This performance convinced me that rock truly is NOT dead. That's a kind of charisma the scene's been missing for so many years.

[Rosstacular]

The mixing and audio engineering on all these Jools Holland performances are always miles ahead of anything else.

This is half hilarious, half badass, full on talent assault. Performative and compositionally. Annie’s constant evolution is pretty rad.

I echo everyone else in saying that this is a phenomenal performance.
It's refreshing and frankly inspiring to see an artist so committed to and immersed in her music and performance.
If you love St. Vincent, then you might like PJ Harvey, especially her albums in the 90's: Dry (1992), Rid of Me (1993), 4 Track Demos [Rid of Me Demos] (1993), To Bring You My Love (1995), Dance Hall at Louse Point (1996), Desire (1998).

I’ve followed Annie Clark since she was with the polyphonic spree, This is what a naturally talented artists evolution looks like. So original, a true innovator 👍 long live Annie ❤

Well this is a raw wake up on a Sunday morning

I'm in my 60's, glad to see some ROCK ! Great performance.

St. Vincent's music demands that you take note & listen! Just love the album ALL BORN SCREAMING. Thanks for posting - great live performance.

Best song on the album and one of Annie’s best songs period

[fillipstu]

Incredible performance, in fact one could argue iconic. Annie (St Vincent) is a truly inspriational artist, her commitment and dedication to her music and shape-shifting personas; it has to be revered. She really does encapsulate that 'Bowie-figure' of the 21st Century, yet a master of her craft in her own right. Quite sensational. Also, have to applaud the Jools Holland production team here. That combination of impressive sound mixing, along with excellent directing, makes this one to remember. Certaintly one of the stronger moments, I can recall in the show's history. Congratulations to all involved.

[RyanOuellette]

Saw her in September in a 1000 person standing room venue. One of my top ten live shows of all time. She’s incredible.

Mark Gulliana on drums, massively talented. Not only an awesome jazz drummer but killing it on this rock inspired tune. Great playing on Bowie's final album too, , ,

[bluematell]

St Vincent in touch with her inner pjharvey, Jools is on fire!

[blue]

Love her stage and lighting design .. looks like she took the interpretation of Goya's Black Paintings on everything of the performance.

[jameswarner]

The people on this thread who have called this boring should watch/listen to the current top 20 to reacquaint themselves with what the word really means.
Nice to see Charlotte Kemp Muhl being enigmatic on bass. Annie always gets the coolest people in her band.

[robwalton]

Thanks Jools. I hadn’t come across St Vincent before but it’s badass so I’m in 🔥

[mattknowles]

She’s strange, seductive, provocative, and a very talented artist.

[IMageCrafter]

I could say this is finest pure liquid gold rock 'n roll I've heard in awhile, but this is St. Vincent just being herself and enjoying it.

talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
