I saw Sass in a bar after her album Racine was released. The cover charge was $8 and I've never seen a better show in my life. She never missed a note - rocked the place for 90 minutes. Love you Sass
That sounds great. I played "Racine" for months! I saw Sass once, in NYC performing as Janis Joplin in "Love, Janis". She was absolutely killer! I remember exchanging emails with her at the time via her website. Great show, even greater performer.
Love me some Sass. The woman has a serious set of pipes and can rock the tuck out of a song. It just baffles me how she never got big in the music scene outside of Canada but other far less talented musicians did? I don't understand that one. I've seen Sass live dozens of times and never saw a bad show. My favorite place to see her live was at Lulus Roadhouse in Kitchener Ontario
Lulus was one of our favorite places to play,i remember one time we played early on a multi band show at canada's wonderland and then we jumped in the vehicles and headed to lulus to a sold out show that nite !!! oh,i was her bodyguard back in the early days up until like md -late 90's !!!
One of the best live performances of this classic timeless rock and roll anthem by Queen Sass Jordan! Love her look and hair here in the 1990’s. What a natural stunning beauty she is and what powerful pipes. ❤ ♥️ 😍🥰😘🤩 🌟 ✨ 🎙️ 🎤 🎵 🎶 🎸 🥁
I traveled 3 hours from Cleveland to see Sass perform in Hamilton Ontario once, and I can only wonder how how big a star she might have become if her record company had promoted Rats or Racine in the manner they deserved. She reminds me so much of Janis Joplin, and they emotion she puts into that song you know that the lyrics are very personal. Merry Christmas Sass.
I saw Sass (and her smokin' band) at the Cat Club in NYC ('94). She tore the roof off the place! Sass has immense talent that cannot be denied: amazing voice. Sexy as hell. Killer songs. C Charismatic front person. Why she's not a household word will forever be the worlds greatest mystery! "Rats" hit the scene in '94, a year after "grunge" exploded. Can you imagine the pressure she must have been under? Fortunately, "High Road Easy" got regular air play in the states (at least for awhile). She didn't sound like anyone else (not a good thing in the music industry!), so her record company pulled the plug. The say timing is everything? For all the real music fans around the world, Sass Jordan is awesome, and the best kept secret! Rock on Sass----and do it like only you can!
YES!! That is Brian Tichy on drums!! He is now with Foreigner and plays skins for Billy Idol!! SASS sounded awesome during these years. I am so sad that the masses missed her. She has major pipes!! GREAT ROCK SINGER!!!
Thanks a lot for sharing this! Wow! This performance of Sass is absolutely amazing. She crushed it and to see her at this stage of career was a treat. Woman has pipes like no other!
Bloody brilliant. One of the best live performances I have ever heard. I'd love to see the rest of the performance. I used to have it on a VHS tape, but it got destroyed.
I've never heard such a visceral song about living with someone who's an addict. Some years ago my family life was torn apart living with an alcoholic... and I totally connect with the feeling Sass expresses in the lyric, "It's pissin' down, it's pissin' down again". The incredulity you feel when you put yourself through the mill yet again, believing that somehow this time should have been different.
Wow! Wow! Wow!! What a privilege it was to be introduced to this powerhouse voice many years ago when she was touring RATS! I am a forever fan. To say she rocked the house would be an understatement. She played in her comfortable clothes, no shoes and left all of herself on the stage that night in 1994. Incredible!
I’ve been lucky to see Sass live quite a few times. What an amazing singer. She deserves more accolades than she’s gotten. By the way, does anyone have the whole video of this appearance on Much Music? I used to have it recorded on VHS, but it was damaged
This is awesome! I never got to see her play with Stevie Salas. Is there anymore footage from this show? Sass is is undoubtably one of the best ever!!!!! Thanks for sharing
@wnyred she was just here last weekend, playing the seneca niagara casino and owning the place as if it were a much bigger venue. hope you were able to make it.
Wow! Thank you so much for posting this! Is there a chance that you could post my favourite song from this show? I would love to see "So Hard" again!! :-)
I wouldn't say she is better than Melissa Etheredge just different. They did get popular around the same time, then you didn't hear about Sass J. after Racine was released in the states I think she is great.
Sass kicks serious ass. Other Canadians that kicked ass before her...Alannah Myles, Darby Mills, Holly Woods, Carol Pope, Lisa Dalbello, Lee Aaron, Molly Johnson (Infidels and Alta Moda and Tom Cochrane and Red Rider).
Stevie produced Rats and co-wrote all the songs. Believe that would be Brian Tichy on drums also. If I remember, most of the guys in Stevie Salas Color Code played on Rats. Largely why it's a bit bluesier and stompier than Racine was, the album just before Rats. George Clinton made an appearance on it, too.
@@toddvandell85 I've seen a few vids of early Sass and always , man the drummer really looks like Brian. Glad you confirmed. Wow, Sass had some band to go with amazing voice and soul.
Love Sass Jordan! She's my favourite female Canadian vocalist and love this live version of "Pissin' Down" ~ what a powerhouse! Her voice is a fusion of Janis Joplin/Tina Turner/Melissa Etheridge. It amazes me that she never reached success in the USA
Best live performance she ever did. Absolutely untouchable pipes.
Sass kicks ass... many have copied or tried to copy that beautiful throaty, husky tone... but there's only one Sass Jordon and she's great!!!
She sure does Lorne Cooper ~ ♥ her :-) !!!

Lulus Awesome place.. Sorry it closed.. Sass Rocks it.
Still. Hell Ya

Lulus KICKED ASS. SO many great nights i spent there. SO many great bands.SO sad to see it go.

One of the most raw powerful performances I'm all of tock history.
One of the best and overlooked singers EVER! I get chills down my spine listening to her…
I traveled 3 hours from Cleveland to see Sass perform in Hamilton Ontario once, and I can only wonder how how big a star she might have become if her record company had promoted Rats or Racine in the manner they deserved.

Sass at her best. Gotta see her live, she's the best Canadian female singer ever born!!!!!!!
Excellent issue of a strong song. I like it better than the official
video.
it still shocks me that Sass isn't a household name...
Is in mine!
She is in mine.
Too cool for yew no hew, they need to raise up their demonic hoardes now. Yew no hew.
absolutely awesome performance!
Uhg so freakin' perfect
YES!! That is Brian Tichy on drums!! He is now with Foreigner and plays skins for Billy Idol!! SASS sounded awesome during these years. I am so sad that the masses missed her. She has major pipes!! GREAT ROCK SINGER!!!
One of the greatest live ever

Her albums have been my anthem the many places I have lived and I would never miss an opportunity to see her.
I have never heard of Sass Jordon until coming across this video. Thank God I did. What a powerhouse. Love it. Thanks for posting.
Best female rock singer in 40 years !
Bloody brilliant. One of the best live performances I have ever heard.
I'd love to see the rest of the performance. I used to have it on a VHS tape, but it got destroyed.
THE BEST female rock singer ...period!
This song is absolutely incredible. Seriously heavy and just down to earth.
Love her!!! Her songs and voice are great!!
The best female singer, EVER....She should have been more popular for sure.
I've never heard such a visceral song about living with someone who's an addict.

Early Sass. Magnificent. She took up where Roddy Stewart left off.
Love you Sass! Great song!
This woman is no joke...We love you Sass!

One of my top 5 favorite songs
Amazing song and superb performance!
her voice still gives me goose bumps after 18 years
Goose bumps and tears for me.
Saw Sass in outdoor concert at South Street Seaport, NYC, many years ago! Incredible!
Sass. What a live performance.
It’s such a shame she didn’t become more popular in the states. I love her voice.
that is badass!!..im glad i found this today....
powerful tune.
Coolest female rocker out there...and so few ever heard of her...Her newer stuff (S.U.N.) just as good too!
Fan-freaken-tastic.So glad I found Sass again.
Love Stevie Salas... great performance by Sass and Stevie !
Morning sarks... urggg it's pissin down, I'm not sure if I'm going anywhere in that today.🌧🌧🌧
i said God Damn!
Man this girl can sing a story. She was way overlooked here in the States.
shit yeah! i had this on video when it played on much music. great to see it again - what a killer voice!!
Oh yeah, gotta love this one. Great post!
I’ve been lucky to see Sass live quite a few times. What an amazing singer. She deserves more accolades than she’s gotten.
By the way, does anyone have the whole video of this appearance on Much Music? I used to have it recorded on VHS, but it was damaged
wow, id like to see that video, grew up in gta, was affordable at one time in that time, seen her a few times
loved her since i first heard this album
This is awesome! I never got to see her play with Stevie Salas. Is there anymore footage from this show? Sass is is undoubtably one of the best ever!!!!! Thanks for sharing
@wnyred she was just here last weekend, playing the seneca niagara casino and owning the place as if it were a much bigger venue. hope you were able to make it.
Wonderfully talented. Very underrated.
Stevie and Sass.... Dream team ;-)
AWESOME!
Tichy on drums!!!
Great song her and Stevie are so good together
Wow!
Thank you so much for posting this! Is there a chance that you could post my favourite song from this show?
I would love to see "So Hard" again!! :-)
Witch from heavenly hell-damm, she's so good!!!
UPDATE!! Brian Tichy is now going to be the touring drummer for Lynch Mob!!
Perfection served extremely hawt!
unfuckinreal!!!
My gosh I love this woman ....❤😢 But it was herion
Her voice is so much better that Melissa Etheredge's [sic?]
I wouldn't say she is better than Melissa Etheredge just different. They did get popular around the same time, then you didn't hear about Sass J. after Racine was released in the states I think she is great.
@atmac17 She's been Canadianized now! :D
Sass kicks serious ass. Other Canadians that kicked ass before her...Alannah Myles, Darby Mills, Holly Woods, Carol Pope, Lisa Dalbello, Lee Aaron, Molly Johnson (Infidels and Alta Moda and Tom Cochrane and Red Rider).
Ahh.... Rush and Triumph?
powerful. Might be better than the studio version?
Rats is still one of the grittiest damn things ever recorded.
Sass is truly amazing! It's nice to have raw talent in my backyard!
Ps. Rock history....
😃🎼👍🎸
Is that Stevie Salas on guitar?
yep... wonder how they met?
Good eye. It definitely is.
Stevie produced Rats and co-wrote all the songs.
Believe that would be Brian Tichy on drums also.
If I remember, most of the guys in Stevie Salas Color Code played on Rats.
Largely why it's a bit bluesier and stompier than Racine was, the album just before Rats.
George Clinton made an appearance on it, too.
@@toddvandell85 There is a serious depth of talent on that stage. That band is tight.
