March 12 1990. Denver CO I was at your show. One of the best shows I have ever been at. Melissa you and your band put on one the BEST shows I have ever attended, Thank you.
Melissa is electric. One of the greatest performers of the past 30 years. She beat cancer and is more beautiful than ever. Gods bless her and keep her perfect.
I finely was able to see her perform LIVE and stand at stage, so close! ( Just like the 1970's concerts ) September 2022!! Kansas 🌻 Her passionate performance is a Blast! Keep Rocking Melissa! Fun 🎶🎵 🌞 ⭐ ❤️
That one of a kind of love that she describes in this song. The love that haunts you, the love that’s a fight everyday, the kind that just consumes your every being. My mother told me about that kind of love and how dangerous it is to the soul but also how she never felt more alive. Melissa Etheridge just takes you on a journey telling you about that electrifying love. Amazing. Best live performance I have ever seen (even if I didn’t see it live).
I have watched this video about 15 times and I have to say. In my opinion is the best video I have ever seen! By far! I'll probably watch it 115 times more.
I watch this now and then when I want to enjoy great talent, stage presence and interaction between band members. They dressed regular, but sang and performed to a very high level. Thank God for You Tube.
Im 34 years old. I discovered her 10 years ago. And her Aura the musical talent the rough authentic voice and the way she can lead a crowd and really push you and shock you (musically) and then be so gentle and take you from where she left you and then boom again. Love the energy soreounding this woman ❤❤
If you've never seen Melissa Etheridge perform this song live, you're missing something special. She's one of the few artists that I'd rather see in concert than listen to her studio recordings.
💯 saw her live for the first time on 6/14/95 at The Spectrum in Philadelphia.. the whole concert was amazing but the most memorable part was her encore of Like The Way I Do... 10+ minutes of pure heart, soul, and rock 'n' roll
Wanted to reminisce, Just saw her in concert tonight 2024, she's 63 now, none of us are young anymore, but l outstanding Rock star still!!!!❤❤❤❤ awesome !!!! Melissa forever!!!!!!!!
One of the most electrifying, intense, and motivating musician who ever walked among us. Very creative and enthusiastic individual fighting for freedom of love, affection and choice. Long live the amazing Melissa Etheridge. Jim Rodgers
13 minute song and I couldn't turn it off. Completely mesmerized and blown away by this performance. Could be in the running for best live performance ever. Really, it is that good. WoW !!!
How cool I went bk n saw in the video. I'm an 81 baby, I miss those times, would've been such a great vibe how privileged you got to experience that thank you for sharing your memory❤
So beautiful to see her at this particular point in her career - to see someone living out their dream - is magic. So wonderful to see her so young!! I've been in love her since the very beginning and I will always adore her. I listen to her still frequently- some of her songs are staples in my life. I have the ME key symbol tattooed on my left foot. I did see her in Chicago, her "Your Little Secret" Tour. Her music is just part of my life and it always will be. There just are some musicians that affect you deeply and she was really one for me.
THAT is swagger. Melissa's incredible sexiness radiates. It's in the way she plays the *shit out of her guitar, the suspense, the way she cradles it and makes eye contact with her audience. The rasp and POWER of her voice. This entire song is foreplay. It's the smirks, the way she KNOWS what she has and is making us beg for it! I normally hate "jam" songs but I can't get enough of this! She's not wearing anything overt-- but she's so rock n' roll and comfortable wit her own style. I'm going to see her for the second time Sunday, in our home state of Kansas!
So glad I finally got to see her on Monday at Manchester Cathedral...THIS song....its my all time favourite...she is better live than i ever imagined ....AMAZING.
The jam of the century! I've seen her 2x now in past 10 years and she still tore the house down. Even stood right in front of her all night (who could sit) while she ripped her guitar to coincide with her emotional vocals. Small theater, what energy - so grateful for that show ME! Oh that 12 string guitar she plays ... ❤️🕊
I saw her a few days ago and she still rocks even at 57 she put on the greatest show I've seen.. I had goosebumps and got teary eyed more times than I could count
i'm gonna join you...saw her once live as forerunner for bryan adams...she had the audience within a minute heated up...gerat woman, passion and effort
Even today, foreign concerts have so much energy and crowd participation than a concert here in the USA. You can see that Melissa was thrilled with the crowds energy and it enhanced her stage repsence. What a great show that was!
People these days unlearned to just be themselves. Social Media and all the fake scenery photoshop can create tricked them into thinking they’re never good enough, rich enough or beautiful enough.
Saw Melissa a The New Haven Coliseum in New Haven CT. in the early 90s... I Miss Her, That Place and This Era so much !.. Thank You for an unforgettable night Miss Etheridge..
Wow Melissa Etheridge! I don't think I've seen anyone work so hard for a performance in my lifetime as you did in this video!!! Just amazing!!! The people closest to the stage appear to be stunned, because there's no other explanation how anyone could be so close to such a performance without having some kind of reaction! Thank you for sharing this with me 😍❤
I was there, that day. And I clearly remember that, when she was done, all I could do was stare up at the stage and think "What the? Wow!" I think I even got watery eyes, like I still do today. Best performance ever, still.
I listen to this a few times a week. It inspires me to play my 12 string and it allows me to decompress from the days problems, cause every day i deal with some type of turmoil or another. Her level of innocence and experience shows as passion as she plays. I wish I can achieve that level of happiness just once in my life. Just once...
i've seen melissa live many times, even met her once at a horse show (her niece rides) she was unbelievably sweet and kind, and stood for a couple of photos with me...it was my clent's camera, and it was stolen!! :( i was crushed. still kinda am. rock on melissa, you kick ASS!
Many years ago , I use to just like music. Had a few Cd's was about it . Someone had give me one of her Cds . And like over night . I really listen to her Cd and it was like hearing music for the first time . It was great . Her sound was great , I was hearing every note and I felt like she really loves what she does and I could feel it every note . I know this sounds crazy saying this but its like she open my heart to music. Now I have hundreds of music Cd's and I really love music. Thanks Melissa
How much power and energy does she give out on stage. I so wish she comes to Australia. I would be first in line to see her. Real music and real voice. Amazing.
This coming Tuesday I will see the marvelous, authentic and unique Melissa Etheridge in Montréal. Anyone who has known passion in their life cannot be indifferent to this song. She really reaches me deeply! I have seen her at least 6 times on stage and in countless videos of this song but this rendering is the most powerful of this already powerful song.
I love her! ❤️ 40 years of being her fan 2024 going strong 💪
I can feel her power after 34 years, still very impressive. What a great live peformance. Wow !!! Thank you Melissa!
this might be one of the best live performances ever.
Red Rock❤️
oh ja, eine der Besten!!! Gruß aus Berlin/Germany
Has to be . My absolute favorite!
well, no, but she was good here
No auto tune, no back up track, no lip sync, no hint of vocal slip to my ears. Im super impressed. She killed it here.
Also no back up singers
I agree, Melissa kills it at every performance. Today as well. Have you checked out her lockdown sessions? 💗💗💗
9/21/23 @4:43pm!
Real music and a perfect live performance nowadays very rare.
Take THAT SWIFT!
March 12 1990. Denver CO I was at your show. One of the best shows I have ever been at. Melissa you and your band put on one the BEST shows I have ever attended, Thank you.
J'aurais aimé être avec vous.
I remember when this song came out... 32 years later, it still rocks!! Pitty it's rare to see passion like this these days.
Love it!
After all this time I still know every word to this fantastic song.
Proof Genetics RULE, offspring of another great talent
It's not. You're just listening to the wrong music.
Melissa is electric. One of the greatest performers of the past 30 years. She beat cancer and is more beautiful than ever. Gods bless her and keep her perfect.
30 year’s later, and I’m still in love , what a goddess
I'm 50 now is it really that long... i still have that red cassette lol 👍
Yep, saw her at Red Rock Awsome concert!
sie ist einfach großartig!!!!
Me too, saw her this summer and we rocked that stage right down !! 🎸🎤🥁☮️🏳️🌈

Just saw her in Chicago, 2024.
She is still bringing all this beautiful energy to the stage, I’m feeling so grateful I could see her again🔥
Chicago terrible town
I finely was able to see her perform LIVE and stand at stage, so close! ( Just like the 1970's concerts ) September 2022!! Kansas 🌻 Her passionate performance is a Blast! Keep Rocking Melissa! Fun 🎶🎵 🌞 ⭐ ❤️
I always love this song in concert. You just get into it and become one with her and the music. Its otherworldly! Pure Melissa.
That one of a kind of love that she describes in this song. The love that haunts you, the love that’s a fight everyday, the kind that just consumes your every being. My mother told me about that kind of love and how dangerous it is to the soul but also how she never felt more alive.

I have watched this video about 15 times and I have to say. In my opinion is the best video I have ever seen! By far! I'll probably watch it 115 times more.
She is soo vocally talented, it is mesmerizing, then you hear her ability as a musician, way tooo spellbinding to believe, but, she is rockin us!
There is NOONE like Melissa!!!! DAMN!!!!
No lights, No lasers, No special effects, Just a Rock Goddess and her band taking thousands of fans on a journey. Who could ask for more?
No Smartphones!
The satanic illuminati symbol I haven't seen the first time @ 00:03... It's all planned folks... Endtimes are coming....
Ten's of thousands rather. And I was one of them. Best live performance ever, still.
The energy pours out
I can! I have had vip meet and greet tickets since March 2020!! Postponed twice but YES I AM... going to meet her!
Melissa is amazing, she spoils us with her incredible talent!
Top 5 songs of all time. What a powerhouse performance of it, too.
I watch this now and then when I want to enjoy great talent, stage presence and interaction between band members. They dressed regular, but sang and performed to a very high level. Thank God for You Tube.
I really like her aggression of " expression"...its so overwhelming..What a hell of a performer!!!Rock on Melissa..
Im 34 years old. I discovered her 10 years ago. And her Aura the musical talent the rough authentic voice and the way she can lead a crowd and really push you and shock you (musically) and then be so gentle and take you from where she left you and then boom again.

New Zeeland is so cold
One of the best live music vids on RUclips - it rocks big time ! Great drummer too btw.
This is what authentic sounds and looks like!
If you've never seen Melissa Etheridge perform this song live, you're missing something special. She's one of the few artists that I'd rather see in concert than listen to her studio recordings.
she is just brilliant live and the whole band is just rocking to the grove.. this is what a concert is all about
💯 saw her live for the first time on 6/14/95 at The Spectrum in Philadelphia.. the whole concert was amazing but the most memorable part was her encore of Like The Way I Do... 10+ minutes of pure heart, soul, and rock 'n' roll

BRILLIANT! I watch this when I need passion or inspiration. Never lets me down!! I am not a drummer, but the RYTHYM gets me everytime.
I really love this kind of rock music,the melody,the performance,drums,guitar and the voice of Melissa,of course.She is very talented.
One of the best live performances of all time! Great arrangement and passion. Incredible!!!
1000 % pure PASSION, Melissa and her band with an epic performance! Omg I love this kind of musicians!!
This is pure passion. You can feel it.

Breath taking! Can't believe this is almost 25 years ago! Nothing beats her live performance!
1978JBo Don't you love being able to say "back in the day..." Kids now days have no clue.
Seen her…..INCREDIBLE!!!!
13 minute song and I couldn't turn it off. Completely mesmerized and blown away by this performance. Could be in the running for best live performance ever. Really, it is that good. WoW !!!
Millissa seems to sing my life. Long time fan.
Front row, yellow bandanna. That’s me. 👍🏻👍🏻. Great time. Boy does it go by fast.
How cool I went bk n saw in the video. I'm an 81 baby, I miss those times, would've been such a great vibe how privileged you got to experience that thank you for sharing your memory❤
awesome!!!
Wow! So much emotion! Head to toe chills!

She does play the shit out of that guitar. I saw her in concert this year and was blown away
Such a powerful and passionate performance. Amazing woman.
I grew up listening to Melissa. She still gives me goosebumps. This is the definition of a rock goddess. Absolutely brilliant! 💕
So glad I finally got to see her on Monday at Manchester Cathedral...THIS song....its my all time favourite...she is better live than i ever imagined ....AMAZING.
Long before grunge tho just before it too..
The jam of the century! I've seen her 2x now in past 10 years and she still tore the house down.

She's 67 actually. I'm the 50 something and she's got 16 years on me..
She was born May 29, 1961... that makes her currently 58 years old!
@Krystal, I was lucky enough to see her twice last year, where did you see her at?
@@doolittlegeorge She's 59...chuckling
@@doolittlegeorge are you serious.... hahaha
You go girl!
Never get tired of this song no matter how or where she's doing it. Real women have all been there !!
She's got it all...the voice,the talent to captivate US, not just the lover in the song.And her sexuality on stage...👏 👏 👏
Love, love, love Melissa's performance here!!
My absolute favorite performance by her!! What I'd give to be able to see video of the entire concert!!!!
AMAZING!!!! i never ever can get enough of this clip and performance.... ever. here i am back again to enjoy and boogie along :)
i'm gonna join you...saw her once live as forerunner for bryan adams...she had the audience within a minute heated up...gerat woman, passion and effort
Love this performance, she has been my favorite for many years now.
Freakin’ amazing version!! Nobody rocks it like she does!!
So much passion, it's what a lot of today's music is missing!
Damn! Melissa is crushing it with the drummer shit they’re fired up!
This lady knows how to rock the crowd. One of my favorites. The so-called “artist” of today could take lessons from this woman.
So true ... not many ladies leading bands these days ... 80’s and 90’s there was so many
Even today, foreign concerts have so much energy and crowd participation than a concert here in the USA. You can see that Melissa was thrilled with the crowds energy and it enhanced her stage repsence. What a great show that was!
I can't get over this video! I feel like I'm cheating or at least watching lesbian porn 🤔.
@@lynnenewell2016 because she happens to be a lesbian... smh
People these days unlearned to just be themselves. Social Media and all the fake scenery photoshop can create tricked them into thinking they’re never good enough, rich enough or beautiful enough.
21 years later, I'm still listening to it!
Melissa Etheridge a complete and total force of nature!! ROCKER GENIUS!!!!
Kudos to the film crew! Man, some of those close ups snd angles were so good and that shot of Melissa seen through the drum was VERY cool!
Saw Melissa a The New Haven Coliseum in New Haven CT. in the early 90s... I Miss Her, That Place and This Era so much !.. Thank You for an unforgettable night Miss Etheridge..
My favorite video..ME enjoyed this..beautiful and in the moment!!!!
Wow Melissa Etheridge! I don't think I've seen anyone work so hard for a performance in my lifetime as you did in this video!!! Just amazing!!! The people closest to the stage appear to be stunned, because there's no other explanation how anyone could be so close to such a performance without having some kind of reaction! Thank you for sharing this with me 😍❤
Sheila Armell she is that good every time she plays! Saw her in the late 90’s in Jacksonville Florida . She just keeps getting better and better 💚💚💚💚
I was there, that day. And I clearly remember that, when she was done, all I could do was stare up at the stage and think "What the? Wow!" I think I even got watery eyes, like I still do today. Best performance ever, still.
She ROCKS with her musical talent and her raw, strong emotions. Saw her in AZ. She's an awesome performer! Great Video!
She's actually pretty old...taint actin that no, veerily..
She Turns me on
Amazing performance . saw her in London at around this time and was blown away by her talent
I listen to this a few times a week. It inspires me to play my 12 string and it allows me to decompress from the days problems, cause every day i deal with some type of turmoil or another. Her level of innocence and experience shows as passion as she plays. I wish I can achieve that level of happiness just once in my life. Just once...
What a passion, an inspiration to me
i was there, ill never forget
Auberge de Smockelaer Totally envy you.........in my dreams..

i've seen melissa live many times, even met her once at a horse show (her niece rides) she was unbelievably sweet and kind, and stood for a couple of photos with me...it was my clent's camera, and it was stolen!! :( i was crushed. still kinda am. rock on melissa, you kick ASS!
NOW THAT'S PURE UNADULTERATED, PHYSICAL PASSIONATE, VISCERAL DYNAMITE AND THEN SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hell 2 The Fing Yea!
Thanks dear Melissa
I've seen a lot of live performances and this is by far one of the absolute best!!!
This song is one of a kind.. I have never listened to anything similar and this execution is the best ever!
+thewiz80 Simply awesome, right
100 % Agree
