This is 2014 Beth. Go back ten years to Paradiso and watch wild Beth. Am I the One. Arguably one of the best live performances ever.

[@vikhaedan]

I really second that.. it's the best live performance iv'e ever seen...

[@Flum666]

AM I the One is just sexual intercourse live

[@theGoogol]

@@vikhaedan : I'll third that. Probably the best live performance ever. And I've seen 250 of 'm (including Prince, MJ, Tina, Bryan, you name it) as security. But Beth @ Paradiso? I've never seen that or anything close.

[@robertkern9911]

I saw Beth 3 years ago and Am I the one was the final encore and it was just as we saw here includiing getting down in the crowd I was a union stagehand for 40 years and have worked or seen 100s of concerts but Am I the 1 tops my list followed by Comfortaby numb

[@leet9181]

Like her Lie at the Royal Albert Hall after her recovery from several issues. The song "Leave The Light On (Live At The Royal Albert Hall)", where she talks about it before and the song is about her rebound. Still great as always Beth Hart, kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4XNaZ6Og6anq6c

[@jayholland2632]

You owe it yourself to the treat of checking out their performance of 'I'll Take Care of You'. They both absolutely slay it.

[@ronhall5395]

One of the best blues duos ever in my opinion. I just love Beth's vocals. Joe is just incredible also.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

What was so fun about the brass section was that during times when they weren’t playing brass they played percussion instruments. And they just looked like they were having the time of their lives.

[@robertkern9911]

Beth and Joe are both forces of nature and seem to have a simbionic relationship both true masters of their craft

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

I just watched this entire concert tonight on DVD. So great. Joe plays at least 4 or 5 different guitars during the show. This Telecaster. And a Strat. A traditional Les Paul and couple of other Gibsons.

[@clotilderomeo]

Thank you for the video that I continue to follow every day , without getting tired.I have seen many interpretations of this piece and I think Beth's is the most beautiful ever ,besides the fabulous group, for voice, interpretation. There is so much fear, sweetness and then bursts out the anger the pain...Great Beth Hart..I am crazy about her! unsurpassed!!!! Whit love fom Roma Italy.

[@robertm3336]

Joe and Beth together are amazing. Every song from that show is unbelievable. Give a listen to Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa doing "Stone Cold". I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

[@garylorentzen228]

This was a whole concert with the two of them...I have the album from it. It's one of my favorites of all time.

[@brucecronin6396]

Great reaction and narrative. I love the way you noticed Joe's technique, on what in my opinion is one of the Top Ten Solos of all time. The guitar is a '51 "NoCaster". named "The Bludgeon". BTW this song was a second Encore of a 15 song set !!

[@nancymartineau-bauman8770]

Beth and Joe are amazing on their own with their bands, and together they are magical. This is one of the best Etta James covers every done. They did a couple albums together, this album/concert is amazing. Check out "Somethings Got a Hold on Me", "Nutbush City Limits", "Cant' Let Go", "Close to My Fire" just a few to start with. One to get to the roots of Beth Hart is "Am I the One" live at Paradiso 2004, more at Paradiso "Mama", "Whole Lotta Love", "Leave the Light On", '"Immortal", "Broken & Ugly", "Monkey Back". Beth Hart "Caught out in the Rain' live at Royal Albert Hall, and "Take it Easy on Me". Those will get you started. She is still touring. Joe is equally amazing. Great reaction, I hope you do more.

[@moniqueleroux2198]

The best!

[@moniqueleroux2198]

I enjoyed your reaction for your insight into the instrumentation as well as the vocal performance, which is often overlooked. Beth is also known for her incredibly rapid vibrato. She's got a great ad-lib towards the end of the guitar solo, over the horns. New subscriber. You definitely need to dig deeper into both of these artists. They are contemporary Blues Legends!

[@ben-schulman]

Hey, really appreciate your detailed analysis and insights into her vocal choices and techniques...Many reactors are impressed and tell us "what a good singer" she is. No shit Sherlock, gravity pulls objects downward--tell us something worthwhile. Strangely, it seems that having actual singing experience and a musical background allows one to go beyond, "wow, that was good." Your comments were insightful and spot-on. Thanks. This is a marque performance, but for Beth Hart, believe it or not, it is fairly routine. Her discography is extremely deep and diverse (10 studio albums, 3 cover albums with Joe Bonamassa, and 5 live albums) and she writes phenomenal lyrics and music (always writes the music first) and masters Rock, Blues, Jazz, etc. BACKSTORY for this concert: This was the encore finale at the last show at the Royal Theater Carré in Amsterdam in June 2013. It was part of a mini 4 city/5 show tour in Northern Europe (Norway, England, Belgium, Netherlands) in support of the "Seesaw" album-the second album collaboration between Beth and Joe of blues and soul cover songs. The band was Joe's and they had only 3 days of rehearsal (& only one day with everybody there) before starting the tour. The whole concert is like this-a master class in live performance…. You should do more of them together and each artist separately. Beth’s epic performance of “Am I The One” from the Paradiso in Amsterdam in 2004 is legendary (kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4PSYmxnl8yjbc0 ) Here’s a 20-song suggestion list just for BETH (only tip of the iceberg…told you her discography was deep): SINGER-SONGWRITER BETH (Original songs from the 2018 Royal Albert Hall concert in London): 1) “Caught Out in The Rain” (about an unhealthy relationship with a dangerous man): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqvHe5ltfdanqs0 Sometimes this gets blocked….but if worried, there are many other superb performances.

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Great choices of songs. Live version is best (Royal Albert Hall and Paradiso.)

[@lori9791]

Ben, thanks so much for this incredible list of Beth's performances.

[@zeuso.1947]

What a pleasure.

[@lindy1642]

Joe was a prodigy early on and Beth is a national treasure

[@paulfredericksen6565]

Well done! I really enjoyed your comments, they were very perceptive, right on. A lot of seemingly serious guitar players dismiss Joe, and I wonder if it's because he doesn't play most of his solos for the guitar players in the audience. As you said, he's playing for a different audience. And holy smokes, Beth can sing!

[@moniqueleroux2198]

Guitarists love Joe too! Seasoned or live sound musicians appreciate his greatness.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Original version" I'd Rather Go Blind?" Etta Jsmes 1968 🔥 You need to hear the original !!!

[@kima.4268]

AM I THE ONE!!! Live at the Paradiso. Amazing, spine tingling, sexy, all out performance!

[@hlawrencepowell]

Very intelligent reaction.

[@Beldvlmnt]

I appreciate you

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Joe and Beth have recorded 2 studio albums together. Seesaw in 2013. This tour to promote that album. From the tour they released Live in Amsterdam in 2014. And in 2018 they released Black Coffee.

[@ben-schulman]

3...you forgot the 1st one--"Don't Explain" (2011).

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Anton Fig on drums. Played in Paul Schaffer’s band on Letterman’s late night

[@moniqueleroux2198]

The whole band is a Masterclass!

[@localnetsolutions]

Really nice interpretation of the song, I'm a real fan of the original I love that Etta James jazz rasp but this has so much blues to it to make it great.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Carmine Rojas on bass. Legendary. Has played with too many people to name

[@andrewtims9524]

With Anton Fig on drums , what an engine room , you know it's going to be bad ass with those two

[@jerideaube9859]

Great Review!!!!

[@slm50350]

Really great analysis and reaction. Been a fan of Beth and Joe for years. The recommendation below of "I'll take care of you" is a good one. Great guitar solo. You understand singing, guitar and production so I would recommend taking a look at Nightwish with Floor Jansen "Ghost Love Score" That band is tight and Floor will blow you away with her vocal ability. I mean really! Take care.

[@randyhochstein8455]

I believe you would be remiss if you did not explore both Beth and Joe separately doing their original works. Both have live videos from each of their shows at The Royal Albert Hall. There’s just so much to choose from. ✌🏼😎

[@markwaldman5389]

An odd suggestion -- Tom Waits "Chocolate Jesus" the version on Letterman where he sings through a megaphone. You won't regret it! Also, Beth's live version of "Caught Out in the Rain." It's unforgettable.

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

From what I understand Eric Clapton helped somehow with getting venues...Inc the Royal Albert. ....and I think Joe was still a teenager when opening for BB King .

[@user-er6fs3pw7q]

Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa stone cold, Stevie Ray Vaughan Texas flood live at the el mocambo watched him play for three hours without stopping just unbelievable 😮😅😊

[@reneeorr834]

Need to react to Chris Stapleton live performances. He has sung with Jennifer Hudson, H. E. R., Justin Timberlake, and several more. I think you will be pleasantly surprised that although he’s considered a country artist, he’s far from your typical country artist.

[@missy652]

Etta James belted this back in the 60's. Beyonce sang it in the movie Cadillac Records.

[@moniqueleroux2198]

And Beth perfected it!

[@missy652]

@@moniqueleroux2198 How do you 'perfect' another's experience as what this song is about? She simply did her version.

[@selinayates4826]

Check out I’ll take care of you! Beth and Joe

[@BomBoo-rn8gj]

Thank you Billy Foster & Etta James for the original and Joe and Beth for the greatest interpretation ever. 9:21...you would be hard-pressed to find a better vocal-to-guitar solo transfer than this.

[@davidscroggins7728]

You're a musician and you broke the Golden Rule my brother LOL never ever stop a video during a guitar solo. Until next time stay well I'm popping for fresh
