I am working on mine. so much to choose

These are not the best of best of best of, because there is too much.

These are some of the live music moments that I LOVE to relive on YOUTUBE.

TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me (Live on Letterman) https://youtu.be/OvpGufrg_E0
Beastie Boys - Ch-Check it Out (Live on Letterman) https://youtu.be/GZ2ZHkBzmHQ
Ministry - So What? (from Live In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up) https://youtu.be/_TjzdbNwTCY
FEAR - Beef Baloney/New York's Allright (Live on SNL, banned afterwards, never re-aired. young Ian McKaye in crowd slamming. the energy from the punks when FEAR kicks off Let's Have a War just before they are cut off...) https://youtu.be/Frud5RFtTi0
Flicka Da Wrist Girl - https://youtu.be/OjSaQSImx5s
Sonic Youth - Skip Tracer (Live in Germany 1996) https://youtu.be/19aefKYIYXA
Dinosaur Jr - Thumb (Live MTV 1994) https://youtu.be/FGDtxuvfWKA
Butthole Surfers - Blind Eye Sees All (full insanity film) https://youtu.be/BW0mXU2mkgo
Marvin Gaye - USA National Anthem (Live at 1983 NBA All-Star game) https://youtu.be/RZ9WdCunvy8
Itzhak Perlman - Tchaikivsky Violin Concerto in D Major (the word genius is trotted out for so many who do not deserve it, but Mr. Perlman's hands and fingers are GENIUS.) https://youtu.be/CTE08SS8fNk
Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Like a Hurricane (Live) https://youtu.be/vxUMJ3Wy53M

I certainly don't. I don't use youtube like I listen to albums. But if I were to make such a list, it would contain clips from the old Night Music program and similar stuff.

I love that one!

"It's kind of a.. talking blues... if you will"

I would like to see/hear such a list

that Beasties' "Check it" would be on mine !!

That FEAR thing sure was wild...

Here are 10, but I'm afraid I wouldn't stick to the last ones long.

Number One is the King himself, and I can't get enough of it...
Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb0Jmy-JYbA

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on Australian TV show Recovery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViSgLo57680
Jon said the show took place one morning and that they were not too familiar with playing so early when all of a sudden, something happened. The clip contains both moments the band played, early on, and to close the show I presume. During the first part you see Jon somehow uncomfortable, that's the interesting part of it. The second part is the crazy part - from 5'40 to 9'40. Jon said that the TV crew was great as they kept helping him, providing him with mikes and letting him go wild.

It can't be said about the French host on that clip...
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion co-starring Jackie Chan : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA_dSBLp1A8
That was shot the same day, I assume, as their show in Paris that year, a gig I went to, and a great great one it was.

Quieter, now
Sonic Youth – Stones, live in Saint-Brieuc : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIT_-0FUnDI
Saw them 12 times, this performance is my favorite. Musically it was great, and the shooting is quite good.

Dr Feelgood - Roxette : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nyeSGaBcrA

Thee Oh Sees : a chunk of a concert in Paris in 2013 I went to. Warm Soda member crowd surfing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvh_Txnam2U

The Replacements – Alex Chilton on Jimmy Fallon : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYsJafVAok

Adrienne Pauly – J’veux un mec (I want a man) on French TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVtew9qAL-s

David Bowie – Bring Me the Disco King : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlwtCkUnZHU

... 10 is too demanding; I'd put the falling out of a band in New York 1998 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILR5-JK8gvg (either that or Sabrina singing Boys for television, but that would be too much and you'd forget all that's preceded)

I think this is from a documentary called That's the Way It Is, which I caught on TV a few weeks back. Actually I just watched the first half, the backstage stuff. I was struck by how funny and full of life Elvis was. Not a fat sad man on his last leg. Someone was kind enough to edit together some of the funniest parts. He really was an incredibly charming, magnetic man.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy1E98pA6bg

Yep ! His playing with the drummer at around 2 minutes is really funny.

When Elvis died, I was 7 and I have no recollection at all of how his death was dealt with.
As I grew older, I associated Elvis with his movies, which were aired on the Luxemburg television to "celebrate" him every summer. Given that his movies are terrible, I never believed he could have been good at all.
It took viewing him on TV for the 30th birthday of his death to realize how talented and laid-back he was on stage.
It was as if he would miss a beat, as he was smiling and looking at the audience, but he did not, and his voice... what a voice...

this thread was bound to be, from birth, a flunky failure but, you saved it.

nice ones here.

"Wolf like Me" is crazy good!

Built To Spill - Broken Chairs - 3/15/2012 - Stage On Sixth, Austin, TX - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NtOA7ZT5XY

Belew kills it in this. Fucking KILLS it!

Sonic Youth - Live At The Art Rock Festival 2005 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IYAZe5rsRw
I've grown quite fond of this one over the past few years.

Primus - live at Red Rocks Webcast - August 12th 2010 (Full Show) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk4mlxY2row
Solid setlist. Solid quality. Solid watch.

Massive Attack - Antistar (Live - Pinkpop 2003) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GOa4h_qSrM

Ministry - So What - (LIVE) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syetLNIDZUo
Not going to lie, I was quite surprised to see this on another list. Has long, long been a fav of mine. It was uploaded then went missing for a few years before this upload came around. Simply one of the best songs off of one of the best live albums ever put out.

And a few nostalgic "I was there" vids that I am glad exist. Not all best quality by any means, but I love to go back and relive quite often.

Modest Mouse - Live 2002.08.15 - The Diamond Ballroom, Oklahoma City, OK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IkHdKXIY3s

Tool — Live 1996/12/15 [ANA-UG] @ Tulsa, OK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeK_Db5dYGo
First of several Tool shows. Say what you will (and it has for sure, in the other thread), but I have long been a fan. This was a key moment for my life.

Sonic Youth - expressway to yr skull (7/16/09) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mBGfbCn060
I'm Kyle, and this meant the world to me...

Hard to stick to 10, but I will play by the rules.

^^ that Talking Heads concert is tight. the Great Curve is one of my favorite songs. hypnotic.

hey, this thread turned out pretty awesome. don't you think?

Yeah, always loved that song, and the live version really is hypnotic. Great word for it.

And yes, I have enjoyed watching most all the vids posted in this thread, really. Hoping to see some more good ones!

me too.


just one of my faves I had for a long time. Alex Chilton on an early version of 120 mins. he kills the Letter:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=105yeWrjoEc

walking around in a New Orleans cemetery singing songs is my dream. I've watched this a thousand times. love Alex Chilton and Big Star!

A new one has made my list this month.

BABYMETAL Makes Their U.S. Television Debut

...and I am not even kidding. The "intrigue" of the past few years has turned into a total embrace of the odd with the new release. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this historic moment over the past several weeks.

1984 - beastie boys & butthole surfers on the scott & gary tv show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bezWjn1rT1E

Beasties as a punk band. Butthole does their thing.
