Fiona Apple - MTV Spankin’ New Music Week Live (Live in New York, 1999) [Full Concert]

[@joshmorrow6672]

Underappreciated genius.

[@mvdeano]

well put

[@Thejoshuahess]

So fucking true

[@claudiakadow8463]

Such a beautiful legend🤟

[@mdpocoroba]

On a Frank Zappa level in the nuts and bolts of it.

[@milenariarr8329]

Totalmente de acuerdo con usted. 🍷

[@kkoosya]

Nobody writes about fighting controling and abusive men like her. Nobody just have so much pain within and such guts for talking about this pain. I feel her art on a personal level.

[@tomlinjlt]

I think she just loves like most people don't no how to now a days

[@tomlinjlt]

I love big

[@kkoosya]

@@tomlinjlt exactly

[@tomlinjlt]

@@kkoosya I love her volubility

[@tomlinjlt]

I meant vulnerability

[@CipherSerpico]

In my opinion, other than Radiohead, she is the greatest artist of the modern era. She is an absolutely brilliant lyricist, an amazing vocalist and an amazing songwriter. She is Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, and Jeff Buckley-all rolled into one.

[@HelloHello-tm7uc]

Part of me wants to include Beck in there too but yes-- Fiona and Radiohead

[@mvdeano]

Absolutely....and more.

[@ShaleelGriffith]

I wanna include alanis morrisette in there

[@mimc1831]

She is Fiona.

[@carlosconesa]

I would add Erykah Badu and D'Angelo to that list.

[@jeffmargolis8006]

This is what a musical genius looks like.

[@yyg4632]

and sounds like

[@austinisasian]

hey Jeff!🙂

[@lteralflow4641]

The reason she stands out is because of how much emotion she puts into her voice and performance. Her energy is visceral. And the older she gets the more expressive her voice seems to become.

[@lteralflow4641]

And everything else of course

[@dionmcgee5610]

And she writes great songs. I'd put that fact first.

[@rgi9509]

That is the truth. I saw her live and the raw emotion was beyond anything else I've seen. Everyone was crying .

[@zootsoot2006]

She writes good music. Not pop nonsense like 99% of female musical artists.

[@jasonscott4366]

Omg yes her and radiohead all the way

[@jaimetorresfragoso4070]

When she did this concert she was 22 years old. Incredible talent!

[@YogsenForfoth]

Absolute genius. She’s easily the best female singer songwriter of the past 25 years.

[@thetxpenguin]

Absolute genius. She’s easily the best singer songwriter of the past 25 years.

[@YogsenForfoth]

@@titancartercus.8484 True! She is also amazing.

[@cuddly2003]

on par with alanis morisette for me

[@SquirtlePower809]

"I know" has to be the most beautiful song ever written.

Really, comment. How about just feel. As real as it gets

[@lorettatolnaybolton]

Same same!!!

[@MoonlightNightcall]

It takes my breath away how much pain and fire the first two songs have... it makes me feel more free, to just hear someone express themselves with such abandon... truly no one out there like Fiona

[@urmom-mq8lb]

you should try mitski

[@Miseryletusdown]

@@urmom-mq8lbTrust Fiona has a lot of emotion in her lyrics, Fiona’s more angry mitskis more sad

[@einin9758]

[@rahrah6049]

Very true. You hit it on the mark. 🌹

[@angelom.7892]

Yes. I find it very hard not to be hyperbolic when talking about this album. It's truly one those instances where the emotions put by the artist in the music fully hits me. It's kinda scary what this shit makes me feel ahaha

I remember buying When The Pawn on CD the day it came out in the autumn of 1999 while I was living in NYC, just graduated high school in the midwest a few months earlier and was living this amazing life now, walking around Chelsea and Soho listening to those songs, rain and orange/red leaves everywhere. I love Tidal but WTP has so much nostalgia for me., every song is amazing. Love Ridden destroys me. This performance perfectly captures the atmosphere of this era of Fiona. This album and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill are two of the greatest albums to ever exist.

[@vitaminC7657]

I love this!!!

[@breal6910]

this drummer is killin it

[@mvonwalter6927]

Matt Chamberlain is one of the greatest studio drummers ever.

[@dionmcgee5610]

He also plays with Tori Amos, apparently.

[@shemademegay]

@@dionmcgee5610 and soundgarden when Matt Cameron can't be found. Plus he was in pearl jam for a while after they released 'ten' he is the drummer on the 'alive' video/audio.

[@sabrinamichelena1920]

God, what a genius. I idolize her so much. Crazy she was just a couple years older than me when she released Tidal. How unfair that she had so much talent at such a young age but there are always geniuses in the world. Few like her, though, and thank God we have her. I think we would starve culturally if we didn’t have her.

[@hisroyalhighness8566]

My favorite Album Ever. Literally not one bad song. Fiona 💚💚💚💚❤❤❤❤

This is where I discovered Fiona. I recorded this on VHS and played it over and over! Thank you so much for uploading!!!!

[@doo9722]

I wish there was an Album of this live, she's killing it !!

Me too!

Matt Chamberlain master class. my god what a legend.

[@hw343434]

“I’ll know” is a Masterpiece

[@EricTerino]

It truly is.

[@MrCpark]

I can’t express the love and admiration I have for the entire musical arrangement and for her most importantly. I went to see her by myself as a 19 yo straight male. I am in love with her. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 8 years old and I am 32 yo now . The mix of her voice, the instrumentation and her lyrical phasing gives me chills ever time i hear it.

[@angel-wb3xg]

i love that you love fiona as a straight man. says a lot about her talent, as she can appeal to many demographics.

[@S.D.M022]

She’s very beautiful too…

[@danielahernandezvazquez3205]

i am in love with fiona too

[@holysoup2954]

this is one of my fav comments ever

[@hamwithcheese586]

This album came out just in time to get me through a long, drawn out break up with my first love. I keep listening to this day because of the genius.

[@bdeckerva]

Damn. Pain makes some amazing music. She tore my heart out and left it beating on the table.. And then she gave a hint of a smile at the end.. and I didn't even care.

[@BillHaines37]

This makes most other songs hide in the closet

[@crysdee461]

I love this woman so much. I’m so glad I found this live performance.

[@melaniesharp8224]

Best songer singwriter of our time!

[@michaelporter383]

She is such an awesome performer. The intensity at 10:32 is frightening!

[@megdecay]

"Tidal" is absolutely one of the greatest albums of all time. Her voice will ring for centuries, it's so incredibly iconic.

[@megdecay]

I'll add Beth Gibbons from Portishead to that list as well. Very underrated. If you haven't listened to them, I'd say start with "Dummy". 💕

[@WaitingForTheHook]

It is, but When The Pawn kicks Tidal's ass, to be honest.

[@douglasshaw3214]

Fiona Apple is an absolutely incredible artist, totally unique, unbelievably talented and a real joy to experience.

[@isaacasdreams]

I have never listened to Fiona Apple in my time but this is exactly the music I need right now.

[@cmanhatan4]

Fiona feels everything. We are lucky to witness it.

Matt Chamberlain on drums- Tori Amos' old drummer, too.

[@stolky19]

He's a legend - how bout that section on Limp!? (Not as good here - but amazing on the album!)

[@CourtTV.]

I thought that was matt.It ef sounded like him.

[@ArenMichael]

I remember watching this when it originally aired or was a re-run later in the day or whatever. besides the obvious love for Fiona ... the drummer, Matt Chamberlain, is probably my favorite drummer since Bonham. so crazy that he was playing with two piano singer/song writers back to back - Fiona then and on tour with Tori Amos just before.

[@phillybul30]

I’m gonna draw a portrait of Fiona as soon as I can. I have to show my appreciation. Love her music and talent. I fell for a woman I will never meet or see in person based on her talent. Smh

[@Drumvicious_]

The way she performs and feels it reminds me of Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam).

God I wish there were HD remasters available of these sorts of things.

@@JJ-mj5cj i feel the same, but i’ve never understood the comparisons between her other albums. i feel like all of her albums are so strikingly different.

[@onecoolpenguin]

@@scoobooyt the comparisons happen with every artist. Tidal was transcendent. Something will happen to bring Fiona back to prominence, whether that's her returning to music, someone putting her music in a movie, or her eventual demise. When this happens, Tidal is what will be talked about. When the pawn is for us fans, Tidal was for everyone.
