A newly uploaded clip of Amy Winehouse Rehab live 2006, recorded for Joe Mace’s British television series The Album Chart Show, has appeared on Winehouse’s official YouTube channel, giving fans another window into the period when Back to Black was remaking popular music around it.
The footage captures Winehouse mid-performance of the song that would become her calling card, a glow in her eye as she delivers the modern-tinted retro soul tune with the assurance of someone who already knows it belongs to her. The clip is raw in the best sense: no production gloss, just the song and the singer.
The Song That Changed Everything: Amy Winehouse Rehab Live 2006 in Context
Written by Winehouse and produced by Mark Ronson, ‘Rehab’ was the record that carried her from cult favourite to genuine global phenomenon. In the United States, it reached the Billboard Hot 100 top ten and collected three Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Back home, it cracked the UK top ten and took the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song, a prize that tends to reward craft over commercial muscle. On both counts, ‘Rehab’ cleaned up.
The Album Chart Show performance sits within a run of archival footage that has been quietly finding its way online. A month before this clip appeared, unearthed TV footage from the Back to Black promotional campaign had surfaced, and shortly before that came Winehouse’s 2007 performance of ‘You Know I’m No Good’ on Friday Night Project, recorded around the time that track was released as the second Back to Black single.
Taken together, these uploads form something close to a document of a particular moment: an artist in the act of becoming, the songs still acquiring the mythology that surrounds them now.
Back to Black at Twenty: What the Anniversary Means
Back to Black reaches its 20th anniversary this autumn. Produced by Ronson and Salaam Remi, with backing from the Dap-Kings, the album has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide and stands as the second best-selling album of the 21st century in the UK. Those are figures that would flatter any catalogue; for a record that trafficked in Sixties girl-group soul and unapologetic emotional directness, they speak to something beyond fashion.
The anniversary will not pass quietly. According to Headliner Magazine, the Amy Winehouse Band will perform Back to Black in full, alongside other Winehouse classics, on a UK tour beginning in October 2026. The run culminates in a homecoming date at London’s Roundhouse on 18 December 2026, a venue whose history with era-defining artists makes it a fitting location for the occasion.
The tour then continues into 2027. Headliner Magazine reports that Scottish dates in Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dunfermline and Dumfries are scheduled for March of that year, extending the celebration well into the new year. In total, Senbla lists more than 50 dates across the full run, a scale that reflects the enduring appetite for this music.
There is something quietly interesting about the timing of these YouTube uploads alongside the tour announcement. The Album Chart Show clip and the other recently surfaced performances function as a kind of informal prologue: a reminder, ahead of the live dates, of what the Amy Winehouse Rehab live 2006 footage captures so plainly. The song was working even then, in the unremarkable setting of a British TV studio, with no distance between the performer and the material she was singing.
Back to Black in full, performed live at the Roundhouse on 18 December 2026, will be the next chapter in that story.
