PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me & Interview (Live 1993)

[WhiskeyYouth]

this sucks....

how embarrassing

[GG74K]

The sad thing is that society call's this dangerous, what a pathetic world the people living lives of quiet desperation want to make it. Anything that is RAW and honest is considered dangerous. Yes, great masses of zombies, we know your much more interested in comfortable untruths rather that uncomfortable truth....the joke is on YOU...life doesn't give a shit about your logic...word

[fetishisticrose]

I LOVE that album!!



[wizarda7x]

Anyone ever compaired her singing style in this song at parts to Rasputina's In Old Yellow Cake song???

[kaisamsa]

She's a nympho

[montecarlostar]

she's got a lip disorder

[joshsboringlife]

Shit I've never seen this, thanks a lot for posting bro!

[Superwondermanhyper]

Beauty at it's perfection.

[hela99]

thats one of my favorite lines in an interview ...'...and after about two weeks they drop off'...and then 'are men that you date surprised to hear this? 'haha :)

[curiosofsigns]

Brian May of Queen was notorious for outstaying his welcome at parties round at PJ Harvey's farm. That's why she had to write you're not rid of May. And you can really tell Jay Leno hasn't even listened to the album when he's saying how "fascinating" it is..

[Starkardur]

@curiosofsigns maybe he thinks its fascinating. You don´t think it is.

[Davinthree]

Just a girl and a guitar.

[Namami88]

SHE'S GOT GUUUTSS

[cynthiailly]

wow, amazing raw ballsy performance...love it! and the interview afterwards, lol.

[MrBrewtastic]

I love her

[officialBOYchannel]

WOW. She was such a pioneer. IS. I could just imagine what the viewers and audience (who aren't fans) were thinking then. Never seen this live. LUV it! One of my fav. trax. NICE!

[wmprokipchak]

what a f*ckin electrifying TV debut=still gives me chills nearly 20 years(!) later.

(and I like the cute interview.. and speaking of balls, she's got more than most artists ,and Leno)

Long live PJ

[hampusheh]

@TheMusicismylife9210

Yeah... Alanis Morissette is really on par with PJ -_- (judgemental sarcastic hipster face)

[revolverproducciones]

love it!

[mrfingers6]

this is the fuckin shitest thing iv hear

[pepperdoc5]

michael richards loves it.

[slagette]

funny thing is Leno-man prob listens to beach boys & carpenters. Two very skinny girls wlth voices on a par with Elkie Brooks.

[kevleitrim]

@slagette i have to disagree, i think hes a genuine fan look at him when she appears on his show hes always excited to have her on, and asks her to autograph the album.

[hampusheh]

Polly is so amazing, she could even have one of those lame cooking shows and I would watch it in pure giddy delight.

[JaneLame]

I read on Wikipedia that some journalist asked her, "doesn't this song sound too psychotic". It really upset me, how dare he judge anyone that has been in this condition. That has been dumped.

[JiS01]

I bet she's total wacko in bed.....love it

[ManInRoom5]

That was all the time they gave her? WTF?

[amatoanima]

GOD her voice is so rich. Just her, and a guitar, no backing band... Who else has that kind of strength and power?

[thundercarrut]

please erase

jay from this

please

he doesn't belong on the same stage

with this real queen of england

[batsarecool09]

"after about two weeks they drop off."

LMAO!!!!!!!

[joydivision1980k]

fearless

[mrmrscosanostra]

i love that stroke look.

[thatseverin]

amazing.... who booked her for leno? polly reminds me of audry hepburn

[davidwaynereed]

My head just exploded in delight. 

[punkkitties]

So bold...all by her lonesome on Leno-TOTALLY POWERFUL!!

[drenishehu]

my wife

[frictionmisi]

SSSSSSSEXYYYY!!!!

[frictionmisi]

SSSSSSSEXYYY!

[checkeredgeek]

Damn you, Kramer!

[ilovedankassbud]

when her voice gets high like that, my panties fucking drop. goddamn.

[punainenvillasukka]

pure perfection

[sinbin55671]

LICK MY LEGS!!!!!

[himynamesyoshi]

i don't really like Rock n' Roll

but i've gotta admit that PJ Harvey is AMAZINGLY GOOD!

She has more power in stage than a lot of full bands out there

:)

[Downbythewater73]

Nice.

[lapislazuli7]

It is so bizarre: One minute you sing about sexual desires, the other minute you´re supposed to do small talk.

[manwithnoname123]

oh wow, this clip is finally back up on YouTube! yeah, i agree with some others here that this is one of the great live musical tv moments by any artist. Polly talks about testicles in her interview (ha ha), but it took real balls to just stand up there alone on stage with a guitar and belt this one out - an absolutely fearless and galvanizing performance. (and i love those eyebrows!)

[bklmsoul]

hell yes leno, it IS an impressive album. yes, album. album.

[luisnavarrette]

Simply fuckin amazing, thank you much for sharing a piece a great rock n roll history.

[biennialist]

prefer the naturalness, eyebrows et al

great song!

farming too

[PsychedOut17]

Kramer kissed her on the cheek,Lucky girl

[zarni000]

i'd say he is the lucky one

[PsychedOut17]

@zarni000

True true

[sparkalot]

Thank god someone re-posted this, I was heartbroken when it was removed....

One of the GREATEST moments in network broadcasting history......along with Bowie/Klaus Nomi on SNL, Beck on SNL, and Iggy on Letterman....

[lucasboden]

She's got so anti-playboy looks, but she is sex on a stick.

[anglinthemtns]

@lucasboden If she was American or working in Hollywood she'd got a nose job & also other plastic surgeries. Our American women are so unnatural & are self-mutilating to look beautiful. Most including Halle Berry, Demi Moore, Pam Anderson, etc... are fake. PJ is natural- sure she go a little breast enhancement so what- if she was American she would have got a C or D cup. Also most the Playboy pic are airbrushed- maybe you can get off on that. At least PJ gives us great music to do it with.

[AvrKadavr]

Sheep farm :DHow adorable ^__^ One of the best performances I've ever seen btw *_*

[sightseemc]

I remember seeing this live back then. The way she freaks out Leno is priceless! Thanks for posting.

[proteinpornografi]

love her!

[acousticdreamer]

I'm so glad this is back on youtube!!!! Love this=)

[goosewad]

Thank you so much for reposting this!

[VAwriter]

Thank you so much for posting this. The song is amazing, of course. But the brief interview is priceless!

[translateslowly]

I posted this same video a long time ago and youboob pulled it. You might want to edit the leno part out of the header!!!!!!

[bitterlittlebird]

Thanks for the tip. I hate it when all of a sudden your favourite video has disappeared...

[natashaclaire]

yeah, I remember you had this video up before, and I LOVED it (both performance & post-song-interview) then I tried to show it to a friend, only to find it had been yanked (like a testicle?) thanks so much bitterlittlebird for reposting!

[gratedane5]

its kinda cute that she sings out of one side of her mouth sometimes.

[XguitarrockerX]

Yeah, I've noticed that too! I like to see close-ups of her mouth, maybe a bit weird but I don't care haha

[lookatdoor]

Interesting, her whole interview consisted of talking about testicles. You learn something new everyday

[lookatdoor]

It gives me great hope to know she still lived with her parents at this point. (sorry for all the comments)

[lookatdoor]

I guess she was always fond of the stripped down version of this song

[darrenlaney]

Brilliant! Just saw her & John Parish in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago. She's timeless and amazing!
