aimee mann - live (jools holland) - i should've known

[@ianmcilwraith4389]

I remember buying the cassette tape after watching this! Still have it 25+ years later. Genius.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Oh I bought this cassette too and I wore it out playing at the car! Lol

[@dr3dg352]

I got this cassette for a quarter, and really wish I still had it! I listened to it in its entirety the night I met my wife.

[@whisky110]

I remember seeing this go out at the time (1993 ?) and thought it was amazing. Have been a big fan of Aimee ever since, even though I never heard of Til Tuesday and first heard her singing backing vox on a Rush record 5 or 6 years before this. Seem to recall the 'backing band' here consisting of a couple of members of Squeeze and Stephen 'Tin Tin' Duffy on one of the guitars, think it was all chucked together quite quickly for the show. Ah...memories... I was about 22 at the time...

[@thestones8022]

the entire cd is GREAT!!

[@tonebenderx]

Love Aimee. Great song, and the band nails it - especially those harmonies on the chorus. Awesome.

[@georgegeysen6499]

Holy shit ... Jool’s band with Gilson Lavis? Fucking sublime ... Aimee is incomparable on this gem ... so sweet and tight!

[@davewalker1492]

She supported world party on the bang tour , fantastic night loved both of them

[@paulelliott3220]

This is one of her best songs; obviously a bit of a made up band and some curious playing but Aimee is having fun and nails it. Good document of a different time - think i'll put the album on now : )

[@heathhadsell]

the left half are former members of Squeeze. can't recognise either guitarist tho

[@DavidNewlandz]

Top 100 song I adore this song, play it again!!!!

[@RichardHunter-m4u]

funny, I remember watching this at the time and it was the first I'd heard of Aimee Mann. I really liked it and I bought this record when It eventually turned up in my local record shop - but looking back, this really is a bit of a shambolic performance lol

[@steve.weidman5417]

Aimee once collected my money at Newbury Comics on Newbury St in Boston when I purchased a few vinyl records. My sis said, is that a "rock star" behind the counter? Pre-Til Tuesday. xxoo

[@MrMagusperde]

Amazing talent....

[@nealchi]

And the splendid Gilson Lavis on drums!

[@alsner73]

Stephen Duffy is the other guitarist (far right). Great song found for the first time tonight. As a guitarist the answer is YES, if you watch at the beginning they are not playing the same thing at all and same applies throughout most of the song.

[@LanceisLawson]

Aimee is the best.

[@markschimmoller3402]

The bass player is killing! Awesome band...

[@Mackermanesq]

I think it's Keith Wilkinson, who was in the late 80's and early 90's era Squeeze lineups

[@colingeddes2172]

An absolutely brilliant live version of a real toe tapping stomper. Must admit, im not that familiar with aimee manns music though.

[@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888]

Yes. It's Keith. ​@@Mackermanesq

[@Salescaster]

Great song, great pairing of music and lyrics. That's Keith Wilkerson on bass, Gilson Lavis on drums and not Jool's but his brother on keyboard - all members of Squeeze at some point... .

[@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888]

*Wilkinson

[@whisky110]

@SircosmoBonsor... Yeah that was Stephen Duffy on the Strat, Jools Holland mentioned his name in the intro. If I can ever find my VHS cassette of this show I'll post a fuller version. Think I rushed out and bought a copy of 'Whatever' the day after this aired.

[@JoeDeMaio917]

brilliant !!

[@oker59]

Nice guitarist . . . and of course good song from Aimee as usual!

[@lofisounds]

Wahoooooo! Rock on girl.

[@harryhole3704]

Do know What, I've been going to live concerts since the early 70's (1st concert was Humble Pie), and since then been to 1000's of live gigs yet, seeing Aimee Mann in a small venue in central London in the 90's is one my all time top 20 concerts.

[@georgeb6079]

At maxes on Broadway in Baltimore we were being crushed at edge of stage watching til Tuesday it was packed best ever

[@voxsupreme]

My absolute favourite Aimee Mann song, and maybe her only "rocker"? A little slow ... but still, this song made me aware of AM existence. It played in the background as the credits of some old High School film rolled by and made me searching half crazy for its titel and artist. Found it eventually - phew! The guitarist repeats his beautiful solo note for note live - boring to some, amazingly impressive to me.

[@fabrasham]

great songwriting !

[@iagobroxado]

@SirCosmoBonsor That guys is actually Clayton Scoble (now in the band Francine). Just google him. Stephen Duffy is the bass player here.

[@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888]

Duffy wasn't on bass, he was on Tele. He told me himself. But you're right about Clayton.

[@marcuschung2]

That guitarist plays that wah in a certain much , you can hear it in the live versions of " that's just what you are."

[@templetonrocks]

i'm so glad that the '90s are over. note the long jean shorts rolled up. bleck. not her best work, but i sure do love her voice. kind of an awkward dancer too.

[@lordmjh]

Todd Rundgren and David Bowie have also done this.I'd like to see her do a new album that features hard rock style like this tune.Maybe do a cover of an obscure tune unrelated to the album but one she loves personally

[@armandbourgoignie]

DID Todd an Bowie do this song???

[@PrisonerTom]

The acoustic version (vinyl ep) is awesome

[@iagobroxado]

@SirCosmoBonsor hehe, true, to be honest, I've never heard about Squeeze til' yesterday night. The previous comment probably influenced me, but he does look a hell lot like Stephen after he gone bald. :) cheers!

[@alsner73]

Stephen Duffy is in the blue shirt playing the Telecaster

[@bryans42]

this is a great song. look at the musicians, can you tell me which bands they are from, cmon fellow musicians, impress me! "the tickets"

[@trinitygekko]

this song is awesome.. why not have three guitars? they are all playing different things ! its a hell of a mesh.. and pretty nice live =)

[@lastschicker]

Stephen has a tele

[@alzyerpal-TV]

Yes, Tele not Strat. My bad as they say !

[@cbgreely]

Best thing about this song is that they sing "dot, dot, dot" "I should have known ..."

[@losttango]

@oceanborn1962: No, Stephen Duffy is the other guy with a strat, on the far right.

[@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888]

Incorrect.

[@solwolfpunk]

I'm so accostumed to seeing Aimee play bass. It's weird to see her play guitar

[@MYxLOVExOFxBEER]

She looks so good here; long time musical interest has now turned sexual.

[@scwagcom]

Spiffing bit of work!

[@xtrict]

And Buddy Holly on guitar !

[@Salescaster]

My error, of course that Jools...

[@tzsilznarf]

This song makes me hate my ex-wife even more.

[@billhughes869]

There's something wrong with that woman.

[@MrMagusperde]

Yes. She's very very GOOD!!!

[@KellyZullo]

This song is awesome. But this band kind of sucks.. they're all in different time.

[@Glennfaw]

Great song let down by a mediocre performance by the band.

[@jamesrockford2626]

couldn't she find a better band? they sound like amateurs

[@fdfsdfsvsfgsg4888]

You're an idiot babe. It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.
