  • Always loved her voice and the guitar player did some amazing work on their albums.

  • I love Johnette

  • Adele ripped Johnette off. Rip off!

  • She's living in Joshua Tree, California now. Johnette sews, blogs, and now has her tattoo license. She told me that she has some funny stories about the day that she appeared on Miller's show and he wasn't in such a great mood that day.

  • Johnette Napolitano has a kickass voice!!!

  • @Dogger1230 plz come to red rocks, co. Your the best

  • She was at her best here.

  • f'n killer performance!

    god dennis miller sucks.

    Love the Blonde.

    Thx guppy80

  • Even with the marginal sound quality, this gave me goosebumps. God she can belt it out!

  • @bucktrust There's another clip from Austin October 2011. She sings it even better now, if you can imagine that. Perhaps because she understands the reality she sings about even better.

  • Concrete Blondes debut cd is one of the best recordings ever made. Every song's a work of flowing art. What a disappoint their latest show in Vancouver was for the audience, we were all so excited to see them. They booked the show in the heart of skid row, Johnette saw someone shoot up, spent the night yelling at us about it (we should force people at gun point to only shoot up at insite?) & they only played 1 song from their best cd. We were all so looking forward to that show. What a let down.

  • @Dehzee I was at that show and disagree. She and the band put on a good show!. She dedicated a song to that girl earlier in the night. . I feel bad for her and her band, having to watch that as they're getting ready for their show. She got a bit intense on "Tomorrow Wendy' at the very end, that's pretty understandable to me. Performers give alot to their fans, She reacted like that cause she was upset and cares! . I think you'll find alot of people loved that concert

  • @knowthdeal55 Who and what are you responding to?? This is the "Dennis Miller Show." Your comment makes no sense in its current context.

  • @sweetorganic Dehzee made a comment above about a show in Vancouver. I was responding to that.

  • @Dehzee - I wasn't at the Vancouver show but caught them in Austin back in Oct 2011 and they were superb. What is their "best cd" that they only did 1 song from? I was mildly disappointed they didn't do more stuff from their newer cd's (Group Therapy & Mojave) but what they did play was so excellent I ultimately didn't care. The rare non-album track 100 Games of Solitaire was a treat!

  • @zlh67 Their debut cd is an amazing piece of timeless art. It is somehow unassuming and epic at the same time, cheers and enjoy!

  • @zlh67 In case that is not clear, the cd has the same name as the band.

  • Joey ,I am a little confused where is Johnette now ?My friend said she sounded like Cher We are sitting here by me , my friend swears she is not ..ummm..a woman..I don't care love this,and faving it!!

  • @peacewenchlover There is a fairly recent interview with her on youtube. She and the band meet every weekend in LA to rehearse, but she has to drive 2 1/2 hours from her desert home. They travel no more than 1 week a month. And since Cher drives me up the wall, but I love Johnette, the two must not in fact sound very similar at all. As to your other question, does it really matter? I can't see how it possibly would as far as you and I am concerned.

  • Johnette's voice is like no other. Beautiful.

  • I like this version better than the record...commanding presence ,great song and as a singer she continues to blow me away after all these years. Best chick rock singer, maybe of all time...some people like Joplin, I like the sound of Johnette ...she gives me chills whether it's a whisper or lettin' it rip It's always to a really good song too!.

  • We all still remember you Joe F.

  • Lady gaga...eat your heart out!

  • Absolutely stunning!!!!!!! They sound so awesome live! I hope I get to see them perform live again!

  • Comment removed

  • I want this video on my Timeport 280 phone.

  • TOM PETERSON OF "CHEAP TRICK" ON BASS NICE.....

  • What a great song! Johnette kills.

  • Hearing this song takes me right back to 1990 when I was 17. Hard to believe that's over 20 years now...Love this band and Johnette sounds amazing in her live performance as she does in her recorded performance! This band will always be an important part of my youth. <3

  • Remarkable. Some bands and singers are pretty good live. But a tiny minority are excellent. Her voice is incredible live. Her bandmates were pretty good too. (Didn't mess up.) Dennis Miller needs another talk show. He's a conservative now but it would be a good broadening of the genre. Still be entertainment focused but with a slight conservative bent. I'm sure a lot of his liberal friends would stop by and it would make it an interesting discussion.

  • @thanksfernuthin Listen to his radio show. He has everybody on there.

  • great version. thank you for posting.

  • I can't say enough about how Wonderful this Song Is. I Thank You from the bottom of My Heart for posting. :)

  • Is it just me or does she sound EXACTLY like Mickey Thomas of Jefferson Starship and Elvin Bishop?

  • As the late Waylon Jennings so eloquently put it " Ain't no good song ever come out of a glass of tea ".

  • She gives me chills

  • SHEZ GREAT SHE KINDA SOUNDS LIKE JESSE COLTER... SEXXXY SEXXXY LADY WITH THA VOICE JUST MELTS YOUR EMOTIONS.....!

  • holy shit that's awesome!... I freakin' love the Blonde..always have and always will

  • as awesome as walking in hollywood. good god im glad i saw them in fresno for bloodletting.

  • Great performance! Only if people knew what the song was about!!

  • How is this song sad? A drunk passed out on the floor...?

  • @uzi2004 It's not really a sad song. She's telling him that she forgives him, even if he's somewhere out there "passed out on her floor" or in "other" chorus "passed out on the floor".

  • If anyone can do a credible remake of crazy on you by heart, this would be the lady. What a beautiful voice

  • She's up there with

    Luba

    Carol Decker

    Nancy Wilson

    Mette Lindberg

    (quite yummy...)

  • 1 person is passed out on the floor.

  • One of the most intoxicating women ever. Not sure if her voice or just the vibe she puts out gives me more chills.

  • Awesome woman..

  • Thanks Teresa :) -- Personal letter from your heart to mine. XOXO.

  • I swear I'd leave my wife for a date with Johnette.

  • Wow. I'm in love all over again. Great song and classic performance. Johnette!

  • This was before Dennis decided he could make more money as a right wing shithead. Fuck you Dennis. CB, we miss you. :(

  • @mediacritic

    You mean before he dared to speak his mind around his 'open minded' Hollywood liberal friends....

  • @AK49Gunner

    No, I mean exactly what I said.

  • @mediacritic

    Of course, leftist are so accepting of people with different views. lol

  • Best chick singer ever

  • @satanicinternational I can't say she's definitively the best chick singer ever, for me. But I can put her in my top 4 along with Kim Carnes, Stevie Nicks, and Ann Wilson.

  • I just love her. 

  • Simply classic... Princess Of Gothic Rock is Johnette!

  • Wow!

    Great voice, great song! Looks like she's seen this movie.

  • is that Jon Lovitz and Crispin Glover?

  • I worked in a record store in 1990 when this came out. This album got played over and over. It wasn't until recently that I learned that "Joey" was guitarist Marc Moreland of Wall Of Voodoo. He died of liver failure in 2002.

  • @echo962 Moreland was the subject of the song Joey. Napolitano wrote the song about being in love with an alcoholic, confirmed the song was about Moreland in the Concrete Blonde D.C. concert in 2002. Johnette said:

    "I met Marc Moreland in Australia the first time (C.B.) toured. That was the first country we toured outside of America. We were opening for Wall of Voodoo in Australia and we just became tighter than anything in a very short time. There was a lot of mutual worship there."

  • How is it possible that trash like Katy Perry gets more attention than C. B.???????

  • @RussMusiq1 exactly what a joke that Brittany Spears and Katy Perry get more attention to this REAL ROCK GODDESS and TALENT Johnette. It's an injustice.

  • They don't make'em like that anymore............sweeeet

  • @iNickOwens This is a great song! I used to blast it on my headphones at three in the morning, drink wine,

    and rock out.It's great to be alive....

  • I love this woman!

  • Concrete Blonde =  Johnette Napolitano= GREAT !!!!

  • 2 words for this band.....F**king amazing!

  • I gave this five stars only because six wasn't an option. Epic.

  • Johnette looks terrible in this video. She sounds good tho.

  • damn, this woman can sing...

  • She is RocknRoll sexyness,

  • Ditto GhostDistortion

  • Is that Crispin Glover?

  • One question....Who is the lunatic that disliked this? Janet Napolitano maybe? I don't know.

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful song! but what happened to the solo?

  • I am in love with this song and this band!!! Definitely underrated and one of the best true rock groups.

  • Cool! Glad they got another chance to perform live on tv, even if it was this wanker shill's crap show.

  • They are a much tighter band with J on bass,Gabe on drums and Jim doing what he does best.

  • avampireconfesses . com

  • That voice is so powerful she doesn't even NEED vibrato - AWESOME!!

  • Wow!!

  • WOW that was F-ing Amazing : ))

  • Oops. I agree this song was only one the entire pop culture heard on top 40 1 hit wonders. Check Bloodletting 20th anniversary tour

  • I dunno why.... but every time I hear this song, I get goosebumps and cry...

    WTF!!!!... I'm a guy for fuckssake.......

  • @Bartolllo me too bro, kinda my life story years ago.

  • @Bartolllo I share your pain, dude. I get like that just about every time she opens her mouth. She has the most amazing voice in the world.

  • @Bartolllo it's the hotness

  • this is so good, but now, for marketing purps, they would be packaged as a "country group" cuz there is no "rock" anymore, just "country" and Hip hop. weird, i know.

  • i love it,she rules...

  • i like this song it great

  • yep bad ass song

    

  • Comment removed

  • back in 1990, it annoyed me that this was the only song people knew of this incredible band

  • Johnette Napolitano is so much cooler than Janet Napolitano.

  • @itsbudda I concur LOL!

    

  • @itsbudda Love Johnette! Aways have. My 17yr old musician and vocalist daughter heard me heard me playing Mexican Moon in the background during a long distance phone call. She quickly got her hands on a full collection. Very bright kid!......Janet? Poor thing has no common sense and has been so very dangerous to the country. Nice hairdo but I don't like Janet's beard.

  • @itsbudda Probably a better Homeland Security czar too.

  • What a penetrating voice she has. Amazing

  • concrete blonde KICK ASS

  • Right, way too sexy

  • Man you Guys are rit

  • Dennis Miller is an idiot, but Johnette is awesome.

  • Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That's Tom Pederson from Cheap Trick on bass.

  • Love love love it!!!!! All time favorite song!!!!

  • This is one of the greatest bands ever. I LOVE them. And I'm totally straight, but Johnette is incredibly hot.

  • one of my favourite songs of the 90's

    

  • haunting, she is beyond compare ive been lucky enough to have been at after concert party with her,im amazed and taken back by her very being

  • HOLY SHIT!!! That womans voice is INCREDIBLE!!!! Johnette I Love you!!!!

  • the most underated band ever, ever, ever. I could listen to them all day.

  • i think you men chrrssy hines

  • what a GODDESS

  • I'm sorry that I didn't find out about them until this song. I don't know if they're even together anymore. Recollections is the only CD I have from them, it's rare to find one that I can listen to all the way through. I agree, Johnette has one of the very best voices I've ever heard. Her range is seamless and amazing. The whole band is a credit to thier craft. It's nice to see someone take thier music and message seriously.

  • She has a very good, full low range... that's rare. All together a very powerful performance, glad I found out about Concrete Blonde.

  • she is still so damn sexy!

  • Johnette live is AMAZING

  • this song and performance is loaded with a beautiful misery

  • A voice for the ages. I'd really love to hear Stevie Nicks sing this as well. They're similarly mysterious women.

  • awesome

  • REAL VOICE I LOVE HER VOICE IS UNIQUE...THIS SONG MADE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­L!!!

  • The drummer is DIGGIN IT! As well he should be. I had goosebumps in '92 and still have them. Rockin' good version!

  • @bluegrass1101 Are you saying hes diggin it because the song was written about him.I HAVE COOL C.B. HOME VIDEO were johnette basically sais how crazy she is about harry(and i think harry did have some substance abuse problems).Besides maybe layne staley nobody can touch my heart like johnettes voce can.And i also noticed in this video thats the bass player from CHEAP TRICK.The Letterman SOMEDAY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.Ive been listening to alot of Kings X lately what an amazing trio.R.I.P. layne

  • She is the Best...Lady Gaga eat your heart out...She laid the ground work for all of you wanna be s

  • What a great voice!

  • Her voice is so beautiful and unique it should be bottled up an inserted into all future pop stars so they will contribute something awesome other than fake, digitally enhance, and alter voice sound....That we are all sick off....This why artist like Johnette are so precious they defiantly don't come into this world very often.

  • she's got cooler with age!

  • Damn, she looked good with that blondish hair too. Her voice is really good.

  • great song

  • Damn it yes!

  • I felt in love with this group 1 month ago :B and they came to Lima-Peru and i couldnt go to their show o.o Love this song hope they come back to Lima

  • Great song and great show, hope I have chance to watch C. B.'s live show someday.

  • @oldyoungj great show

  • She is good, don't forget Mankey, the guy is aces! I lovge "Scene of A Perfect Crime"

  • There is just something about great female front-woman in bands that awe-strike me, I never see this quality of musicians anymore, which is a shame

  • Powerful voice! I have loved this song since I first heard it.

  • I love this song! So cool to see Tom P. on bass with these guys!

  • thanks for posting! Johnette Napolitano is awesome! The most powerful voice in music. You must see her and Concrete Blonde live (they had a 20 year reuinion tour over the summer) and are playing shows occasionally. They played last week in San Diego. concrete blonde.com
