This needs to go down as one of the best performances of all time! It's unbelievable.....passionate, warm and ....well, indescrible! Creating and enjoying something like this is truly one of the best things about being a human being...
Now that is a concert !!! No cell phones people having a blast and partying !!!! and no auto tune !!! one of the best female musicians to play n sing in my lifetime !!!!
@AussieMusicRocks I could not find better words to express my feelings ... I love Melissa's music and lyrics are so beautiful.... best love songs ever like Sleep or I've love you before...it will be me.... So much passion ...She is just the best
Like the way I do? ... Melissa NO ONE can rock like the way you do. This IS the worlds greatest rock performance. From the first chord to the last word your performance is totally captivating. I've watched this video at least 50 times and each time I watch it I can't stop myself getting caught up in your total submission to your passion. This video is the REAL Melissa. You only ever show it when you are lost in what you are doing.
I first saw her in 1988 and was so rocked by this song - she is incredible - amazing, talented - words don't do her justice. I've been lucky enough to continue to see her through the decades and she just gets better and better
She's freaking awesome! I had the pleasure of meeting her backstage when she first started touring like back in the early '80's! Love you lots Melissa for keeping it real til this day. XOXOXO
pegabriel61, I was around, then. But, in SF. Heard her sing in the bars, but only on the jukebox, until the mid 1980s. Went to see her, in concert as often as possible, after that. Gotta say, I’m so jealous that you got to meet her, in person, backstage, at one of her awesome concerts. I hate you. JK.
Yes fgnlert she RAAAAAAWKS me. One can FEEL her passion, SEE her passion, be carried away by her PASSION! Melissa is not performing, she's giving of her heart, soul and passion. What she is doing is immersing herself in her music and in doing so is carrying us along with her. It's journey I have taken many times with Melissa and I give thanks to her for sharing her journey with me.
When melissa is not limited by the 3.25 minute song byte in a studio, her songs take on a completely new meaning and direction. She has always really rocked, and until I'd seen these YT vids, I did not know really how much. She has changed the world of rock, of women, and of gay people. Vive Melissa!!
Oh I am so EXCITED you replied to my comment on MrH video I was like I gotta go check this person out from the reply I knew you be kool as hell and right up my alley WELL here we have it I adore Melissa’s music you got other amazing folks one here as well WOW nice meet you darlin
Wo ist die Zeit geblieben...... 1994 im Juni hat mich wohl wundervollste Frau der Welt zu der Musik geführt, ich bin seit dem Fan von melitha..... Gott gibt mir nur noch einmal die Chance ihr lächeln zu sehen und die Fehler von damals zu revidieren...... Ich gäbe alles diesen ersten Moment nicht einmal erleben zu dürfen......
who cares for whom she sings it..... and if she sings it for her fridge... it's still a GREAT song and she's a even GREATER performer....! Thx for uploading
I love the audiences of Melissa's in the Netherlands and Germany. They are responsive, intelligent and appreciative, and Melissa's performances are even more energised as a result, well done Netherlands.
Hier spürt man die Liebe und Hingabe, die durch das Herz in den Song fließ... Hammer! Für sie würde ich grad nur für ein Konzert auch nach Amerika fliegen....
Wow! She just rocks. That was an awesome performance. Not many women can sing with same passion as she does, or many men for that matter. When she sings I actually believe what she is singing about.
She's the greatest female singer/story teller ever. Listen to her songs. Listen to the words. Follow the story. Melissa will take you on a journey, if you let her. It's a journey that we've all been on before, on our own. Take that journey with Melissa and you'll see things you've never seen before. She sings from the heart.
she was almost 30 in this video she looks like a kid. Best Performance of this ever and I have seen her play this song live in Concert. Once made it 20 min song.
Man what a Woman. Since the Bronco bowl days in Dallas to world events. She has truly proven herself to be worthy of every accolade I could think of. SpeakTruer
Melissa Etheridge. This is the woman I respect most in the world of Rock n Roll. She is the Real Deal. A guitarist (and boy do I love a good guitar riff!) and a husky voice that actually does justice to the late Janis Joplin's "Piece Of My Heart." All that, and she's Out and Proud, and I respect her for having the courage to do that.
WHEW HEW!!!! I'm on my feet!!!!! Man she is still this awesome. I'd say even a better performer now. (If that is possible!) She so rox my world and has since the mid 80's. I love this tune as much now as then. How can she still make her fans feel that way about a tune and not change it totally? This is so similar to the way it is still done. Melissa you are timeless. This video is a gem with a ruff end and I can't even say that I care. SpeakTruer
Well said lily. If this chick can't get you up off your arse and dancing then you're dead already. Gay ... Straight ... Bi ... What does it matter when there's so much passion. I'm Straight male and I love Melissa because of her passion and the way she sweeps you along with her. And man that drummer needs a wrap as well. She gives him workout and he never misses a beat. Rock on forever Melissa.
Does anyone know her live in Los Angeles version if this from about 1988? They played it on the radio but I can't find it anywhere anymore. It's a great version!
This video is the closest i will ever come to knowing what it feels like to ... to ... to ... do THAT! My heart's lament is that its not that Melissa is unique in what she has inside to let out ... its her ABILITY to let it out ... what i wouldn't give to just ONCE know what that feels like ++ ... well thank dog for living vicariously
6:54, her high E string goes out of tune and she acknowledges it at 7:01 and the look on her face is great! This song is amazing! She is amazing! She can recover from such things as out of tune strings... That's really saying something! She's a musical genius!
