Amy Winehouse Live in Paradiso, Amsterdam
One of the things that recently came to mind when considering the eventual lash-back surrounding British delight Amy Winehouse was the line “It’s only rock ‘n roll, but I like it.” After all, sure, it’s only post diva sophista-pop, but I like it. Hearing Amy’s throaty muck her way through the crowd banter from this show compared to her elegant, timeless voice is honestly stunning and something that I’m presuming is twice as shocking when hearing it live amidst a sea of fans watching her a half dozen or so cocktails into her set. I remember first watching the video for “Rehab” expecting something far from what I saw, and ultimately being disappointed by it. I wanted nothing more than to hate her story, her songs and her look but ultimately I found myself sympathetic to all of the above.

thanks for this post. I only recently discovered Amy (maybe a couple of months ago – don’t ask me where I’ve been!). I am absolutely digging her voice and the whole thing.
Her music is great to unwind to, but it does make me wanna have a drink or two!
This is wonderful. Thanks!
I dugg it.
Eric – I agree…something about knowing that the singer is drinking that makes you wanna drink
Bryan – thanks for the digg
Thanks for posting this–I wish it wasn’t so warbled, though.
geez man, its way too early in the morning to be greeted with a picture of a tranny like that.
Haha…c’mon now
Wow, even my tattoos look better than that, and they’re presently being removed by a laser. Anyway, I think she could beat Cat Power in a fair fight, and she sounds far better too.
Thanks for this. I’m looking forward to hearing it.
This is awesome. What a great show, and such great recordings. Thanks so much for posting it.
question for you – i was actually reassured by hearing these live tracks? maybe she’s drunk but she still sounds like she’s putting on a great show and knows what’s going on. do you just mean that her regular voice is surprising (drunk or not)? i think she sounds great! thanks for the tracks.
I just mean her regular voice is sultry like a MF
i effing love may winehouse. her voice is like a long hot shower, she is the queen of sultry voices and reminds me of my other favorite singer EVER-the legendary Janis Joplin
hahaha@myself. amy, not may, what a fucking typo, eh?
I love it!!!!Rehab is amazing!!!
REHAB!!!!!!Amy Winehouse…you rock!!!
Fuck lousy comments, i think this is cool, very much different! I bet she could do it better, stronger, but she played on stage with this great voice, hasn;t she!?
Any woman who starts a song with “What kind of fuckery is this?” you’ve gotta respect. Not a pretty lady, but a hell of a voice. The stories you hear about her suggest that she’s one of those incredible talents who will be found dead in a hotel room in a few years, but while her heart’s still pumping she’s putting out great music.
Fuckery great
=D
