I was there that night, literally right at the front! Was unreal, and a performance I will never forget. It still gives me chills to watch back now. Eminem was in beast mode in the early 2000's and his catapult to stardom was nothing short of epic. The tabloids couldn't get enough of him. You couldn't go five minutes listening to the radio without hit singles like Real Slim Shady, Stan and Forget about Dre being played. This is him in his prime, back in the days when he was hungry...and still mad. And it was awesome to experience and be a fan. I mean Stan. 🙋🏼♂️
@@antonk.5087 This may sound weird, but last year I was twelve. I discovered Eminem thanks to one of my father's friends, which resulted in me liking his music and getting albums.
Em is one of the only rappers I know that when he performs, you can’t hear the studio recorded version in the background, just an instrumental. Raw talent.
There is a backup track for Dido, though. You can hear it come in a fraction of a second before she starts singing, and when she sings in the rest of the song, you can hear she is double tracked
I think he is using just a quiet backing track, not that there's anything wrong with it imo. You can hear it around 2:43 and other parts like 3:33 when he takes the mic away. Also that's what that echo sound his voice has is from. I don't really mind though cause it keeps the song going whenever he needs to take a breath or something, lots of artists do it.
Can't imagine the energy live when the whole crowd is singing the chorus along with Dido. I can feel the electricity just listening and watching the concert.
@Rascal Nikov47 in no way and i mean zero way is Eminem the greatest at anything in rap. He doesn’t have a top 5 album, or a top 5 song. He doesn’t have the most Grammys, he’s not lyrically the best. I don’t know why people think he’s even close to being the greatest rapper
You can tell this song means so much to dido and her fans because EVERYONE in that crowd was singing her part ( probably because not many people can remember every lyric from that song)
@@artistjECS2 wdym if he meant he listened to the music when he was 9, he phrased it badly, if you can understand him ur probably still in middle school
She looked nervous until the crowd cheered as soon as she opened her mouth to sing then she looked like she immediately gained an insane amount of confidence out of nowhere.
Reading this comment, had to double check thinking I had written it. Exactly the same here, moved when I was 16 across the pond, listening to the same.
Gotta love the no-phone audience. Truly amazing, just focused on the performance and the moment, not recording it for social media. Times they are a-changin.
One of the most finely crafted beats/grooves in the history of hip-hop: a deep, compelling, well-articulated bass line, perfect drum sounds, delicate mandolin-like guitar sounds, the sound of rain drops, the sound of a pen scribbling on a piece of paper... This beat is unmatched.

Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that And here's an autograph for your brother I wrote it on a Starter cap I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too? I say that shit just clownin', dawg, come on, how fucked up is you? You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some And what's this shit about us meant to be together? That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other I really think you and your girlfriend need each other Or maybe you just need to treat her better I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan I just don't want you to do some crazy shit I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to Come to think about, his name was, it was you Damn!
The crazy thing is I still remember her solo version of this song and the music video! A few months later Em came out with Stan and I knew I recognized that chorus. Classic‼️
the original is a bit of a softpop snoozer, but it does this brilliant switch between darkness on the verse and sunshine on the chorus. Amazing that Eminem found it and decided to lean into the dark part.
the way music and artists can move you. the way Dido comes on stage, her sparkling eyes looking into the audience and Eminem hugging her. It's a moment that I never want to forget in my life! Every time I see this I get tears of joy! It's precisely because of such great people that I want to be able to travel back in time. I would love to hug both of them and simply say thank you face to face! that is magical
Every time I listen to this song it gets better every time. this song is a inspiration to me because all my favorite rappers have listened to this and when ever i listen to it it makes me feel better when I feel depressed or anxious
@@eateateateateat New hip hop is good too. Kendrick Lamar, Black Thought & Danger Mouse, Ghais Guevara, billy woods, MIKE, Little Simz, JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown, (Kanye West) and many more.But of course there has been more good old hip hop, the reason simply being that there has been more time in which "old" hip hop existed. "New" is always going to be only a certain amount of time before the current time depending on your perception. So this is your answer as to why old hip hop is better: it's not because there isn't good hip hop being brought out at the same rate as there used to be but because new is always going to fade away while old will always stay old.
man, the life was simple in 2000. i love how eminem just introduces Dido as 'girl who's actually from here' and 'Dido, come on out, baby' lmao. Also, the simplicity of Dido's presence is just a delight
Stan is one of best hip hop songs period. Its so deep dealing with obsession and pain, and using said obsession to mute the pain. The message goes so much deeper than a fan to a star.

Eminem was in beast mode in the early 2000's and his catapult to stardom was nothing short of epic. The tabloids couldn't get enough of him. You couldn't go five minutes listening to the radio without hit singles like Real Slim Shady, Stan and Forget about Dre being played.

And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, I just think it's fucked up you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
You didn't have to, but you could've signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother, man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you
For four hours and you just said, "No"
That's pretty shitty, man, you're like his fuckin' idol
He wants to be just like you, man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to
Remember when we met in Denver, you said if I'd write you you would write back
See, I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither
He used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
So when I have a shitty day, I drift away and put 'em on
'Cause I don't really got shit else, so that shit helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo of your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See, everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cause you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous 'cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin' up, you gotta call me, man
I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan
P.S. we should be together too
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window (window)
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Mr. I'm Too Good To Call Or Write My Fans
This will be the last package I ever send your ass
It's been six months and still no word, I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing ninety on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka
You dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
About that guy who could have saved that other guy from drowning
But didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a a show he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late, I'm on a thousand downers now, I'm drowsy
And all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped all of your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats at you and you can't breathe without me
See Slim, shut up bitch, I'm tryna talk
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin' in the trunk
But I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
'Cause if she suffocates, she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this shit out?
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I
Got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window (window)
And I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad
It's not so bad
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother
I wrote it on a Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I must've missed you
Don't think I did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that shit just clownin', dawg, come on, how fucked up is you?
You got some issues, Stan, I think you need some counseling
To help your ass from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this shit about us meant to be together?
That type of shit'll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
Or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin' just fine
If you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was, it was you
Damn!
❤ thank you❤
24 года прошло!Прекрасная песня!До сих пор есть на кассете!
Next Year.. This performance will be a quarter of a century old..
He has a great voice! In recorded or live concert! Very talented!
The crazy thing is I still remember her solo version of this song and the music video! A few months later Em came out with Stan and I knew I recognized that chorus. Classic‼️
the original is a bit of a softpop snoozer, but it does this brilliant switch between darkness on the verse and sunshine on the chorus. Amazing that Eminem found it and decided to lean into the dark part.
Em emotions in third verse is unbelievable. True pain in voice...
Ich liebe diesen Song, ich vermisse die alten Zeiten, mein Herz blutet wenn ich an meine Jugend denke und die heutige sehe. Old school forever!
Da hast du leider zu 100% Recht. So respektlos und ohne Perspektive streben falschen sinnlosen Sachen und werten hinterher
the way music and artists can move you. the way Dido comes on stage, her sparkling eyes looking into the audience and Eminem hugging her. It's a moment that I never want to forget in my life! Every time I see this I get tears of joy! It's precisely because of such great people that I want to be able to travel back in time. I would love to hug both of them and simply say thank you face to face! that is magical
Now this is a wonderful feel good moment. Eminem preforming along side Dido the song Stan. Just magnificent!💯
Low key Eminem voice is so similar when he is live and in the studio
GOAT
No autotune, ever
That's easy to do when your style of singing is talking
@@xarachne8473 he sound like studio on other songs too.
miss those simple times...two people, two mics, sharing so much energy and so many emotions.
What a special time period. The best.
انتي جميلة
Best of all time
A voz dessa mulher é surreal e nostálgica.
Every time I listen to this song it gets better every time. this song is a inspiration to me because all my favorite rappers have listened to this and when ever i listen to it it makes me feel better when I feel depressed or anxious
Esse rap me faz lembrar minha infância sou fã desse kara duas lendas em uma só música 🎶
She's got such an incredible voice. I get a chill down my back each time she sings her chorus. They are both so fond of each other.
Probably the greatest rap song ever. And Dido was feeling it heavy
👍
are there still such artists today that give you such goose bumps?
yep
imagine dragons (funi)
not for me
Nope
How on earth does Eminem remember all of that! Rapped that whole thing from memory!
Beautiful he wrote the lyrics all by himself. 🙌🙌
Hes the GOAT
This much crowd in 2000 for hip hop is just an insane achivement 😲
old hiphop was the greatest
@@eateateateateat New hip hop is good too. Kendrick Lamar, Black Thought & Danger Mouse, Ghais Guevara, billy woods, MIKE, Little Simz, JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown, (Kanye West) and many more.But of course there has been more good old hip hop, the reason simply being that there has been more time in which "old" hip hop existed. "New" is always going to be only a certain amount of time before the current time depending on your perception. So this is your answer as to why old hip hop is better: it's not because there isn't good hip hop being brought out at the same rate as there used to be but because new is always going to fade away while old will always stay old.
man, the life was simple in 2000. i love how eminem just introduces Dido as 'girl who's actually from here' and 'Dido, come on out, baby' lmao. Also, the simplicity of Dido's presence is just a delight
These guys got to experience the greatest duet in history.
This track is still fkn dope after all these years.
Marshal at his peak, his flow is ferocious!
I LOVE YOUR music very much
Stan is one of best hip hop songs period. Its so deep dealing with obsession and pain, and using said obsession to mute the pain. The message goes so much deeper than a fan to a star.
Absolutely brilliant, Eminem and Dido. I miss the old days!
