Grace Jones Live with Deee-Lite video - New Years Eve Dressing Room Video

Grace Jones Live at the Palladium on New Years Eve with Deee-Lite. Filmed and edited by Janet Speier and David Wallace Crotty. It was New Years Eve at The Palladium in New York City in 1991 This video clip was taken in the dressing room. Grace Jones' amazing costume was designed by David Spada -who is wearing the polka-dot shirt. Miss Grace Jones, Lady Kier, and DJ Dmitri (of Deee-Lite) ham it up for the cameras before the show while Grace is putting on her make-up. Brilliant dressing room video clip!!!!

Hi TheCopleasr! Then we must have met because I made a bunch of videos for David. I should be posting them soon. One was the Pride Parade in NYC, and another was in San Fran. Then I made another one for the song "I Am The Freedom Maker" Remember that? XO

I can't believe it was 19 years ago! Where did all that time go?

What a fun night and Grace and Lady Kier and Dmitri were very fun to be around. I miss David Spada. He worked with Kieth Haring a lot. This video is one of four I made for him around this time -highlighting his business.

@1tikimug this footage is freakn amazing!!

[1tikimug]

@sophistipunk - it was as much fun to make as it is to watch! Did you watch the other two videos of her performing? The second one, I'm Not Perfect But I'm Perfect For You, has two guys changing her costume during the act. Very cool. Thanks for the comment.

@errborn1, I actually "copied" that line from the 1 and only Ms. Grace Jones herself when she was asked about some of the entertainers out there in "music" today, her reply was that there are too many "copycats". enuff said

@THEMETAPHY

With all due respect to Grace Jones, and in her case her due respect is mad respect, I take issue with Lady Kier being labeled a "copycat" of anyone. Grace may have preceded her, but Kier broke out w/ a style and sound all her and Deee Lite's own.

I'd love to flounce around my local supermarket wearing that ring chain mail outfit :-)

[YellowTexasRose90]

I would have killed to be there , I wish I was born in the late seventies! XO sucks to be born a New Jack Swing Kid! XD

[1JorgeJara]

I wasn't there but I trully believe that anyone that was, and if they're watchin' this right now, they must feel such nostalgia... I bet those were the times...

[radboy2008]

I remember when David shot this! I've still got a copy of this footage that he gave me shortly after it was shot. Great stuff!
