Come on people...I wanna see some live shit.

Godsmack: Speak

[idgiehkt]

1. Audioslave -- I am the Highway.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13RA016Iwp0

this song deserves lyrics

Pearls and swine bereft of me
Long and weary my road has been
I was lost in the cities
Alone in the hills
No sorrow or pity for leaving I feel


I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky

Friends and liars don't wait for me
I'll get on all by myself
I put millions of miles
Under my heels
And still too close to you
I feel


I am not your rolling wheels
I am the highway
I am not your carpet ride
I am the sky
I am not your blowing wind
I am the lightning
I am not your autumn moon
I am the night

[idgiehkt]

94. Chris Cornell back in the day/ Soundgarden -- Slaves and Bulldozers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeQqYbY3S5c

[idgiehkt]

2. I'm giving you lounge people a concert whether you like it or not

I'm bored, tired, but not sleepy

Ani Difranco -- 32 Flavors
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsP2TheK0iQ

squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said

both my parents taught me about good will
and I have done well by their names
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
is more than I can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so I would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
til I'd passed and left them alone

and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying back

I'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and I would like to state for the record
I did everything that I could do
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
I just don't want to live that way
no, I will never be a saint
but I will always say

squint your eyes and look closer
I'm not between you and your ambition
I am a poster girl with no poster
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
So you might want to turn your head
Cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said

I am just amusing myself and imagining what my imaginary music-loving friends might like to hear(they seem like whatever I like, strange, huh? :shrug: )

[idgiehkt]

12. More Chicks -- Less Teeth, More Tits

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TnOk1d5gSI&mode=related&search=


Less Teeth, More Tits

Miss Demeanor, a miss take a miss hap-oh.
I implore you. It's no miss tery I dont wanna know you
But Miss America I can't ignore you

You can wipe out all our progress with your little cotton ball
Slice and dice your face to perfection
Slip up a word and down you fall

Teeth are capped, lipo-sucked
Hair is set and nose is contoured.
Tummy's tucked and boobs are lifted,
Uncross your legs and your pantyhose shifted

Am I smilin enough? Am I smilin too much?
Am I tucked in and buckled, do my tits touch?
Hi, how are you, how high are you
Less Teeth and More Tits
It's never enough
You'll never be good enough

[idgiehkt]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doWOk-LZo1s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTBigYyucMA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm11JM8nzQw
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqsNR5pI6bw

That Fugazi clip is especially kickass.

[idgiehkt]

18. there you are. it's about time

you showed up on here. Thanks!

I keep trying to make myself go to bed but I don't wanna.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I should take another crack at sleep. I tried a few hours ago and failed miserably, haha.

[idgiehkt]

21. this Joy Division rocks

wow. it's bringing back memories. My senior year of high school I lived in TN and would sit up in my room every night listening to UT-K, the alternative station at University of TN. That's the best radio station I ever listened to. Shucks, I'm all nostalgic now...

[idgiehkt]

22. wow. you didn't lie.

This Fugazi...I'm speechless.

I want to take it to bed with me, lol. Too bad that doesn't come in the form of a person.

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Well, it does, but Ian is married, and I suspect the other guys are as well, haha.

you could always buy the dvd and take that to bed, I suppose. :P

[idgiehkt]

41. LOL

I kind of meant the sound more than the people playing it :)

[electricmonk]

50. Beat me to the Fugazi clip

That was the first one I thought of when I saw the thread.

How about some Minor Threat instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i3V_ysEa-U
And another Fugazi clip. From an anti-Gulf War 1 rally.

[ghostsofgiants]

58. Haha, Ian MacKaye is the man.

Probably my favourite Minor Threat song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3nmHZG-LUo

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. Queen at Live Aid — 'Radio Ga-Ga'

I get chills watching this. Freddie was the master. :cry:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPbSXhbvKfw&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

23. yes he was

this performance is legendary.

RIP Freddie

[speedoo]

69. Great video.

Great song, masterful performance by Freddie and the band, and kudos to the wonderful crowd.

[Skittles]

24. Bowie at Glastonbury

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0faaOYFBMI

[idgiehkt]

44. wow

he's gorgeous in this...there is no one else like Bowie. :hi:

wow. the footage in this is just so cool...

[buddhamama]

26. Bad Brains "I"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VxpVjWLunQ

[idgiehkt]

43. definitely

Thanks Buddhamama

[buddhamama]

27. MC5- Kick Out the Jams (1968)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKV2BrSClYA&mode=related&search=

[bif]

30. MC5=The Best!

Talk about high-energy Rock & Roll!

[buddhamama]

28. Beck - Debra

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KswoL4oAe1A&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

48. awesome

brings to mind Emotional Rescue by the Stones, my favorite Stones song ever (for some reason):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1oaZfL8pKg (not live)

[seemunkee]

29. The KLF w/ Tammy Wynette

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jz2uNCWxQE

[idgiehkt]

49. this is just brilliant

I wonder whose idea it was to combine these sounds...I have always loved this song and have never seen it performed live. The video was really powerful, I remember.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

31. Patti Smith -- Gloria

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jQukughTYQ

& whilst searching for that, I came across her performance of 'Elegie' from a fortnight ago which was the last song ever played at CBGB:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2jhOoJMrZQ

& finally here's The Dresden Dolls with their cover of 'War Pigs':

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXTrEKPz2lg

[idgiehkt]

51. this is so cool

Youtube is awesome, I can't believe that second one is already on there. I sure hope Google doesn't screw it up. Both of those by Smith are great, here she is doing Springsteen's "Because the Night"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPaNdPykpkA&search=Patti%20Smith (Sarah McClaghlan on piano)

nice cover of war pigs, too.

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Shit, how could I not include a Refused clip?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72vEVSt6lpo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3P_vn2jnYQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtnbZJYvfzg

And while I'm on a Dennis Lyxzén kick, some (International) Noise Conspiracy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QEz0mz05JE

[idgiehkt]

53. wow

that guy is hot, looks like a younger version of that guy in Plattoon

well, this is like, unreal. I love it, the "New Noise" one. Wow. Um, powerful. Okay this is definitely my second favorite, next to the Fugazi.

[ghostsofgiants]

56. Haha...Refused is probably the bast band of the late 90s.

"The Shape of Punk to Come" essentially redefined punk when it came out.

And by "that guy" I assume you mean Dennis. He was actually voted sexiest man in Sweden a few years back, haha.

[flvegan]

33. Couple from the Beastie Boys ("Shadrach" and "Sure Shot")

Sure Shot from Saturday Night Live (even the audio is very good):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_lTg56mVL0

Shadrach (live audio, live video action in painting by multiple artists):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPuKrf_aOow

[buddhamama]

34. good stuff ! one more

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIxA4YU29yI

[flvegan]

36. VERY cool. I hadn't seen that one before.

Sweet!

[Rambis]

35. Planxty- Ballad of Little Musgrave (Christy Moore)

[Rambis]

103. I like that

[bridgit]

37. not a problem, hon = Nikka Costa performs "On & On" live...

Nikka Costa performs "On & On" live with Craig Ross (2005) :headbang:

[idgiehkt]

59. Holy Shit. Who is this woman????!!!!

She rocks, lol. I'd never heard her though I recognize the name. Wow. Kind of like Ann Wilson and Janis mixed together, thanks for posting.

[bridgit]

96. Nikka's dad is some kind of record producer guy, but she seems...

to be dealing with it, i like her she's saucy & really good live :hi:

[driver8]

38. Elvis Costello -- Radio Radio

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOuknbvu21Q

[idgiehkt]

60. wow, interesting backstory

from youtube comments:



"Interestingly, the producer of SNL, Lorne Michaels, was so pissed off about this that he screamed in Elvis' face the old, "You'll never work in television again. Your career is finished!", spittle and all."


"The lyrics to "Radio Radio" aren't flattering to radio. The lyrics could be applied not only to radio but to tv as well ; the media. When SNL read the lyrics they probably thought 'this wouldn't be appropriate' (ala the Doors on Ed Sullivan). At first Elvis went along but his heart wouldn't let him continue with "Less Than Zero". Plus no artist likes to be told 'you can't play that because we said so'. When Elvis stopped and switched songs it was like he was saying "fuck you" to censorship."

and this song seems so tame, too. I'd love to have all those SNL performances on DVD, I wonder if they are somewhere...

[speedoo]

70. Well done Elvis!

And Lorne Michaels can go fuck himself. What a pantload SNL has become.

Elvis meanwhile has become an icon. Love the defiance in that performance.

[idgiehkt]

72. I agree.

me too, I didn't quite understand what was going on until I read the youtube comments. He rocks, doesn't he...totally cool. This is why I so seriously hope google doesn't fuck up youtube, it's like a music brain trust,and getting better every single day.

[bridgit]

39. Björk - Hyper-ballad...

Björk - Hyper-ballad :headbang:

[bif]

40. Awesome!

Bjork rules!

[bridgit]

45. straight-up!!

:toast:

[idgiehkt]

42. this is stunning, just stunning

Can you imagine what would have happened to Bjork if she'd been born American and got produced throught the machine over here? They'd have had her sounding (and looking) just like Paris Hilton.

She's so breathtaking.

[bridgit]

46. isn't she a dolly...

:thumbsup: :hi:

[idgiehkt]

57. what she does with her voice

kind of reminds me of Billie Holliday. She's not singing so much as playing.

[cemaphonic]

47. Prince at the 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Reminding everyone that he's a brilliant guitarist (and a total ham)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ND7wSZj-L0

[idgiehkt]

61. I said gotdamn

this is so amazing...thanks for posting it. I've never seen Prince tear it up like that before.
W-O-W.



Nice to see Jeff Lynne in there, I've always thought he has such a beautiful voice, very recognizable...I was a huge ELO fan back in the day

[miss_american_pie]

52. Imogen Heap, Come Here Boy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4ht5T6WK9s

[idgiehkt]

63. she's amazing

I've never heard of her before. Really powerful and the piano is beautiful...I've tried to get into Tori Amos but I can't follow her, she lives on her own planet, I think; I like a few of her songs like "Crucify", "Winter", etc.

[miss_american_pie]

67. Ah, I love Tori

This is my favorite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUD_89HrMpA

Excuse me but can I be you for a while...

68. Cat Power

54. Something you're never, ever seen before

Louisville's own The Touched, from the recent Lebowski Fest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcHY-Ojb8cE&mode=related&search=

[idgiehkt]

64. they have

a really clean sound. Well, they definitely have the licks; wonder how long they've been playing together. I really like it :)

[RedStateShame]

77. About 3 years or so

Here's our MySpace site. Yes, I'm the drummer, as well as a shameless whore.


www.myspace.com/thetouched

[idgiehkt]

85. well, you all rock!

thanks for posting the link.

Hey, I had to kick this thread about 10 times by myself before anyone posted a video, so I know all about whoring, lol

[buddhamama]

62. ok, one more

have fun!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H6XLCT5KfI

[idgiehkt]

65. lol

66. Jonatha Brooke

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oZJU9p6WV0&mode=related&search=Jonatha%20Brooke%20live%20guitar%20singer%20songwriter

[idgiehkt]

71. her purty

really nice sound. Reminds me a little of a singer from my hometown named Christine Kane, but there is none of her on youtube. Here's another artist I like so see at festivals when I can, this was filmed at a private party; with a band she's outstanding. Michelle Mallone from Atlanta:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APMDerKmRWw

[speedoo]

73. The best live band ever, IMO... The Who!!

My Generation at Monterey Pop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0XknwXqLDo

RIP Keith and John... love the way they kept the beat going thru the mayhem!

[idgiehkt]

79. It's so cool that the

character in this song stutters, it kind of gives the song depth it wouldn't have had otherwise. Wonder who came up with the idea for that...Yeah, the Who are like the ultimate band from that time period, their music just never has aged, unlike some like the Doors, that I can't even listen to anymore for some reason.

[speedoo]

74. The Band, Dylan and others, from The Last Waltz.

Quite a lineup here, paying tribute to The Band in their last performance..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLjNjSpZxzg

[idgiehkt]

80. wow, it's like a who's who or something

I love the youtube comments on these things: "Neil Young had to have the coke air brushed out of his nostrils for the movie." LOL

[The empressof all]

75. Leonard Cohen from 1967

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ocq_noEO2uU

Still gives me shivers

[idgiehkt]

83. very nice

that could definitely stand alone on the page.

[speedoo]

76. Cream - Crossroads.

Audio's not great, it goes way back to the 70's, but it's still amazing stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-RvA8EpJAo

[idgiehkt]

84. great song

this is amazing.

funny youtube comment:

"Frankly I think it must have been annoying for Clapton to be trying to play over all that Ginger Baker claptrap."

I like it, myself

[speedoo]

88. Yeh, I thought the "claptrap" was pretty good, also!

It is a great song. One of my top ten.

[speedoo]

78. The King - Don't Be Cruel.

Amazing. I'm straight, but this dude makes me all dreamy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdmNx3_0oEE

[idgiehkt]

86. this is one of my favorite Elvis songs

I agree, Elvis had serious androgyny going on. He has one of the most voluptuous faces for a man. I wonder if anyone has ever mapped his face for that, like to measure it and stuff because the lips/cheeks/brows etc give off some kind of feminine thing for sure.

[speedoo]

89. He shows fabulous boyish charm in that video.

And it's my favorite Elvis tune.

[speedoo]

81. Roy Orbison.

Some stuff from his tribute concert... note the greats backing him up.

(I know the song's overdone, but they really have some fun... Springsteen and Elvis' guitarist trade licks.)

[southpaw]

82. Claudio Sanchez (Coheed and Cambria)

A solo acoustic performance of 'The Light & The Glass'


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OiBek5BDmI

[idgiehkt]

87. that is very powerful

I was pretty transfixed by that, very evocative

[ghostsofgiants]

99. I love that song, one of my favourites on "In Keeping Secrets..."

But that voice should not be coming out of that guy, haha.

[malmapus]

90. Pete Seeger - Bring them Home

Some show before my time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK1g69iHu1Q
