February 12, 20214 yr Author I kinda know Kathy Valentine -- she's stoked. I assume the rest of the band is as well. That documentary changed a lot of people's minds about The Go-Go's. Edited February 12, 20214 yr by jimmyjazz

February 25, 20214 yr Metallica with bass. Annoying watermark, but best version of this performance available.
March 14, 20214 yr Last performance by Keith Moon. Edited March 14, 20214 yr by Cajun Best comment on that vid - "Entwistle must be the designated driver"
March 15, 20214 yr Author I have never seen Bowie that gregarious. He was definitely half lit. He was a genetic miracle -- the looks and body of a fashion model, the voice of an angel, the eye for trends few music mavens could match. I don't think he ever broke any ground, he just found the groundbreakers and lifted them up.
March 15, 20214 yr Yeah, he was such a consumate professional that seeing his lead up to the tune was striking. I love it when mega legends like him are genuinely having a good time while performing. A lot of performers fake it and even more don't even try, but you know when it's real b/c it permeates everything - the band, the audience, the visuals, the sound, all of it. It creates a connectedness (is that a word?) that is rare and unmistakable when it engulfs your senses. Tough to describe, but we all know it the second it happens. And, yeah, the gifts the guy had are beyond unfair. He gracefully leveraged his humility to the extent that there seemed to always be another superstar or superstars to-be in his gravitational field, but he never seemed to feel the need to be the center of that solar system. I always thought this video encapsulated it so well. The way he does his bit, very much makes it his in that moment, but then steps back into the shadows with hands clasped behind his back because it's about the music, not him. For me, and I don't think I'm unique, his humility only adds to the mystique --
March 16, 20214 yr Author I'm more impressed with the bass & keys than the guitar. There is some serious deep tone coming out of that bass. Guitarist reminded me of Terry Kath when got really going.

March 17, 20214 yr I'm puttin' this in here because GODDAMNIT, it's Lou FUCKIN' Rawles getting it done at 112 years old!
March 21, 20214 yr Author Holy crap. I will go to my grave asserting that 1. Taylor Hawkins might be the best rock drummer since John Bonham 2. As a rock vocalist, Ann Wilson is likely only eclipsed by Robert Plant and Freddie Mercury. 40+ years on and she can still bring it.

March 22, 20214 yr You know, ole Freddy M over the years has garnered so much attention for that Live Aid performance (not saying it isn't deserved) that I think some others who were on that stage got a little lost in the weeds. Here's one worthy, I believe, of this thread. Shit is good ---

March 23, 20214 yr these are some that i was in attendance for: no video unfortunately but pretty damn good audio considering it is almost 27 years old. this show was fucking nuts quality is not so good but this show is significant to me because the wife went with me (she did not like them but she used to humor me still back then) and she didn't feel good afterwards for a few days. we found out later it was because she was preggo with our oldest boy last time I got to see these guys... one of my favorite bands to see live
March 23, 20214 yr Ed Sheeran- a dude, a guitar, and a loop station. I was actually blown away at this video. So much better than his produced music. David Gray- fantastic singer/songwriter. Edited March 23, 20214 yr by Constant
April 2, 20214 yr This gives me chills everytime I watch/listen to it -- Edited April 2, 20214 yr by Cajun
April 2, 20214 yr I disagree, and I'm a huge fan of Dave Grohl.And you’d be right. But your also wrong lol. Taylor is not the best rock drummer since JHB. That would be one Neil Peart.
April 2, 20214 yr Man I love to see a talented band having a genuinely good time on stage. And, as usual, EVH's guitar work -- Fuuuuuuuuuuck... Edited April 2, 20214 yr by Cajun
May 12, 20214 yr My first concert was Neil Young and Crazy Horse with Sonic Youth/Social Distortion - March 1991 (Ragged Glory tour, The Summit-Houston). I still get chills thinking about those opening distorted notes from this song.
May 12, 20214 yr Weren't those the guys that Bhodi and Johnny Utah kicked the shit out of at the showers?
May 20, 20214 yr Two thoughts on this one: Susanna Hoffs has always had, always will have, it. :woodplow And it's like a bunch of middle school teachers went out for happy hour and picked up some guitars on karaoke night Edited May 20, 20214 yr by HiggyBaby

I know sound men hate the "Let's crank it up, doods!" guitarist, but for whatever reason, Liberty Lunch had some just blazingly loud shows that sounded clear as a bell. Used to love seeing Sixteen Deluxe. Also enjoyed Tripping Daisy and seeing Rev Horton Heat and others at Emos. The Motards were always fun. Good times.

June 19, 20214 yr Author OK, I'm not the biggest fan of Dave Letterman's band, but at times they could set aside their janky schlock and really play, as evidenced here supporting Steve Winwood at the peak of his mid-80's resurgence. Surely the Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Loving'", featuring 18-year old "Stevie" on vocals, lead guitar, organ and piano, and who wrote the song, is a top 10 rock song of all time. Just unreal. Here he is, 20 years later, singing it perfectly.

I'm very partial to DLR Van Halen(the swing left when DLR left) but I bet Eddie was so happy that he had a guy that could sing and basically would let Eddie do his thing without having to figure out what hell his lead singer was gonna do next.
July 14, 20214 yr Adam throwing down a bass line and the Edge on guitar, pianos and backup vocals. Great version of one of my favorite U2 songs.
