St. Vincent - Pay Your Way In Pain (Live On SNL) 

Same, I prefer this live!

100% agree

there’s no fucking doubt about it. This is way better.

100% this is the superior version

Janet I recommend you watch Lorde performing Green Light

@@GagaBoy1346 Thank you, I will! Lorde is another artist who really struck me as special when I first heard 'Royals' and I liked her other songs too - and she was 16 at the time!

@@GagaBoy1346 Just watched it, Alessandro, I love it! Thanks!

Justin Meldel-Johnson. Magnetic as always.

@@johnphillips617 oooo thank you! I will check him out

Yes love JMJ. He’s toured with Beck many times. Great performer! Really cool to see him playing with another of my favorite artists!

@@natalieward6887 thanks!!! I saw him familiar and them remember Beck had a bassist with that same haircut. His bassline on Sexx Laws is amazing

JMJ is an accomplished producer as well. Produced Wolf Alice's 2017 Mercury Prize winning album

I love her, but IMO that would be Kevin Barnes from of Montreal.

@@feveraeroelder I hit "view more" to see the other comments before commenting the exact same thing and you beat me to the punch.

That’s it! That’s why I’m so drawn to this character she’s playing...

This is somewhere halfway between Young Americans and Scary Monsters, love it.

THAT’S why I liked this performance so much. I was introduced to her through this performance and I couldn’t figure out why I liked it so much and I’m a big Bowie fan. I can’t believe I didn’t catch the similarities🤦🏾‍♂️

So true!!! A 70s rockstar. Another up and coming young artist with the same vibe is Aziya. Look her up on IG.

Late to comment, but yes. Go check out David Bowie perform Young Americans on the Dick Cavett show, 1974. You won't be disappointed. 🕺

JMJ is awesome

@@andrewhyde3779 JBJ

Bob Ross

right? the vocal power, and then using the mic as a slide - hell yeah

The backup singers are impeccable, loved them!

@something distinctly nonhuman Only one was on tour...

She totally owns it in this performance. It's so fun to watch.

Actually she joined in 2002 I believe

Name her first band...

😂😂 Edit: Wait wtf that's a song? Lmfaooo

@@a.x.x8184 Her album name & a song name

@@a.x.x8184 it’s her album title LMAO

Mummy?

I thought exactly the same thing, really makes me think of his appearance.

Wow, good - or bad, terrible, I wasn't the only person who picked up on or thought about Bowie.

@@rouggawahwah is bowies drummer mark guiliana

It might be blasphemy to say this, but I'm starting to think St. Vincent is my favorite over Bowie now!

@@michaeltonikov not really.

Oh me too.

Yeeeesss

It's Gucci.

One of the best musicians 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The song was good but her guitar playing has always sucked . Fortunately she decided not to play . A musician plays a musical instrument. It's hard to believe she even went to Berklee School Of Music for a semester let alone two or three years depending on what interview you are listening to.

@@larryscheller2476 Gary, you're wrong bro.

@@larryscheller2476 damn who hurted you XD

Same! This whole performance had an energy that I can't describe but I really needed

They are amazing but do you think it's justified to bully/hate /diminish Annie Clark while appreciating the background vocalists? All I see is Annie Clark getting hate over everything she does. Annie Clark is the composer and writer of the song and has toured and worked hard for twenty years.

@@eikuulusulle766 where exactly did they hate on annie in that comment? relax

@@johnny-vu6rl I didn't say this comment exactly but was asking because the now deleted clips had hundreds and hundreds of comments hating on Clark and pretty much all the comments started like this...

@@eikuulusulle766 That would be SNL's general audience. All love on Annie's channel!

that's Mark Guiliana, probably the best "modern" drummer on Earth ;)

Its pretty standard.

@@apolloptx Man! It's such a good rendition of this amazing track! The recorded version versus this live performance sound almost complementary, both have great and different qualities. I just know I keep coming back to hear her vocals, the background vocals and the musicians again

@@apolloptx I also love how it is theatrical

@@arnoldmachado3289 I know what you mean, and I didn't intend to sound disparaging. It is a good performance. I say it is standard in the greater context of all live performances. After seeing bands like Led Zeppelin doing crazy improvised renditions of their songs, that are so adventurous and energetic that they basically become a new song, I couldn't consider a performance like this to be great or perfection. A lot of it is down to sound mixing, and a lot of it is it feels too much like a replica of the album version. Seeing Zeppelin play live is like seeing a whole band doing a tightrope circus act, and you are constantly worried they will push too far and fall on their face. They swing the rope, fall, you gasp, and then they do a triple backflip and land on their feet. That to me is the pinnacle of live performing. I always felt Annie is at her best when playing small shows or even studio shows with no audience.

They made a great album together if you haven't heard it. There's some good live performances on RU-vid.

I just watched another vid from the new album, and I was thinking the same thing. Imagine a collaboration between her and Beck? I think it would be a standout.

im freaking out to this! didnt he play drums for NIN at one point?

he looks familiar. the dude that played with Beck, right?

You "love him so much" you don't know his name?

wait i can still watch them

It is not deleted.

@@juzoli I don't think they were implying it was deleted. OP was saying that it has been known to happen, so this is a good way to prevent that.

@@juzoli I meant they will eventually be deleted or blocked globally except the US. They usually last for three months.

@@RosaliaFacts I don’t know about that. In the US, I see a few sketches being deleted randomly, and put back a bit later. But the majority is accessible permanently. Access from abroad is a different legal issue.

I thought this was a SNL skit😂😂😂

SO good! This is what brought him to my attention.
