Astonishing live performances on YouTube

An excellent live rendition of the Cowboy Bebop theme (Tank!) by the Jazz Lab Orchestra featuring the Japanese teenage drum prodigy Senri Kawaguchi:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGVKpNG9Jh0
She's ages about 15 here (she's 19 now) but she has been drumming since she was 5 and first became known outside Japan through her drum covers of the songs from the K-ON! anime series that she  posted on youtube when she was 12-13. She is a student of the top Japanese drummer Kozo Suganuma (who was a child prodigy himself) and has progressed massively in a short space of time. Here is her performance from the drum school's 2011 concert with Tekazu Session (Suganuma's regular band):

(the guitarist is blind, hence the odd technique, and uses a wristwatch as a slide)

She mostly plays jazz fusion (she plays regularly in Osaka's jazz clubs with some of the top Japanese musicians, is sponsored by Yamaha and was the drummer on Guthrie Govan's recent Japanese tour) and has released 4 albums in Japan. If you look through her youtube channel you will see that she can play anything in any style though, and at only 19 there is a lot more to come.

Though you have to put up with 5 seconds of Kenny Rogers at the beginning of it, I fucking love this Dylan performance.

I notice an ex-Brand X drummer gives an approving comment under that video.[nb]not Phil Collins though[/nb]

Wonderful live performance of 'Is it Because I'm Black' by Nicky Thomas at the Edinburgh Festival 1973.

Short-lived Deep Purple offshoot Paice Ashton Lord in concert 1977: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-_-KoGN_q4

The eccentric Tony 'Resurrection Shuffle' Ashton was notoriously uncomfortable as a front man, and clearly liked a few drinks to get him through it (and several times you get the feeling band members are wondering if he's going to be okay). The result was often shambolic brilliance, and there's something about this show that's unfeigned and compelling to me. Quite early on https://youtu.be/f-_-KoGN_q4?t=2m35s gives you a flavour of him, and he gets more 'relaxed' as it goes on.

A couple from The Three Degrees from their late 70s euro-disco period (1978's New Dimensions and 1979's 3D were produced by Giorgio Moroder)
Firstly, a 1978 French TV performance of Giving Up, Giving In
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=807ye3HKmHY
and a 1979 Dutch TV performance of The Runner:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IcPH566KO4
What a voice Sheila Ferguson has got (the soundman on the Dutch clip can barely cope), and the harmonies are absolutely spot on. It also goes to show up modern singers who say they need to lip-sync as they can't sing and dance at the same time.

I can't find the song I am looking for on Youtube so this one will have to do, though it isn't as good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9G2Nr2h4D4&list=RDK9G2Nr2h4D4

I was looking for Sink by Let's Eat Grandma from Later with Jools Holland, which, while not astonishing, I found quite mesmeric. This one isn't quite as good but has a similar feel. It is like the girls from Ginger Snaps made music.

I am sure most people on here will think it is pretty mannered and awful and I sort of feel I should to but there is something about it that I find beguiling.

The Peddlers - Walk on the Wild Side (not that one).

Look at them go! The drummer's a joy to watch.

The great Trevor Morais - Ringo's replacement(!) in The Hurricanes, drummer in Quantum Leap [nb]one hit wonders of 'Lone Ranger' fame - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hchOYs_d_Bw[/nb] and Bjork's touring drummer (Homogenic was largely recorded at his El Cortijo studio in Malaga, and he contributed one of the remixes for the One Day single[nb]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrWmVi4bqGg[/nb]). He was also the session and live drummer for Underworld - here's a cellphone video of him drumming along to Juanita/Kiteless
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GhH18Q8cP0
He also demonstrated one of the first drum machines on Tomorrow's World.

Deerhunter with a typically ace extended 'Nothing Ever Happens' that turns into a Patti Smith cover and then turns back again. I love 'em so.

An absoloutely gorgeous version of Tim Buckley doing Phantasmagoria In Two followed by another great mash-up of Hallucinations and Troubadour.

Nick Cave on TOTP circa-1978.

I'm going to see him next Sunday. I know an artist should play what they're feeling on the day and not necessarily pander to their fans but if he doesn't do that one I think I'll be a bit pissed off.
