She did not fly under the radar, The music world new and applauded, it was the music industry that muffled her, because she didn’t fit that top 10 image so if you didn’t know, and you didn’t explore, you just didn’t know, she is in my humble opinion a Legend.
That must be it, she didn't have that packaged "marketing" image. I think her sexual orientation might have something to do with it, considering this was nearly 30 years ago. For me she's the complete musician, writer, singer, instrumentalist, arranged by a passionate perfectionist.
💯 Facts. This woman was so far ahead that I watched a recent video of her talking about the Lps she was buying at a record store, and of course, she is exponentially more brilliant than ever. She's a very rare, gifted, and humble genius soul.
@@timagesAbsolutely, but I don't think she wanted to be around that kind of nothingness. She's even more brilliant today and there's nothing fake or unkind about her.
I saw Meshell and band in Chicago in 97 - one of the best shows I've ever seen. 25 years later and I still think about it. Sooo funky. What an amazing group of talents. Just now found this video and it put a big smile on my heart.
Federico González Peña Incredible talent and the sickest with it. he dj's on his keyboards and is ultra dynamic. David Dyson that bass sounds amazing and punchee. Your playing is colossal. Meshell knows how to pick'm!!!
Damn her band is on point! I miss her funky and smooth stuff of old. Been a fan of hers since Plantation Lullabies but her music had jumped into more obscure (not in top 40 radio rotation) but still respectable music.
perk299 I think she just became frustrated with the color lines in the music industry and, honestly, within her audience... on both sides of the aisle. Expectations from Maverick, from AAA radio, from urban radio - it seems to have zapped some energy from her. Or maybe she just ran out of fux, which can also be a good thing. I have loved all but one of her records (still struggle with “Weather,” which I got to see her support 3x because I always go when it’s feasible), but watching the 90’s performances, it’s sooo different. The ‘Cookie’ tour was fire. Without a big label behind her, bands like this are just too expensive. The new single has an almost spiritual jazz feel to it and M doesn’t sing the lead vocal. Definitely an intriguing new direction.
The last 5 minutes of the song the way has me cruising in a drop top in warm but nice weather while you watch the sun slowly setting as your driving, Her music is great!
For the life of me, I don't know how the hell Meshell flew under my radar in the 90s. I was a huge Irish Jazz Funk fan living in London back then. I only discovered her last year!&@! You are blessed. Love your soul n' funk lady! ❤️ x 🇮🇪
@@LohandfunkTube Yeah man, you're really thumpin' on this one. I just discovered this concert of Meshell and when you took over after the intro I instantly knew it was you (David Dyson) without seeying your face. Your pocket when thumpin is second to none (Marcus comes close though).
On another note (pun intended), I listened to her Plantation Lullabies on a Walkman "back in the day." I'm an "OE", an original enthusiast. Meshelle please, marry me. ❤
que lindo ver que tanta gente disfruta de una de las mujeres mas talentosas y menos reconocida de la musica..haciendo neo soul rock funk pop cubriendo a Nina Simone a Prince a Marvin Gaye tocando con Pat Metheny o Jack de Johnette..compone toca el bajo y canta como una diosa....en tiempos de Beyonce o Nicky Minaj (no se si se escribe asi) es un placer que esta MUJER siga escribiendo grabando y regalandonos su arte..saludos y paz para todos!
Man, Her first album was so good ! And this live version is as good ! The Groove in its essence. Very good performance from all the band. Thanks for posting this !!!
Caught a show during the summer in Philly, small no seats concert on South St. was amazing and maybe best ever live show seen, and I have seen many...Love the band, the smoke show and everything...tremendous
That piano solo was outstanding, which is really saying something because the whole band is incredible. Ive never had the pleasure of attending one of her shows but this is as close as I' ll probably get. Great great show!
I saw this band at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA and the guitar player added his own verse to “Outside Your Door” that is NO WHERE on RUclips or in any official live recording. I wish there were actually releases featuring this particular band of hers doing those extended keyboard solos and jams and sad that she doesn’t release them!!
This level of funk is ridiculous!!! I went to see her and her newer band last year but was highly disappointed. They didn't play any funk at all. Me'shell, please bring the funk back!
@erasmososa6861 Everything was really laid back with hardly any energy at all. It really hurt me because she and Victor Wooten encouraged me to get back into playing bass and i went on to play with a famous old school funk band that I prefer not to call by name..
Funny. 25 years later all the musical equipment used is still up to date. Except maybe the drum miking and the monitoring. (No IEM yet). No Betas. 😄 The guitar sounds are maybe kind of off at times. But that could also happen today with a non caring guitarist. All said, this group was way ahead of their time back in 1997.

There’s nobody that can touch her as an artist in my opinion
Damn her band is on point! I miss her funky and smooth stuff of old. Been a fan of hers since Plantation Lullabies but her music had jumped into more obscure (not in top 40 radio rotation) but still respectable music.
That one of my favorites albums
Ditto. Day one.
Brilliant and beautiful. She deserves an Unsung episode.
While I do appreciate Meshell's recent works I really miss this Meshell. Funking me all up side my head. Sometimes you just got to get FUNKED UP.

Yo Meshell is so Funkyyy💘
This is why you need 2 bass players.
I saw this band at the Iron Horse in Northampton, MA and the guitar player added his own verse to “Outside Your Door” that is NO WHERE on RUclips or in any official live recording. I wish there were actually releases featuring this particular band of hers doing those extended keyboard solos and jams and sad that she doesn’t release them!!
Haven't been there in a LONG time but remember is as a hip, intimate (tiny) venue!
It is on RUclips, I just watched it with the guitar player added verse (live)
It's uploaded by someone named Zsolt
That is next next level going on right there 🔥
This level of funk is ridiculous!!! I went to see her and her newer band last year but was highly disappointed. They didn't play any funk at all. Me'shell, please bring the funk back!
what kinda genres did they play like ? RnB ? more Jazzy stuff ?
@erasmososa6861 Everything was really laid back with hardly any energy at all. It really hurt me because she and Victor Wooten encouraged me to get back into playing bass and i went on to play with a famous old school funk band that I prefer not to call by name..
This whole set was impeccable
My biggest inspiration! ❤️👑
She always delivers the goods
Yeah. Rock it, Lady.
I'm standing and jamming on my Synthesizer with Y'all.
incredible performance! ♥
Awesome upload! Been looking for this. Thank you so much! Spread the word!
