I've been lucky enough to see Rickie Lee twice in Glasgow. She poured everything into those shows. It was a revelation. Thanks for posting this great performance.
Just watched her live 3 days ago in London, UK. Brilliant performance. BRILLIANT. Amazing voice. Union Chapel - sold out. She signed my LP cover after the show. Hard to believe she is 69 now. Looking 60 the most, if not less and sings like 25 !!! :)
Brava, Rickie! You still have it...no, you Are it...that's why you'll always have it and be it! Unlike most artists of your generation, you have a freshness that never grows old...will never grow old. It's an honor to share the same sliver of time with you and get to enjoy your unmatched, ever-revealing talents.
To have someone of the generation subjected to rap, hip hop, techno, edm and most of what else passes for music these days talking about 'freshness' is a joke! 😅
Rickie's Flying Cowboys is a great album. She must be real glad she got to work with the late great Walter Becker. I like the arrangement of this great tune and the Rickee Lee T-Shirts!
It's live...it's raw....you can't expect perfection....it's more about the groove and vibe than the pitch of the vocal...not a great song to cover on a vocal solo, but still a interesting rendition....says a big fan of both RLJ and SD
Everytime I hear this sublime version of The Dan I wish Rickie would cover Knock Three Times in a similar way. I know it seems odd, yet I think it would be wonderful Edit: I was in college when her first album came out, had the pleasure of spinning the entire album on The Midnight Spin- something you can't do anymore - probably why nobody makes great albums anymore - don't have to worry anyone will hear low effort tunes
Rickie Lee Jones has made a career on mind-blowing note-bending vocal performances. Vocals should be not be interpreted by pitch perfection alone. Groovy!
Cool. Saw her just a few days before this at Big Ears in Knoxville. Among my favorites of the festival (Vijay Iyer, Bill Frisell, Tyshawn Sorey, Greg Tardy, et. al.) Rickie Lee Jones was the real surprise. I listened to hear from 1979 until 1983 or so when she fell off my radar and was really pleasantly surprised at how great she is. A real treasure. And she sounded a lot better live in Knoxville.
When you have a band consisting of the highest level of pro cats in New York This is what the result is… they said her up for success, and she delivers the vibe.. good to see her up there with such a good album…
Of her original cover of this song The Washington Post wrote: "the album's most successful track is Jones's sinewy reading of Steely Dan's edgy missive, 'Show Biz Kids', [which] kicks off with just terse triangle and Richard Davis's snaky bass, with Jones tapping into the caustic detachment and cool cynicism the song's writers always intended. (2000). Twenty-three years later, she offers another great version that matches the original.
Rickie and Walter Becker were close. He produced a couple of her albums and wrote some for her too. I'm sure she was acquainted with both Walter and Donald.
@@redvraider5071 Saw Todd Rundgren perform with reconstituted Utopia in concert a few years ago. Rundgren obviously had had a cold, so his vocals were raspy and a bit broken while singing, particularly 'Love is the Answer'. But it was The Wizard, A True Star (and Legend) in the flesh bounding about the stage unspooling his enormously influential composition songbook live in person. Daresay that Rickie Lee Jones emits a similar 'still here and still swinging' grace.
Interesting to see negative comments. She's 69? now. Everybody slows down a bit. The fact that when she came out with the Steely Dan cover, she was smart enough to do it her own way. I heard her early career version of this before I heard Steely Dan's original and I actually prefer her way of doing it. Sacreligious? It's all personal preference. This back up band is excellent. She's still around, doing her thing. That can't be said of many performers her age, and I dare say that most of the people that make negative comments most likely haven't had the career she has had.
seriously??? you're comparing live audio to a smartphone recording?? this will really blow your mind: real live Bar-B-Q ribs are soooo much better than eating a photograph of Bar-B-Q ribs. no. seriously.
".....The haters don't give a f*ck about anyone else...." Please re-educate yourselves about Rickie Lee Jones and then come back and delete your uninformed comments...
Rickie don't lose that number
First thing that came to mind for me as well !
Didn’t think o’ that meself 🤔😐 …so Liked the comment 👍😁😆🤣
Something tells me she did, sadly.
She sure had it here with Dan Hicks, though.
th-cam.com/video/SD9B9aQdowg/w-d-xo.html
Good one 👍
Mike Mainieri doesn't seem to age. Still jamming on the vibraphone at nearly 85 years old. Amazing
He sure is! Nice intro and really doing the lead throughout.
That band is so badass solid 💪🔥💰
Yes indeed.
Fantastic cover! I love the original and I love this. ❤
I was there. Great show! She was fantastic! What a band! Thanks for sharing this!!
She's just great! And what an amazing band, wow!
💯
Rickie-------looking and sounding GOOD.
Love Ricki Lee. Saw her concert years ago. A phenomenal talent!
So happy you see and appreciate her talent. 😍
Damn it’s so good to see you out and about. I’ve missed you.
LOVE this song & love this version!!!
Indeed. She & the band did a great version. 👍🏻
With this song, Steely Dan were prophets. As well as astute social observers. And this is a version of this song that is top top top. Thank you
Glad you enjoy. I agree with you 💯
Probably melodically the simplest song they have ever written.
Rickie is so underrated. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to new music from her.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Who underrates her?
Just curious
Good to see her back in action ,loved that 1st album , I was only 19, wow,
Yes she still has it. ❤
Rickie got a groove and art soul like no one (along with her sides, who are exquisite :) )
What a great tune for Rickie to cover. Love the vibes - whatta band! Listen on good headphones - great audio!
Thanks for listening!
Been loving this woman for over 40 years!
I've been lucky enough to see her. She is a wonderful performer. This is a great performance from a terrific ensemble and an inspired RLJ.

Yes her new album is excellent. Thanks for watching! 😊
Love Ricki Lee Jones!

Couldn't agree more! Glad you got to see her live. ✌🏻😎
Walter Becker produced her Flying Cowboys album.
And his production was brilliant.

What a groove!
Nice! Excellent band! wish I could have been sitting in that club.
Yes. The band was great and the seats could not have been better.
That was cool. 👍👍👋
Thank you for watching!
She is on of my alltime favs since Chucke´s in Love. I watched her two times live she was so amazing
This was my first time seeing her live. 🤩
Outrageous 🙌
Bravo! top flight talent topped by my girl Ms. Jones. Been in her presence three times ; all unique, all memorable!
so chill! still doing it! 👊🏻♥️
👊
Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching.
No words to express how happy this makes :)
I feel this in my soul...
so do I
So do I. 🤩
Bravo Rick!
If you dont "get" Rickie's style & vibe, you wont like this. She has an ecclectic style. Saw her in the 80's - she was pretty incredible.
Indeed. RLJ is a unique artist.
Indeed she does have her very own style. You have to step off the edge with her, if that doesn't sound too pretentious.
I like it a lot.
Rickie and Company for the Win!
great song no matter who sings it
Where can we see more from this performance? Love the Gretsch drums!! Fantastic band, Thanks
Mike Mainieri - vibraphone
Russell Malone - guitar
Mark McLean - drums
Rob Mounsey - piano
David Wong - bass
ALWAYS love Gretsch!
incredible
Rickie's Flying Cowboys is a great album. She must be real glad she got to work with the late great Walter Becker. I like the arrangement of this great tune and the Rickee Lee T-Shirts!
Indeed Flying Cowboys is among her best. Pirates is my favorite.
@@fidelios_frequency No, you like Flying Cowboys better.

Thank you for perfectly capturing the value of RLJ’s rendition.
exactly..as the audience and musicians part of the vives or flying
Play some gigs on the west coast please...😀
Reading her biography..tough life.....as a young hippie.
I am reading now as well. Very good! Thanks for watching. 😊
she said fuck. i love it.
Superb let’s have a full Dan cover album Rickie❤
Everytime I hear this sublime version of The Dan I wish Rickie would cover Knock Three Times in a similar way. I know it seems odd, yet I think it would be wonderful

Omg, yes!!! ❤
No no no they got the Steely Dan t-Shirts!
@@whoiskcwhat but it’s a Rickie Lee singing!!! 🤣
When this track started I thought it was going to be Young Blood. Please with this one too!!!
50 years young and more pertinent than ever. Rickie absolutely channels it too I'm not sure what the US equivalent is but in the UK it's Brexit Kids.
Mike Manieri on vibes? OMG
Rickie Lee Jones has made a career on mind-blowing note-bending vocal performances. Vocals should be not be interpreted by pitch perfection alone. Groovy!
Agreed. I don’t pay attention to the haters.
Hello Mike D on Purcussions!
RIP Walter Becker! The horses!
Her vocal timbre resembles Julie Miller's -- one of those eternal "little girl" altos. Great musicians, of course.
I certainely did not know does live cover versions
Yes her new album is an album of covers of jazz standards.
@@fidelios_frequency And it's very very good. One of her best for sure...

Mike looking so young as always.

@@dancher7640 Mike Mainieri - vibraphone
Russell Malone - guitar

Is she doing covers of classics and jazz standards this time out? Or also refined versions of her own?
The new record is covers of jazz standard and classics.
omg this was epic..bjut then u have to know
EPIC???? This must be a twilight show episode. Horrible vocals.
@@bayouflier6641 Real music from real musicians. Maybe check out BTS.
❤ 👂 🌎
Manieri sounds great. Fortunately, a vibraphone doesn't lose its good tone as it ages. Voices do.
Mike manieri is cosmic in band : steps ahead 1980-1990

Thank you for sharing the article and for watching the video. Glad you enjoyed.
Matches the original....not even close
This is calling out for Marc Ribot on guitar .
Yes. Although existing personnel is getting it done with flair, finesse, and good cheer.
@@PaulLangan1 Oh please.
@@richardthurston2171 Yes, you're right, Thurston, old boy.
yes
No
Gary Busey on percussion!
The mighty Mike Dillon actually, also touring with Les Claypool recently
No, Gary Busey is singing.
@@eldoabrahamson You completely won comment of the year, Eldo!
That line ,show business kids, makin movies of themselves,they don't give a fuck about any body else is so relevant to the times we are living in?
Yes, true.Great songwriting is timeless.
Mike Mainieri (vibes) !!!
Nasty rendition of the great Donald Fagan
Is this one of those "bad means good" jazz things, or are you just super clueless?
I agree mate,the band was great but I don’t think she sounded that good
Rickie and Walter Becker were close. He produced a couple of her albums and wrote some for her too. I'm sure she was acquainted with both Walter and Donald.

@@michaelcaldwell7107 💯 I couldn’t have said it better. Thank you!✌🏻
No doubt she'd cover some Dan...her and Becker were a audio duo...she could be an adjunct member of the Dan
Never heard that before.
Come back to Nashville ❤
Don't know what's the matter with the audio here. Ricki's voice sounded much better at the show.
seriously???
you're comparing live audio to a smartphone recording??
this will really blow your mind: real live Bar-B-Q ribs are soooo much better than eating a photograph of Bar-B-Q ribs. no. seriously.
music wasn't bad

".....The haters don't give a f*ck about anyone else...." Please re-educate yourselves about Rickie Lee Jones and then come back and delete your uninformed comments...
That’s Jones? Hard to believe. I’ve seen her. She didn’t look.Ike that at all.
Age changes people’s looks.
Lost Wages
readidng her auto biograhy....tough life..
And I thought a SD or DOS show was low energy
No Idea Rickie Lee was stacked like that.
Behave! But yes,you may have a point.
Jeeeezuz 😫
Love her, but this is awful. Band is fine. Some songs can't be covered.
e anche tu, un bel tacer non fu mai scritto...
I'm scared to listen. Just read the comments.
If you like Rickie Lee Jones you will enjoy it.
Ouch
The definition of a hipster.
at this stage, hip replacement, too
1/4 step flat... on the vocal.
I gather you are a vocal coach. 🙄 Sometimes perfect pitch isn’t needed to convey the emotion. 😊
Never heard of Rickie I see!
Is anal retentive hyphenated? Rhetorically?
How brave of you. Please provide a link to your work so we can see how it’s done.
Oh it’s that guy
Sorry, but this is just...bad.
Tell us why this cover of "Show Biz Kids" at the esteemed Birdland Jazz club is "Bad" to you?
The band is tight, but her vocals are a little weak.
Just different...
Is it just me, or was that simply terrible.
It’s just you. 😜
@@fidelios_frequency I should have specified, NOT THE MUSIC, but her voice. AAAARGH.
yep. it's you. the monitor is behind Rickie Lee..and this whole experience is beyond you
the sound quality sucks which brings the whole experience down a notch. It's my opinion,,, not concerned whether you like it or not.
@@rodqueen2910 BS. The vocals on this recording are plain horrible.
No lady, they got the Steely Dan t-shirts, not Rickie Lee. Blasphemy!
Right on! If she wants to say Ricky she should sing "Rikki, Don't Lose That Number!"
Is she drunk?
Don’t concern yourself
prohibition is over
I was there. She wasn’t drunk.
Drinking H2O
Are you maybe drunk?
RLJ couldn’t even shine any of those guys shoes.
