Go on, post one up, it's got to be epic! He's a beautiful man, but he's got a girl's name so it's alright!
Ondra truly rocks, heard an interview where he was asked what his weakness was and he said roof climbing, jeezus if that's his weakness I'm a monkeys uncle. 😉
Possible thread killer..sorry
Great song, great perfomance.
Watch Moon flailing away in the background and Entwhistels fingers flying. Brilliant.
[edit] and turn the volume right up from about 6:40.
Gotta have some Rory:
Angus Young playing Let There Be Rock - Live in Paris sometime in the 70s I think it was.

Who says wimminz can't play the harmonica? Big Mama sure can and there's some really sizzling sax playing too.
Someone had to post it, great footage too.
Rory Gallagher
We saw the tribute band Sinnerboy recently, even with a crowd of 20 it was still an awesome night.
And the whole of the AC/DC Live at River Plate, but mainly because of the batshit audience jumping non-stop for the entire performance.
My wife is out tonight so it's football followed by that particular DVD I reckon.
I don't know how many times I saw the film Woodstock! The 70's were bloomin' brilliant for music.
Didn't know there was a Rory tribute band and hope they recreated the energy in his performances. 🙂
I seem to be a sucker for bands that had a brief, magnificent heyday, then hung around for too long delivering ever diminishing returns, on which note, here's some heyday:
Thread wouldn't be right without Born to Run, so here it is:
Nailed it.
Among everything else they did, it's easy to forget how hard these guys could rock...

Surprised me when I saw the posters, was suspicious until I went to the gig, they were brilliant, guitars tuned to perfection so they sounded like R.G. before they even started playing.
I liked the fact that they even asked which version of Million Miles Away we wanted to hear, probably weren't surprised when my shout of 'Irish Tour!' was taken up by everybody else in the audience* 8)
*all twenty of them, Edinburgh obviously isn't a big Gallagher town 🙁
It's all about the bass..

I have no idea how to post up YouTube footage, but as far as live albums go here's my tenpeneth worth:
Deep Purple Made in Japan
UFO Strangers in the night
Thin Lizzy Live & dangerous
Neil Young Live rust
Free Live!
ACDC if you want blood
and yes I was a teenager in the 70's
Some great ones here, notably Maiden and Queen.
Thunder at Donnington in '90 was a bit special. Opened the show. Left everyone else feeling very flat trying to follow up!
I've seen a few of the bands named above live, and listened to plenty of those gigs as recorded, but I've got to say that the first one listed, Fleetwood Mac, was the biggest disappointment of them all. Supported by Jethro Tull and Hall and Oates, Fleetwood Mac at Wembley in about 1990 were technically excellent but absolutely soul-less. I remember them for being absolutely uncharismatic. (Hall and Oates were so cheesy it was embarrassing, btw!).
Peter Green though, a few years later in a small sports hall here in Swansea, was excellent.
My brother was right up the front. Bastard.

To all the posters linking to Queen - bear in mind that Freddie based his stage performance on Hitler or Mussolini. Think of that and try to watch him now.... 😆
Freddie had all of Wembley in the palm of his hand. What a voice a true legend!
I was lucky enough to see Queen in a little club (Tiffanys) in Purley of all places, in 1979 & f*## me they were a stunning live band
Only found this online recently.
THE gig I wish I'd been at.
I literally did get kicked off stage by big Phil into the crowd. Rock city days, great memories, might try it at frank turner next month 😉
Great link RS - Little Feat one of my all time fave bands. I shall enjoy that!

see what you mean 😯
Fugazi doing [i]waiting room
[/i]. Feel the energy from 25 years away.
Might be TOTP but cant help but smile at this
And as I've only just yesterday made contact with the Big Figure's son after 20 years .....
Saw The Black Crowes on that tour - The High as the Moon tour in '92. They were superb!
Thin Lizzy, Cold Sweat, live in Dublin pub, This is as close as I can get to when they played Live on a program called OTT which is still clear in my mind after one viewing many years ago.
So many to post, but I think it may offend some of your gentler musical sensibilities! 😆
Hah, love stuff like this. Don't bands always have a tonne of magic about them when they're fresh and young? I can't bear Fleetwood Mac's middle aged tour videos... they just stare sullenly into space and sing for coins. But early days Lyndsey's talent, Mick's presence, Stevie's draw, and the other two, it's just awesome.
Great Fugazi clip above, and I've not heard that Thin Lizzy track before. Didn't think of them as a band that played stuff that heavy!
Speaking of fresh faced, and a bit off topic, I don't think these boys are even shaving yet:
Aaaw moose, you must be so radcore! Just because most vids aren't vile doesn't mean folk don't like vile... it's just I doubt the latest Pig Destroyer live show would count among the 'Great' rock performances! 🙂
Nah, dude. I just like newer stuff. To be fair there aren't many modern rock bands that cut the mustard live. Fair few metal, but not many rock. Last decent gig I went to was the Foos.

Congratulations! You've just won a years supply of Andrex, to wipe away the bullshit from your mouth! 😛
hah slackaline I know, I don't think Mercury 'based his stage performance' on anyone, though I'm sure plenty people enjoy comparing his moves to other people!
