No Doubt Today Show 1 May (5/1/09) – ‘Don’t Speak’ performance video.
No Doubt are making a comeback and got things going with a bang, on The Today Show. Check out these clips of the group, as fronted by Gwen Stefani, from their 1 May (5/1/09) performances.
My teeth are chattering right now, as I am so excited. I went through a brief pop/ rock phase in my early teens and used to eat, sleep and breath this band. In fact, ‘Tragic Kingdom’ by No Doubt was my first ever album I bought as a kid.
You will understand my surprise then checking out these clips, watching the Today Show videos of them performing ‘Don’t Speak’, ‘It’s My Life’ and ‘Spiderwebs’ over @ YouTube, when I suddenly felt a pang of déjà vu.
I love Stefani and if I were 171 sizes smaller I would conk her over the head and raid her closet in a hot minute. But, why on earth has Gwenny travelled back in time and pulled her 1995 hair and FUGly trousers out of the closet. This bish is fierce, but she could have stepped her fashion game up, rather than dressing like she did over a decade ago. She could also have sang with a bit more heart, but I got nothing but love and cannot be mad at her for being kinda lazy.

No Doubt Today Show 1 May (5/1/09) – ‘It’s My Life’ performance video.
Thank you for posting the vids! I missed them performing this morning b/c I forgot they were going to be on!! I love No Doubt and Gwen is one of my role models. Can’t wait to see them live this summer.
You’re welcome Bleakey
LUV them! I didn’t know you were such a big fan. No Doubt are originals, baby!
I’m a closet fan of a few people, that most would not guess. I used to heart them at their peak!
a lil odd they decided to re-emerge so to speak with two of their slower songs. while all the guys in the band were talented muscians, it was always gwen’s high energy that drove em. “it’s my life” especially was essentially the nail in the coffin of no doubt (a cover they recorded for the greatest hits album to essentially avoid writing a new song) and led to gwen’s solo career.
i just hope this isn’t a charity tour because the other guys are down on their luck and she does feel some sort of loyaty towards em. i guess we’ll see if this album they speak of actually happens…
as for the clothes…gwen was always the sexy girl in the ugly clothing. she always pulled it off. and still did IMO.
offputting was she was in mostly black while everyone else was in white. that never happened back in the day. was kinda like them sayin “here’s our meal ticket…”
ahh well, i hope it works out, i dug em back in the day.
Hey, they played three songs, ‘Spiderwebs’ is linked to in the main post (my layouts do not lend themselves well to posting more than two videos in the main body).
I kind of sense a pity tour too, which breaks my heart. I would love to hear some new music from them but it seems they cannot be bothered. Boo.
almost sad i watched that. she ain’t got it. you can tell she’s winded at the end of the song. it actually starts when she tried the old “i don’t have the voice/energy i used to, you guys sing it” that every band making a comeback uses.
she had to abort when she couldn’t find one person who knew the damn words.
they’re headlining bamboozle fest in jersey. which would have been great to check out if it were a 1 day show, but they spread it to 2 and there’s not enough must-sees on either day to warrant a sick day. ah well.
She’s pushing 40 and probably not entirely committed to the performance. It’s so copied and pasted with so little heart… which broke mine
