Pina for the post!
