PJ Harvey - Shot of Love (Bob Dylan cover)

PJ Harvey, December 1999, Music Of The Millennium Awards, Channel 4. Polly chose Bob Dylan as her "musician of the Millennium", performed this tribute.
Lyrics:
I need a shot of love
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president
I need a shot of love
Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me afraid
What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed Jesus when they put a price upon His head
I need a shot of love
I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you
I've heard all of them rumors and I know you heard em too
Don't show me no picture show and don't give me no book to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside, the habit that it feeds
I need a shot of love
Why would I want to take your life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends
I don't wanna be with nobody tonight,
Veronica ain't nowhere, Mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me, he's swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?
I need a shot of love

Anybody else stunned by this version? Amazing and the power of these lyrics coming from PJ Harvey... Wow.

[@nobbynoris]

I remember seeing this performance on the TV at the time and being blown away by it. I still am. I have never been a Dylan fan BTW. It takes someone who can actually sing to sing a good song - and this performance just proves it.

[@emirbajrektarevic8097]

I can't stop listening

[@pollyskirt1]

She rocks ,the ultimate rock n roll girl .

[@hermansutter7857]

Greatest version of a Dylan song since Hendrix transformed the Watchtower...

[@charliesideshow8400]

So very, very true!

[@OldSardul]

Agree 100%

[@swoosie89]

she actually made this great song better...way to go polly...

[@markheywood5626]

The real queen of England

[@gabro-ut6nh]

siiii

[@sticksman1979]

This is one of the greatest live performances of all time.

[@1blackfrend]

Fact.

[@vicore5647]

Works at 1.5x, too...

[@greendrinkguy1882]

@@vicore5647 lol 1.5 is intense, but 1.25 is maybe better cuz its less hyper.

[@johnlarrazabal7494]

PJ Harvey changed my life......i still love her ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@terri-b7492]

Pj is the prettiest star in the sky and shines the brightest ❤ her

[@jmunsey828]

She makes it look so effortless! The raw talent combined with years of experience, she is one of the very best!

[@bh8365]

PJ always seems in total command and exuded confidence when she performs. Best cover of this song that I have heard. Even though it's the only one.

[@terri-b7492]

If Pj needs a shot of love,well here I am waiting for her xx❤xx

[@AlexD-cu3qi]

Rock it hard sister.

[@Ye110wjacket]

What a terrific performance. I remember seeing this when the show was originally broadcast and thought it was awesome that she chose this song to sing.

[@chrisjones-on7kf]

Yes, Best cover version of a Bob Dylan song I've ever heard- along with Joan Baez, love is just a four letter word. PJ Harvey makes it her own

[@AlexD-cu3qi]

I could watch this a thousand times and not get sick of it. It is pure adrenaline sexy. Wow.

[@workingmansblues]

Fantastic and electrifying performance. She is something else.

[@user-dd9ub2mt8x]

She is stunning on stage.What a voice !!!

[@elizabethhann4028]

So amazing, to hear PJ Harvey covering Bob Dylan. There's always a certain frisson to hearing *any* woman rock'n'roller covering Bob Dylan, but especially Polly.

[@darin1697]

My goodness this is just outstanding. Maybe the best Dylan cover ever including the byrds and Jimi Hendrix and that’s saying something

[@davidcolton6201]

This woman is incredible! She dominates it! Her voice, attitude and guitar p[aying are all thrilling. Love it.

[@stpeterson7644]

Only 46k views? Sad. This is an outstanding performance by PJ, flawlessly executed in great rocking fashion.

[@michaelnowak2761]

Now it is 75k views - after one year. Its still "only".

[@tohellwithgeorgia]

@@michaelnowak2761 pretty sure that's because I've watched it 29,000 times myself in the past year.

[@GilesConradWatson]

A transatlantic meeting of two of the greatest minds in rock. Fabulous!

[@mueber0513]

Oh my gosh.♥️

[@maximilienv72]

magnifique interprétation, fantastique, avec cette voix qui monte de son ventre et sort parfois un peu rauque, dans une intériorité parfaitement alignée. Polly Jean est extraordinaire.

[@valkyria2734]

This is an epic over by the one and only

[@tobyjackman3212]

This is amazing. I've never heard this song not suck before! She should play it more often

[@eyesjamesq]

Great energy

[@charliesideshow8400]

So gooooood!

[@robbdavies7749]

Brilliant arrangement

[@keithfitzsimons815]

"Tatooed my babies with a poison pen",great line that!

[@rndyblck]

The greatest fix

[@breibreii]

PJ Harvey, you are the best! Love your music!

[@stephenchase3352]

electrifying,,,,,mesmerizing,,,,,,satisfying........

[@johnniejukebox]

...it dont satisfy the hurt inside or the habit that it feeds......x

[@vdoh-valerd]

Сильно, стильно, грамотно и жёстко

[@acampomft]

Polly rocks!

[@jpcpm1340]

Her band then was amazing. I wish the camera had zoomed in on the bass player.

[@anthonymitchell8893]

@tecdessus the one and only poly Jean Harvey pj Harvey goddess of all goddesses

[@anthonymitchell8893]

@tecdessus fair enough I will go and see him later are you American I saw pj Harvey at Glastonbury 1995 at one of the smaller stages she was in a pink cat suit the song that stuck out for me was ze monster though long snake moan stands our the bass player could be John parish she is 51 now she would have been 24/25 I have mot seen anyone better ad an all round musician artist but that's just my opinion he back catalogue is immense

[@anthonymitchell8893]

@tecdessus oh I wasn't paying attention I will go back and watch it thanks

[@anthonymitchell8893]

@tecdessus tour probably more an afficionado than me Some one said they saw her in Sheffield 1991 I didn't pick up on her till 1995 late to the party

[@maryhash7588]

never tired of this power trio when PJ at her peak. Her new sets are quiet disappointing. Back to raw power please.

[@Sir_William_Marshal]

No they are not, I saw her recently and not only was she brilliant but she slayed a lot of her old songs. So whats this nonsense about back to raw power when she still performs those songs?

[@scottreynolds7768]

Is this a tribute to Bob Dylan concert if so where can I find d it

[@se1bridge]

nope - a tv show with one-song tributes to various 20th C artists

[@stonedog1000]

How about Samantha Fish and Polly on the same stage!

[@valkyria2734]

Pj is one of them but why bob Dylan and not david bowie

[@ChitsuFukuhada]

I remember this embarrassing show. PJ Harvey stood out like a diamond in the middle of a three hour extravaganza of non-stop garbage.

[@billking8843]

Bob Dylan can't sing or play guitar but he can write awesome lyrics. When someone who can sing and play guitar covers Dylan songs, they are almost always better than the original.

What happened to the blues/rock Polly......she's still great but let's face it the latest version is not a patch on this Polly.
