Bonnie Raitt - Thing Called Love (live w/ John HIatt)

[jcp0129eek]

I saw Bonnie about 3 years ago in Salt Lake City at the Red Butte Garden venue. Leo Kottke played before her...was an amazing performance...she's a little fireball !! Almost the whole audience were Baby Boomers...was fun to see Leo sporting a nearly bald head after seeing him have hair down past his knees back in the day. Was a concert to remember!

[janica1234567]

shes great!

[supercrazyswan]

ugly ducklings do turn into swans, though. But I love this song & Miss Bonnie.

[TheSophied10]

I love this song

[betlemaniaco]

guauuuu desde las Islas Canarias, just incredible......

[MsTeaRex]

In the third stanza the lyrics crack me up! " I ain't no porcupine"...lmao I know what that means...anybody???? Bueler????

[freddiemesquit1]

@MsTeaRex She just means that she isn't going to stick you with something sharp like a porcupines quills. You can move close to her!

[MsTeaRex]

@freddiemesquit1 You must be young...lol it a old saying about lose girls...if she had as many ***** sticking out of her as she has had stuck in her she'd look like a porcupine!

[feloniuschunk]

I haven't seen Bonnie lately, but man, back in the day, she was one fine ass woman. Just plain sexy. And a bad ass guitarist too. Great video....I remember watching it years ago.

[msnancybn]

@feloniuschunk  Please show some respect for a great artist!

[wisesatyr72]

Im ready Bonnie..

[jobblesticks]

Great song,great sound. Can someone help me. l have an old video clip of Bonnie singing at an other Farm Aid gig many years ago and l can't find the song to buy on CD. Not sure or the year but the opening line is ' Any old Time' Bonnie is wearing a redish trouser suit and has shorter hair. If any one can give me info about this song l would be very pleased. Thanks

[spazhoward]

@jobblesticks

"Green Lights" from the album "Green Light"

[jeangary]

Bonnie always looks great in her jeans. Yes!!!

[wagonmaster1974]

Killer song - great presence! When I am reincarnated, I want to come back as Bonnie's blue jeans.

[DrumzzKool]

Love the way JH found a rhyme for "Queen of Sheba".

Listen for the ghosts of Lowell George, Mississippi Fred Macdowell, and Jesse Ed Davis. 

[leslielovesbilly]

So nice to be able to see her eyes.. So often subdued..

[StellarKk]

3 people are deaf and dumb.

[neurofire]

I loved this from the moment I first heard it - uh...years ago, Nick of Time, but until I saw this I never knew BR had serious guitar chops. Stupid me. And doncha just love how she reveals that she ain't no Queen of Sheba. Take off your kid gloves...

John Hiatt has to be one of America's most under-appreciated song writers...that's no diss...why isn't he murderously wealthy - oh, maybe he is but he sure don't write like it. Took me years to find his version of The Most Unoriginal Sin.

[georgeisupset]

@neurofire YES, BONNIE HAS BEEN KNOWN FOR HER GUITAR PLAYING ABILITIES FOR MANY YEARS. IT'S TOO BAD THAT TODAY'S COUNTRY "STARS"

GET MORE CREDIT FOR THEIR APPEARANCE THAN THEIR ABILITIES.

[thewelford]

Wow !

[sg1947]

all time great for me

[Koetje1978]

General comment,

Thing called love is for me not to work on a real life friendship or something more on youtube to work something out,it''s only for me spend some time and learn something languages and what know something mean and look to good music to easy to find and sometime whit a nice created video instead to look for,but not always.

[ThePerfectIllusion5]

@Koetje1978 I Totally Agree.. Pie Is Better Than Chips (Y)

[rocktenniscat]

Two of the best! Enjoyed this very much!

[xxRawkiTxx]

Luv this Southern Hotie :)

[clfrench51]

Love it! Bonnie and John at their best! Its some blues Love!

[rickbangkok]

Was Bonnie playing this in an Open Tuning? She is great on slide.

[LakeUtopiaMonster]

John Hiatt Rocks.. He wrote this btw. They are both awesome

[blackstaril76]

2 of my ABSOLUTE favorites!...

[cingny1]

The band is John Mellencamp's.

[mirianization]

Nossa e muito bom, posta mais e mais  bejusss.

[mirianization]

Nossa e muito bom, posta mais e mais bejusss.

[ninasers]

Anyone into this should check her bassplayer "freebo's" music, "before the seperation" "dog people" and "the end of the beggining" check on itunes or cd-baby.

[cumtied]

I wonder what she's doing now? I hope she's happy in her life right now. She gave the world much to love. She's great forever and ever.

[geldhundt]

@cumtied Saw her last summer & she looked & sounded great.

[MsDragon53]

If Bonnie sang a bit more like Taylor Swift, do you think she could make on the Country Music Awards? LOL Bonnie would probably blow their fuses.

[uncledevo]

Get Billy Hector's CD "Traveler." Suzan Lastovica sings "Wild Heart" to Billy's slide guitar work, and that song is both beautiful and Beatlesesque. Worth the price of the CD for that song alone. BTW, Billy opened for Bonnie Rait at the R&R hall of fame, and she loved his guitar work.

LITTLE FEAT rock! See you down at the Spanish Moon....

[zingela]

@MsDragon53 You bet your ass she would. ;) Nobody does it like Bonnie.

[jenhba]

Personally I'm glad she sings like Bonnie because I like her better than I do Taylor Swift. It's typical that you have to look like society says. Bonnie is the Queen and there would be no Taylor without Bonnie. Rock on Bonnie.

In October 2009, Obama signed a presidential memo eliminating a tariff on Israel that protected American dairy farmers and which raised money for the American economy!

IT AIN'T LOVE for US when one of the richest nations on earth- a nation that consistently flouts US laws and policies in violation of US trade agreements blocking American products entirely from being imported into Israel screws US Dairy Farmers!

[jetspino]

are you fucking crazy

[MrJensmelbye]

where i come from this is called old time. but for me it is big time.

[soaringvulture]

John may have written it, but I'm sure he wasn't ready for a thing called Bonnie. What a performer!

[40sreddoll]

James Raitt her cousin, a friend of mine.... lost to AIDs a few years now. Ive loved Bon since girlhood.

[uncledevo]

Bonnie learned her chops as a backup singer at Lowell George's Little Feat, God rest his soul. The Gov't Mule cover of Spanish Moon is great! Check it out on Grooveshark!

[MsDragon53]

@uncledevo I loved Little Feat. Still do. LOL

[mrbubbles4q]

She should of went over and kissed John's @ss for writing this the biggest song of her career.

[TheSpiderDancer]

ok, I get it. You're a big John Haitt fan. Still, no need to be snippy.  Also, not true about the biggest song of her career thing. Read up. She's pretty f&#king awesome all by herself.

[macsdounix]

Oh, please. She does this as the second song in her set these days. It's an obligatory throwaway, and it definitely wasn't the song the crowd liked best - that would be "Something to Talk About.." Bonnie's had much bigger hits, if that's how you judge a person's career. Don't misunderstand. I like this song a good bit, but your comment is simply ignorant.

[katzinjammer1]

Talented gal....Saw her dad, John Raitt, in 1951....traveling musical "Oklahoma". Got his autograph.... He was a talented man... Love that red hair on Bonnie....she exudes energy.

[udon890]

Bonnie, will you come to Toronto, Canada ??? Please ???

[DirkjeA]

This is just great.

[SuperRex44]

Bonnie's voice is great! Alot of bourbon to make that lovely sound

[tracyb934]

Bonnie's father is John Raitt who was very big in musical theatre some years ago.

[rosesredvioletsblue]

Bonnie is such a great singer and performer!!! Love the video.

Yes, Bonnie has soul~~~ does she ever.

Love this.

thank you

[tracio44]

agree.

 john hiatt.....master of disaster...great

[timin770]

saw her at Center Stage in ATL a few years ago, and we had front row seats. It was a better view than I had the first time I saw her, nosebleed seats in Raleigh NC. Both shows, however, were great

[DanceFanAZ]

John is the man!

[LT51190]

omgosh she has a killer voice!!! even live shes amazing!

[MommyCE]

Yes yes yes!!! Love John and love Bonnie's remake with him on back up!! Johns baggy pants always kill me lol:) They should do more together

[YolondaHayes]

Is it pronounced Bonnie R(ay)?

[nursepeachy]

No, pronounced Bonnie "Rate" (Raitt)

[littlekidsrock]

Nice to see Bonnie Raitt is this light!

[Cerph]

ouch- that girl nails it

[duncandenny]

She may well be one of the best 'slide guitar' players around. Shes been going a while.

[z8it]

That sound man should taken out and beaten with a stick.

[alphuez]
