I must have watched this video 100 times, or probably one of the numerous others on youtube of this concert. I never noticed her movements with the mic and her movement so john Poole could be seen better. also never noticed the very first view of her removing mud from her heels as she climbed the stage. lol.

[aliased]

She's absolutely nuts!

I, for one, am in love.....

[hatzamalla]

Love this clip. The crowd shots...imagining being there. I also loved how Anita aimed the mic towards the pianist and then moved her mic as not to impede the view of Mr. Poole while trading licks.

Anita O'Day, for my money, was up there with giants like Mel Tormé.

Those late 50's West Coast jazzers are totally 60's lookin ...

Great vid of Anita in top form.

Always good to see. Thanks very much.

I love this video, not only because of the superb music, but also the shots into the audience. It came to my mind that these young people in their 20s were my parents generation. This time is really long gone, but it is good to have a kind of time capsule as Youtube to look back and see how it has been before us.

So fine!! One of the best versions of this song I've ever heard.

I love the sunglasses some of the audience are wearing.

[willslabach]

Hey listen baby, no horse is going to impede those pipes; that timing...Unbelievable!

[NickinDK]

Apparently, she was high on heroin during this performance. Makes it even more amazing.

6:21 is where its at.

The repartee at 7:33... Robert Plant 20 years later. She was way ahead if her time.

Clear color video from 53 years ago. Looking at the handsome sophisticated trendy dressed audience it looks like we are regressing in 2011.

@phillippatterson1

no kidding



[mrclancydog]

Man! She's got talent!! ...and she's working that hat too! Love all the sunglass styles

[surfacie]

Classe, bravura, stile, eleganza, cultra e semplicità, attenzione. E poi nessuno "agita o sventola" accendini o braccia. Bello!
