now THOSE are some lyrics. and she always means it. been going to her concerts since i was 11. just got a reminder this evening, singin her songs karoake style, of how much i love her and the musician that is Melissa Etheridge :)
Saw her in a 300 seater in Texas about 1989. She blew the roof off (just her, bass, drums) and made me a believer, forever. It's nice to see her still rockin' it many years later in much the same fashion.
You are aging well ME, and STILL rockin' the stank out of it!!
Ohmygod, her normal voice is as sexy as her singing voice is...! I loveee Melissa Etheridge. I'll probably never meet her. I grew up in the wrong time period ): darrrrrrnnnitttt
she has always kicked butt - i remember when her very first album came out I was an instant fan drove friend crazy playing it -- they said she sounds like a frog and I told them they were all nuts listen to the songs - listen to the lyrics and pay attention and that this woman was going to be a huge star - you know how that worked out :O)
My world will be better and brighter when I see her the first time ever this March in Glace Bay, Nova Scotia CANADA!!! yes. Man does she rock or whaaaaat.
I still remember the first time I heard this song. I was at a Hartford Whalers Hockey Game and it was on before the game. I remember thinking...I must find this song at the record store. The next day I went to Strawberries, not knowing what I was looking for. I knew it was a woman and the song had something to do with Water. Well I started at the A's and looked at all the album covers with women on them until I got to the E's and there was the RED ALBUM. The rest is history.
I'm not even a fan, normally. But this was an amazing video to watch. it's no wonder how she got where she is. No red tape, no rubbing(f*cking) elbows. She got where she is due to sheer talent, heart, and leadership.
Damnit................Melissa always, always, always just SMOKES on that Ovation 12-string guitar of hers. ..........Such a powerful, artistic musician and singer. I never get tired of her.
Melissa has been a large part of my life since the 80's, you guys and gals in the US get to see her so many times, managed to get a ticket to see her here in the UK in one of only two concerts on her current tour, how good is she live? guess i'm about to find out! woohoo!
HOT DAMN!!!! Seriously!? This is an AMAZING performance -- other performers should TAKE NOTE!!!! Girl blew the roof off the place & it was just her & her guitar!! NO props, no light shows, nothing but her & the guitar!! Have loved her music for YEARS & she shows no signs of slowing down! Just keeps getting better & better!! Thanks for making this performance available for us to watch! Would've loved to have been there!! :-)
This is such a brilliant performance, Melissa goes down into the audience at stage right, so cool. This is from the Live and Alone DVD, filmed 2001 at the Kodak Theatre, released 2002.
Originally released on her first album, Melissa Etheridge, 1988. Still a rocking powerful song 21 years later.
this is hands down, one of the altime best live performances ever! She's so much better than ... just about everyone!
