Amy Winehouse put on an amazing performance last night at Joe's Pub. The #1 artist in the U.K. effortlessly showed the crowd why there was so much buzz around her right now. It's one thing to listen to her on record, but it's a totally different experience to see her work her pipes live. Here are a few notes on the show. Thanks to the Mish list for some of these:
The Dap-Kings were part of her back-up band
She was a little tipsy but in great spirits and made the crowd laugh
Covered most of the songs on Back to Black
Rumored Craigslist tix were going for $200 apiece
She covered a Zutons song and also "That Thing (Doo Wop)" by Lauryn Hill
She professed her love for Nas and then launched into "Me and Mr. Jones"
Jay-Z, Mos Def, Dr. John, Nona Hendryx, Alice Smith, Tamar-Kali and Citizen Cope were reportedly in the building
Check after the jump to see the video of "Back to Black."

I'm officially hating on everyone that got into this show!!!!!
BTW
the fact that she sounds great on digital camera footage makes me want to see her live even more.

I sat down with Amy for an interview today. Girl has a completely debilitating stutter. She was so nervous. Like her face would start twitching and she'd have to put her head in her lap to calm down. Real sweet though. And there's really nothing she won't talk about.
