Fiona Apple - MTV Spankin’ New Music Week Live (Live in New York, 1999) [Full Concert] 

Underappreciated genius.

The reason she stands out is because of how much emotion she puts into her voice and performance. Her energy is visceral. And the older she gets the more expressive her voice seems to become.

In my opinion, other than Radiohead, she is the greatest artist of the modern era. She is an absolutely brilliant lyricist, an amazing vocalist and an amazing songwriter. She is Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, and Jeff Buckley-all rolled into one.

This is what a musical genius looks like.

1. On The Bound [0:02] 2. To Your Love [4:53] 3. Limp [8:50] 4. Sleep To Dream [12:46] 5. Criminal [17:49] 6. Fast As You Can [23:28] 7. Paper Bag [28:16] 8. Get Gone [31:57] 9. I Know [36:16]

Fetch the Bolt Cutters has been rocking my world for over a week now, so glad this popped up on my up next, hail the algorithm!

She's 22 here, how the fuck do you come up with this kind of music at 22?

It takes my breath away how much pain and fire the first two songs have... it makes me feel more free, to just hear someone express themselves with such abandon... truly no one out there like Fiona

Absolute genius. She’s easily the best female singer songwriter of the past 25 years.

This is where I discovered Fiona. I recorded this on VHS and played it over and over! Thank you so much for uploading!!!!

Nobody writes about fighting controling and abusive men like her. Nobody just have so much pain within and such guts for talking about this pain. I feel her art on a personal level.

I remember buying When The Pawn on CD the day it came out in the autumn of 1999 while I was living in NYC, just graduated high school in the midwest a few months earlier and was living this amazing life now, walking around Chelsea and Soho listening to those songs, rain and orange/red leaves everywhere. I love Tidal but WTP has so much nostalgia for me., every song is amazing. Love Ridden destroys me. This performance perfectly captures the atmosphere of this era of Fiona. This album and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill are two of the greatest albums to ever exist.

most beautiful woman in the world... and i'm gay...

God, what a genius. I idolize her so much. Crazy she was just a couple years older than me when she released Tidal. How unfair that she had so much talent at such a young age but there are always geniuses in the world. Few like her, though, and thank God we have her. I think we would starve culturally if we didn’t have her.

When she did this concert she was 22 years old. Incredible talent!

My favorite Album Ever. Literally not one bad song. Fiona 💚💚💚💚❤❤❤❤

Her piano skills are insane, I’m getting cramps just looking at her fingers move

"My derring-do allows me to dance the rigadoon around you, but by the time I'm close to you I lose my desideratum, and now you."

Love to you, Fiona!!!! ;-) I'm in total awe of this performance!!!! This band as a whole were tremendous!!!! It truly amazes me how after all this time this true/original artist has been so terribly underrated!!!!

Matt Chamberlain on drums- Tori Amos' old drummer, too.

"I know" has to be the most beautiful song ever written.

I love this woman so much. I’m so glad I found this live performance.

I watched this the day it aired ... I loved Fiona and the album " Tidal " and was in shock when I heard the songs that eventually was on " When The he Pawn ..." I'm hoping 2018 is the year we have a new Fiona Apple album ! Was and always will be one of my favorite artists ...

I remember watching this when it originally aired or was a re-run later in the day or whatever. besides the obvious love for Fiona ... the drummer, Matt Chamberlain, is probably my favorite drummer since Bonham. so crazy that he was playing with two piano singer/song writers back to back - Fiona then and on tour with Tori Amos just before.

I BEEN A FAN SINCE 96! I LOVE FIONA APPLE FOREVER AND APPRECIATE THE LIGHT SHE IS SHEDDING ON THE PLIGHT OF THE NAVAJO NATION DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC

is this the entire fucking When The Pawn album live? Holy shit! This is one of my top 5 albums of all time. Up there with London Calling & OK Computer imho.

Before Mazzy, Before Lana before Nora there was Fiona

The audio on this is incredible, it's like perfect stereo ~ from a VHS? Anyway thank you 😎

Fiona Apple is an absolutely incredible artist, totally unique, unbelievably talented and a real joy to experience.

Holy crapsticks, Batman!!! Catwoman is Fiona Apple and she could kill us all with just a sneer and a wish. Wanna scare a lion defending cubs? Use a. Fiona Apple. It just doesn’t get any more fierce, desirable and timeless than her.

The way she performs and feels it reminds me of Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam).

Fiona is just original to the bone. Musician at heart, miss these kinds of concerts

Damn. Pain makes some amazing music. She tore my heart out and left it beating on the table.. And then she gave a hint of a smile at the end.. and I didn't even care.

her voice, the feeling, it sounds like its coming out of her like the most natural thing in the world

This album came out just in time to get me through a long, drawn out break up with my first love. I keep listening to this day because of the genius.

I hear Beatles here. Lennon spirit continuation in the 90s. And it s Heaven to me

Incredible. Genius at work. She's so subtle, sensitive and ethereal. I love their group chemistry. The drummer is rockin' it!

Hey, that's Matt Chamberlain on drums! That's Tori Amos' drummer, I didn't realize he worked with Fiona too.

I can’t express the love and admiration I have for the entire musical arrangement and for her most importantly. I went to see her by myself as a 19 yo straight male. I am in love with her. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 8 years old and I am 32 yo now . The mix of her voice, the instrumentation and her lyrical phasing gives me chills ever time i hear it.

Man I totally love the variations her band (guitarist+pianist mainly) did on the outro of "Criminal" and throughout the set TBH. Excellent musicians backing up a truly original voice

I LOVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL MUSIC SO MUCH❤❤❤!!! BEEN LISTENING TO YOU SINCE I WAS A KID HERE IN LIL ALABAMA❤❤❤!!! SO MUCH LOVE!!!❤❤❤

QUEEN FIONA BIG bad Chamberlain AND Jon Brion?... is that Jon Brion on keys?

Haven't seen Fiona live yet ....Yet!!! Love what she shares , gives , pure! Waiting patiently n eagerly Fiona !

fetch the bolt cutters is a 10 , when the pawn is a 100... from my point of view after enjoying when the pawn for more than 20 years now :) also thank you @Eric Terino for uploading this one I just recently found out about this one a couple of weeks before fetch the bolt cutters came out

I have never listened to Fiona Apple in my time but this is exactly the music I need right now.

Just so damn good. Her songs never get old, they sound as good now as they did 20 years ago. So glad she is getting new fans with FTBC.

so so love this amazing talented beautiful soul she was 1000 years ahead of her time and this will still sound great in the year 3018 amazing !!!!! love love love Fiona 4 ever

Fiona is hot and the band is the same. They really are cooking together at this show. superb playing and great sound!

I always return to this performance it’s like top 3 live performances from any artist ever

Matt Chamberlain master class. my god what a legend.

She is the best....Fiona I love you 😍😍😍😍😍😍 thank you for existing❤️❤️❤️

Jesus Christ this woman is a beast

In this video she looks like a cross between Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow. So hot. I mean, I love her music intensely, but damn, she was fire in the 90s!

I've been looking for this for years..thanks for posting it

Best songer singwriter of our time!

How did Matt Chamberlain get a chance to do this with her while he was right in the middle of touring with Tori Amos? He’s amazing.

I love her so much it’s insane.

How many times do I have to say To get away, get gone? Flip your shit past another lass's Humble dwelling You got your game, made your shot And you got away with a lot But I'm not turned on So put away that meat you're selling 'Cause I do know what's good for me And I've done what I could for you But you're not benefiting And yet I'm sitting, singing again Sing, sing again How can I deal with this If he won't get with this? Am I gonna heal from this? He won't admit to it Nothing to figure out I gotta get him out It's time the truth goes out That he don't give a shit about me 'Cause I do know what's good for me And I've done what I could for you But you're not benefiting And yet I'm sitting, singing again Sing, sing again How can I deal with this If he won't get with this? Am I gonna heal from this? He won't admit to it Nothing to figure out I gotta get him out It's time the truth goes out That he don't give a shit about me How many times can it escalate 'Til it elevates to a place I can't breathe? And I must decide, if you must deride That I'm much obliged to up and go I'll idealize and realize that it's no sacrifice Because the price is paid And there's nothing left to grieve Fucking go 'Cause I've done what I could for you And I do know what's good for me And I'm not benefiting Instead I'm sitting Singing again, singing again, singing again Sing, sing, sing again How can I deal with this If he won't get with this? Am I gonna heal from this? He won't admit to it Nothing to figure out I gotta get him out It's time the truth goes out That he don't give a shit about me How can I deal with this If he won't get with this? Am I gonna heal from this? He won't admit to it Nothing to figure out I gotta get him out It's time the truth goes out That he don't give a shit about me

Una de las mejores cantautoras de los últimos años... esta presentación es una maravilla ... además estaba promocionando mi álbum favorito "When the Pawn..." ese álbum es una joya... eres grande Fiona 🖤🖤🖤

I prefer the current programming in MTV honestly. 24/7 of Ridiculousness.

This is legendary. Shes's so honest

I managed to keep my mascara intact…until “I Know”.

Yeah, keep on skipping this video people. A valuable gem is hidden

I love her so much, such a brilliant composer and performer

I vividly remember seeing this showing after greatly anticipating her second album release! I lived in my first apartment at 21 years by old in Atlanta and I laid On my mattress on the floor alone ( for once)because I was not to be diverted from what I knew would be a new and true experience. Afterwards it turned into a full on education! I love this artist as on of my favorite of all time (also- Jeff Lynne) I

She is such an awesome performer. The intensity at 10:32 is frightening!

this drummer is killin it

Would have had 'A Mistake' instead of 'To Your Love'. Otherwise, perfect set.

Perfect in everyway,anyway, always. Thank you fiona!!!!! You are a part of my life and soul forever!!!!!

God bless you Fionita !

God I wish there were HD remasters available of these sorts of things.

i listen to this every single day. thank youuu

La Perfection! Creación, interpretación y Pasión

I want to know more about her band. Where are they now? She's like the cherry on top of an insanely good musical cake. The musicality of her band members in this video is off the charts. I can listen to them without any vocals and still give it a 10/10.

Still her best album.

I’m gonna draw a portrait of Fiona as soon as I can. I have to show my appreciation. Love her music and talent. I fell for a woman I will never meet or see in person based on her talent. Smh

“I’ll know” is a Masterpiece

Good lord I had a huge crush on that girl back in the 90’s. And for most of the last 20 years I’ve not even remembered that she exists. Life is funny.

Is that Matt Chamberlain on drums back there? I’m almost pos. that he performed on her official “When the Pawn...” album which was ©️in 1999. Fiona is my 2nd all-time fav musicians (that is outside the gr8s Chopin, Grieg, Brahms, Rachmaninov U get the💡). Tori Amos got her musical hooks into me 1st when her solo career started +>5yrs B4 Fiona (w/the 🎹as her medium). Tori relied on Chamberlain for both recording & 🌎 tours in those late 90's-00's as well. He worked on her albums “From the Choirgirl Hotel,“ ”To Venus & Back” then into ”Scarlet's Walk“-I think. I don’t know if he did any other Fiona albums. How prolific was he @that time? I know I'm only focusing on 2 «branded» musicians & not inc. any others he might’ve worked with as well as independent projects or solo work. Anyone know how he worked @that time & what he’s doing now?

Shamika said i had potential

I really wish she did more performances like this these days with FTBC 😔

Her band is on absolute 🔥. Peak 90's perfection here. So glad I was able to take it in while it was happening. ❤

Tori fans will recognize Matty the drummer here drumming for Fiona.

"Tidal" is absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time. Her voice will ring for centuries, it's so incredibly iconic.

Omgosh when she messed up on Limp and laughed and sang thru it.

The fucking greatest I've been listening to her Sense I was a teenager and I still love Fiona Apple 🍎🍏🍎

I miss “Spankin’ New” and *i frigging love Fiona* 🍏🤘🏼🔥

Assistir shows na MTV, sou desse tempo. Como ela é incrível!

in the 90's music was respected. Labels signed artists based on ability to make music. It didn't matter how they looked or how marketable they were. I miss that philosophy

this album is a masterpiece. that says a lot cuz i like to listen to metal but this album i could play through without skiping

9:54 is so cute lol she was probably still nervous from the obligatory banter aww

Under appreciated genius … is right !

I wish she had new music now.

my goddess.

And maybe a little faith... Favorite line to sing
