Jimi Hendrix: Spanish Castle Magic, Stockholm 69
amazingly clear bw video, with remastered sound - just like it probably sounded then, distortion and all! those were the days, never again to be repeated by any other generation..
Allan Holdsworth: Live at Glasgow Ferry 2008
Song is called "Fred", named for his son.
Amazing and unreal guitarist, originally from The Soft Machine in the 60's - he still has it 40 yrs later.. no one like him ever came out of rock

Ricky Lee Jones: Easy Money
Ricky Lee gives her treatment to Lowell George's (Little Feat) song.. he discovered her and got Warner Brothers to sign her before his death..
Bebo Valdes: Americana
BEBO VALDES, piano, and Javier Colina (on bass)- "Americana", live in Mallorca (03?) - legendary Cuban pianist (father of Chucho) shows why he's considered a master pianist internationally; this improvisation is based on American music, such as Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Willow Weep for Me (Strayhorn?).. incredible REAL music, no namby pamby schlock... for tv, lol.. (this video has the title mislabeled, I saw the concert DVD)

Arlo Guthrie and Pete Seeger: This Land Is Your Land
The three hot backup singers are all Arlo's daughters! This song was recently voted 3rd in a nationwide poll for "which song should be our national anthem", which was won by "God Bless America".. the poll was conducted because many feel that our present anthem is a song that glorifies war

Imogen Heap: Just For Now (Live)
using looping, Imogen layers her vocals live, very creative, similar to Theresa Anderson, though not quite as complex

Bjork: Hidden Place (Live/Royal Opera House)
Bjork live never fails to impress me..
Let's see, this arrangement is for: harp, female chorus, bass, string orchestra, electronic keyboards, scratchin', and a deck of cards.. and of course: lead female singer..
totally hypnotic, every blends perfectly, this is simply a masterpiece of modern pop!
