fiona apple - limp, live on letterman (2000)

[@maehvillanueva]

i think her songs are those type which cannot be "covered" by other artists, no matter how talented they are. the songs are just screaming FIONA and pure artistry. you can't just "copy" that. :)

[@ClaudioLaureano936]

Macy Gray tried Sleep To Dream for her album of covers, but gave up cause she couldn't reproduce the feeling

[@kenjirodriguez1642]

huh? its pretty simple to sing

[@anam1097]

@@kenjirodriguez1642 it’s not about the singing quality, but the feeling she sings with. her songs are so personal no covers can reach the greatness as her own version of it

[@pedroadonish]

You're absolutely right. I have that same thought every now and then. Fiona has GREAT songs and that makes me want to cover them; however, once I start to think about how it could be done, I realize it's nearly impossible.

[@Musician12345]

She is a genuine music filled beautiful spirit

[@cgdrum]

The drummer in this video is Matt Chamberlein. He played on most of her studio albums. He is also the drummer for Tori Amos (check out her song -Cornflake Girl with Matt playing live) and played on the Pearl Jam "Ten" album and the Wallfflowers studio albums. He first gained notoriety by playing with Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians and played for a year as the house drummer on SNL.

[@jamesweldon9726]

cgdrum - Actually, Dave Krusen played drums on Ten. Matt Chamberlain was Pearl Jam’s touring drummer until he was offered the SNL gig, then Dave Abruzzese joined the band.

[@TheBrettWilson]

The guitarist is Michael Lockwood who has played for many artists including his wife of 10 years, Lisa Marie Presley (RIP).

[@mark3ve]

I love how Matt Chamberlain is totally tearing it up in the bridge/drum break, and yet the camera man is focused on Fiona's best Cousin It impression. Love Fiona, but give that drummer some RESPECT! He's killer!

[@carlos66965]

jazzy headbanging. awesome.

[@KiddiAgnars]

I will forever hate the producers for not showing Matt during the drumsolo.

[@carred4788]

I know... why why why???

[@mastamove]

Exactly.

[@shaniquatequila699]

That's how I dance when I'm alone in my room

[@Emma-zb8vx]

She gives me chills.

[@moon1819]

i love how she is acting on the stage, she is really feeling it

[@adagiobreeze8493]

It boggles my mind how this and Paper Bag weren’t huge video/radio hits

[@garyonbroadway1919]

She is a very talented woman, but she detested and would not play the "Star Book Rules" game. She scared the HELL out of men; just listen to the sarcasm dripping in Letterman's voice. That S.O.B. He is not missed in my book. But Lady Apple? Very much so.

[@K_masters]

@@ellebee690 She was too outspoken and got a lot of shit from the press. This album is a stone cold masterpiece and it got panned by the critics in its day.

[@eamon2please]

​@@K_masters Huh? It got rave reviews upon release. I was there.

[@eamon2please]

​@@garyonbroadway1919 Letterman doesn't sound sarcastic to me.

[@rotciv1486]

@@eamon2please yeah to my knowledge she has never received a bad review by any critics ever lol. I'm a hardcore fan and even I can admit her latest album is probably the weakest (still great, just... you reaaaally need to sit down and listen to that one lol), and it still got rave reviews, I remember Lady Gaga was like "For the pandemic I'm listening to Fiona Apple, because she is awesome".

[@galvanicpictures]

Matt Chamberlain is freakin' amazing.

[@juliancisthebest]

Oh my god I'm so in love with everything about this woman! *love hearts* ahaha

[@jasonlawson8980]

An amazingly crafted, brilliant song, performed live so well here. Band is tight as hell, and of course FA is always perfect

[@MrTristandestry]

The drums.

[@skierrage]

Fiona's live performances are so much better than albums.

[@DiamondSoul]

Holy shit, she is just so damn beautiful. And so beautifully talented, there's no denying that.

[@cleanpalette]

Everything about this is SO BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE HER!!!

[@MegaWhiner]

Audio of Shadow Boxer is what first got me hooked on Fiona. This is one of the first videos I watched and got me hooked on the live performing Fiona. I'm kind of new to the internet and never saw a live performance until this.

[@HCaulfield115]

That dancing !!!😍😍😍

[@strazdas]

I love this. My favourite artist.

[@Laurendoesflips]

Fiona Apple is magic

[@kioworin]

i was -9 years old. God damn i love fiona apple

[@MegaWhiner]

I love her Jazz/Blues sound. I like Steel Dan because of that also. They aren't exactly the same I know. I like Fiona's personality to!

[@evitastories]

I remember someone commenting on her dancing by saying, "I didn't know Cousin It was epileptic." (Not saying I endorce those comments, okay? So don't flame me. Thanks.) I love Fiona. She's beautiful.

[@franciscomagnasco8955]

I don't like speaking, Fiona Apple - fantastic

[@silviovicente]

Great song !!!

[@garyonbroadway1919]

"You wanna wear the Badge Of Honor When You Say Your Mine." (My ex-Wife) "You fondle my trigger and then you blame my gun." (My ex-Husband) How in the Hell did she nail both of them in the same song? I miss her! She DID write and perform the opening theme song on Showtime's "The Affair." But still, not enough.

[@eamon2please]

It's "You want the badge of honor when you save my hide."

[@20383]

I like the mix between piano and guitar! :D

[@christoohunders5316]

Can someone reupload this snipet in a decent quality please ???

[@mastamove]

Awesome,

[@jamesweldon9726]

That was intense.

[@MegaWhiner]

Matt is very good and deserves respect. Remember Fiona was smart enough and knows music so well that she picked Matt to be her drummer. She now has Charley Draten (SP?) who is excellent also.

[@patotidal2906]

In love 🥰😍😍♥️♥️

[@QAZWSX545]

LOVE HER!

[@setibamrahk]

raw love it

[@bzearfoss]

i love the foot shuffle thing she's doing lol shes just awesome!

[@FlacoSentido]

[@ivory3908]

[@CIAdance1990]

oh wow. calm down everyone. she does her own thing...that's what's so cool about her. but yeah, I ♥ fiona apple. =]

[@carred4788]

feel the rush in my head

[@shanabourne8457]

is this the only video of matt chamberlain playing this with her live? i can't find any others :(

[@Cartman503]

[@thegreatinterpreter8382]

I was in the audience during this taping.

[@kioworin]

[@MegaWhiner]

@1991stacy She is and it was to be out this spring. Almost summer now. Bing Fiona Apple new CD or something like that.

[@surfininalaska]

I like the dancing......

[@Shalomp]

anyone has the video of her performing O' Sailor on Letterman??

[@pedrofernandes2799]

Oh yeah Matt Chamberlain!! That's why it sounds so good!

[@XeonX__ASMR__METAL-experiments]

metal without "metal music" :D what if play metal with "acoustic" instruments.

[@budahgirl9110]

i was 8 years old :D

[@1991stacy]

Does anyone know if she's working on a new album? I need more Fiona!

[@headfullofmusic422]

yes and it was released three weeks ago! Fetch the boltcutters thats what its called:)

[@evillaugher]

Oh god, she was on the same episode as Dubya? That is something.

[@djsleezyc]

@chilichocolate very well said.

[@budahgirl9110]

how old were u?

[@emaculate]

@mark3ve fuck yeah!!!!! matt is the man.

[@theempire00]

@epidemic1234567890 yeah man, but thats the thing with true/real artists, they only write when they really need to express their emotions

[@kidkique]

hair

[@onenotused9327]

I imaging th mark has past. Probably a painful brutal passing at that!

[@brittly14]

Im all for going natural but I always wished that she would do something with her hair. She's such a beautiful girl I just wish that she would hire a stylist or something to really make her pop. Her music is amazing though! There's no comparison.

[@ziggurini]

if you knew how to read you would see that i agree with you.
