Marvin Sease performing Candy Licker somewhere. An extraordinary mix of quality live music, smooth as silk vocals and an audience full of randy 50 somethings from the southern states of the USA.

If you do watch, stick around until the 3 minute mark for an interloper on stage.

[Olarrio]

Policy of 3 throw up an incredibly intense performance here, truly in keeping with how fourfa.com led you to believe emo was #cabbagecollective

A soundboard recording of the Smashing Pumpkins on the 1999 "Arising!" tour:

I've heard a few of the audience recordings of these gigs, and it's one of my favourite live eras of the Pumpkins. The original lineup back together (Jimmy Chamberlin back on drums, D'arcy hadn't left yet), just being a kickass rockband.

T-bone died. This happened.

The Pogues doin Waxie's Dargle in 1985, back when Shane could be bothered playin guitar.

Gorgeous, gorgeous stuff.

[Foggy Buntwhistle]

Jagwa Music. Mad Tanzanian casio keyboard and "drums" stuff. The actual live performance starts at about 2:20 but the intro is nice as well. Gig looks fucking mental.

Fela Kuti putting on a fucking astounding show in the pissing rain.

Slightly different vibe but The Breeders doing If I were a Painter. Kim Deal is pure love[nb]sex[/nb] really.

Your first is a link to RL Burnside. Nothing wrong that, but what you described sounds interesting.

Jesus Christ, this note! Has a lower note been hit in the history of creation?

Woah, that's lower than Thurl Ravenscroft.

This clip of kids doing Aphex Twin in steel band formhas probably been posted on here hundreds of times but bothered

Princes Hill Secondary College Vocal Group do Broadcast and the Focus Group's 'The Be Colony'

The original:

[jobotic]

Puce that original is wonderful. I'm getting me that album.

I really haven't given Broadcast the attention I should have. Loved Stereolab back in the day, bought the fist couple of singles by Broadcast, love the Valerie and her Week of Wonders soundtrack, have a mate who copied me a load of Ghost Box stuff, which is great, but just never got round to it. What a fool.

Have enjoyed listening to this, mind.

Here are The Residents very world weary in 2001

We have had a lot of Broadcast threads over the years but I did consider starting a new one for completists. They are probably my second-favourite band, and that album in particular is in my top ten. It's probably the album I've listened to most in the last 5 or so years. I adore it, and actually feel rather obsessed with it.

The mix with The Focus Group adds a dimension to their sound that was waiting to happen, I think. Much weirder, disjointed and creepy than anything else they produced on their own. If you really like that you may find their earlier work quite sedate and conventional - but you really could do worse than going back and listening to them chronologically.

They also did an EP with The Focus Group which some feel is stronger than the album.

Glad you liked it.

A young sexy Argerich smashes the hell out of the end of Prokofiev 7:

http://youtu.be/8rHnrpRVcDM

Shit gets real at 2.27 if you're especially impatient.

Also all of this, but 25.20 to end is ludicrous:

She was 36 in the above video! Looks about 19.

Dude where have you been?

I reckon this is their definitive live performance.  You only get first 2 records, but the sound's great, her voice is holding up (neither of these 2 are given in their live recordings),and there's a nasty menacing edge to everything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LicRs6WXVo

Such a great band.  Easily in my all time top 3.  They deserve their own thread.

Nah, I think the best-captured performance is this BBC recording at ATP in 2001. Amazing sound and I don't think Trish ever sang better.

Yeah its Daryl Hall. I just like it.

[Phil_A]

The Sound in 1984 doing a devastatingly intense version of "Winning". This song always feels to me like a person trying to convince themselves rather than a statement of defiance (possibly true in Adrian Borland's case), and never more so than here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x13lIPL1ffI

God only knows why they mixed the guitar so quietly on the album version.

[MuteBanana]

I really like this between Jools Holland and Billy Preston.
