@@gordonanderson3111 : I don't think this is Sara's regular band - it seems to be an all-star, specifically female group put together for this occasion only. Alison Miller, for example usually plays pop music with Brandi Carlisle, and jazz with her own and various other projects.
she used to have that and it sucks how much the music industry has changed a lot of singer songwriters like her are under appreciated now these days. i think she was gyped at the 2014 grammys she should have won the grammy for album of the year with The Blessed Unrest that allbum was so incredible
Better, she did not get here by ancestral inheritance, yet by hard work and talent. She does not seek to rule with absolute power, yet to thrill with brilliance.
Wow. A big call I know, but maybe one the greatest live performances of all time and one of the greatest songs ever written. Sara is the bomb ... the whole deal. Very clever lyricist, the voice ... and an absolute sweetheart ... and funny to boot ... and this all female band? WTF ! The mix, the lighting, the whole package ... brilliant. So much talent on this stage. Yours sincerely; An ageing male music lover. Those thumbs down? ... sorry, but you have no idea, and no ear or heart for brilliance. Maybe its guys who don't like, or get the message?
Absolutely incredible how she performs this live flawlessly. The lyrics are amazing too. I agree with someone earlier in this thread, she is probably the greatest living lyricist. All of her songs are of the highest quality.
I got chills listening to this being played live holy shit, Sara you are a goddess and I’ve been listening to your music all day. An inspiration since my high school days and here I am, years later, loving her even more now than back then!
Yeah, this whole performance was somewhat confusing. She bragged about how the recording was SUPER minimalistic. One piano, one drum, one bass, one vocal. No guitar or organ. So she comes out and performs it with organ guitar and TWO drummers?! Also, to the earlier comment: The record wasn't a loop. That was a full performance.
But that's not to say I don't like this better! I thought the production was a little weird. This sounds more full. Check out "How Far We've Come" by Matchbox Twenty. They did the two drummer thing and it worked out pretty well. One drummer did more "percussion" type stuff, while the other focused more on the back beat.
@@EponineReads came to say exactly this, if people saw Faithless live they do all that music live, yes, God Is A DJ and Insomnia with bass, drums and synth and vocals, no loops or samples. Analog sound will always have a special feel.
Her voice is so immense. It's so powerful and emphatic yet at the same time gentle, lyrical and mellifluous. The ladies providing the instrumentals are also splendid. It's so lovely to see an all-girl team no matter how many times before it's been done!
Sara is so so so good ! Yes , all female band . Thank you , keep evolving This Gramma loves it. Wish I could see her in concert I'd bring my Grandchildren
The drummer on the left (our left) is Alison Miller - excellent jazz player and leader of her own bands. And the guitarist is playing a St. Vincent guitar.
Lyrics Let it begin, let Adam in Step one: original sin Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree Then it was over, roads divide Step two: learning how to lie Let me ask a question to present day How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame? All the damn blame To all the dirty looks, the kitty cat calls To the ones who try and throw us up against the back walls Let me tell you something you'll understand Only the little boys tell you they're a big man To all my sisters and all our friends We have to thank them, please Strength means blessed with an enemy All my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Now, hand me my armor (Hand me my armor, hand me my armor) Step three: I see The unforgettable, incredible ones who came before me Brought poetry, brought science Sowed quiet seeds of self-reliance Bloomed in me, so here I am You think I am high and mighty, mister? Wait 'til you meet my little sister All my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Now, hand me my armor What you didn't do to bury me But you didn't know I was a goddamn seed You don't scare me, I am of the earth So tired of your empire Blind men only set the world on fire Sad you can't see it You brought the flame, here comes the phoenix You make me try harder Oh, it's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Hand me my armor All my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me try, try, try, try harder Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you You make me stronger, stronger Hand me my armor Hand me my armor, hand me my armor Hand me my armor, hand me my armor Songwriters: Sara Bareilles
"Only the little boys tell you their a big man..." Yep, that's about right! I really like this song. It kinda reminded me of Florence + the Machine... Amazing lyrics and vocals backed up by a great rhythm and a harmonized chorus to send it home. Good stuff!
The lyrics! I have listened to this song about 11 times now since seeing this recording this morning. "Only the little boys tell you they're a big man" Feeeling it.
Hella dope! Only a weak man would want to weaken a woman. A true warrior king would want his queen to also be a warrior. Then raise their children to be warriors as well. That's what I've been building with my queen for the past 17 years. While this view and vision of being warriors and conquering adversity had to be learned in the fire of life's challenges; when I opened my eyes to what God had been trying to show me, things changed. I am honored to have strong women in my life and blessed to have equally strong men that honor and respect them. I see a rising tide of Warrior Kings and Queens. The old systems and chains that held us back are getting smashed. I will gladly hand my wife and my sisters their armor 💪
Great message! We’re all warriors on the inside, and something as trivial as gender shouldn’t prevent us from letting that come true. I’m grateful Sara is able to portray such a beautiful message with fierce determination, yet without going overboard.
My God,her each song is amazing,lyrics with words so perfectly arranged to depict emotions and convey it to her listeners.. Straight outta heart.. Love her,she's the best,a true artist..
Such a beautiful powerful strong 💪🏾 lady . Her lyrics are so profound just Astonishing . Incredible ❤️. The band is incredible .Ladies are just freaking awesome 👏🏾 Girl power . . Love ❤️ this .This is peace ✌🏽 right here . #Iconic #legendary 💕.
Never heard this band before. This performance was stellar! Gonna listen to more. Great lyrics! Beautiful powerful vocals. The bass line rocks! Put on the armor!
Look at that badass all female band! Go Sara!!!!!
Without a doubt, one of the-if not the-greatest living, working lyricist of our time.
ZombieKilla Underrated. You forgot underrated.
Sara's one of my favorites but I don't think Sondheim's fully retired yet.
Watch Waitress Sara’s Musical. She did an amazing job
She is so underrated indeed. I grew up listening to her and she for me is up there in the legends.
One of, yes, and tragically underrated. But my tip of the hat goes to John Darnielle.
Sara Bareilles - piano + lead vocals + songs
Meg Toohey - guitar + backing vocals
Nadia DiGiallonardo - keyboards + synth + backing vocals
Alex Eckhardt - bass + backing vocals
Alison Miller - left-side drummer
Sarah Tomek - right-side drummer
Baribrotzer yup Meg Toohey. That’s my aunt!
🌟 love and appreciation 🕊
Does this band have a NAME? {Queen is taken}
Can they come to my home.... town...soon?

@@Baribrotzer name idea, just came to me,
The Alt Stars Band
I DO so hope they can do more shows.
First TV appearance of armor and all female band? Yes please ❤️❤️❤️
April Jade Cartagenas I didn’t even realize that and now that you said it I’m screaming because that is just so badass!
too bad they sucked maybe if they had some members of other genders they wouldnt of been utterly forgettable
In what world did they suck lmao
how about you go purchase the album on itunes right now and show us your receipt since you think its so spectacular! @@gabbysullivan4764
fatpatMC already bought it lol. Doubt you could create anything better
Without a doubt, one of the best artists of her generation. Should have WAY more acclaim.
she used to have that and it sucks how much the music industry has changed a lot of singer songwriters like her are under appreciated now these days. i think she was gyped at the 2014 grammys she should have won the grammy for album of the year with The Blessed Unrest that allbum was so incredible
Sara Bareilles is truly a queen
Better, she did not get here by ancestral inheritance, yet by hard work and talent.
She does not seek to rule with absolute power, yet to thrill with brilliance.
That 3:29 mixed belted note with vibrato and vocal Control as well as a balanced bright tone was my entire life in the form of the word “comes”
I dream to see Sara perform live. This is amazing, she is amazing!
Mine, too!
Seeing her live is so much better than you can even imagine
I saw her live twice. I swear I almost cried. She's incredible.
And she's hilarious!
She's even better live than recorded! I used to see her play at Hotel Cafe all the time when she was just starting out in LA.
Thank you Colbert & company for booking Sara to perform this GREAT song on your show!
Wow. A big call I know, but maybe one the greatest live performances of all time and one of the greatest songs ever written. Sara is the bomb ... the whole deal.

Sara Bareilles' voice is absolutely gorgeous. Perfect pitch. She's talented as hell. Love her!
All female band 😍 Sara is a great singer and songwriter!
This is the revolution for women
Absolutely incredible how she performs this live flawlessly. The lyrics are amazing too. I agree with someone earlier in this thread, she is probably the greatest living lyricist. All of her songs are of the highest quality.
I got chills listening to this being played live holy shit, Sara you are a goddess and I’ve been listening to your music all day. An inspiration since my high school days and here I am, years later, loving her even more now than back then!
I’ve loved the song since she released it, and this live performance made it even better!
I had it recorded from the show and played it with my stereo hooked up, it was awesome! Loved the way the bass drove that whole song...
sounds even better than the recorded version
She always sounds better live. I dream about seeing her live someday
I saw her in waitress and she was incredible
She always, always sounds better live.
Reverse auto tune, haha.
right!!??
Simply the best composer, lyricist, singer of this generation, Sara Bareilles, you ARE SIMPLY THE BEST...
when you get to the last round of auditions and both drummers are good and money's not a problem
Or when you want the sound of two drummers not just one. Because a looped track of that one drummer doesn't give you the sound you want.
Because you know the sound you want and John Bonham’s unavailable ✌🏻
Yeah, this whole performance was somewhat confusing. She bragged about how the recording was SUPER minimalistic. One piano, one drum, one bass, one vocal. No guitar or organ. So she comes out and performs it with organ guitar and TWO drummers?!

CHILLS. This whole performance: this band, the song, the strength! SO FREAKING BADASS!!!
Lyrics
Let it begin, let Adam in
Step one: original sin
Underneath the leaves, Adam found Eve
Both of them found something sweet under the apple tree
Then it was over, roads divide
Step two: learning how to lie
Let me ask a question to present day
How the hell did Eve end up with all the damn blame?
All the damn blame
To all the dirty looks, the kitty cat calls
To the ones who try and throw us up against the back walls
Let me tell you something you'll understand
Only the little boys tell you they're a big man
To all my sisters and all our friends
We have to thank them, please
Strength means blessed with an enemy
All my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me try, try, try, try harder
Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do
Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me stronger, stronger
Now, hand me my armor
(Hand me my armor, hand me my armor)
Step three: I see
The unforgettable, incredible ones who came before me
Brought poetry, brought science
Sowed quiet seeds of self-reliance
Bloomed in me, so here I am
You think I am high and mighty, mister?
Wait 'til you meet my little sister
All my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me try, try, try, try harder
Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do
Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me stronger, stronger
Now, hand me my armor
What you didn't do to bury me
But you didn't know I was a goddamn seed
You don't scare me, I am of the earth
So tired of your empire
Blind men only set the world on fire
Sad you can't see it
You brought the flame, here comes the phoenix
You make me try harder
Oh, it's all I ever do, ever do
Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me stronger, stronger
Hand me my armor
All my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me try, try, try, try harder
Oh, that's all I ever do, ever do
Oh, no no, my, my, my, my armor comes from you
You make me stronger, stronger
Hand me my armor
Hand me my armor, hand me my armor
Hand me my armor, hand me my armor
Songwriters: Sara Bareilles
I got lost in her singing, I missed half of the lyrics. Love them!
Thanks!
Bareilles is like the Goddess Athena. Warrior of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Thanks for writing Sara's lyrics out. So important!
She is a very powerful singer. Love her.
The drummer with the pink hair is my spirit animal.
Or Animal, from the Muppets.
She sure looks like she's having a great time.
We needed a new ANTHEM Sara! Thank you! Rockin'!
No one person is allowed this much talent! It's too much! 😍❤️
"Only the little boys tell you their a big man..." Yep, that's about right!
I really like this song. It kinda reminded me of Florence + the Machine... Amazing lyrics and vocals backed up by a great rhythm and a harmonized chorus to send it home. Good stuff!
they're = they are
My aunt plays guitar in this !! 😂
Sara is such an inspiration to us all how we can treat each other better.
I'm gonna say this again like countless times before. WHY DOESNT SHE HAVE A GRAMMY YET???
The lyrics! I have listened to this song about 11 times now since seeing this recording this morning. "Only the little boys tell you they're a big man" Feeeling it.
Obsessed. One of the best lyricists ever
love her!! her songs almost always make me cry!! so beautiful
She's still killing it. An amazing artist.
what a song! incredible
"Only the little boys tell you they're the big man."
Looking at you t'rump! 👀
Pretty sure that's exactly who inspired that line!
I feel like censorship is happening in exponential way in regards to voicing our opinions, raw or not, re Trump. Why's that
This is the artist job to speak truth to power when no one wants to hear it!
Love this message!
I'm so excited to finally see her live this year!!! I'm probably going to cry the whole time lol
Hella dope! Only a weak man would want to weaken a woman.
A true warrior king would want his queen to also be a warrior.
Then raise their children to be warriors as well.
That's what I've been building with my queen for the past 17 years.

I see a rising tide of Warrior Kings and Queens. The old systems and chains that held us back are getting smashed.
I will gladly hand my wife and my sisters their armor 💪
Right on 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great message! We’re all warriors on the inside, and something as trivial as gender shouldn’t prevent us from letting that come true. I’m grateful Sara is able to portray such a beautiful message with fierce determination, yet without going overboard.
😢👏👏👏
Uhhhhh warriors dont use "hella". Its douchy
@@skipwin9895 uhhhh...a warrior says whatever the fuck they want. Seems to me you're just mad because you take so many L's.
Son, you "skip" wins...
So proud of Sarah, she’s amazing! Her lyrics are another level
I admire this woman so much
Whenever I feel weak I go to this song! Thank you Sara!
I love her.
Me toooooo❤️

Flawless as always!!
a song about women's empowerment played by an all female band, love it!!
LOVE these light cues!
These talented women should totally form a band!
Her live songs are 👌
I LOVE THIS SONG!
She could sing a college textbook glossary and she’d sound good. Met her on her Kaleidoscope Heart tour and she seemed about as nice as people get.
Singing like that -- from the piano bench, no less? Simply world class!
She did SO GOOD ❤️ her and her band are so badass.. go Sara 👊 #handmemyarmor
