Etta James - I'd Rather Go Blind (Live at Montreux 1975)
• Etta James - I'd Rathe...
Etta James made many appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival across her long and distinguished career from her first concert in 1975 through to her last in 2008.
This video focuses on the concert from 1975. It features many of her best loved tracks and songs that she is particularly associated with. Etta James was one of the most respected performers of her generation. In a career stretching over 60 years she was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame and the Blues Hall Of Fame, won 3 Grammys and received many more nominations and was named Female Blues Artist Of The Year on no less than 14 occasions.
hola! hope you guys enjoy this song. it is the G.O.A.T. OF MOTOWN MUSIC ETTA JAMES. i LOVE HOW POWERFUL HER VOICE IS. BUT LISTENING TO HER MUSIC TAKES ME BACK TO MY EARLY YEARS BECAUSE I WAS RAISED MOSTLY BY MY GRANDPARENTS SO THEY LISTENED TO "OLDER MUSIC." i DO HAVE A QUESTION THO, WHEN SHE BELTS OUT CERTAIN VERSES, AS PROFESSIONAL SINGERS, HOW HARD IS IT TO DO WHAT SHE DID? WHEN SHE IS JUST BELTING OUT W/O A MICROPHONE. WHEN YOU SEE THE WHOLE VIDEO YOU WILL KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. AS A NON SINGER I FIGURE IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFCULT. SO I WANNA KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE TO DO WHAT SHE DID IN THIS VIDEO. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR FEEDBACK AND TO YOUR GUY'S REACTION. i WISH YOU GUYS NOTHING BUT LOVE AND POSITIVE ENERGY

So impressive her control of her voice and the band and the crowd all at the same time. Enchanting.

[@22RosesGrow]

Man....48 years ago. She's one of those performers that sings with heart. Check out And I'm Telling You, also powerful.

[@arlaabrell8658]

Etta was in a league of her own, she was one of the VERY VERY best ever. It always makes me a little sad when so many people act as if "At Last" was her be all and end all song, it makes me think it must be the only song of hers they've heard her sing. Everything Etta ever did, she did well, and made it her own.

[@heinruh9788]

Etta was one of Janis Idols............i feel the Connection!

[@Star_R666]

Etta was in a league of her own. This is the only song that she wrote and sang. I was lucky to see her perform in the early 2000's and she absolutely interacted with the audience. In fact, when she did this song she found a young handsome man near the front and flirted with him the entire song. It was amazing.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Her stage presence is insane 🔥

[@emilyalice1]

Etta's voice digs beyond my heart..right to my dna...it's soul driven...

[@dusty4835]

Her most recognized song is "At Last", a true classic. Also, "Something's Got A Hold On Me''.

[@bubbasmith6505]

Her performance of this song with Dr. John is something to see. You can tell those two loved each other.

[@sweetsjones2138]

She puts her entire SPIRIT into this song. TRUE GREATNESS

[@jeffreydooley3745]

For sure, Etta makes you feel it. Fantastic performance from the queen.

[@scottchapin2323]

Very few artist of today sing with passion, they just sing. The artist from the past had heart. You felt the song. Etta James did it wonderfully.

[@212x3]

Etta, 'nuff said.

[@billstewart9132]

She's more than a singer, she's a presence, a force contend to contend with. I can't take my eyes off her. And that band, in perfect synch with her.

[@staceyshaffer180]

I’m a couple months late to the party, can’t believe there’s only 384 likes on this epic performance and and enjoyable reaction. Really enjoy your reactions. ❤

[@aryachow]

Listen to Angelina Jordan sang this as a 13 year old. Etta James was very much Angelina's big influence. She is now almost 18

[@DaisyMae1975LOVE]

😂😂😂 You beat me! I just clicked the video to post about Angel-ina, and here's your comment. Awesome! Thank you, fellow angel. Angel-ina is a musical miracle. Blessings, my friend.

wow this Voice and Pain is so hard.......She is a Genius of Soul Music

[@cherylmack1260]

I've felt the same way about Edda since the first time I heard her. She's so good and unique and emotionally present. Sass and Jazz all the way.

[@JoseGarcia-yu9nd]

Man, I love Beth and Joe cover but Etta was in another planet. What a performance. Bravissimo!

[@danimoksia5691]

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo.

[@davidmiller4078]

Check out the whole Montreaux gig her version of Drown in my own Tears is Dynamic and features the amazing Howard Johnson on Baritone amoung the Horns Etta always had the best misicians who loved playing for her

[@ginafragata2947]

Etta James ooh my goood, the best ❤

[@HeyItsCasser]

Her version of Take It To The Limit is SO GOOD. Also check out I’ve Been Loving You Too Long

[@sherigrow6480]

I really like her Sunday Kind of Love. I've got her Best of in my car cd player right now. Recorded primarily in the 50s and 60's,

[@samolevski1119]

This is one of those songs covered by many artists, but with one definitive version head and shoulders above the rest. Others include Rainy Night In Georgia by Brook Benton, despite a fantastic cover by Randy Crawford, with even the original writer and singer Tony Joe White admitting Brook ''s version was incredible.

[@nancy9891]

She wrote this song with two others. It has been done by others but oh my goodness, she is the Godmother of Soul to me. I always think of her as the Queen of Soul but Aretha has been given that title.

[@SteveAckerman-ly3qg]

And Angelina Jordan is the goddaughter of soul. See her covers of this song, and Its a Mans World. Amazing.

[@cheezer57]

This is not Montreal. Montreaux (annual Jazz festival) is in Switzerland..John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin) on bass here..Etta was due to perform and needed a bass player, and JPJ was asked to step in.

[@tomwhite4736]

Written by Ellington jordan , etta james , Billy Foster. although it's believed that foster who was married or partner of etta james was credited just for tax reasons apparently a common practice . Ellington jordan was in prison and etta james on a visit helped her write the song . chris stapleton used the music from this song for his song tennesie whisky .and he used the lyrics of the original tennesie whisky written by dean dillion and Linda Hargrave.

[@krw73]

Angelina Jordan covered this song when she was 12 and received a new microphone for her birthday. She sat down on a sofa to test it out and absolutely crushed this song.

[@LoriRules3]

I am glad someone commented this because I was just about to! ❤👣👸

[@DaisyMae1975LOVE]

@@LoriRules3 Awesome comments 👏

[@lovebeiber101]

I doubt Angelina had the soul, passion and life experiences to put into the feeling of the song like Etta no matter how talented she is at perfecting a cover.

[@krw73]

@@lovebeiber101 did you even listen to it? But your statement just makes it that much more impressive. For a kid to be able to sit down and sound the way she does without the age and life experience is unique. It's very obvious a 12-year-old isn't going to have the experience side of it, so I'm not really sure what your point really was.

[@janetphillips2152]

So what, this is the og. Show respect

[@malcolmnash6023]

A very special treat. And Etta live as a cherry on the top. Hoping you are and remain well. A very happy new year to you, family and friends, and all who drop by here.

Gawd, I love Etta! I've heard this song so many times, and still get chills and blown away!

@lilpoohbear653 if you are talking about the misspelling of Etta on my comment,, why you think I'm being disrespectful?? You can blame it on spell-check,, other than that you definitely should check out "Angelina Jordan's" cover of this song than tell tell me that I'm being disrespectful,, 👣

@@davidfehlman5150 beautiful comments! 😍 I posted a similar comment!

[@maceomaceo11]

Considering this time frame is the peak of her heroin, coke and alcohol addiction, and by her own account performed nightly smacked up and drunk out of her mind, makes this performance a little bittersweet. She's using performance gimmicks to cover for what she felt were sub par vocal chops that she always relied on before performing wasted every night. I do feel there are stronger versions of her doing this song older and sober. Particularly with Dr. John as a duet with the male's viewpoint of the situation.

[@chrismackett9044]

Christine Perfect, of Fleetwood Mac, released a version of this song in 1970. The DJ Tony Blackburn refused to play it in case it offended anyone with sight difficulties.

[@DaisyMae1975LOVE]

Please try Angel-ina Jordan's cover of "I'd rather go blind." She truly takes it to another level. ❤ Thank you both very much! ❤

[@corralescoyote]

Lots of love from NM ❤

[@carlstahnke8121]

There's a Fleetwood Mac song with the lyric "If I could sing like Paul McCartney and get funky like Etta James, I'd never change."

[@davehackett8848]

Her performance with Dr John on B.B.King and friends was magic.

[@lilpoohbear653]

Etta plays ZERO games...love her!!

[@garyswee9061]

This is not Etta's best performance, but still is great. Her earlier work is soul/blues personified. Some comments have suggested you check out Angelina Jordan's version at age 12. Angelina is a big fan of Etta and has a great live cover of "At Last" from 2015 and a great live cover of "Something's Got a Hold On Me" from 2017. Angelina turns 18 in 3 days (January 10, 2024). If you don't know her yet, you soon will.

Agreed 💯

How do you perform this song every night for the past50 or so years and still nail it?

[@jeffmuff7880]

she uses the mic like an istrument

[@holysmokes5817]

Amazing performance and incredible vocal talent . But, a long time addiction to heroin and cocaine are taking a toll. Not the heat of the stage lights, sadly true. Easter Egg: The Bassist.....John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin

Beautiful and strong voice. I do not like the message of the song. I have never loved anyone that much to want to lose my sight for him.

Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa does an amazing cover of this song. I actually think Beth does this better, but thats my opinion though. Their Amsterdam live preformance is out of this world ❤❤❤

[@karenfryberger4260]

They did react to a version of Beth Hart and Joe B. doing a cover of this song, but it wasn't the Amsterdam performance. I agree the Amsterdam version is a must listen / must see.
