[daven58100]

What's the deal? Great tune, but I can't find it on any of their cds. Was it ever released?

[swally2005]

@daven58100 not this version, but "sugar" is on their "live in skowhegan" album. it's on itunes.

[daven58100]

@swally2005 Thanks for the info. They're coming to Tampa next June. Man, I'd love to see them. Hopefully.

[swally2005]

@daven58100 go!!! they are are 100x better live. i know that soesn't seem possible, but they are. i saw them last summer in minnesota. they were absolutely insane. best concert i have ever seen.

[bwmcreynolds]

@GWCHEYE thanks! that was bugging the crud out of me!

[bwmcreynolds]

Anyone know what kind of guitar the lead is playing?

[GWCHEYE]

@bwmcreynolds Scott is playing a custom Flatline guitar.

[jennerjohn]

Great Voice!

[AngusGibsonT]

00:17 Love this shot right here! She's a gorgeous gal with loads of talent!

[AngusGibsonT]

Memphis, Tennessee - the birthplace of myself and Rock N Roll!

Sun Studio - The Little Studio That Could - AND DID!

Grace Potter - The Beautiful and Sexy Face of the Next Generation of Rock N Roll!

I've taken the tour. Loved every second of it. Got to stand in Rock N Roll's baby cradle. Recorded a karaoke song. Want to go back and record more! My grandmother worked for Sam Phillips (the genius!) for WHER! Greatest studio in the WORLD!

[teenageanarchist1011]

5 people are freaking retarded.

[xpf15]

ladies and gentleman, i present to you true talent.

[cjaakia]

I'm glad that this goddess and band are not on the hit playlists! This tends to sap your spirit and you lose your center. I've been there, done that! I wish Grace & the Band continued success in that of playing what they want, of paying the bills, & just being who they are.

[markenhagen]

Anyone digging the hell out of this knows real quality music!!

[Black3Jr88]

Love this Frickin Song, and what makes it even better is Sun Records Studio!!! Yes Lucky Microphone!!!

[Yowzarrific]

Lucky fugging microphone!

[kssork]

[kssork]

swear this girl is so sexy. een when shes only trying to sing.

[chickatawbutt]

Simply Awesome!! See you guys August 20 Boston. 4:16 OMG

[dockaiser]

Sunglasses always help communicating - particular at a session

[JodieLynette]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! .....absolutely AMAZING!!

[jbage007]

this is the single most f*cking amazing thing I have seen in years!

Grace Potter is a f*cking STAR

SH*T I think I just creamed myself.

[megustacantar310]

damn. they're amazing its a shame there music doesn't get the attention it deserves. they killed that!

[thisisnotbrighteyes]

@trumbellst i agree, but now they are playing her on the radio with that paris o la la stuff that's all flash no soul, you know? let the pop stars have their glitzy fame, i'd rather see her like this all her life than turn into that.

[gbaby2360]

god this is some great music!!

[chazzdurden]

I've been looking at her videos for about an hour or maybe two? does it means that I'm obssesed with her ?? I hope so =D

[hockeytown49341]

Love that Eastwood Airline 3P DLX!!!! Sounds soooo greeeeasy!

[troutbum93]

classic gpn this was solid shit i really dig the band now but they are not as gritty and soulful

[TheJohnd1956]

thats blues music and very well done.

[theleighway]

I love love love the artistry of GNP - true musical talent!

[davecorey8756]

[Thompsongast]

that microfone is a happy man

:D

[mylico]

GREAT!!!! <3

[marybortoletti]

Love this video!

[bluesman368]

This Ancient man thinks Grace has a voice of Janis Joplin did. So full of soul and emotion!! Unlike Janis, though, she is just sexy as hell!!! I love this kid!!

Keep on rockin' Grace!!!

[jhwendland]

@bluesman368 Janis Joplin... not much to look at

[tourotv]

in every video the drummer is ALWAYS FEELIN IT!

[Mandrix37911]

Is it me or is the expression in her voice when she says "Sugar" or "Sticky" just tantalizing.. wow.. lol

[Trimbler00]

@Mandrix37911 lol definitely not just you. it was hot

[TeleCustom72]

great band, great performance, love Grace's organ playing - the growl on that thing is insane. without a doubt the best band I've discovered in years.

[leilainred]

Total girl crush. omg.

[sokule18]

Love this song. And something bout that little scream at 3:56... dam

[fenderstratguy]

I want whatever CD has this song on it

[fenderstratguy]

This guitarist is very much to my liking

[iLLBExurxLOVEsuicide]

SUN STUDIOS! The coolest studio in the history of all music recording! The piano and the drums are always there(: I actually sat on the bench for the piano that Grace is playing. Haha. And I kissed the tape that Elvis stood on to record for the first time(: Greatest place in the entire world<3

oh.. And I love this band oh so much! :D

[SunStudioSessions]

@iLLBExurxLOVEsuicide thanks for visiting us both here and in Memphis!

[impala5160]

@iLLBExurxLOVEsuicide I sat at and played that very drum kit when I was there in 2006. Love it and love the Nocturnals!!

[kevinrdougherty]

AMEN to that!! Ninety nine percent of these kids just want to post a video on YouTube on Monday and be on Leno by Friday and loading their XBox into the tour bus on Saturday to start their world tours!! I'm glad to see the real deal is still out there!!

[kf4wto]

I always wanted to be a studio mic!

[hippchickAR]

I've seen her 4 times now and Wakarusa 2011 will be #5. We beg for this song every time and never get it. It's one of my faves. Here's to hoping 5 is my lucky number!!! :) Gracie, you're unbelievable!

[camelface1]

Does anyone else have a boner?

[fenderstratguy]

@camelface1 She just wants a little cream

[sethfilippo1]

sexiest thing I've ever seen

[evike71]

Keep hitting the '9' key = la-la-la-la-la...

[GlassEyedVision]

i think she deserves to play this song completely naked, dig!

[500ncb]

what guitar is that?

[JayMunyon]

@500ncb Looks like an Eastwood Airline

[elegantwino1]

Can I upvote more than once? This deserves a 10+ upvote!

[Isingtheblues4u]

Woah...I love these guys! It is great seeing something different from them. I am used to hearing gospel/blues out of them ... this is killer. Love this old vibe!

[z0mbiesatemybf]

this is blues.

[tyleryesta1]

The bass players got the hook goin. If anyone can tell me who's famous for that I give them a dollar.

[rinalditony]

So, so sexy - 3:56. Kindof makes me understand what being a groupie is all about!

[hockeytown49341]

@rinalditony

I wholeheartedly agree.

[howiroll12]

shit is tight.

so f*cking gritty.

[howiroll12]

fuckin' gritty.

i love it.

[fingersallen]

I did this live the other night but changed it a bit and the people went crazy......thanks Grace for knowing how to pick em and sing them........if you ever need a keyboard player just call!!

[yesSIGNIFICATION]

piano fake

[JGeilsFan]

reminds me of Janis Joplin in a way

[randombumable]

This song is freaking epic.

Especially the intro.

[Citywide45]

I could listen to Grace Potter scream into a trash can and I'd think I'd love it!

[lisanth01]

WOW!!! What a raw hot Voice!

[zkwild99]

As always, there are the IDIOTS like the imbecile "plotchickens' that have to talk there shit!!! Got nothing good to say then just keep your beek shut!!!

[goleafsgo1414]

just great!

[gnarlychaplin]

sounds like little cream soda by the white stripes a lil

[turoniner]

Boooooooring. Why don't you listen to an actual classic rock band and not this patty cake throw back bullshit?

[dancergirl4521]

@turoniner i love classic rock and alternative but if you saw this band live you would definitely change your mind about them!

[khuggf]

for fucks sake... I wish she was pulsing over here....

[LifeaGoGo1943]

This is what SOUL is all about...take it!!!

[trumbellst]

Its absolutely fuckin criminal that bands like this are not part of the regular playlists of radio stations across the country. American Idol, Simon Cowell, MTV, et al continue to bring American pop culture to the gutter. The aging pop stars need to stop exploiting these reality shows , and let real bands win the hearts (and wallets) of the American public the true American way.. through hard work and grit.

[turoniner]

@trumbellst Hey if these guys were good enough, they'd be big. The fact is they're not inventing a new sound or writing brilliant pop songs. Period.

[packfudger]

@turoniner Even "brilliant" pop songs suck ass!!! Talk about not inventing anything new. Pop hasn't changed in 50 years.

[turoniner]

@packfudger That's actually a very interesting point...but there has to be something better than both shitty pop and uninventive throwback music. There has to be!

[adriennecamille]

@trumbellst well said

[Kashmir70]

@trumbellst

Well said.

Couldn't agree more.

[masha3el]

amazinggggg

[MalibuMatt350]

Stone Cold Fox

[louloufran]

what an INCREDIBLE band! Real musicans, a real singer ... wow what a concept!

[Brenboy01]

One of my favorite videos on youtube. I discovered Grace Potter earlier this summer and she is now one of my favorite artist of all time. I bought the albums and listen to her all the time. The perfect mix of rock and blues along with great and I mean great vocals. So passionate. I really wish I could see her in concert but she isn't coming to Chicago this summer. Hopefully sometime in the future I'll see her.

[sweetsinger2889]

@Brenboy01 she's playing NorthCoast Musis Fest in Chicago September 4th. She played Martyr's recently too...if you haven't seen her live, you must!!

[sweetsinger2889]

@Brenboy01 she's playing NorthCoast Musis Fest in Chicago September 4th. She played Martyr's recently too...if you haven't seen her live, you must!!

[jibidishamrock]

soooooo sexy. Now I can finally show my daughter what a great female singer is supposed to sound like. Kinda reminds me of Janis. Tons of emotion. I love it

[martind56]

incredible! Great Band!

[trishsan1820]

Amazing band ... Amazing!

[SuperGemini73]

A phenomenal performance of a wonderful song. Why this song never made any of the albums Grace Potter and her band have released so far is a crime.  Very bluesy, soulful, kick ass rock and roll. <3

[gitardoofus]

She's gettin her Janis on, for sure - so much soul/grit/vibe - and the boys ain't half bad either! Damn smoking hot band...and thank god, about time somebody showed up with something righteous. Gotta love her voice and sexy attitude!

[hockeytown49341]

That guitar sound is incredible!

[kidmillion]

I think Grace Potter and her band have that thing I find hard to describe. Rock and soul and grit and funk. I love it.

By the way, some of the comments I see remind me of something I have observed these days. There was a time when you would see some really witty stuff written on bathroom walls. These days it is mindless vapid gangster mind of a 12 year old knuckles dragging the ground pap. The porno talk and the Persia is the cradle of civilization talk is pathetic.Go play out in the street.

[soshedancessss]

Holy fuck that was INCREEEEDIBLE! :)

[masoudghotbi57]

@flobtob PLEASE don't accuse me to any country or religion or some stuffs like that... as (((MTNBIKERAZ74))) and (((YOLPLSBEST))) said.... they are not large-minded..the art has blindened their eyes.they can't be critic..sorry for them.remind you -'lordh3mch3n- when we had civilization in ancient times' where were you.you even didn't exist.now you are speaking about culture and civilization to me--from kingdom of persia -- when we had music;such prostitutes even didn't know the alphabet of music

[plotchickens]

not a very talented woman

but I bet she is an amazing fuck ..... look at her naughty-girl look on her face i bet she likes rough sex

[FulchesterUnited]

@plotchickens Not very talented? Yeh I guess that's why she's making money playing her own music and you're stuck critisizing her from your Mommas basement... dickwad.

[plotchickens]

@FulchesterUnited i'm not wrong though, she's basically crap

but like i said, incredibly sexy i wouldn't mind ramming her in the ass

[skinnerboyz]

@plotchickens Now ain't that nice!

[DocJoe4209981]

@plotchickens wow, youre a dick

[micwat49]

@FulchesterUnited she can sing but the music is unoriginal and dry. go listen to any gay classic rock station and you will hear this same shit from a ton of other bands.

[FulchesterUnited]

@micwat49 If you don't like the genre, then don't fucking listen to it. Jesus Christ! You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of truly original bands that are playing at the moment. No-one ever called Robert Johnson unoriginal, despite the fact that he was playing the exact same Delta Blues music that every other Delta Blues musician was at that time... she has a good voice, the songs are easy to listen to and she can play. I don't see why she should be slammed for that.

[micwat49]

@FulchesterUnited Oh i wont lol. i didn't know who grace potter was until i saw this video. And i have no intentions of listening to her again. Its just an opinion. I dont like what i just heard, end of story. 

[turoniner]

@FulchesterUnited Hahahathis chick doesn't make any money, are you kidding me? Look up her tour schedule and album sales. This music is unoriginal. Generic classic rock. But I'd rather listen to ACTUAL classic rock.

[kooodeal]

Elvis's old studio

[onewylde]

grace potter is so sexy

[likwidal]

Fantastic, only please don't let Scott play harp any more - he's terrible + another one of those musicians who plays another instrument well, but doesn't think he has to work to make the harp sound good; he disrespects the instrument!

[mommaliss2207]

it almost sounds exzotic:: but sounds good

[lumberjackguitarist]

that guitar sounds dirty... and so does Grace..... and I like it :)

[jcadecolgate]

she is drop dead sexy

[jelloinfinity]

what's with the sunglasses? :)

[MusicHead68]

Man, what a voice! Absolutely Beautiful!

[ghostinblack]

Great song! Great performance! Anyone knows where I can find the song? Album title? Single, or what?

[xtalrose1]

This chic and band are flippin GOOD!!

[Jenna424]

This is so wonderful I don't even know what to say!! Wow, knocks me off my feet!!!!!!!!!!!

[bassmanWillie]

DAMN THATS GOOD!!! SMOKIN HOT WHITECHIK WITH BELLY FULL OF SOUL DOESNT GET ANYBETTER THAN THAT!!! you NOCHS ROCK BUTSHE COULD MAKE ANYBODY SOUND GOOD

[69travelerkn]

Hey, what tuning do you think this song is in? it kind of sounds like if if was tuned down a step or half step.

[4rainbowed]

It's about time that a band can incorporate equal parts of funk, rock, and soul, with a woman as the front. Not only that, but one whose opinions are listened to, with talent! The fact that she's drop-dead beautiful physically is just nice, but seriously, folks, this is how music should've been looong ago. I have more respect for the men in the band seeing their attitude of respect, yet again, towards Grace.

[L3MiNiMAL]

My first time listening to Grace Potter and the Nocturnals , they kick ass PERIOD

[skantriv]

All long as the music makes you feel something then its adding something to the world of music.

[golfinfool2003]

This band and this girl rocks

[golfinfool2003]

Opinions are like assholes, every youtube comment has one.

[rldorminy]

that was orgasmic

ha

[hotkira123]

WHY did she do lick her lips at 4:14?? She was tryna be sexxi...she really don't have to try though!

[sands4us]

Sometimes to get a great vocal performance the singer has to feel the part .....get into character. I think she is just feeling the song and the groove!

And she is smok'n hot!

[peaceskypeace13]

You musn't sing, Your lips dry makes it uncomfortable and weird when singin, ya gotta lick your lips sometimes, but she does look sexxyyyy doin it!

[turoniner]

I mean they're all fine and good with their instruments but their sound is totally unoriginal and Grace Potter is lame. Like what is that tongue bullshit at 4:16?

[hotkira123]

fuck you...you don't know shit about music if you think they are lame..i bet you prolly listen to gay ass music like plain white tees or some lady gaga...

[turoniner]

I adore music. I adore everything from classical and romantic chamber music to rock from the 60s and 70s to afro-cuban big band to electronic dance music. I love obscure singers like Martin Sexton and pop icons like Elton John. I love local live bands and world famous acts. I LOVE watching good jazz music with a nice glass of scotch. This band is totally forgettable and not the least bit original. I saw them live and they had cool rockstar energy but they are just a cookie-cutter garage band.

[elbob17]

Obviously you're just trying to get a reaction. Because you love watching good jazz "with a nice glass of scotch" does that mean we're supposed to somehow respect you? You're a fucking tool.

[turoniner]

Naw my point was that I enjoy a wide variety of music. I'm not one to stick to a narrow genre and hence I'm not one to be dismissed on the grounds of listening to "gay ass music like plain white tees or some lady gaga." And DUH I'm trying to get a reaction, it's a fucking youtube comment. You can call me names if you want, but you didn't address the substance of my point at all. This is a bad doing nothing innovative. They play generic rock well but they're adding nothing to the world of music.

[ailefofelia]

I also do listen to different genres of music and even adore lady gaga cause she made a whole new meaning to the genre "Pop" so I give her credit for that but as for all people we have a certain genre that we stick to and that for me it's rock, the real genuine rock'n'roll and that is just what Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is about---"Rock and Roll"...

[ailefofelia]

GPN stick with the genuine and pure rock n roll sound and not try to be too "commercial sounding" unlike other so-called rock bands out there...I may appreciate lady gaga but GPN's records would definitely be worth keeping and worth listening to!....

[emynyvt]

I CAN'T WAIT for this album. I love this band.

[CuzenicLionel]

Great voice, feelings, wonderful Airline guitar....i really like that.

[suddensong]

They are great musicians...really. But she looked sort of stupid when she started dancing.

[Ahrlera]

Reminds me of Bonnie Raitt. Nice.

[ndrummerc]

Nice exotic sound to the solo, plus a few random moments of "Five To One" by The Doors.

[SantaCruzOM]

quite smitten with Ms. Grace now...damn! This chick rocks.

[GloVermont2]

Wicked good video man!  She's so vivacious and the noc's are very energetic rockers.

Please come see our wicked good HQ Grace Potter vids shot this NYE 15 feet from stage. The audio is perfect. Peace.

Sincerely,

Dana and Joe Kennedy

In Glover Vermont

[Sabolick90]

She has quite an excellent voice. A lot of soul.

[smolville]

Someone on you-tube steered me to Grace Potter. I love her music. I hear some

Ohio Players Funky Worm in this.

[ErinTexas]

does anyone else feel sexy after listening to this? hehe geez thats good music!!!

[salecver]

yeeeess :D

[Jess8730]

AMAZING!!!!!

[HiHo44]

Pretty cool guitar Scott is playing, a new Airline perhaps? Most of his guitars were built before he was even born...

[Tarotlaydee]

Awesome song! This is ROCK AND ROLL, old school!

[lucid4NN3]

As always, Grace is in great form. What an unbelievable voice!
