MINDBLOWING! Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - I'd Rather Go Blind

[@StevenEverett7]

Beth by herself is fantastic. Joe by himself is incredible. Put them together and they're incomparable!

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

For real!

[@aryansigrid]

Joe is something Special, 'one of a kind & a very handsome man if I may say so! (Joe is a G.O.A.T). Please check out Beth's "Discography" you won't regret an ounce of it! Beth won a competition singing @ 27 yrs old in 1997, [i think], the rest is history, as they say. (Beth has had one hell of a life, she's packed about 9 into her life so far. I love Beth for everything she's done, gone through & her amazing successes. Beth has one of the best voices in Rock, FULLSTOP!) TY for your reaction Merry Xmas & a Happy 2023!! 🤩

Actually in my personal opinion I thought the Kennedy center honors version with Jeff beck was superior to this version

[@StevenEverett7]

@@johntremmel3949 I've seen both versions. I much prefer this version. I love every song in this particular concert. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference. Have a nice day!

Of those 25 million views, 2 million might have been me. This is the best performance of all time. I love these two amazing performers!

[@PK--ITA]

Yes, Maneskin has been watched by millions of people, but they still make shit, not music... Just how many people watch something doesn't mean it's worth it.

[@GranpaMike]

@@PK--ITA Agreed. But let me ask you this -- if a band's video only has 13 views in 10 years, what does that say about their music? A big indicator of view counts is the age demographic. I see this with a lot of old, "real" Country music videos. Great music, but most of those in their fan base don't watch KZbin. A classic Country song might have a couple million views while some pathetic flavor-of-the-week group signs with the right publicity agents and gets 20 million views in a month. Beth and Joe are exceptional performers, and have a tremendous base of loyal fans. The quality of their work speaks for itself, regardless of how many YT views get tallied. Thanks for your thoughts, Piotr.

[@PK--ITA]

@@GranpaMike I've never watched a video based on views alone, never since YT exists, because that's what most viewers measure. Do you believe in the idea of "if everyone is watching it must be good"? I don't, it's like walking in a flock of sheep, if they go then I have to go, no thanks. I watch what I want to watch. If something is worth my attention, it may have even 5 views in 15 years, but if I like it, I don't give a shit how many people saw it. bye

Soon as I saw you were reacting to my favorite female vocalists ever and one of my favorite Guitarists ever I had to watch your reaction .

[@jaycarpenter5474]

Beth's story is a Blues song in itself. Addiction and depression almost took her life this music gave it back to her and turned her into one of the absolute best female blues singers today.

[@arjaylee]

Beth is an absolute force of nature. So many of her shows are therapy sessions for she and her audience. Her songwriting is top notch.

[@BlueDragon53]

Great reaction Rosalie, I'd suggest you listen to Beth Hart - Leave The Light On (Live At The Royal Albert Hall) it's beautiful.

The Late Great Etta James is smiling down tonight...they killed this!!!

Beth doing Am I The One live at the Paradiso in Amsterdam is ridiculously amazing !!

Totally agree Lawrence! I'm 63 and have seen many, and THIS performance is second to none without a doubt.

[@ThomasEJensen_TEJ]

You should really react to Beth heart in Paradiso. singing 'Am i the one' it's a showcase for all singers on how to get the audience, and interact. while delivering with her voice.

[@theglanconer6463]

One of the best live concerts ever. Just beyond beautiful.

[@randywhite1724]

As my beautiful mother used to say, “Blues is adult music”. I assume she meant it usually deals with sad topics. Blues must be felt before it can be sung. Beth feels this song and her life story has many struggles.

[@jgsrhythm100]

Original by Etta James circa 1969 I suggest Etta James " I'd Rather Go Blind" Live at Montreux" 1976 a must reaction!

[@catherinealderman4448]

Love your face when Beth started singing

[@jasonremy1627]

You've got a good ear regarding "Tennessee Whiskey" and "I'd Rather Go Blind". Chris Stapleton's version is a deliberate mash-up of the two. He took the lyrics of the David Allen Coe song and set it to the music of the Etta James song.

[@jackscott5593]

Beth is the Stevie Ray Vaughan of vocalists...raw, soulful, passionate, and coming from someplace deep and magical. **Texas Flood at El Macambo**

[@walterfletcher8276]

Takes me back to when I used to play albums. People would complain is that all you listen to. This is one of those you can't stop listening to.

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

You witnessed one of the top ten blues guitarists of all time. Of course nobody compares to Stevie Ray Vaughan. Then the founders Sister Rosette Tharpe then John Lee Hooker. Then BB King and Albert King. Muddy Waters. Buddy Guy . Howling Wolfe and finally Eric Clapton. These blues musicians gave me a strong foundation in which all other modern music derives from except maybe classical.

[@moniqueleroux2198]

These two childhood prodigies are incomparable on stage! Nobody can deny fact that Joe is one of the top guitarists alive. The true brilliance, in my opinion, is Beth Hart's live performances. She sells the song because she lives it and she leaves it all on stage. I've been in the music business for over 30 years and I have never seen a better female artist than Beth Hart. Her writing is poignant and meaningful and her musicianship, on multiple instruments, is top notch! Rasp range ( 4 octaves), vibrato and tone!

[@zazune56]

Watch her early performance live at the Paradiscio called AM I The One. RAW...PASSIONATE..SHE IS A WILDCAT!

[@mljrotag6343]

I believe it is the same chord progression as Tennessee Whiskey.

This. THIS is the real definition of talent. Not whisper singing, not aping 20 seconds of someone else’s words and music on a cell phone and especially not Americas best karaoke. I was lucky to see both Beth and Joe earlier this year when they each came through Indy. BEST time EVER!

[@scott3744]

There must be at least four or five other live performances where Beth sings this song, and they're all great, but this performance, with Joe Bonamassa, is 'the one' 👍😎

[@SylvieODonnell53]

My favourite Beth Hart songs are 'I'll stay with you ' and 'Tell her you belong to me '

[@roadkill7314]

I think the greatest thing I've discovered on KZbin is Beth Hart. By far the best artist that few have heard of. Check out any live performance of hers, she's absolutely fire! Oh yeah, Joe's not to shabby either. One of the best blues guitarists in the world but also better known than Beth. I look forward to more reactions of these two together or individually; you won't be disappointed.

I leave a light on - If that song don't grab your heart the same way this one does I don't know which one ever would...

[@crazydale1000]

I'm an old guitar player. I love how Joe always stays in the groove. He is a great player and I'm sure he can shred. He doesn't show off. He fits his solos right into the mood of the song.

[@barrydouglas6276]

I agree fully! Along the way he also debunks the notion that a telecaster is a poor choice for lead. IMO this solo is better for the tele tone and in the understated accompany role he found all the sweet textures of a very versatile instrument.

[@paulmorris8762]

you made some good observations re love

[@sunshynff]

Beth and Joe are both such pros at what they do. Couple of fun facts....I know you play guitar and really appreciated that solo, it's one of my all time favs, if you notice with the one camera angle when it first starts, you get a good view of Joe's picking hand, he uses a picking technique made popular by Albert King and a few other Blues greats, called either Hybrid Picking or Hide-a-Pick, if you notice he has the pick tucked back in the crook of his forefinger, and picks with his fingers only at first, then later switched to the pick, and back again a couple times, until the crescendo which is all pick. It's a very difficult technique to master going back in forth quickly but gives a very distinct blues sound. You have a VERY good ear, I've only seen a couple other reactors pick up on the Tennessee Whisky relation. Here's the thing though, the original song was written in 1980 by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove, who offered it to George Strait who turned it down, then to David Allen Coe who loved it and released it on the Album of the same name in 1981, then in 1983 George Jones released a cover similar to Coe's version. When Chris Stapleton was an unknown, but respected songwriter, in Nashville, him and his band would play the local dive bar scene on weekends for fun and extra cash. One of Chris's biggest musical influences growing up was Etta James, while he loved the lyrics to Tennessee Whiskey, he decided to merge them with the music of "I'd Rather Go Blind" and that is how he played Tennessee Whisky at the dive bars. It became such a fan favorite with the locals, when he decided to release some of his own music in 2015, his manager talked him into including his version of Tennessee Whisky on his debut album, and the rest is history! Great reaction by the way!!
