This is the show where Paul Simon came to see her, was standing next to the cameraman.... Intimidating her! ;-) Paul then went to her next show in NYC and they went on their first date right before her set. Side note:: I saw Edie Brickell back in ~1989 in Raleigh, NC at The Rialto, shortly after "Shooting Rubber Bands at the Moon" came out. Before the show my friends and I stopped at the gas station across the street from the Rialto to get "something fun" for the show. We of course got a bag of balloons, and some rubber bands, but the best was our purchase of a few kids soap-bubble solution + bubble wands. The bubbles were the second star of that show (after Edie, of course). We were right up front (I don't even think there were "bouncers" up front at this show) and were able to blow them all around her . She loved it, and was popping them and smiling as she sang... Such an amazing show and evening --- I'll never forget that night.
my GOD...... she is so beautiful.... and so cuuuuuuute when she talks.... when she sais to Letterman "you better watch that"... it absolutely melts me.....
I remember this time in music. Hair bands were on the way out and it would still be four years until Nirvana. A few bands kept me going through that time and this was one of them. This was sweet because the New Bohemians are from my hometown.
After this, "music programming" became a different thing. '92 is when they decided to start telling us, "You will like rap and grunge now... because that's all you're going to get. And if you don't like it, we'll make sure people believe you're not worthy of friends and lovers." Look up a song called 'No way, no way' by Vanilla. That was a hit. And that's because two record companies had a bet to see who would have a bigger hit with the worst song ever. Think about that.
@@TheKitchenerLeslie I liked the grunge era because I grew very wary and disappointed with the hair band, glam rock thing. Back in the day I loved Motley Crue, and really wished they would ditch their image in favor of something more subtle and down to Earth. Make it all about the music. Not only them, but several bands I liked. I was done watching guys who dressed like women on stage. Grunge offered a welcome change in music for me. No one programmed me to like anything. If I didn’t like it, I’d let you know. Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Candlebox and Bush were among my favs. It was a great time to be young.
Please tell me I am not the only one smiling wide while watching/listening this? It sounds so fulfilling, like an "emotional" hug. :) Also, miss pure musicianship being showed, even Paul Schauffer joined them!
You're not wrong. I grew up loving her stuff...and her if we're being honest, and you're right-"goofy" is the perfect descriptor. I love Letterman, too, stumbling upon this is remarkably gratifying.
It's because art has been treated like it has no importance. People listen to music on their phone and the full impact is missing. The perception that everything amazing has been done so we wave goodbye to the idea of anything on the level of brilliance because the bar is too high for a new artist to reach. People will settle for the current successful bands and think this is as good as music is going to get. No inspiration and desperate for the fame part is not going to turn you into a musical genius. In the 70's there were famous musicians were deeply inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan and added their own level of creativity in terms of songwriting and production. You are right, time changes but there is always great music going on old and new. Don't rely on a prick in a suit for recommendations.
Where I hail from... its rare to see a bunch of musos sooooooooooooo into it! Wicked groove, wicked energy. Congrats to all! And... what a delight she is...
So nice to find this performance, I always remember her as being very free spirited and natural. Her impromptu performance in a Dallas bar led to a singing career which must have been related to meeting Paul Simon. So nice to see them perform a song on a special some years back and walk hand in hand off stage, nice couple energy. And now their daughter has performed that Father and Daughter song with her dad. Very cool.
OMG do I love this song and how she sings it. What genes their kids inherit, maybe one day we will hear their offspring. I find her one of the special women. Thanks for the posting
This was before my time, born in 92. But I have been listening to Edie Brickell's work lately and love it. Very down to earth vocal and lyrical style. Almost feels like having a conversation.
Very simple meaning. She only knows what she knows and knows who she is an is comfortable with that. Nuther words - no pretentiousness. A true natural talent. Had a new CD in 03. married to Paul Simon. HER LIFE IS BLESSED.
Janis?? No offense but I don't see it at all. Janis had a unique wildwoman going.. Edie is more of a folksinger type. Like Joan Baez, Judy Collins, etc.But I respect your opinion. You may see something I'm missing.
The thing that stands out the most??? Anton Fig's drumming is PERFECT so much that every musician is suddenly 100% confident. It is obvious Anton Loved the song and the drum arrangement, to a musician anyhow.
@@csxtrain8666 agree with you, that is when snap hop and industrial techno came out. rock is still good, however, rock music doesnt chart like it use to. the only good dance music would be from Disclosure and thats because most of their music sounds like 90s house. hip hop died in 2005, trap completely sucks. Alternative is hit or miss nowdays
@@juana1483 the rock music (Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd)and the rnb (Marvin Gaye, Spinners, Earth Wind and Fire) of the 1970s was good, the disco and cheesy Partridge Family type music was awful
I love this woman..my favorite song of all time and circle of friends which is sometimes hard to listen to cause it makes me cry..so much truth in it...
really nice song, nice voice and what a beautiful face!! i love the way she looks aroud, she looks kinda pleasantly surprised! the whole band looks like enjoying themselves and that's just great for the audience (even for a video viewer) as well. Thanks for posting this!
This is so nice ! I use to sing this song with my band but I never saw a performance of Edie, first time I watch her now, and the song is great and when she talks she sounds so sweet ! Thank you for uploading this vid
I love how you can hear that the VHS needs auto tracking!! I hate the 80's but on the other hand I love so much about them! Including me, I was born in 82! Great tune, thanks for posting!
Wow she seems like a really nice person.. I mean its kinda obvious from her songs that she is, but this video just shows you so much more of her personality.
Except jj wasn't humble.lookup on YT her appearance on dick cavitt. She was extremely nasty and disrespectful to Gloria Swanson who was also a guest in that episode.
I recently heard a piece of music in a Cafè and I thought it reminded me of a song I know from way back...!! I just couldn't remember the song title or the singer? The line "Religion... Philosophy.." has been repeating in my mind for the past three days now. Today, however, I suddenly remembered the name BRICKELL.. yeeeaahh, Edie Brickell. I am soooo friggin' "HAPPY!!" to have found this song again. The memory is an awesome data bank..
I always resented Paul Simon who is also a folk hero, for taking her for god, country and motherhood instead of here we are now, entertain us! Jeez, Edie cooks with gas on the front burner
I remember watching Letterman in college and seeing this interview. It made me a fan of Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians. I am still a fan of theirs but Letterman is nothing more than a Dirty Old Man.
I remember this song. I didn’t know she was married to Paul Simon. I was watching Carrie Fishers special on HBO, Wishful Drinking. And that’s how I got here, I wanted to find out is Paul Simon was alive, lol. But, then I heard her sing and though, omg, I remember this song! She sings it so beautifully!

and she goes marries Paul Simon ...a dwarf
She's so wonderfully goofy and free-spirited.. Beautiful voice singing and even speaking...

Here, she's actually rather adorable. And Letterman is about as gracious as he could ever possibly be.
Where I hail from... its rare to see a bunch of musos sooooooooooooo into it!
Wicked groove, wicked energy. Congrats to all!
And... what a delight she is...
Just seen her on Letterman w/Steve Martin and had to come to this video. She is such a beautiful soul ... it radiates out from her.
So nice to find this performance, I always remember her as being very free spirited and natural. Her impromptu performance in a Dallas bar led to a singing career which must have been related to meeting Paul Simon. So nice to see them perform a song on a special some years back and walk hand in hand off stage, nice couple energy. And now their daughter has performed that Father and Daughter song with her dad. Very cool.
She met him for the first time right after this performance, since he was in the audience ☺️
They had a great sound - folk rock with a funky quirkiness.And Edie Brickell's was reminiscent of a lighter-sounding Janis Joplin.
From one of my favourite albums. Listened to it loads when in my teens. Beautiful
Jonathan Holloway Great album. Still can't understand why Circle wasn't also a huge hit, and why they didn't release Nothing as a single.
OMG do I love this song and how she sings it. What genes their kids inherit, maybe one day we will hear their offspring. I find her one of the special women. Thanks for the posting

Love the interview at the end. What a sweetheart.
It was always cool to see Paul and the band playing along with guests. Amazing that they could get so many artists to gel like that.
Not too difficult for professional musicians of the caliber in Paul's band.
Can't stop staring at the dude rocking out on the cowbell....
He's rocking it!!! Haha
Needs more Cowbell!
LauraJean Zangri def needs more cowbell!
He's probably the keyboard player and Paul stole his place.
You just ruined this for me... Because now it's all I can focus on. Thanks for that. Lol
I love this song, havent heard it in ages. She is gorgous, great smile, real music, not like the rubbish out nowadays.
This song has one of the best guitar solos imo
Absolutely, I try to find live versions with extended versions of the guitar solo, there’s a few good ones..
Very simple meaning. She only knows what she knows and knows who she is an is comfortable with that. Nuther words - no pretentiousness. A true natural talent. Had a new CD in 03. married to Paul Simon. HER LIFE IS BLESSED.
I wish she would be performing again,because she sings with sincerity and innocense,and honesty.
Didn’t she put out an album with Steve Martin recently?
What a great tune. You'll never see music like this on SNL anymore
this is David Letterman.
This is what I call talent.
She's amazing!
oh gosshh i love this song and her voice iconic
she is soooo gorgeous!!! and so is her voice. . i think im in love, lol. .sooo good
she has a janis joplin aura going
Janis?? No offense but I don't see it at all. Janis had a unique wildwoman going.. Edie is more of a folksinger type. Like Joan Baez, Judy Collins, etc.But I respect your opinion. You may see something I'm missing.
i see that too
Really?? Janis?? No, Janis had more grit and raw talent. If you want to compare her to anyone it would be Emmy Lou Harris or someone like her.
Totally!!! Just said it to my gf, and this post confirmed it!
I was thinking more Eddie Vedder.
Hit #7 pop, #9 rock, #30 AC in Billboard. You go, Edie, for not allowin' smokin' at your shows! God bless!
she sounds really good and natural live
thats not live thats the studio cut over the footage my girl
This is a groove that you can fall off into. And Edie sings you along the entire way.
such a good old song.. this one goes into the favorites of all times list
The thing that stands out the most??? Anton Fig's drumming is PERFECT so much that every musician is suddenly 100% confident. It is obvious Anton Loved the song and the drum arrangement, to a musician anyhow.
I remember watching this. It was a special night.
the late 80s to early 2000s was the best era in music hands down.
Music died in 2005

The fact there's no actual guitars/ no band playing together in today's recordings.... It really shows :(
Nope.
1970s- early 80s

Yeah wonder what kinda guitar effect that was.

wow.this song is sooo good.
i really love it.
She's so cool. So humble. Tight band too.
Saw Edie do this at Jazz Fest in New Orleans 5/6/2011. Still great!
I always loved this song! Never knew who did it but the singer always sounded hot, and she clearly is!
This is such a great song it reminds me so much of chilling in an empty bar with this song just playing in the background i love this song so much
Que les "nuques longues" ont mal vieillie ! Mais quel groove, quels musiciens, et quelle ligne de basse ! Enorme ! ;) Et quel charme !
EDIE IS SO COOL. I LOVE HER MUSIC. IT'S IT'S OWN GENRE. SO FRESH AND RELEVANT. dynamite!
one of my fave songs ever
Beautiful!
Paul Simon hit the jackpot with her, she's so young, lovely, charming & super talent!!!
This is where they first met
@@brian15571 the way I understood it was that they met on Saturday Night Live. This video is David Letterman.
i'm not sure. paul simon was 50 and she was in her early 20's. it's really creepy.
She’s gorgeous great song adorable woman !
Haha this is awesome. Percussionist lives one street over from me. ❤
Wspaniałe. Great.

Great song great voice what a babe :)

Nothing wrong with being old and he's a normal human with a healthy sex drive. Get over it snowflake
I know I'll probably sound like an old man when I say this, but it would great if we heard more bands like this on the radio like in '89.
TalkShowHost That is because We have UA-cam, Spotify, cellphones and computers in these days.
a patch of awesomeness.
hooooooooooooooooooolyyyyyyyyyyyyyy craaap memories to this song!!!! LOLZ i dig it
Shes great, great song wish she would start singing again
She's superb.......

love the play on words-like Joni Mitchell
Great Song ......... Deep Stuff :)
