OT: Great performances

[auroraave]

I've been wanting to drop a random performances thread for music junkies, so here we go.

1974 - Eagles, Already Gone. I was never a big Eagles fan, but have a lot of respect for 'em, mostly because I live in So Cal and they're in my DNA by association. Just setting the stage - this ain't about being a big Eagles fan.

Don Felder absolutely owns this song on so many levels. If this was a baseball he hits the f*cking cover off of the ball with this scorching performance.
The beauty is in listening to the limitations of the vocals - which is not a knock, they didn't need to be, and then watching Felder absolutely blow the doors off the song, and blowing the rest of the band away - is a breathtaking performance.

Limited attention spanners: go to 2:00, then to 3:30. The guitar work is off the charts. I dare you to watch the second solo only once. Absolutely epic. And this is from a marginal, if not begrudging Eagles fan. Too often they would trend to country, which I so not like, but Felder walks an incredible line here between rock and country. Truly an incredible performance.

Gentlemen - thoughts?

Heart in the mid-70's playing in local taverns. You could pay the cover charge and see them play their own stuff, but the real draw was playing Led Zeppelin better than Led Zeppelin could play themselves! Anne Wilson had a powerful voice and Nancy wasn't all that hard on the eyes and could play a mean guitar! They played Parker's on Aurora a ton.

The Eagles vid was great but the Skynard was OFF THE FUCKING HOOK. The crowd shots we amazing too. Crazy that all those hot young girls are now in their 60s. The 70s was such a better time in this country than today. My only regret was that I wasn't a little older so I could appreciate it more for the fleeting Dream world that it was.

Not quite in the same category as a live performance, but this clip set to Led Zeppelin's "Boogie With Stu" is really well done. I've watched it about five times lol.

Oh, yeah. That is good. Love that Boogie with Stu vid.

By the way - I think you should have to watch and comment on a video before you post your own - (that's not directed at you DT, just all of us posting on here) watch and comment before posting a new performance.

I now give you the greatest beer commercial ever...
