Rickie Lee Jones - Magazine

[HumongousJohnson]

He was a bit condescending to her. She is amazing; not since Laura Nyro has there been anyone as soulful and passionate as Rickie Lee Jones.

[wendyanderson59]

She is sooooo amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[bill5893]

..... very moving

[btinsley1]

SIMPLY BRILL !

[oneeyedstar]

More than incredible! Rickie is majesty!!

[kolibet]

alive

- few people as alive as rickie - intensely living each and every word and note that she's singing - and giving so much !...

- seen her twice in france - i'm a lucky man !

[225marklin]

If you ever have an opportunity to see her live.....do!

[djangoherbert]

I noticed Rickie Lee Jones first album and my ex-wife 30 years ago for the very first time - Rickie Lee's music is still with me! And I replaced my marriage-picture with a picture of Rickie and me after her Austrian concert! She's the best one!!!!!!!

[djangoherbert]

totally frustrated, because she had never performed in Austria, I requested her tourmanager last year to send her to my homecountry...one day later he replied: "let's see what I can do for you..", one week later I received an e-mail (while I was on a holiday 2000 mles away from my home), informing me that he had organized two concerts - I booked the next flight home and was sitting first row in both concerts - and after the second concert she signed my MFSL vinyl - the greatest moment in my life

[Glaeken1961]

20th 21st century best writer/performer...promotes thought and feeling..first time i heard her i felt less alone and less like an outsider..i have always wondered what she would be like to be around..so much energy and passion, sensitivity..kind ..and in the music business all that must be very difficult

[mankind891]

fantastic

[curtalguy]

LOVE!

[sal39di]

this finlly makes you realize that Dave will never be as cool as RLJ

[225marklin]

@sal39di What took you so long?

[PInk77W1]

r u nervous? no i am crazy!!!!!! we love u Rickie

[rcionco]

Genius



[spacedoginnebraska]

Thanks, this is one of my all-time favorite albums. I love her style.

[porcaro75]

Superb album with superb musicianship and sounds stunning on vinyl.

[ErikaBoudha]

Les frisssssssssssssons !!!!!!!!

TERRIBLE !!!

[tommyquintana]

Not her best work???? She's off????? Dude!!!

[MrChuckriver]

not her best work, shes off

[MyDaddyCool]

Your video has been here for 4 years thank God. I just now found it. I am so glad you posted this. I love her and this.

Screw the dang record companies. Selfesh people they are.

[225marklin]

mesmerizing...some much to love here...her West Side Story...

[diamondlotus3]

Awesome to enjoy real talent and artistry. LOVE RIcky Lee!

[officialmeshell]

8 people don't know what it's like to hear a true artist sing without auto tune.

[TheHeliumkid]

just glad i got to see it.

[oasisftw]

somehow she reminds me of Joni Mitchell. beautiful

[LadyAism]

Sheer talent - then and now. Thanks for posting! LOVE YOU MS. JONES!!!

[MrBusterfoot]

a very beautiful and nervous recluse,

on her first tv show after saturday night live two or three years before.

love her teeth.

that whisper, that vulnerability, and that strength.

and sexual. and sooo shy.

[47cardinal]

thank u for posting this song, & this mix ... in my enthusiasm for current pop/rock, I had negected to recall the emotional artistry, the words, the keys of rickie lee's piano ringing true ... in so many ! of her songs ... that's all I got ... she always brought it !

[missbossyboss]

she can sing in a way that makes me want to be a singer, and she can write, play piano, guitar and who knows what els?

[PraDecon]

Totally mesmerizing performance! I've lost count at how many times I've watched this clip. It' so good it's unreal.... This is Rickie in her prime - original, funny, intensely musical and always making the song she singing sort of... her own. Thank you so much for uploading this. Needless to say I''ve added this to my favourites!

[medievalMoon2]

oh and whats with that idiot during the interview ?

[medievalMoon2]

If I was choose ten songs. to choose to live with on a desert island with ,this would be first choice

[96mazsola96]

i LOVE this SONG!!! (L)

[daisypeachy]

I WISH!!!! Gawd I love her.....so much. I would not know where to start.....but if I had the op to talk to her....we would talk forever.

[melolane26]

Thank you for sharing this video!

[TVGord]

What's the problem with some of you people. Dave was fine. Rickie was fine. I swear, people just look for reasons to criticize. Just enjoy it.

[pastol]

Nobody can sing a song like Ricky sings it. Nobody. God I love her. Her and I, We Belong Together.

[stratman01]

Letterman was a dick then and he's a dick now. Rickie is lightyears ahead of that weenie. Geeeeez.... the mind boggles. Only in America...

[anyshitt]

@stratman01 I dont know if he comes of as a dick. (maybe Cavette)

but it is a trip when you can see how totally shallow and in the dark another person can be, when they are in the presence of a remarkably gifted artist.

you can see he totally did not get her. And I bet he would have never thought that this many years later she still has fans?

[Mazeppa4]

I should say, Perkins Palace was the first time I saw Rickie live. The first time I saw Rickie was in 1979 on Saturday Night Live.

[Mazeppa4]

I agree. The first 3 albums are a must!!! She also has a mini album called "A Girl at Her Volcano." It was released between "Pirates" and "Magazine. It has some live performances from a concert at Perkins Palace @ 1980. I might have the year wrong.

That was the first time I saw Rickie. I gave her my gold cross. She probably thought I was a Jesus freak......lol.

[Artificerabbit]

I'd recommend buying the first three albums at least. Make sure the artist gets paid.

[612franklin]

Be Sweet with the Poison Magic; Oh, Do Tell. God could be in the Sky, God could be with the Fishes (like I would know). God Bless You and Yours, Holy Sister. . ....

[sheffnyrofan]

fantastic! grew up with this.. every collection needs this lady, nyro and mitchell then its complete!! x

[DolittleAdam]

This was one of my first buys, at 13. It haunted me..this one, the wierd beast. It let me linger in a magical childhood place. One of akind absolutely.

[pollrue]

Love her songs. she is just great.

[westpalmscott]

Great clip shortly after she kicked her heroin habit. I forgot just how cute she was back then. Magazine was the first album I bought by her

[marticus9]

....closer to the skies

[pointusaki]

Rickie Lee Jones the Magazin.

One of my favourite LPs

[tallisOPUS2]

newtracks001: you obviously dont understand poetry . go and troll somewhere else idiot

[NewTracks001]

For someone who basically has no singing ability, she has had an amazingly successful career.

[Clarkey79]

What are you talking about? She has a unique and amazing voice...

[delany01]

What label are you on?

[pnyc1969]

Great, dramatic song. Total Rickie but with the clear mark of Laura Nyro. You can almost hear shades of New York Tendaberry here.

[Ericspiano]

Chills down my spine, every time...

[thisrainykitten]

Wow. Stunning.

[fayedunawayfan]

Too sad too listen too. Sorry Rickie, you make me weep too easily, you capture this life too good

[juliomalaw]

a gal from germany first introduced her to me in like 1983 or so,, evey time i hear rickie i think of nicola,, andrews,,,,,, julio

[joevannabelle]

love you rickie

[ekena]

This is excellent! Thank you for posting. LOVE it!

[anewdayproductions]

words and such

[pollrue]

just great- love her songs, there is nobody

like her.

[btinsley1]

RLJ knows how to lyricize a story delivered in coos, whispers, rises and shudders.....i will always love her...

[xxxscenes]

i just found out about her today. glad i did

[brad42948]

this was a stunning album.

[francisanosissi]

shes almost too in the zone for television..a true great

[1hidden]

Thanks for posting this one. I've never hear it. She's one of my all-time favorites.

[rickdanko4eva]

Goofy? shes the coolest bird on the planet. Ive even resorted to nicking her style. go watch live at grey whistle test....ya nut!

[nefersguy]

there's just nobody like her, an original in every way.

[fayedunawayfan]

She sure is one of a kind. Rickie has a special place in my heart, her music enthralls me.

[trevor77ohio]

the aisles in the local drugstore....

price check on avenue 'E'.....

the emoting shines on my tear-drenched face

as my heart determines how to mend!

[MediaPointEnt]

She is prety goofy. Go watch the "Flying Cowboys" video.

[karasoap]

The Applause light goes on too early..... :)

[MediaPointEnt]

No, the song was over.

[tmdaexhibits]

Beautiful girl, mind, artist. I've been crazy about her forever.

[BWFSabian]

She's never been really "pretty", but that voice and that brain for writing amazing emotional and observant songs and music, must make her one of the sexiest women who have ever existed.. Kate Bush, Harriet Wheeler and Elizabeth Frazier.. Absolute proof of Darwins' theory.. The smartest do prevail..

[SynapticChaos]

so good to see footage from the earlier days...thanks for posting...i would love to see footage from her first tour. Does anyone know if any exists?

[MediaPointEnt]

In peak form here. These were amazing times.

And yes, "she is our magic girl."

[btinsley1]

love her song writing & arrangements...still have her LPs from the old daze...she is our magic girl...

[dunrobins]

Daze indeed.

[delta9779]

She is great. Please help me find her version of "COOLESVILLE" I love the way she does that song cant find it on here anywhere.

[brad42948]

unique and brilliant, in the true sense of the word.

[tooolnut]

So Joni Mitchell! She filled a void left by Joni, when Joni had veered more into Jazz music, around this time.

[OldDood]

Forget that! Oops!

Looks like my DAUGHTER turned off my Main Speaker Volume when I have TOLD her not to do that. I have TOLD her repeatedly to use the Keyboard's Volume Controls...

(All of our Keyboards Have This Ability...Even a MUTE Button)

Parenting....It has its JOYS! HA-HA

[OldDood]

I am not getting any sound....ANYone else?

[inmarkswell]

Not only can you see what she was to all fans but you see her style copied through out time. I like that because it doesn't seem like a copy but a tribute to a land mark musician. You know when a human being comes in to the world and stands out like a flag waving saying look listen and enjoy.

[mikebtko]

The artists' artist... super-talented...  Rickie Lee Jones was rare, nothing quite like her... so many great songs... So glad we have recordings of Rickie's music on this planet... She was so amazing live as well...

[inmarkswell]

She will always be my loved one-you can't help falling for her.

[vrsca02]

I have always loved this womens voice.

[fayedunawayfan]

I just want a even just a little of the "spark" that this great musician possesses.

[pkhusker]

This was the most amazing of here concert tours (and I've seen several)... like a live music video/play... truly innovative... haven't seen anything like it anywhere since.

[mikeofcetacea]

She is such a powerful musician. You can feel every emotion though her vocals. Grew up this music, and it helps bridge the gaps between the different generations of music lovers.

[leanyears]

And I find her music as fresh,exciting and vibrant as when it was first released. Such an authentic and sincere artist.

[thompson32154]

This is my favorite album of RLJ. I saw her concert recently and wished this was included. The show was still amazing.

[jackhillty]

hey you flagboy - let 'em come!

everything's coming....

alive

[wendywildfire]

Rickie Lee you are such strong powerful magic! I love you and your music so much.. there can never be enough rlj posted for me. Thank you for sharing!

[sardodoc]

Nella musica di Richie c'è del blues, c'è del jazz e soprattutto una forte personalità e originalità.

[Marichaun]

Grew up listening to this woman- she is indeed awesome and super unique not to mention an inspiring poet! Love Ya Rickie!

[fnkymnky277]

Awesome , brilliant , still have Rickie albums. Great talent.

[rudiger1212]

Man oh man. She is just fabulous isn't she.

[Massaiboy]

Rickie is in my Life, Rickie is in my Heart.

God loves you Rickie and I love you to !!

[cassieNO1fan]

Rickie Lee is No1

[Oberg42]

NO 1!

[verdalee]

If I could have just the smallest spark from Rickie's soul I would be a happy man. She is such an incredible life force.

[Massaiboy]

Hi Man, Rickie is a personal Passion !

[verdalee]

This woman's music lifts my spirit, makes my soul soar and makes my heart bleed.

[fun2flynwa]

bliss

[dragonlee1bfed]

Old music, old song, beautiful lady, beautiful song. Exceptional voice and deep understanding of musical notes and emotional delivery. Still sounds so good so maybe all this means...timeless!

[mikebtko]

The voice is spectacular on this one! Sometimes she likes to put more flaws in her voice, and then other times she'll sing in her beautiful siren voice, oh I love whatever she chooses to do, because it's all about what she's trying to convey and that's what makes her so special. I love RLJ!!!

[mikebtko]

I've cried to Rickie a lot; every album is so uniquely different, hmmm, mmm, good, I love "Magazine". I loved them all, oh I had a little trouble with Ghostyhead, but hey I got "Firewalker" out of it, and I got the remixes of that song. Every album has something special on them for me and so many others. I love RLJ!!!

[marticus9]

RLJ is unique!!!

[rlegear19]

i`m not sure if i would like this song as much without the video but Rickie`s intensity makes it compelling viewing and a really good song. I also think this was Rickie at her prettiest .

[mzzh]

only time i ever cried at a concert was seeing her sing Company. many years ago. this woman is amazing

[TheLifeBarbaric]

Has anyone uploaded a version of "Deep Space" by RLJ from the same album yet ?

[natlan]

love her voice, her songs and her face, she is special... i know!

thk u Rikki

Rickie Lee, I love you!!!!!

I waited by your bus, like a school kid. You came out, hugged me! Signed my Pirates album! So sweet. One of the best shows ever. Cant wait to see you at Nelson Ledges in Ohio.

Awesome tune! Bought the album the week it came out. What was that, mid 80s?

You helped me grow up. Years ago......Took me away.

And still do.

********* is the s**t too! Love you ****!

DONT PLAY WITH YOUR SHOE!

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION THE NAME OF THE SHOW OR THE HOST!!!!!!

[janets2112]

goy my tickets to see her live in 2 weeks... can't wait!

[BaudeLaire78]

lucky man janets2112!!

[skippycadrain]

Rickie Lee Jones is and was a phenominal artist and this video was outstanding. Thanks

[squidgeysquirrel]

Please can somebody find her singing Pirates or Last Chance Texaco or even better Living It Up.  If anyone

could even put the tracks to some pictures of her, that

would be great. Thank you sooooo much.

[pnp2k6]

yes please "Living it up" is my all time fav. Maybe I'll make a fan Vid.. hmmm.

[squidgeysquirrel]

Oh! so great to know that some people are on the same wavelength about music. Nice one Cyril (English coliquial term by the way)

[mzzh]

28 seconds of Last Chance Texaco watch?v=bqL9TAS7IMc

i'm with you - would love to see whole thing.

[squidgeysquirrel]

mzzh I am a bit confused by your message about watching v=bqL9TAS7IMc ? Can you elaborate. Sorry. Love Ronnie SquidgeySquirrel.

[mzzh]

oh..cut and paste this " watch?v=bqL9TAS7IMc " minus the quotes in the address bar to replace the existing " watch..." part. i dont think youtube lets you put in the full address...so i put the end. it leads you to 28 sec. of Last Chance Texaco. ENJOY !!

[homeyginomolly]

Thank you so much for sharing that.

She is the very best and the new album rocks!

And I'm an atheist.

She can sing anything and no one writes like Rickie.

[lonniejamesgreer]

rickie is one of the stongest woman of my time i remember my mom playin her vinal albom when i was a kid i still love her music todayim now a pro drummer and love the licks on chuck e god bless ,you go girl!!!!

[wulf326]

Love her hair longer but this cut rocks on her! She's nice looking & that voice is so strong & true. Ricky Lee...Mmmm

[huddo999]

is it just me, I find her incredibly sexy....would love to spend the night talking to her....

[homeyginomolly]

Tom Waits called her the sexiest woman in the world when they were together.

Ever see her dance?

He was right.

[annickroujon]

I love that woman !

[runningforamsterdam]

i think i'm going to get it

thanks!:)

[JoeyPencils]

she is the man!!!!

[runningforamsterdam]

i love her so f'ing much!

i might get her new CD tomorrow

is it as great as so many people are saying?

[postingoldtapes]

I've not heard it. I have some trepidation owing to the Christian subject matter. While much great music had been made in the name of God, rarely is any Christian album late in a career worthwhile. One can hope.

[dancegypsy]

Go to A'zon and read the reviews, also you can go to some of the online music stores and listen to clips... decide for yourself. I'm going to get it, for sure.

[QUANTster]

Wow, I forgot just how incredible she is. Thanks for

reminding me Dancegypsy, you free spirit you...

-JV

[dancegypsy]

xoxox! It's great to see you here.

[dancegypsy]

THANK! YOU! SO! MUCH!! Man, I hope this stays and never gets deleted. I've loved her ever since Chuck E. first came out.

[postingoldtapes]

It should stay up as long as nobody mentions the name of the show, or the network it was on.

[dancegypsy]

Sadly, someone mentioned this, show and all in a review of her latest cd on Amazon. Might have a bittersweet result. Lots more people, like myself, who love her will search for it, but the chances of it being noticed by the suits who could remove it is also higher.

[postingoldtapes]

If it is, I'll create another account and re-upload everything I've already uploaded. But it's a major pain and takes a very long time to do so.

[lpcrooks1]

WOW. all i can say is wow

[SeychelleLaMarr]

..clearly the bestest..

[Elvisasmoose]

Staggering. As good as it gets. Thanks for posting.

[Rodsplod]

My favourite Rickie song. She looks and sounds fantastic! Thanks for posting.

[indieluvr]

Thank you so much for sharing. Good memories of seeing her live at Humphrey's Half Moon. If any one has her live on the same show -years later- doing Weasel and the White Boys Cool, please upload.

[MoycullenBoyo]

I've loved Rickie Lee since I first heard her on the radio in the Seventies, and I sort of lose track...because she's so intense. I will say this, she helps me to see in the most dramatic fashion I know, just how women feel. I just wish it didn't rip me up everytime.

[jackhillty]

everything's coming alive!

[Klevshin]

My 'take it into my grave' album is Pirates, anyone got any video footage of the tracks? Saw RLJ in London 1995, on stage, guitar, piano and bugger all else...very few could have done that...you never know when you are making a memory!

[Klevshin]

Sublime...nothing else to say...nothing else needed.

[tommystrange]

anyone have 80's version of live last chance texaco??

[postingoldtapes]

I don't have "The Real End", but I'm uploading "Youngblood".

[hp5rebec]

Brought tears to my eyes. I saw this show back in 1985, and I remember [host] being so impressed with her, which they usually aren't. I've seen her twice in concert, and there's no one like her. Now, if someone could find the video for 'The Real End', I'd be in heaven!

[guest63]

yes, this is wonderful. thanks a lot for sharing.

[ekolflat]

Wow! I cheered when the realization of what song she was actually starting to play hit me. Precise, beautiful, baddass and gentle -- a difficult song to pull off and she nails it. What a treat! Thanks for uploading.

[apollozero]

Thanks for posting this..Everytime she does one of her songs its great to see how she changes or sings the lyrics differently.. thanks, loved this... flag boy let 'em come!

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

the thing is that she sings with her heart. How many pop singers (not that I would call her one) can you say that about?

[mzzh]

she is the best - really

[postingoldtapes]

Glad to make it available, and by doing so, bringing joy to people I've never even met. Few opportunities in life like that.

[fool4music]

Words just come up short everytime! Either people get it or they don't. Thank you soooo much for the post!!!!

[DignanPhoto]

very great. the real deal.

[DerVin166]

Gorgeous!  My favourite, female singer/songwriter!

[TheKarl]

I can tell you. That got right into my little heart! Stunned.

[zyphod]

I don't what it is, but she's got it!

[tommyslover88]

for sure!
