Concerts from back then were so different, a sea of cellphones with the flash on has it's own charm but looking in the eye of your audience and them looking back at you, and not a screen, is really special.

I'm 17 years old, and amazed. Just one woman, one guitar. No drums, not back up vocals, not extra guitars, no studio, no autotune, just what. This is amazing. I love this. Why isn't this getting some light shined too? Like even if it's old, how often do you really see this?
@ralphyboy2510 жыл бұрын
Amazing, isn't it? The answer to your question is: Not often enough. A lot of 'popular' music has gotten quite lazy - when it comes to developing rich harmonies, melodies and bringing out the natural character (voice) of the instruments.

When I first got the CD, I watched it weekly, and often when I'm paying bills, I always turn it on and listen. I saw this tour in Chicago It was amazing as they captured here. I always said Melissa doesn't need anyone, just her and a guitar!!!

I'm fortunate enough to have watched this talented artist go from clubs to selling out arenas. He biggest accomplishment as an artist was her "Yes I am" album. She told the world that it is OK to be female and rock a guitar, it is OK to be female and drink whiskey and hang with the guys, she told the world it is OK to be open about who you love. She answered the question that plagued her for her entire life: "Are you gay"? and she answered: "Yes, I am". I have been a fan of hers for more than 25 years and still love to play her music!

Joan Schansberg, Melissa was not "outed". She didn't hide her sexual orientation, like a don't ask don't tell, she didn't discuss it openly. Her family and friends knew. Why does the world need to know? It doesn't affect the music.
@traekas72284 жыл бұрын
Joan Schansberg, She wasn’t “outed”. I don’t remember, exactly, HOW Melissa revealed her own Truth. I kind of recall someone in radio, calling her a “butch rocker”. She was aware and didn’t protest the announcement,...I imagine that the revelation was prearranged by ME and the radio station. We already knew the T, and were all just waiting for it to be official, ya know? I already had the album, “Yes I Am”. I always thought that the album was her way of coming out to her fans. We already/always knew, anyway. I’ve been crushed out on her since she graduated from playing the small venues, and bars in and around LA. I didn’t know about her, UNTIL she began to play larger venues, outside of LA.

Saw her in Dallas a few years ago, great, great musician. She made a comment during that concert that she couldn't sing in school because she was told she didn't have a good enough voice. Really resonated with me because I have a similar deeper, raspy voice and same thing happened to me in the school chorus and I never felt I should sing. The energy it takes to keep that strumming up is incredible. I've tried, it's intense..Believe me you'll be sweating and in need of water.

sometimes talent burns so bright blindness is the last call for survivals sake. this is genius. chords as solo. a voice that cuts the heavens wide. they used to make them saints. but the churches got too small. now we find them, like roadkill, aside the shoulders, and our head snaps back and back. this is what a miracle looks like, blisters hidden, scars aside, endless sleepless nights of ravage in self sacrifice, cast out in a moment of contact, of touch, of soul on soul. raw upon raw. fame is pointless, money cumbersome, this is what you live for; blood on the floor. you can't buy it, you can't have it, but it is given, and we should cherish it for it is rarefied and gone like a true love's kiss. this is genius.

Years ago, late 80s I believe, was the first time I heard Melissa Ethridge sing this song and by the end of the first verse I was on my way out the door to the music store to buy her CD.

i have loved her for about 30 years. When the LP came out with songs like this and "like the way i do" It's part of my second and last spring that we really rocked out on those songs back then. When I see this video now, after such a long time, I know that the term rhythm guitar is being redefined here. It's amazing how she rocks out alone, just with her guitar. German: Ich liebe sie seit ca. 30 Jahren. Als die LP erschien mit songs wie dieser und "like the way i do" Es gehört zu meinem zweiten und letzten Frühling, das wir damals auf dies Songs richtig abgerockt sind. Wenn ich nun, nach so langer Zeit, dieses Video sehe, weiß ich das hier der Begriff Rhythmus Gitarre neu deffiniert wird. Es ist begeisternd, wie sie alleine, nur mit ihrer Gitarre abrockt.
