Beth & Joe - I'd Rather Go Blind - Live in Amsterdam

This video was taken from “Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Live In Amsterdam” DVD and is owned by record label J&R Adventures, LLC, the operator of this channel.
The song “I'd Rather Be Blind” was originally written by Tina Turner Publisher: EMI Blackwood Music Inc. (BMI), EMI Unart Catalog Inc (BMI).
Hot on the heels of their GRAMMY nomination, force-of-nature blues-rock vocalist Beth Hart and guitar hero Joe Bonamassa will deliver Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa -- Live In Amsterdam (DVD/Blu-ray/CD) which is in stores since March 25, 2014. -- the very first live experience from one of music's most powerful female voices and one of the world's greatest guitar players. Against the backdrop of the beautiful, historic Koninklijk Theater Carré in Amsterdam, the performance wows with scorching soul covers from the duo's 2011 debut album Don't Explain and 2013 follow-up Seesaw, originally made famous by artists such as Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Billie Holiday, Tom Waits, Ray Charles, Donnie Hathaway, Lucinda Williams, Bill Withers, Delaney & Bonnie, Buddy Miles, Tina Turner, Slackwax, Melody Gardot, Nina Simone, and more.

[@dlopez7700]

One of the best performances I've ever heard in my life, no doubt about it.

[@cliffordlowerre1381]

WOW! What a performance! Hart singing from the heart. Joe playing from the heart. So much emotion and feeling and soul. That's the BLUES for ya!

[@stevecritcheson4067]

[@theowlknows]

I feel so fortunate to have seen Jimi Hendrix, Janis and so many other greats performing live. I'm crying just the same watching and listening to this incredible Ms. Hart with Joe performing one of the BEST f-ing songs EVER. She, Etta and Janis will always bring my tears, and I love them all for it. Great music is great music; I love them all, and miss terribly the ones that are no longer with us. To say one is better than the other is just crap. If it grabs your gut, your heart and your soul, it's great and that is all there is to it.

[@maxkite4170]

I can't watch this song without weeping. Janis has come down fron Heaven to be with Beth during this song. What emotion! What heart! (excuse the pun). There's only one word for it. Perfection. Both suffered terribly from drug addiction. Thank God, Beth survived. We love you, Beth. Also, thank you to Tina for the sublime lyrics.

[@timcornelius1912]

I've never heard it better said. Thank you.

[@Oh_I_Will]

You saw Jimi and Janis...Congratulations!?!

Exactly !!

[@Summertimeblues50]

Blues and Rockmusic have been with me since I was 13... that was in 1963, when I got my first Kinks vinyl album "You really got me". Many bands and individual artists joined me over the years. During my studies, my enthusiasm for the forefathers of the blues began in a wide range. Then the younger blues musicians like Beth Heart and Joe Bonamasse gave them a huge boost. This live performance of the two of them with "I'd rather go blind" surpasses many things, because the commitment of both of them and the band is hard to beat. Beth Heart touches me very emotionally with her sensitive voice! Thank you Beth&Joe... calls out a 75-year-old fan! 😇🌿🌺🎸🎹🎺🥁🎷

[@dalejones2574]

She is amazing! Her voice has no limits. What an awesome performance!

[@TheKevgray1]

I'll keep commenting because something this wonderful moves me to do it. When I'm low, this lifts me with the sheer energy and musicianship of Beth, Joe and the band. You'll see more because I'll watch it again, and again.

[@gisliarnarson4900]

The voice and the passion Beth puts in this song is Amazing!!! and lets not forget Joes guitar solo.....Wow!!! Thank you guys.

[@Mattvideoandshorts12]

On of the best version ever heard . It’s sad and swampier,yet bring back best memories to us older lady .😢❤ such an emotional sound in Joe s music . Personal in love with it .

[@gixerloon]

Watched this a few times now, Beth and Joe are just so good together, the combination of Joes clean playing style Guitar riffs and Beths incredible vocals, just sublime...

[@ParadiseLiving23]

every time I listen/see this... I get goosebumps!!!! Amazing

[@n.d.eskenazi4993]

Joe and Beth ❤ what a combination for a perfect performance of love and blues

[@seanmartens8740]

I've watched this more than a few times. I'm addicted. I need to get the album.

[@mondeoman1954]

Beth doesn't perform a song, she LIVES it! I could listen to this forever

Beth and Joe - what an amazing cover of a blues classic! Soul, raw emotion and heart wrapped into an amazing performance. This one stops me cold every time!

[@birgitscheib]

This is EXTRATERRERISTRIAL, a masterpiece of all i've heard in my last 60 years, thank you Beth and Joe! ❤

[@Richard-xx5eo]

La meilleure prestation musicale que j'ai pu voir. Le solo de guitare est tout simplement phénoménale !!!!

[@nyctea52]

Jesus what a band , what performers even through a screen i can't hold back my tears . Thank you.

[@DougFarrell-bv7lm]

Every so often someone comes along with all of the tools! Beth Hart is one of those people. Beth has the stage presence and the voice that will lull you into a MUSICAL COMA...As did Janis Joplin, Elvis, and The Beatles, and when Joe Bonamassa plays that telecaster the entire song becomes Magical...

[@roostj]

There is another one with all the tools, her name: Floor Jansen

[@Astr-w6y]

Seen and met some of the best in the business back in the day being almost 70 and been a musician for most of my life and this is among the best performance I've seen with one exception which was seeing Albert Collins in a small club which brought me to tears, I was speechless after his performance and seriously couldn't play for days after that experience, he was the real deal, can hardly describe it you had to be there !

[@pauladamson8577]

Jesus Christ Joe's guitar melted my face and Beth's performance melted my heart. This is how music should be 🙄😃

That's feeling the music!

Jesus Christ is not an adjective to use in a sentence He offers you the choice to be your personal Saviour.

[@kevinandrews6189]

A minimum of 20 well know artists have sang this but none will come close to Beth's version. It's like listen to someone trying to cover SRV. Close, but something is missing.

[@robertdrake7604]

Damn this has to be the best Combo of guitar and vocals I have ever heard. I am 67 and have seen Janis Joplin in concert. Beth has to be as close to Janis as I have ever heard!! And Bonnamasso needs to no comparison. He is a master!!!

[@dpete38]

I agree, I am 68 and they both (Joplin) have that soul and charisma that makes excellent artists. I am in love with Beth. And with Joe in the mix it is damned awesome!

[@gowdsake7103]

Honestly I think Beth is better a LOT better

[@jschuler53]

Robert Drake, Also 67 and this blew me away. One of my favorite songs I listen to every day but it's Etta James. Didn't discover this until today. WOW. Not to mention that she'd rather go blind than to see him walk away.

[@philipnunn4119]

she's good but she aint even close to janis

[@allanbriggs9007]

@@philipnunn4119 You're kidding, surely. I'm a great Janis fan but, in the singing dept Beth leaves her for dead - much better voice, but with the same intensity.

[@candiland1007]

I love everything about this. The emotion can bring you to your knees. She makes you believe every word she sings. I love how the guitar solo makes you feel the same emotions as her singing does. It gives me chills and just hits my soul. This is what a true live performance is and should always be! Thank you so much for this.

Is there anywhere, ever a better live performance than this. Talk about music coming from the soul, everyone is on the nail behind Brilliant Beth and Joe.

I won't say this is better (it's a lot different), but it's right up there as far as fantastic live performances go: Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark 2006 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaWZm6x7e8poja8

[@johndavis3504]

Fabulous feel girl…… I don’t think Joe is killing this the way it could be to support Beth’s incredible feel. It should bite us bringing the song back into Beth! 68 years pro musician

[@michaelvittoria6926]

Just saw her live in NYC tonight!!!!! She is real, raw, humble, and ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL in person. Even saw her outside before the show as she was heading into her tour bus, and she was gracious and friendly to all of us who were waiting to enter the venue. In addition to being one of the very best vocalists I have ever seen live, Ms. Hart seems like a truly genuine and beautiful human being. God bless her. 🙏

[@23theseeker50]

A TRUE MASTERPIECE BY BETH AND JOE GOD BLESS THEM HAVE REACHED MY VERY SOUL AND HEART WITH THIS PERFORMANCE GOD BLESS YOU BOTH LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE SO MUCH.

[@trustyred66]

I thought only Etta's rendition could make me cry.. I was wrong, Beth made it hers in every way, tears are rolling . She is truly one of the best we have. Joe, what hasn't been said already...wish i could have been there...fucking amazing!

[@thomasdickson3999]

Two exceptional soloist, one with a guitar and one with vocal chords. Added to that is a top notch band. This'll be one of my Desert Island Disks without a doubt.

[@nyobunknown6983]

I came hear to hear Bonamassa and ended up with a new singer to love. Incredible voice and ability to project emotion.

[@cindigirouard9620]

Wow! Where have you been my whole life! I don't know how I even stumbled across this video. I am 51 and just now hearing Beth for the 1st time. Wow....move me, touch my soul, touch my heart, bring me to my knees! You are incredible! The depth of your emotion and pain brought me to tears. This is one of my all time favorite songs.....you did it more than justice!

Hart and Bonamassa...the best of the blues today.

[@ringobgs]

She is amazing. Singing her heart out. One of the best and always will be.

[@barrydouglas6276]

Beth is a truly extraordinary singer (who really should be more widely known) but thanks HartAndBonamassa for crediting Joe as well - his solo was beautiful and they stayed together through some tough times. At about 6:19 Beth applauds Joe who in turn gives a nod of appreciation to the drummer at about 7:14. In turn I tip my hat to a very sensitive and accomplished band.

[@pastrychef7527]

The DVD of this concert is wonderful (alot is on YT) and within the extras Beth said she was surprised Joe was happy for her to headline the tour. True talent with humility alongside = this. Doesn't come better.

[@Chris-kr2rn]

What an amazing performance by an amazing band. No flaffing, absolutely spot on on every little thing. My favorite version of the song and definitely one of my favourite guitar solos.

[@nolahutton7658]

[@LordStanley94]

@Zane Flower Forget not having a Pulse...Not having a Soul

[@TheDirtBiter]

One thing I have always found with her singing is that she becomes the song, not just someone singing but totally immersed in it. As for Joe's guitar work on this, exceptional. Not burying the song but lifting it higher.

[@katherinecarlson4762]

This is utterly remarkable. Astonishing. Goosebumps in 2021.

Well, there's Janis Joplin... but I love them both!

[@paulcaramico6111]

No one LIVING. I take that back, Susan Tedeschi also sings the blues like this. But if you go back 60 years, Janis Joplin and Etta James ultimately have to share the throne and tiara between themselves. Absokutely no one can hold a candle to them except Willie Mae "Big Mamma" Thornton

[@jamestaylor5028]

It's not just the music that gets me on my knees...
