Oh, but you HAVE to see her perform with Joe Bonamassa! Each of them are fantastic but together...they're just magic! "I'd Rather Go Blind" is just amazing.

[@32a34a]

That solo by Joe is just as good as any vocal I have ever heard.

[@greggalbright9849]

In my opinion, "I'd Rather Go Blind" is a much better display of her vocal abilities.

[@michelle32855]

@@greggalbright9849 I agree. I may be wrong, but I think this one here was done when she was quite a lot younger, and I do know that at one time she was having some mental health issues (very serious depression) and did some self-medicating. In "Blind" with Joe, she seemed more mature and while she always gets really into her performances, more controlled.

[@peterworth9403]

@@michelle32855 You'd be correct. She's much more right with herself now. She's done a couple of interviews about it, and is very open about her past.

[@johanbruinsma8243]

@@michelle32855 i believe this was when she just came out of rehab , clean of drugs and no bi polar medication.

[@tonyascarlett2413]

Beth is one of the greatest vocalist EVER.

[@dizzle7558]

FACTS..

[@sheilastutz6436]

The number 1

[@peterworth9403]

As she's gotten older, she's only matured and her voice has aged like a fine wine. Check out some of her newed stuff for sure. "Caught out in the rain" is a great one. Also check out "Your Heart is as Cold as Ice" and "Fire on the Floor." Another really beautilful song from her is "Home." As previously mentioned, her stuff with Joe Bonamassa is ridiculously great. "I'll Take Care of You" and "I'd Rather Go Blind" are real standouts from their Amsterdam show.

[@138NastyNate]

Hands down one of the top 5 live performances ever caught on film. Give me another example of someone channeling that kind of energy and letting out like that...Ill Wait.......There isnt one.

[@jameskeyes8881]

Beth Hart wrote that song as a teenager and won Star Search performing it

[@hisk7263]

“It’s like a religious experience” Paradiso Amsterdam used to be a church 😀

[@hlawrencepowell]

Beth is unparalleled. She wrote that song when she was 16. Best voice, best performances, greatest emotional connection, and she is a fine musician, and obviously songwriter. There is no one better. Try Bad Woman Blues, I'd Rather Go Blind (Beth and Joe in Amsterdam), Black Dog.

[@jameskeyes8881]

She is my favorite vocalist. I'm seeing her tomorrow night, May 4th on the beach in San Diego. Her energy is intensely amazing!

[@KenLavigne]

Thanks for the comments - She has such a unique and powerful voice and an absolutely fearless stage persona! Have fun at the concert tomorrow!

[@arjaylee]

Beth is an absolute Force of Nature. You won't regret going down the Beth Hart Trail

[@repluggedx3265]

I don’t know how many times I have seen this performance. It’s just “Bam in your face“. Raw energy at it‘s best. One of the best storytellers on (or in front of) the stage.

[@randyhochstein8455]

In my humble opinion, Beth Hart is the current reigning Queen Of The Blues. Nobody does it better than Beth. You are so very lucky to have discovered this amazing woman. She’s not only phenomenal solo with her usual band, but she has also performed with and for some of the most talented guitarists in rock and blues history. Jeff Beck, Joe Bonomasa, Eric Gales, and Warren Haynes to name just a few. You have stumbled upon a very deep 🐇🕳. One that you should definitely dive headlong into. ✌🏼😎♥️

[@zazune56]

Another song of hers is Caught out in the Rain live Royal Albert Hall . VERY moving!

[@josephstude5638]

I second the calls for her performance of I'd Rather Go Blind with Bonamassa, it's absolutely brilliant. Love to see more blues in general, like some Teskey Brothers or Chris Stapleton. Cheers mate.

[@KenLavigne]

Hey good to see your comments here Joe! - yes more blues for sure! I will put that in the calendar.

[@hiawatha.g]

She is a monument. Thank you for checking this out.

[@nancymartineau-bauman8770]

I say this all the time, I just love when someone new hears this performance. She is amazing, one of the best blues/rock singer in the world. This entire concert is amazing. The reason she thanked the audience for coming is this was a comeback concert for her, she was fresh out rehab and also was diagnosed bipolar 1. The first venue they were going to have this concert was sold out quickly and they moved it to this bigger venue. She was so very thankful people came. You need to jump into the Beth Hart rabbit hole. There is so much more out there she does. Still performing amazing concerts. If interested I will suggest more songs. You can listen to any song from this concert it is all on KZbin. She did some amazing work with Joe Bonamassa, and just recently did a tribute to Led Zeppelin album that is worth hearing. There are a few videos to some of the songs out there.

[@timvonr2802]

One of the best live performances on KZbin

[@jrn-ingesolheim2603]

this is the best stage preformance i ever seen and fricking awsome

[@MikeJohnson-hp8lr]

I’m 63, so I was quite young when Janice Joplin was in her prime, and I loved her voice and the power she put behind it…she really connected to people, because you felt she had lived every song she sang. She also wasn’t one of the corporate-manufactured musical celebrities that are all over the place these days. I understand the comparison that many people make between Janice and Beth…both posess a remarkable voice, a commanding stage presence, surround themselves with equally great musicians…etc. etc. Speaking for myself, I consider them mostly equal, but do give the edge to Beth. She has truly lived the blues, gone to the darkest corners, faced the vilest demons, and (unlike Janice) was able to emerge from the experience not only alive, but stronger for it. I won’t go into her backstory here since there is a lot of information out there regarding it that is easy to find. I’ll just say that Beth is loved by so many people because she is one of us. She is sweet and humble, very much aware of how fortunate she is to have gotten to where she is today. She was surrounded with good people, particularly her husband, and I think we are all very fortunate for that as well. There are a lot of great Blues singers out there, but I think Beth is the best of them all because she brings the authenticity of her background to every note she sings, and you don’t need to listen very closely to hear that. Beth is 100% real, and I hope she sticks around for a very long time!

[@missstorrm]

it's great to see someone seeing Beth from the first time :)

[@MrWo-qj2yh]

this was her come-back concert

[@LydellC]

Beth's an amazing artist. She's completely uninhibited and raw. She has battled mental illness/bipolar disorder for years...not sure where her health was at this point... Check out her performances of I'll Take Care of You and A Change is Gonna Come.

[@julien2231]

Damn! Thank you ken for this reaction. I delved deep and watched over 2 hours of performance and been crying on and off all the while. What a powerful voice and presence . Please react to "tell her you belong to me" its incredible.

Yes beth , you are the one......love beth and her honest,raw beauty .....love this gig, cant think why....haha

[@bookcraver1]

The first time I saw Beth Hart was at Chapman College in 1999 for $5! I've seen her 4 more times (paid a lot more than $5) and she puts her heart and soul into every performance. What a power house this woman is! I recommend you watch one of her early TV performances of "Leave The Light On". I believe it's listed on KZbin as "Beth Hart-10 years after Star Search". She gets a well deserved standing O from the audience.

[@epistte]

Check out Beth's cover of Led Zep in the radio studio. OUI FM, Whole Lotta Love. Its insane.

[@laceypelham7535]

i am truly amazed and relieved she survived this phase of her life.

[@clotilderomeo]

Thank you for this video that I am familiar with. I now can't help but listen and see Beth and her musicians every day! She is truly the best there is these days. We have to know her life to understand and love her even beyond music.! With great love from Italy, from Rome!!!!😍😍😍😍

[@danjmcs]

I saw Beth live back in her early solo days and also later in her career with Joe Bonamassa and she is just a pure force of nature to see live. Definitely recommend anything from the live show in Amsterdam with Joe, i see others have recommended the Etta James classic that they do, I'd Rather Go Blind and can definitely second that.

[@peterworth9403]

I always say, apart, she and Joe are amazing. Together, they are pure magic. Bring out the best in each other, for sure.

[@orlock20]

I don't believe anybody could recreate that performance for a biography movie like they have for famous singers.

[@florenceur3126]

She's the best.

[@michaelsmith2017]

She's had that voice and energy since she was like 15. Back in the early 90's, long before American Idol, she was a contestant on Star Search hosted by Ed McMahon. The format was two singers would perform and the audience picked a "champion" who would then perform the next week. She was the longest running "champion" in show history. There are a few performances on KZbin but here's one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ7QhYOlmZ5mn9k (skip to 3:16)

[@peterworth9403]

She was the longest running champion on Star search, too. Did this song as one of the performances.

[@ben-schulman]

Winners were chosen by a 4 judge panel In 1993, 21-year old Beth ran over her competition for 13 straight matches and won the $100K top prize for Best Female Vocalist. The victory didn't lead to anything, participating in the show at the time was considered a career killer, and the money lasted her about 8 months. The following year, while singing on the streets of Santa Monica, she was spotted by music manager David Wolff who was able to sign her to Atlantic records within 3 weeks--he's still her manager to this day. (10 of the 13 performances are available on YT).

[@BethHartMusic]

Thanks for listening/watching

I feel like I need a cigarette after watching this.

[@jasongoldy2571]

You need to watch her do id rather go blind with joe banamosa it is something else

[@siobhanmurphy4912]

I saw this year's ago and is still one of my favourite performances. I believe she had drug and health issues back then and has recovered since. Amazing performer and Joplin was the first one that came to me when I heard her sing. LA is a great track too. Was released as a single.

[@philomenaa1939]

Extraordinary performance, especially when you consider that her control monitors are behind her.

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

She has just incredible energy and one of a kind voice. I like your reaction.

[@Rick-or2kq]

I believe this was in 2004 she was 32 here, she is now 52 and still performing strong. In this performance she was 3 months out of rehab having a drug and alcohol problem that almost killed her,she is quite open about. She won Star Search in 1993, walked away with $100,000 dollars, she admits, "I blew it all." She had a record contract with Capital Records and had a hit" LA Song" in 1999 but they had to let her go because she couldn't get her drug and alcohol problem under control. She finally licked it, with the help of her husband and is still performing today. One tough,very talented lady.

[@arjaylee]

Look at her work with Joe Bonamassa. I think she is the best overall vocal artist out there.

[@Luana6350]

Wow, she is great❣👍

[@annabinksy1694]

These rection videos got me hooked on Beth, Lara Fabian (know Dimish is smitten by Lara but couldn't get into him!!) and the newest sensation the German group AnnenMayKantereit !! Beth is a powerhouse and I would love to catch her live.

[@corycooper9878]

Hey Ken, Great Review. Beth is a very good Blues singer. Hey can you give us some more Lucy Thomas. I think she is one the best singers to come along in very long time with that sweet beautiful angelic voice of hers.

[@ilonasmukke5715]

Ich liebe diese Version so sehr 🤩 auch wenn ich weiß das es ihr da gerade nicht sehr gut ging 😥. Dieses Lied ist fest in meiner Playlist verankert und hab es gerade gestern erst wieder beim Autofahren gehört 🥰. Beth macht fantastische Musik und mit Joe zusammen sind sie ein unschlagbares Team.

Miley Cyrus said Beth Hart was one of her favorite artists!

[@stacyhutchinson1143]

She reminds me of Janis Joplin ❤️

[@MrZipperhead16]

You talk about her confidence. Did you notice during the guitar solo, she handed the girl in the AUDIENCE the MICROPHONE? Who DOES THAT?

[@larryhonaker7185]

Beth is my favorite artist,badass& beautiful inside and out... where she tells girl cmon cher',cmom cher' reminds me of the snake in Jungle book. At the end where she pushes off the mic and turns her back too it,I thought she just "dropped the mic" because she knew she had em. Seen her a few times live myself,she is the best I ve ever seen. No one is close beside Bob Seger& Garth Brooks for me..

[@RobbieFitzgerald]

I was introduced to Beth a few yrs ago. Shes all about emotion. I worry about her voice though because a lot of time she pushes in ways that dont sound healthy.

[@orlock20]

She is in her 50s and she can outperform an early Robert Plant (based on her latest album which is a Led Zeppelin covers album) who blew out his voice in his 30s.

[@ben-schulman]

Beth is a master singer. She knows exactly what she's doing. She's had a voice coach for 30 years, knows how to take care of her voice, actually quit smoking 2 years ago, and limits the number of performances to 3 to 4 a week (always separated by a day)....

[@joonzville]

She reminds me of Janis Joplin in her 110% ‘give it all up’ for the performance.

[@gizzy2403]

You may have guessed it, Ken, but Beth has battled mental illness for yrs. Idk th details, though

[@JanKozak-ww6zz]

Self laj no tiler petr joy

[@theogre274]

I have seen "Janis" several times. She was truly great, BUT she never generated that much energy. If I had a choice of seeing her again, or seeing Beth Hart, I would pick the later.

[@wtglb]

She has a style similar to Janis Joplin

[@max1111ism]

Every time I watch this video of Beth performing this song, I think: "You know, I bet she could have had her choice--male or female--from that audience...Companion? Hell no, SLAVE!"

[@orlock20]

The blond guy that picked her up and put her back onto the stage was her husband. The woman in the audience was a friend that just had her birthday.

[@katieeasley3945]

A little too raw for this "saucy meatball" Ken lol I'm more a Martina Mcbride blues gal. But an epic performance nonetheless!

[@jimmbonz]

no one gives as much as Beth Hart (Danielle Nicole is a close second)

[@wandawilliams6037]

She is Joplin reincarnated

[@bluehorn50]

Though outstanding in itd own way, this is not really a true measure of her as a singer, so much as Janis's heir. You MUST reiew Beth & Joe Live n Amsterdam "I'd Rather Go Blind", and Beth - "Black Dog."

[@ofalltrades705]

I have listened to many of her songs that are great But this one i didn’t like.

[@bjhellstream]

Her live in Amsterdam with Joe Bonamassa is even better. The band with Joe on guitar is 10 times better than this band. So much more nuance to the music but with Beth just as raw...

[@soradicalreticsandmonitors2390]
