OT: "LIVE" music videos

I forgot about Woodstock and 'Soul Sacrifice' by Santana! I've probably watched that video at least 20 times. That was the break that made Santana big, from there they just steamrolled through the 70's with their first 3 albums hitting the top 10 and going gold.

Another one I would add to my list of LIVE performances is an Australian band called Midnight Oil. Check out "Beds are burning", and "Put down that weapon", you won't be disappointed.

Slightly OT but I think its a great story. I was at Bar in New Haven the other night and I am hanging out once of the hightops near the bar. I look over next to me and there is this Iphone playing a live Concert on YouTube. Turns out its a Queen Concert at a festival. No one is around the phone but my friend and I so I thought it was pretty peculiar.

I look across the room to the other end where people are playing pool and this oddball guy is wearing bluetooth headphones. Guy is listening to the Queen Concert on his headphones while its video streaming across the room while playing pool. One of the oddest things I've seen in my life.

There's a certain 'age' to all of the other videos that had been shared to that point, merely making an unsafe assumption

I graduated in the late 70s. I can't stand listening to 90% of what was recorded in that decade. Been there, done that, moved on...

Anyway, no idea what your musical tastes are, but if you get a chance to see these guys live, take it. Always a great show, pretty bizarre, musically excellent, hard to categorize. And Slim is just a really nice guy.

I like to hit up YouTube and just search songs or artists a like plus the words "cover song" or simply "Cover". Cool to see what other artists, huge or unknown are doing with these songs.

This is a band out of NYC covering Joe Cocker (basically)

Watch this if you have never seen it. I'd put this in the top 3 all time live performances

Still the greatest front man ever. Foot work that would make Barry Sanders blush.

It's sad you think you have to explain Midnight Oil. They once caused a massive traffic tie up in NYC 20+ years ago, shutting down 6th Ave with an impromptu protest concert in front of Exxon HQ...

Not to be a jerk, but...not everyone on this board knows who Midnight Oil are. I was just pointing out who they were and what live performances of theirs that I liked and thought others might like as well.

As you so wonderfully pointed out; if you knew who they were, then you already knew about their impromptu performance in front of the Exxon HQ bldg. in NYC and the ensuing chaos it caused. What's sad is that you thought you had to explain that, since we already knew. Take care and thank you for your input.

I always liked this very simple solo performance of "Veronica" by Elvis Costello, not great quality visual, but his voice is so good!



(Sorry, I can't figure out how to do the links to video)
 
Since we bumped this thing, I just love this whole hour of video. Audience starts off subdued, maybe somewhat skeptical that the band can pull it off. By the time they get to the Sgt Pepper reprise, then Day In the Life, the audience is convinced they saw something incredible. And then Hey Jude takes it completely over the top. Audience is a bunch of old farts, but this had to be a thrill for them.



Thinking of seeing them myself in April in Munich where they're doing the White Album.

Also currently loving the Courtney Barnett/Kurt Vile Pitchfork vid shot in Malibu, but there's no actual audience, so guess that doesn't count.

I've gone back to this concert so many times, Chicago at Tanglewood. Great band, but so remarkable for the audio quality considering it was 1970.

CTA was a great debut double album. First few records were all that. Then 2 tragedies. Accidental death and Peter Cetera.

How's the weight loss going? Based on your original schedule, figured you'd be down around 210 lbs by now. As you're off to the side, hard to tell how skinny you've gotten, but everyone looks emaciated compared to fat-ass trumpet player.
 
You may or may not have heard of this band. They really never made it down here, but they were iconic up in Canada. Their lead singer (Gord Downie) passed away a couple years ago (brain tumor), national tragedy for them. This is a good example of what they did live.
