Concrete Blonde performed on KEYE TV's Austin Live on Oct. 27, 2011. The band played some of their newer songs for the show. But as a special favor for us, they performed their 1990 hit, Joey.

At this point she'd probably sung this song 1000 or so times yet the passion hasn't faded at all. It's right from her soul.

I will go to my grave never understanding WHY?!?!? Lady gaga, justin beaver, and Katy perry made it bigger than these SUPER talented people like concrete blonde! It pains me cause they deserve MUCH, MUCH, MORE RECOGNITION!! This song is so deep!! Everything about it, from the lyrics, to her voice, to the guitar, the drums and even without a bass in this video!! Simply AMAZING !!!

I saw Janet Napolitano interviewed and she stated that the record companies wanted to control their music and they didn't want to be controlled it wanted to be themselves and make the music they wanted to make. That makes perfect sense because they outclass 90% of everyone I've heard on the radio the last 35 years.

She sang this song with such deep sentiment, nostalgic soul and profound emotion...The best of the best!! Not quite sure why she is so underrated. She has acquired well deserved triumphs in her life -- because she has it all and has not lost her many, many talents!!! Such a strong soul/personality! Tremendously multi-talented!!! Artist, song writer, poet, musician, singer, humanitarian animal rescuer, etc., etc. She made me cry with this version of this song. She gave it all in this performance -- She looked like she was intensively hurting in enormous pain for her suffering love in this song...Chills...FABULOUS performance!!!

Johnette. I do too, unfortunately she fell into the pit of sex drugs and rock n roll that makes her live in the past of her glory days. But man she was one of the most beautiful sexiest woman around at that time my life, with a voice that echoed the depths of mans soul. Youth is a precious commodity, but when the wheel of life turns to gray you have to let go. Bless you Johnny, be happy for what you had and gave to others, the memories remain.

I didn't appreciate this song back in '90, but that's because I never heard it with enough fidelity to make out the words. I only looked it up now because I was reminded of "Concrete Blonde" because of a recent Starbucks light roast coffee called Blonde. Got curious My motivation for looking it up might have been silly, but this song certainly isn't. It's about a whole lot people's relationships. I'm very sorry to read that the performers here are under appreciated today. This was a great perf.
