It's not even like she's a person holding a microphone. It's like she's a hurricane and it's just happening and no one was even ready for it. The Wonder Woman of the 90's.
It was not Dave Coulier. Alanis has stated that herself and even a quick Google search will say the same thing. She has never openly stated who the song was about, if anyone, but it's been a well known fact for years that it wasn't Dave.
@@MrDsabourin and you can’t forget Dave Navarro playing guitar. It was an LA writing session. They bring in a bunch of hot shots riders and musicians and pair them up in separate rooms so they come back. They play they have the artist and the artist chooses the songs they wanna do. It’s formula. Dave Navaro and Flea got paired together and jammed until they came up with us song. But flea got re-recorded because he was too sloppy.
I am 51 you just made me realize Alanís is really from my generation I pictured her more of the older millennials one. No wonder I like her music so much.
Mainly the first half of the 90s...then, as has happened with every wave of young artists that arrives in the public eye to bless us all, the corporate control freaks & bean counters began to take over & the entertainment industry extruded boy bands, girl bands & brainless songs...and fans of truly authentic music has to wait for the next wave of free thinkers with ambition & new ideas.
Bands just formed gave it a shot and the cream rose to the top, record companies wont give anyone a chance nowm they just wait for a song to go viral and then try to exploit a band for their 5 mins of fame.
@@pzarelli75It'll be some kind of delays, echo, or other effect. Nothing that automatically corrects frequency. Autotune wasn't invented until the end of the 90s.
I remember when this song came out. I was mostly listening to 90's R&B at the time and I heard this song not sure how I heard it, and I have liked it ever since because it was the most powerfully sung song I have ever heard till this day.
It’s truly amazing how different everything was just a short time ago. I wish we could get back to those days where everything wasn’t so flipped upside and crazy.
I don’t think people understand as a performer, how hard it is to hit every single one of those words without missing a single word! When the breakdown happed, that was really her first breath of air. I’m not saying that she’s not breathing throughout the performance, but when the breakdown hits that’s her first chance to catch her breath. I was in a 90s hip-hop metal band as the lead singer so I can appreciate good talent as good as anyone. As a teenager she was one of my favorite musicians. BTW, at the time I listened to shit like Deftones, Korn and Fear Factory and I was also listening to her album on repeat. She rocks!
Taylor is 23 here. Alanis had just turned 21. It’s been almost two years since we lost Taylor. Alanis turns 50 this summer. Youth, where have you gone?
@@cm9241 No, Dave _thought_ that it was about him, because much of the song lined up with things that happened in their relationship and with their breakup. But Alanis had to assure him that it was about a different boyfriend, not about him.
This Jagged Little Pill album exploded that year. Almost every song was great and there were so many singles. Listening to my discman on the train to school everyday was a treat.
I have seen her perform this song all over TH-cam but this by far is her best performance. Incredible. Can anyone point to another performance that rivals this one. She sounds better live than the actual recorded album
Almost 30 years ago. F*ck! And how many performances have I seen that can compete with the precisely & authentically applied fury in this video? NOT MANY!
Does anyone else miss angry Alanis? I still recall the very first time i heard this song. Local station played it mid afternoon. They didn't even have a radio edit, so they played the album version. Unedited. No beeps, no muted words. It was glorious lol
Alanis Morissette is one of the acts with that 90s authenticity. We were dished up so much real stuff like this that the late 90s had a counter movement of syrupy pop music like Hanson, Britney, the Spice Girls and a bunch of other stuff. The early to mid 90s was great while it lasted!
@@LordBongwaterI just know the one song "Mmm Bop" and to my ears, it's far from kick ass. As for their wider catalogue, I'll have to take your word for it.
@OldAussieAds As far as music now Hanson kicked ass. They aren’t Metallica or sound garden obviously. But for some kids under 18 when they started. They were talented. Also helps my first crush liked them. But as a fan of what I consider good music check out some other Hanson songs and albums. Their lyrics are well written. I’m no super fan but I like them. If mmm bop comes on, I’ll turn it up 😆.
Using this to learn the drum part for cover band/live karaoke stuff. Can't get enough of it. What a hell of a performance from Alanis. Taylor's drumming is perfectly tight as always. Thanks for this one, Letterman!
Great observation. The same can be said of Mozart, Billie Holliday, Miles Davis, Elvis, Jim Morrison, Scott Weiland, and many other impactful musical performing artists...
I couldn't take my eyes off of Alanis the first time I saw the video. She is like a whirlwind! Years later I still feel the same way and I still love Jagged Little Pill. You Oughta Know is one of my ringtones ❤️
This live performance is rougher than the studio cut, which was very sharp-edged. The unmistakable impression is of an extremely pissed off woman, and Alanis' ability to translate that melodically, through thoughtful lyrics, didn't just net her a hit single, but had a transformative effect on popular music. What a masterful presentation!
Damn. Maybe the best live version of this song ever. Alanis came to cook that night! Jagged Little Pill went on to completely change the music industry, allowing so many women to be heard in the music industry in a mostly male dominated business. Music historians still to this day credit Alanis for kicking off the first domino to what is now a heavily female dominated industry today in 2024. Great clip!
It’s funny how there are only a handful of songs in life when you remember the first time you heard them. This is one for me. So powerful and with such emotion. Love seeing this live version when she was still raw. Love Alanis.
Wow, what a performance!!! One of those rare cases where the live version is better than the studio one. Only really good musicians are able to achieve that
Came upon this on happenstance. What a great appearance on the show! They literally couldn't have sounded any better than they did. And I love that she was just like, "They can mute it out if they want to, but I'mma say it regardless.," & dropped the F bomb on national television. She is SUCH a BOSS! There's no one else like her. I was lucky enough to see a show when she was on her Jagged Little Pill tour. I for sure knew that her talent was unique & that she was a huge deal, but at that age (20) I didn't compute that she would end up influencing & have a major impact on the female music industry. I'm seeing her live in July. First time I'll have seen her live since the Jagged Little Pill tour. Can't wait!
There was a reason why the Hawk was picked out. The intensity that he was able to match her vocals. Also, Kudos to the board op for Alanis on this one!
I watched the entire Letterman series for 87 years and this was the best live performance on the show ever. The best song ever on the show was 'Dress Cool' for the Late Night Film Festival.
Hi there! I did lead vox.... i am pretty much retired now. I'm amazed by the nice comments. Thank you! I just about never look at this anymore. We had fun playing together! We all did our best to be as authentic as possible and really appreciate the nice feedback. Cheers!
I watch Austin city limits this past 02/17/24 you could feel the energy in the venue awesome, I today I stay up to watch the rerun at 12 midnight 02/20/24, the best Austin city limits I seen in my life kudos to aptv and Austin city limits, live music is still alive and well
yes it was and i dvrd it... but the best ACL i have ever seen, and i am 70yo and have seen a lot of ACLs, was the first week of Jan 2013 Jack White during the tour to promote his excellent album Blunderbuss...
I watched this live. You knew it was a music changing moment, but I didn't even remember the singer. All I could focus on was the drummer and the bass player. What a hyperactive rhythm section. They instantly elevated the playing field (pun intended)
Absolutely astonishing preformed!!! Great aggressive deliveries right to our faces!! Alanis is a true force of nature! And the band, what a band! ♥️♥️♥️
Alanis, and the whole band, just kicks ! Love this song and the pure energy of it. Wow. I saw her last Friday night in St Paul, and let me tell ya, she’s still got it.
Just stopped in to revisit the original version of this song. My favourite band, The Warning, just played their version Live in Studio on SiriusXM. Great cover and homage.
This, this is when music was special. The fever of the band behind Alanis,....Taylor "fuckin" Hawkins on drums, the whole band behind Alanis is just invested in it, and rocking to the very best...such a damn cool video. Jagged Little Pill was probably my favorite CD of that year,....this will have to be my favorite video.
It's not even like she's a person holding a microphone. It's like she's a hurricane and it's just happening and no one was even ready for it. The Wonder Woman of the 90's.
Amen to that 🙏
You have captured the essence of it.
Wow, that's one hell of a comment. bravo, you nailed it!
I absolutely 💯 love her venomous Attitude ❤
Only performance with more energy I can think of is the great Kevin Malone - Break room Karaoke...
Whoever broke her heart did the world a great service.
😂😊
Uncle Joey full house
Dave Coulier, big ol dorkus
Dave Coulier from full house! 🏠 😂
It was not Dave Coulier.

One of the best female artists of all time. The world loves you.
...wrong...just wrong...
ya, this rocks. epic performance.
Good Christ, she’s terrible. She started her career as a rapper, didn’t work so she changed lanes. 😂😂
Uhh no

the isolated bass track is pretty fun

Bass shines through here - needed to be way up in the studio mix.
No. It’s just a bassline
Alanis was 21 here - amazing performance! I was only a 13 year old girl when her album came out but I felt it HARD.
I am 51 you just made me realize Alanís is really from my generation I pictured her more of the older millennials one. No wonder I like her music so much.
Yoooo i was 13 too and this record was seriously the shit. The 90s were fantastic
Alanis hit like a tornado, and blew the world away. One of Gen X's finest.
Never thought of it like that but well said!
Yeah...the only part I agree with in that statement is that she blows
Bro you’re killing me😂😂😂
Alanis Morrissette is exactly one month and 3 days older than me. One of Gen X's finest indeed!!
Yes momma u rock!
At 53, I have seen a lot come, go and stay around. Allanis's thing in the 90's was straight fire.
ditto

Theres enough energy in this performance to power a city
That lead guitarist going crazy at the end of that song!!! WOW!!!
There is no one today who can perform that way... Alanis is a true artist.
One of the best presentations I have ever seen.
