And idea whether the Fairytales from the Rotten Shed audio is available anywhere? I know there's the dvd, I prefer these versions to the studio recordings and Garage concert cds.
Beautiful voice, and then just walked away from the music industry. Lives a quiet family life now, by all accounts, still in Ireland.
Sinead O'Connor with the chieftains
This:
I'm chuffed that a singer I've liked for a while has just joined a band I've loved for forever.
Never tire of this.  Magnificent hair.  Top of their game.  And that’s how they opened the gig too
Songs with a more country style may not get so much love on here, but I think at times it can be hard hitting, or put you in a reflective mood.
Some of the best groove playing ever! It’s rather old and low res but it doesn’t matter:
More SLIFT
And this
So good but the BBC keeps taking it down

For a EDM / Trance type vibe, this is nuts...

The boss and the two happiest fans in the world.
Nile Rodgers is surely the coolest guy on the planet. He also has an honorary professorship at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester.
Oh and Freddy was the best frontman ever.
Something slightly different - a local band that are going places I think - just signed a deal and they are only 16.
I was there for this one, which is weird because I don't even like the Killers. But just for that one night they were perfect and this closer was perfecter. (apparently they ended up doing the "reprise" a lot but back then it was a genuine "we only do this occasionally when it feels right". I've been watching this video a couple of times a year for 17 years and it still gets me.
When Brandon Flowers the actual robot is visibly having an emotional reaction, just imagine what the tired pissed humans were like 🙂 Live music is sorcery.
Hah, too late to edit but I just noticed I left a comment on that video, 16 years ago. Sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live when you were young!
Another one I rewatch pretty often that I was at... I love my chemical romance anyway and especially loved the black parade period (it's not emo, it's just britrock/classic rock) so they were a pretty epic festival closer already, then Brian May turns up. And I love Queen, but this was that spell where Brian May would turn up to the opening of a crisp packet and play We Will Rock You, he was unavoidable, I saw him do guest appearances with probably 4 or 5 other bands from Pink to the Foo Fighters and it was usually pretty dull and low effort tbf. But this one time he learned the band's own song and not just that but absolutely bloody smashed it- the first time when you hear <that> guitar sound really kick through on the lead and see him throwing shapes with Frank Iero still makes me grin like an idiot. Definitely not the best time I saw the band but it's the one I'll still remember when I'm a hundred and don't remember my own name.
Festival closers just hit so different... Mass hysteria is hard to replicate.
This one. I was there and still looking back on it gives me shivers.
Huh, I was completely convinced I was at that show, had people say how iconic it was and how lucky I am, I literally just now figured out I wasn't, I was at the 2004 show at the same venue 😛 Still great but not <that show>, man. Think it was the same stageset or at leat a similar round deal.
(we had standing tickets but found a gap in the curtain and sneaked onto the main floor, then one of our mates decided he was a freedom fighter and went back into the stand and started telling everyone else so there was a huge sway down towards the gap, so the security saw it and he got stuck back in the stand)
Fugazi
Ah Fugazi is a good one!
