I Think I'm a Mother
Is This Desire?
I attended this taping. It was such an amazingly intimate performance to see in person. And I'm thrilled to see it preserved here in its entirety.
Amazing to hear, I watched this like I was there, I can't imagine it live!
New Album coming in 2023
Byrne unsurprisingly very good in his job as interviewer - a naturally curious person.
chemistryset1 Agreed. Sessions was a great show. Too bad PBS doesn’t make these past episodes available.

My favorite period too.
Still magistral today.
if you have it, could you please post your the second half of this episode, with Chocolate Genius?
Sorry I only have the PJ portion
The 98 pj harvey/is this desire? period is gold....music wise as well as her looks and style
#Commiseration
Polly's strength is in her weakness. Her image changed.
@@iChoricci Huh?
This is my favorite period of her music. Love it all, but this is mysterious and powerful.
I was in the second row front at this show. I remember some Island Records guy owed me a favor and got me the ticket, and I remember that I couldn't get a +1, which really hurt my best friend, who introduced me to her music. It was amazing.
Did it seems as compelling of a performance back then live in person as it does in watching this performance long after the event?
@@HidingFromFate Yes. It was really great to see it again, and have my memories confirmed!
Thanks, glad to hear that!
I had that same friend. :) I was channel surfing and I saw the intro to this show. I had the presence of mind to throw a VHS tape in a machine and recorded it for him. Have loved watching this ever since then.
her performance of taut was just... i literally have no words. so much raw emotion
I miss W54th. So many great sets captured. And this PJ set is one of the most mind blowing live sets ever. The music is so good and so impeccably performed. I love all the PJ/EDF collaborations, but this first one was magical.
The beautiful, incomparable Polly ...
Easily my favorite performance of hers. We have the privilege of witnessing her flawlessly delivered incantations on the verge of astral projection. Eric Drew Feldman is a legend. John Parish is my guru, and Rob Ellis turns a kit into magic. A perfect moment in time.
She doesn’t get the credit she deserves but I will always love her sound.
Utterly, utterly magnificent.
a favorite period ...
She is so great and I love the questions, I get the sense he really loves what she does.
This is the show that hooked me. Was already a fan but once I saw this I was gone..........
El flequillo más injustificable de la historia, y aún así sería una emperatriz romana. Imposible no enamorarse de ella.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have lost my copy of it. She is a musical genius....
the VHS dub adds another layer of warmth, love it
She's just outstanding live, consistently better than on record.
David Byrne Presents PJ. Much musical genius in one room ! 😎
I know she'll never put out a best of but she should definitely release a b sides box collection
I have a few regrets, not seeing Peter Green live, and this is another. Can I go back and see her this time singing Catherine de Barra?
This video is such a gem. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect performance. She is powerful.
I saw this when it came out and I thought I was so lucky to have been able to see this! Thank you so much for posting this
Pure Magic! Her strongest enchanting period... Thanx :-)
"It's the artist's duty not to know what they're doing". So true, and so funny! And so, "Taut", a song about not knowing what you're doing.
I love the album is this desire
Thank you for sharing this. I wasn't able to attend this concert back in the day. Gorgeous performance as always.
David Byrne looks nervous like he has a bit of a crush?
Total goddess.💜
1998? Polly Jean at her best. Is This Desire? A well under-rated album.
PJ is great! She's wonderful....
Phenomenal performers, miraculous artists!
Beautiful.
I love the matching black telecasters.
Very Creative Work. Excellent Perfomance!!!
An artist how i'm getting into being introduced and interviewed by one of my all time favorites :)
She looks really beautiful here
Canal WeBeartv She always looks beautiful and always will - she exudes beauty from within.
Tout de la dame est absolument la.
Thanks pal for this.
Thankx! Thankx! Excellent Video the best phase of PJ the fringe hair. Tankx!
Absolutely and deeply divine.
🖤🖤🖤Love, Love, Love - my favorite female artist ❤️❤️❤️
ThankYou for posting!
Polly Jean in 1998 > 1995 > 1991/93 > 2001/2004 > rest.
PJ Harvey never fails but i think Let England Shake is her masterpiece.
Brilliant!
I hate doing quiet songs nothin but eggshells to creep on🥶
this song makes me feel like a lullaby
❤❤❤
Catherine and My Favorite Game by the Cardigans have some very similar vocal hooks. Both came out within a couple of weeks of each other in 1998, so they couldn't have borrowed from each other.... So are they both borrowing from someone else? Or did they just right the same melody by some amazing coincidence?
All hail the queen of darkness
I hail Christ alone. She is an excellent musician, nothing more.
Great
IS there a known date for this?
Androzani Critic I believe this was 1998, perhaps 1999.
It says 1998
j adore!!!
говори громче
Maravilhosa! ❤️
does anyone have a track listing?
I've added the setlist to the description above.
Thanks!
Does anyone have time stamps for this?
I have hear quite a few artistic geniuses in my time. This is definately Not one of them...
Name a few.
Bye bye then.
Not to your taste then. What's your point?
Daniel Hartle Douchebag Says What !
Nobody forcing you to watch.
It’s not new style it’s just a great style
