These ladies were the real deal. Too bad they didn't get the recognition they deserved. Oh well, at least some of us knew of their greatness and enjoyed it while it lasted (and relive in on the internet). Great concert footage! Alison's playing is awesome. Those intro's, riffs and solo's are kickass!
The problem is that at the time when it came to female music artists it was all the about the look and not so much the talent and these girls had both the sex appeal and talent where someone like Britney Spears was all about the sex appeal and not so much the talent.
Allison Robertson is an amazing guitarist. She blows my mind. All original and she feels what she plays. One of the best guitarists ever. Rah! Her sound is second to nun.
Torry was such an invaluable presence on stage. She's so into what she does and clearly loving it, most of the time singing along with the lyrics just to herself, and then there's stuff like this: 52:04 Even after 50 minutes of playing she's still bringing energy like that.
Absolutely brilliant performance from THE greatest American rock 'n' roll band in the world 🌎 A wonderful sight to behold... at their absolute best 👌 Thanks for sharing this treasure! ❤
Saw them live. So good. Donna C was like watching Animal from the muppets! She break a stick mid song and didn’t miss a beat. Such a fun show and like everyone else commenting I wish they were still around. They rock and have fun which is the point of being a kick ass band!
@@ValerieToumayan i just found it today refreshing you tube. i seen the donnas in 2008 in petaluma. torry c wasnt drumming. i wonder if this was one of torrys last concerts she performed in? thank you a million for this video post. the donnas were awesome.
@@davembeck Ok cool, maybe algorithms showed it to you because you've looked at other stuffs from them? hard to know how youtube works, but glad you found it!
they had all the key ingrediants for a great band great front person great guitarist great drummer solid bassist,.. must have been fucked over by the record industry
I discovered The Donnas a year after this concert. They should have been far more successful, they were a really good hard rock band. Tory's shoulder injury was such a shame also.
I know the band is no more. But ot's a shame is it not? These young ladies really made party rock! No evil lyrics, just fun, and it rocked! Runaway vibes for sure!
Hell of a show! I wish that they had lasted longer -- and that Atlantic backed them finally, but had less control of the product (the initial Atlantic release is excepted, since it was fantastic)!!
Great band. Even though I'm a guitarist and really rate Ali Robertson, I've got a soft spot for Torry Castellano, she's like a little dynamo. Shades of Keith Moon and Animal from the Muppets.
Shame her body mechanics we all wrong injured her shoulders had to stop playing ,she would've been even better if she played with the proper body machics drumming technique
incredible footage!!! I remember meeting the Donnas Back at 2002 or 2001 Vans Warped Tour in Calgary AB Canada! What did you film this with and how did you tape the audio? It sounds like it is straight off the board being that good of quality. Were you working at the venue at the time of filming this or?
@@ValerieToumayan that is incredible. How did you obtain the soundboard mix of it? And dv tape ok. I still have my panasonic camera from back then that took dv tapes
@@btbam666 well at that time i asked the band if i could film the show, and so I was able to get the soundboard fee for the recording. That how i always do :)
@@ValerieToumayan that is crazy! how the heck did they give you a copy of the audio? did you give them a usb drive and say copy it on there or a cassette tape or something?
@@btbam666 No I just plugged my recorder to the soundboard with an XLR cable, that's how I always do. I must have asked them if i could do it, i don't remember, but i always record concerts that i filmed that way :)

Interesting that these ladies saw early on that the only money to be made in the post file-sharing era would be in touring and merchandising…and they didn’t want to get stuck in that rut. I say good for them.
@@davidjackson2690 , seems they slowly lost the drive, when the drummer had to quit based on problems with wrists and a shoulder. The 4 girls had been friends and a band since young teenager years. The singer said in a newer interview that non of the members was fan of the change in music were you as an artist now have to be very public on social medias. Both the drummer and the singer have since got university degrees. Someone that apparently knew the bassist Maya wrote somewere that she had started studying art.
We need a Donnas reunion!
Amen!
Good afternoon
I completely agree

Alison is always a pleasure to listen to. Much talent. They all have so much talent and I miss this band a lot.
@@russellj.s.257 Doubt that. I'm sure their record label dicked them down real good would be better version of that down fall.

Thanks for the time stamp. That was just pure, uncontainable joy right there.
Here are no high fashion dolls, here are four powerful, life - loving ladies kicking ass, high voltage hair energy!
Allison is absolutely one of the best Rock players alive
Absolutely brilliant performance from THE greatest American rock 'n' roll band in the world 🌎 A wonderful sight to behold... at their absolute best 👌 Thanks for sharing this treasure! ❤
one of the best Rock bands..ever..timeless..if you've seen them live, you know what i'm talking about. Pure energy!
Some legendary female rock badassery!!
2022, and still one of the best Rock bands..ever!
I was lucky enough to see them at the El Rey in Los Angeles in 2006. They rock as hard as AC/DC and I have seen them 12 times.
I can't like this enough....Dayum!
I watched it from beginning to end. I am impressed. Love the Donnas.

Such a great live band.....They need to make a comeback
Oh God, I miss them so much. One of the greatest bands ever.
I like the lights under the drums!
Thank you so much for this. As a The Donnas fan, to watch this concert is a blessing

Bella donnas!!
This was a great band saw them live a couple of times freaking awesome.
Wonderful show! One hour long... they went off the stage as it was getting real good!
They are unbelievably good! This is what I call rocknroll!!! Such a pity they haven't made it to the big scene ((((( Most underrated band ever!!!
i miss these ladies! they were great!!

They sound fantastic. Right on girls keep up the great work and keep rocking.
this is one of the best all female group of all time...never realized it till this year great mother fuckin group period
I love Torry . She plays with anger!!
Some hair-care company missed a fantastic sponsorhip opportunity.
Just f'ing amazing. ❤ A pure force of nature.
Love this! Thanks for sharing, big Donnas fan from when they first came out. Love all the girls, but my heart's with Maya :)
One of the best The Donnas recordings on YT. Thanks @Valerie
Gracias Valerie!

One of my favorite bands. I saw them in Chicago and Grand Rapids . I had so much at those concerts.
This is really good… thanks for posting this great band of beautiful talented women🤙
I know the band is no more. But ot's a shame is it not? These young ladies really made party rock! No evil lyrics, just fun, and it rocked! Runaway vibes for sure!
Thanks for posting this! A superbly captured,
awesome performance from an awesome band!

Great quality, love it thanks.
This was amazing!

I saw them when they opened for Alice Cooper in Sacramento and they were great!
wow the donna’s . cool ! back in 97 or 98 we opened up for them in san francisco… rock on broadway … !
🇵🇹🇧🇷
Saw em in the summer of 98 at the Troubadour
Quite sad the band is no more back in 2017. :( No reunion. Hope they're still alive and rockin somewhere out there.
I feel like we’re almost due for a reunion tour.
OMFG lovin it 🔥 🦍
btw ,..loved all the hair
Thank you for that. Now i can watch The Donnas in HQ. How did you rec those shows?
I asked the band when played in Paris back in 2007. Same for all the videos I have
Hell of a show! I wish that they had lasted longer -- and that Atlantic backed them finally, but had less control of the product (the initial Atlantic release is excepted, since it was fantastic)!!
The Donnas need to get back together and put out a new album....seriously.
Torry makes me feel funny.....like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.
Great band. Even though I'm a guitarist and really rate Ali Robertson, I've got a soft spot for Torry Castellano, she's like a little dynamo. Shades of Keith Moon and Animal from the Muppets.
Torry is on my Mount Rushmore of drummers simply because of how into it she gets. I just can't stop watching her play when she's on camera.
@@ashchaya7676 yeah, I LOVE her enthusiasm! I love how Torry got after it when playing the drums... :)
Shame her body mechanics we all wrong injured her shoulders had to stop playing ,she would've been even better if she played with the proper body machics drumming technique
@@DonaldGerbino Yep. Tragic 😭
Allison has the best tone of any guitar player since Dimebag Darrell.

I love how they are and dress girly, but then rock
Saw them on the Gold Medal tour. Ballsiest guitar tone this side of AC/DC!
Is this the un - autotuned version?
I'm the fan of the Donnas I'm ryan rovaris I'm the new guy.
I f... Love You all

@@westmus thanks man. They sure rocked.
A little thin sounding but fun stuff.
"Half Cocked." And way loaded.
I think they could have had more longevity and success if they had a better front woman and drummer just my opinion
Love these girls. Seduced my boyfriend’s son to “Take it Off”. Cause I get what I want and I like what I see….
