Rickie Lee Jones - From My Living Room Live Stream (Concert 2)

[@agohorel]

Hi Rickie Lee Jones~ I listened to you back in high school during the late '70s. I loved you then and I love you now (and all the years in between). I just read your book-- and your words-- whether they take the form of lyrics or a book, touch the heart, the soul and reach and find the melancholy corners that are hard to access. "Artist" is not a word to be tossed around-- You are one!

[@calvinburnes1135]

i just love how she weaves stories with song in this live session. her stories are like songs and her songs are like stories. which makes weaving them together so interesting. i saw her live in santa cruz in the 1990s. i think that was during the ghostyhead period. wow what a concert that was. it felt like such an intimate experience and it was because it was a pretty small venue. something beckoned me yesterday to do a youtube search on her, i hadn't heard her in a long time. and i was missing her. and i came across this beautiful little gem. thanks rickie, you still totally rock!

[@sherryruth3749]

Thank You! Such lovely truth & honesty! & Beautiful Smile like icing on cake!! So Good to see You!!! keep on Rockin' & rolling! Shine On!

[@unclestashtv1125]

Just saw you in Albany, NY a couple nights ago. You have brought a lot of love and magic to this world. Thank you Rickie!!!

[@joesmith1957]

Last Chance Texaco was one of my favorite of yours, one of many. I so much enjoyed finally seeing you perform live several years ago now in Paradise. Thank you for sharing your music all these years. ❤

[@kevinbartlett6739]

Wandering through KZbin looking for something beautiful and stumble upon RLJ telling stories of Tom Waits and Lowell George and singing Long Distance Love....

[@SomeoneHasToSayIt2525]

OMG!!! I’m so thrilled you did “Real End”, I’ve never heard a live version! Soooooo good! I met you at The People Magazine/Carol King soirée in NYC circa 1996. You invited me to your show at Joe’s Pub and had my late friend Steven come along. You were superb. It was so kind and generous of you to indulge us with your time backstage after the show. Your mood is consistently real, ethereal and ever preset when you’re not momentary drifting back into your own world. One of my very favorite moments in time. So good to hear you sounding better than ever. I’ve never seen another artist who continues to grow dimensionally and exponentially as much as you. Very best from the 30th Fl above Hell’s Kitchen. ❤

[@shermac246]

I love everything about this, I was taken back to heartache and my first passionate love affairs because the backdrop them was Rickie Lee Jone’s on my turntable.

[@StevenMichals0812]

Still sounding good and looking good

[@wendystylers]

I always enjoy your music since chuckle in love and so nice listening to you in your living room love you 😍🎶

[@23rbarrett]

We saw her solo in Knoxville in 1990 or there abouts. Walked out, played "Last Chance Texaco", and it was on. After a few more songs, she set her guitar down, walked over to the piano, lit some candles, asked for the stage lights to be turned down, and said, "let's see if we can cast a spell." We sorta chuckled, right, a spell. Well, she cast a spell over two thousand people, immediately. I think with "The Magazine", "We belong together", and another, maybe "Coolsville." It was staggering. Leo Kotke, who opened, came out to play with her, and he was a mess, tears streaming down his face. Artist.

Love you Rickie !!!Aloha from Hawaii,,,you look great !!!

[@jodiehirtler1845]

In 1983 January I began college at SMC. Bro. R was the music professor. In the evenings my a pal A. H. and I would walk up from the dorms...and stop at the grassy area between the boiler room and music building and listen. We listened to the sounds of a piano...sometime fitfully, sporadic and then just playing...playing and singing....your singing there...and now....here. So long ago....and so recent as now. I'm in a time wrap....or...so it seems. This riff on 'We belong"....is bringing me around...again. I'll never remember a time when this was not somewhere in my auditory memory. Bro. R. instructed several of us that you were going to be around the school....but we were not to disturb or bother you...as you were in need of a little contemplative space and time. I'm so glad you were able to fill the air then with your grand spirit....great soul soothing and loving self. Bro. R. was so generous and when I needed three additional credits, he suggested that he could develop a course in theory and music history...and so for an entire semester it was he and I for the courses to fulfill the credits I needed. This video was a great refresher of so many memories and I will all ways remember your offering such sweet sounds and feelings then....and now. Respectfully Ever SM (I'm on my wife's device)

Wow 🎵Genuinely transporting🎶🙃Thank you ♥

[@mikeots50]

[@dsmithdarovic]

Oh boy. I saw you at The Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis last night. Biked there, wept, laughed, hooted & hollered. With deepest gratitude. This is such a treat!

[@lauraagigian8653]

Rickie Lee, You are the balm. You wear your heart on your sleeve and it is raw and healing. This live-stream is like a musical theater piece- hearing you tell the stories then playing the songs that go with them- it is like your life in music. (Your life IS music.) Beautiful.

[@anniekaufman5213]

I feel exactly the same way♥️ I get to see her 9/26 in Tucson. Love her auto biography-it’s so real and well written. Just discovered this channel in 2021

[@allannakama2787]

Happy Birthday Miss Rikki. Thank You

[@lindaredmond2247]

[@Susanna-ti2pv]

Thanx for sharin'...you say "you gotta remember where you came from" i dont remember where i came from but i hear we all come from the same place. Going back there would be somethin' else. You inspire me to write.

[@bobbygoodman2875]

Why do I feel so very close to you Rickie. Damn I do love you so.

[@naydee]

I’m here in my disarray farther in time but closer in geography I feel like I know you more than I should but not as much as I’d like. 💕

[@craigmackay7545]

Rickie. That was brilliant!

[@lindaredmond2247]

Thank you ❤️‍🔥

[@user-rx4vf3md5s]

Just one word, "beautiful" hearing your stories. I have always been a fan. Your an amazing song writer.

[@jimfenderman5215]

Nice...I've been a fan since a roommate gave me your first album. Just read your book, outstanding!

[@kennethtrayer5565]

I agree that some or most of the best stories are for children..

I have never seen the Brilliance of Rickie Lee Life. I belief however I do have all available Albums to me that were released in Australia which means I have been a Fan of Rickie Lee Jones since 1978/79 with the realisation that I have loved her & been a great fan for 42 of my 60 years on this Earth. I can only still hope that one day/night before I leave this Earth that I will see her Live. Thankyou so very much for who you are Rickie Lee Jones a Lady that has the ability to make me weep & smile Ode how I long to have had the chance to have been the man in your life that you longed to turn you. Oh just one more thing how Groovy is you smile long live & record RLJ. xx

[@KatMac5]

Weeping to the song you just sang ...I had only heard from Paul Simon previously....I never cried ... somehow I understood it deeply when you sang it in your living room.. timing has a lot to do with it/me.

[@briandiaz2234]

❤️❤️❤️

[@askingbetterquestions]

Rickie, thank you for this! The stories, the honesty, the poetry and music, all remind me why I fell for you all those years ago and haven't looked back. YOU are dear, and always have a friend in W. Seattle. LOVE!!!!

[@k.k.rydersrockshotzshownte9406]

I just got your audiobook;-) excited to start it- and ya here ya are!!

[@garlandhogan3158]

I have always been so impressed by the way you hear harmony and melody outside the pop frameworks. It feels kin to Joni Mitchell's great compositions. (No, not comparing you to anyone, just acknowledging how unique each of your writing is.) Oh, yeah, and of course how hip and jazz inflected your grooves are. But what a privilege this is, for you to invite us into your home, sharing your personal stories and adventures and slings and arrows... Thanks, Ms. Jones.

[@lindaredmond2247]

Please sing ,, company, u make me so happy ,,, your Beautiful

[@unattractiveashell6904]

Thank you Love from Japan 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@happyf971]

OMG - I’m a die hard fan of 30+ years from Perth Western Australia. I saw you 25 years ago in Perth when you performed, pretty much solo, in a suburb here called Subiaco (at a theater) I have ALL your albums since my older sister introduced me to your music when I was 14 ( now 46). Please do more of these home shows!!! 💜💜💜

[@GayleLynn8]

I absolutely love this song, love you Rickie. I played your record in the 80s every day and pretended to sing like you. I love singing your songs! This is so cool to see you now. 🌷🌷🌷

[@ExtremeRecluse]

I bet she could take these words and put them to incredible melody.

[@fenderguy4life]

you reach my soul. thank you.

[@farmyardflavours]

I love you more and more each day. ❤

[@sallynero5536]

Just love. Thank you....💙

[@ampm24-7arts]

it really is the BEST way to live to be able to "be" without any expectations in the mix, period. one of the main reasons i needed to drop my desire to "perform" is because i could no longer deal with ANY outside contingent. i mean, i could, but it wasnt worth it anymore... just being calls me stronger now.

[@paulnewtonhillfortfilms6712]

absolutely fascinating and absorbing, wonderful insight into your emotional journey... I bought your first album in 1979 and have been hooked on your music since.... when you opened your set at the Jazz cafe in Camden, London around 2012, I'm sure you were singing directly to me up on the balcony..... well, thats my recollection

[@arayahmariah]

just found these concerts and paused this one as soon as she talked about releasing a book to pre-order it. can't wait to read it! 💜 💜 💜

大好きだった初期の曲が聴けてうれしいです。月日は経ったけどあの頃のかわいい歌声と全く変わってない。We belong together ♪

[@kennethtrayer5565]

At 37:10 " real end" . unless you are a musician who has performed shows or led groups, recorded, run sound/lights , even choir or church worship, you just don't get how difficult it really is to set up a song list, keep the energy, engage with the band and audience or extra singers/congregation, and the pressure to responsibly lead ,story tell, and incorporate instrument changes, key changes and unique tuning. all the while not being totally burned out by playing the same songs 1000's of times closely enough to original so everyone likes and understands, ...... while making it spontaneous. Once in a while things are spontaneous, but those are rare special times. This is the hallmark of good artistry, to make it seems so smooth and easy....

[@rainnotter]

LOVED this. And love watching it again. I get so much more when I watch you twice.. you are jam packed with goodness.. xo

[@danielbeggan8024]

Hi Rickie Lee, your thoughts on your lyrics are well received here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 😎🎼. But I've gotta say your honesty in your past drug use is staggering, if only more people of status could be more akin to that honesty. Thank you, your fan from '79 a nd still (Kicks was a nice surprise) x

[@johnrose6230]

Love the version of The Real End 😀

Ms. Jones' a goddess... still can't find a version of her doing "the way young lovers do" well.... where's it? What's it? Did I dream she played it in Nashville on the pirates tour?

[@mmakshak]

I remember in 1980(I think) I kept hearing a song on the radio by Rikkie, and spent time trying to find it on her albums, and I never did find it. Anyone know what it was? It could have been just a single..

[@danrowe79]

Beautiful setting! Love the little Fender amp and the wine bottle on the piano. 12-string tuned to Open-D? Thank You!

[@LavenderLori406]

Rickie! So fun to hear these stories. I admit I did not know them but I've always been a big fan of yours. I saw you in concert I'm pretty sure it was in Missoula Montana but coulda been in SLC early-mid 90s. When is the book coming out? Thanks for these living room intimate treats!

[@rdesarle]
