One of the best performances of this song you'll ever see and hear. Guaranteed.
Thx much for that link.
Aerosmith was better. Your guarantee, is it refundable?

I had a woman I work with tell me a funny story...
She was driving into work one day and stopped at a Starbucks, and as she walked in, there was a huge limo blocking the front door, and she had to walk around, and began bitching to herself about the inconsiderate person who had parked it there.
So, she walks up and stands behind a guy who just gave his order, and the woman behind the counter gives the guy a coffee cup and instructs him to write his name on it, and she rolls her eyes and says to a person standing nearby “Geez...now we have to label our cups ourselves...”
So, while the guy is waiting for his coffee, he is eyeing the glass case with the various pastries in it, and turns to her and pointing at a pastry says “Are these any good?
She is irritated because the guy’s order is taking so long and she has to get to work, but she shrugs and says “I don’t know...never had one.” He looks back, and pointing to another, said “What about these?”
She said politely “They are all probably pretty good.” As he is pointing, she notices this enormous, giant, diamond encrusted gaudy ring he is wearing, something she thought a woman would wear, and he was a small, petite guy, so the effect was odd and she said “Wow. That’s a really nice ring!”
He said “Would you like to try it on?” as he removed it and handed it to her. She was a little nonplussed, but took it and put it on, then held out her hand out to admire it. She handed it back saying “Maybe I’ll get one for myself someday!”
He said “Maybe you will!” as he grabbed his coffee and pastries and walked out.
As the woman stepped up to to place her order, she good-naturedly asked the person behind the counter “Am I going to have to sign my cup too, like that hippie guy?”
The woman behind the counter said “Don’t you know who that was? That was Steven Tyler!”
Heh, she had no idea...:)
Totally agree.
Too lazy to get the link, but her version of Take Me to Church is amazing. PMJ has tons of great takes of popular songs. My youngest son turned me on to them. Great stuff.
She has an incredible voice, perfect for this arrangement. She sings some Beatles covers too with minimal instrumentation that really showcases her voice.
If you’re a PMJ fan, you’ve probably seen some of the other standout performers; I’ve been a big fan of Gunhild Carling before she did the incredible version of “Dancing Queen” with PMJ. In fact she moved her family from Sweden to CA to tour with PMJ, just in time for covid lockdowns.
Famous people could walk past me right and left and I don’t think I would notice but I do think I would notice Steve Tyler, he’s pretty distinctive. :p
Thanks for the story.
Gotta add, she sings the entire Beatles “White Album”. Yep the whole thing, 1 hour 20 minutes worth. Superbly done.
Yes, great voice, but she oversings and overacts it. And then the scream is too smooth / impeccably performed. It is SUPPOSED to sound like raw agony, IMO.
(The amazing thing is that Tyler could still hit that thing [scream] at age 70! Of course, given the heavy drug abuse in earlier years, it’s probably amazing Tyler is still with us at all!!)
Morgan IS nicer to look at, for us guys, anyway. :-)
Granted, my judgement on the music is a matter of taste. But, I wonder what Pat Benatar would have sounded like on “Dream On” when she was in her prime. Hmmm...
Nice story. Thx.
