One of my favorite songs ever written. I’ve never seen this performance before, but found it the other day when I discovered the Concrete Blonde “Everybody Knows” video.

The audio quality is potato and the video quality is mashed potato, but Johnette’s voice is just unbelievable. My dudes and ladies, that cannot be faked. Fucking hell. I’d forgotten just how absurdly talented she was. She was goth before anyone knew what the hell goth was. That dirty swamp guitar of James Mankey…what a performance.

And Johnette’s growl at the “Ohww you were a vampire….” during the first part of the song….
