In 1970, I saw a band called Buttermilk Dispatch play the hell out of this song on the campus of Fort Hays State University, in Hays, Kansas, when I was fifteen. At the time, the song was like a bombshell scattering hormonal shrapnel. Matthew's and Susanna's performance makes me feel like a young man again. Not that anyone should give a shit about the reminiscences of a sentimental proto-coot, but there you go.
EXCELLENT. Neil's first to solo album's are still my favorite's. The band here catches the roughness of Crazy Horse and Susanna Hoff's vocal's add a sweetness missed with the original. ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT. Loved it.
Saw him in the Ventura Theatre. No louder band had I ever seen since West/Bruce/Lang when I was like-ahem- 10 years old.lol Anyway, Sweet was soooooooooooo good.
@@tomthalon8956 Not as loud as The Who Tom. My ears were ringing for days after sitting a few feet from the stage , watching them perform live 1971. Did see Mountain in Liverpool around the same time . Pete said from the stage , there’s a great band coming over to England soon named Mountain. Go and see them , so we did!
As I was watching/listening, I was thinking “HO......LY.....S-T”. I mean, my God! No, @Just Jeanne, it does not get any cooler than this! Until I just stumbled onto this video, I had no idea they’d even paired up, and as you said, what a match!
Ms. Hoff could cover the menu from the local pizza takeaway and it would still sound better than most of the so called music we're dished up with today. There seems to be a trend with some artists covering and re interpreting classics from the 70's, 80's and 90's and in most cases doing a damn fine job of it. That, to me, speaks volumes about the quality if a lot of the new 'music' being promoted by the industry today.
I am amazed at the progress Susanna has made in expanding her song repertoire, with increasingly interesting filmed stories and a variety of stage poresentations.
His emotion clearly outweighs his raw talent which is what makes him so great. His tone and style are unique, you always know when it's him playing or singing. How many technically proficient guitar players can you say that about? I'd take a great songwriter with great feeling over a great player any day. But that's just me.
there's only one matthew sweet~ what is it about that guy, i never even heard an interview of him but i bet he's a good interview, right? i guess i was a fan since 'girlfriend' what year was that, right?
It's been a year since I heard this. The more I reflect on it..the more I hear the Paisley underground sound here. The same spirit that is in "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. It's a delicate but beautiful spirit. It mesmerizes. And we live in an era of people overdoing EVERYTHING. And here we have the opposite. The most careful handling of sparce instruments and thoughtful vocal phrases. I am not so foolish to think everyone would "get this"....but for those who like a higher level of art......your ride is here.
@@safuna170 Exactly. Ming Tea was an invention by Mike Myers and every member of the band had a name. Susanna Hoffs was "Gillian Shagwell" and Matthew Sweet was "Sid Belvedere". That's where they got the name "Sid and Susie" for their duo together. In fact, it was Mike Myers' then wife who gave him the idea of making a movie using his character. Mike Myers then brought Susanna's husband, Jay Roach, a young director at the time, to direct the film and he ended up directing the entire trilogy, and then the "Meet the Parents" movies. Jay wasn't well known when he married Susanna. He became a success afterwards, for those who think Susanna married for interest.
I love the original, but I actually like the faster tempo they take on this. The singing is great, the druming is locked in, and the gutars are fat and dirty in a perfect homage to Neil.
Simply an awesome cover of a great song by 2 remarkable artists. I love how Susanna kicks it going into the lead break. Shes still hot, and can belt it better than ever. Sweet is...Sweet.
Too many people think Susanna Hoffs was just a cutie pie, sexy chick from The Bangles, but she friggin' ROCKS!! Then put her onstage with Matthew Sweet, with a Rickenbacker 325 like Lennon played in the Beatles, and the short black cocktail dress??!! Just pour ice cubes over me, and when you're done, pour some more....
drvee1 - She’s actually playing a “Susanna Hoffs Limited Edition Rickenbacker.” Only 250 produced and each has her signature on it. www.rickenbacker.com/news_item.asp?news_id=31&news=old
@@charltor6 Exactly. And her signature model is actually a Rickenbacker 350. She sometimes uses a Rick 360 12 string, and her Taylor Koa Wood Accoustic Susanna Hoffs Signature Model.
Julie Andrews did a fierce version "warm apple strudel and Shnitzel with noodles and a Cinnamon Girl, with Lagers she brings, these are a few of my favorite things".
My favorite Band and i have all the albums is the Beatles and you rocked it Rain was on the b-side of one there 45s cant remember A side at the momment it will come to me you made night wish i could hear you see you live but i would have to make a trip to California love you Susanna
It never hurts to bring along Susanna Hoffs, a black dress and that black Rickenbacker! Not sure if she does much more than just strum, but she looks incredible doing it! She even had her own signature model Rick.
One of the all time greatest covers in Rock history IMO. Neil is one of my absolute favorites, but I love that this is not a strict note for note cover like so many are. Susanna providing female vocals. The faster tempo. And the additional lead guitar. These guys put their stamp on a song that was already a classic
She was exactly 50 (born January 17, 1959). And your're right. She's beautiful, talented, and most importantly, a very humble and decent person. She's beautiful on the outside, and the inside. It makes somebody proud to have a crush on her.
Susie with her #1 numbered copy of the 250 Rickenbacker numbered and put out 1988 and 1989 years. I have a cheap copy but love the looks of this guitar. Sue and Matt a good combo!
absolutely, so underrated. because the Bangles are all women? I've talked with a few female artists/bands and they all report consistently being treated like shit - e.g. sound guys didn't care how bad their mix was because they're only a girl band. the rock music industry likes to pose as these progressive, iconoclastic agents of change and rebellion but they're no less devoted to their sexism than the brutes in any other industry
@MisterAnimalChin Actually, that's Greg Leisz; Another longtime Matthew Sweet cohort (he can most often be heard playing pedal steel). However, Richard Lloyd DID play on their album version! :)
