Joan Jett and Michael J. Fox perform Light of Day at the 2017 Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Gala in Ottawa, Ontario. BE SURE TO ALSO CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO: • STONE TEMPLE PILOTS "P...
For a bit of context, this was in 2017 in Ottawa, Ontario when Michael was being honored with a Governor General's Performing Arts Award, think Kennedy Center Honors except Canadian. Joan actually flew from Texas to Ottawa and back to Texas again in a 24 hour period just to perform this one song with Michael.
thank you for that piece of information, that truly makes it even more special. I have been a longtime fan of them both and I have to admit, this got me a little choked up seeing them perform together 30 years after Light of Day was released. especially considering MJF's struggle with Parkinsons.
@@sickboystang God bless Michael! And Joan Jett. She is very fond of Michael. Arent we all!# love too both of them! Their incredible tal ents have thoroughly enriched my life so many ways and times!!
Interesting thing to say, but no need to replicate. He's had moments that stand aside from a big theater success. Michael Fox is not totally dated like Back to the Future.
I wasn't necessarily talking about movies. He's a really good humble person. You know.... something that todays politics and hive mind (left) just crap all over.
I saw an interview recently with Joan Jett. She said she loved working with him on Light of Day and that he was Extremely helpful to her in the movie. (She also said he really does play guitar and is pretty good). They are still friends to this day.
Impressive of MJF to play guitar since he have Parkinson. A big bow to the floor to a great actor, and to all the roles he's had during the 80's and 90's. Also a great thumbs up to the hottest rocker that still shows style: Joan Jett. Never understate a great rocker, it can riff you up come tabs.
When I have tremors and shaking my hands, it is very difficult something to play (I play piano). I don´t understand how MJF can handl it... I admire him for it. He must have very powerful will to play - it is a love of music... :-)
I Aplawd You!!!! God Speed Ahead power thru !!!! I had open heart a year ago and am having trouble again. All of my Admarition to the Both of You!!!!!! Keep playing, take care,bob
Absolutely. I'm a writer living with Parkinson's, and it is the love of the craft that allows me to push through all the challenges and type. I make mistakes, but it's through love and determination that I am able to do the work. I imagine it's the same for MJF with playing the guitar.
Look who's still dressing like Alex P. Keaton. All my love and prayers to you. And to the Queen, Joan Jett, the mother of my rock n' roll heart, continuous blessings to you. Thank you for little trip back to the eighties.
What friendship these two share. Yes I can see they are comfortable with each other. Joan sounds absolutely fantastic. Her voice is still powerful and she puts on an amazing show. As for Michael J. Fox? Still one of the best people of the world. So much courage and strength and a great inspiration to all.
I'm 3 years late, nearly 4 Michael J. fox has parkinson since the 80's fter an accident in the toyota truck shown in Back to the Future he STILL played the guitar in 2017 like a boss evenmoving like he was 18 years old guy's idolic this is wholesomely the BEST thing I've seen in 2020 also also!!! the fuck is wrong with 31 people!'?
I want a time machine to go back to the 80s when music matter I miss this stuff. God Bless Rock and Roll. And Michael J Fox for what he gave us to remember
God Bless Michael J Fox, last time he played on stage with Joan, god bless you Joan and Mr Fox, She did this in a middle of a tour but she wanted to perform and play with John one more time god bless the both of you such beautiful souls !!
Why did this make me cry ? WHAT A PAIR what an amazing PAIR! I know Joannie personally and she would not say that if it wasn't true . Michael is ONE in a lifetime..
Michael J. Fox is my spirit animal and my light of day. My everyday life is still roughly the same for now, but my inner world had completely transformed thanks to him. A limitless man. It's insane to see him like this knowing he's so sick. If he can do this in his condition, who the fuck am I? Incredible.
Joan Jett has made it Abundantly clear how she feels about Michael J Fox. Light Of Day wasn't just a movie, it began a strong friendship that endures to this day. Jett adores MJF. The feeling is mutual.
Just watched "Light of Day" the movie this song came from & I gotta say Michael has got some chops on that Axe! & Of Course Joan is Always FANTABULOUS! PEACE OUT!
Thank you so much for posting this!! I loved this movie when I was a kid. I know it wasn't a huge hit but I thought it was amazing. Seeing it done again especially given MJF struggle with Parkinsons this made me tear up! Love Joan!
A truly outstanding performance. That's the way to "Rock~N~Roll"!!! Also an excellent job of videoing and uploading for us all to enjoy!!! Thank you so much Erin B.!!!
I still have a VHS player simply because I have Light of Day on tape. I'd love to be able to find it on DVD. I actually just watched Light of Day here on RU-vid about 2 weeks ago. It's one of my all time favorite films.
enjoyable! they truly know how to set quite a show! I'm here mostly for Joan but MJF is terrific too. love to see them so energic at this age, they're still super badass!
Wow, that was great! So cool of Joan to do this special gig for her buddy Michael. Sounded great. They played brother and sister in the movie ‘Light of Day,’ with Gena Rowlands as their Mom. Good movie! Lotsa rock and roll amidst the family drama. For someone who’s a singer/musician, Joan was great and very natural and believable in that movie.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band actually recorded a band version of this track during the "Born In The USA" sessions on May 25, 1983. I hope it gets released when the "Born In The USA" box set eventually gets released (you know a songwriter is good when the record label releases a box set based on a single album - it's happened already with "Born To Run," "Darkness" and "The River."). It has obviously turned into one his best live songs. It was played throughout most of the 1999/2000 reunion tour.
Come to think of it Michael deserves sooo much more than Hollywood has ever given him!! He is talented way above the rest, and without their shitty attitude attached.,..just saying people. the truth hurts, so wear it.
Saw Joan perform earlier this week on Long Island; and Light of Day was on her setlist. I've gotta admit I never even heard of the movie nor the song. It's a shame that the movie isn't available anywhere on streaming channels like Amazon Prime or Netflix.
Written by Bruce Springsteen. Joan Jett can still sing this! 😃 Michael Fox was born in Edmonton. But he moved to Burnaby, BC. In the 1970s and 1980s, I had my chances to meet him in nearby Vancouver but did not. 😥 Other people , Vancouver residents,, I know, did meet him! 😃🇨🇦
