I certainly don't. I don't use youtube like I listen to albums. But if I were to make such a list, it would contain clips from the old Night Music program and similar stuff.

I would like to see/hear such a list

[noisereductions]

that Beasties' "Check it" would be on mine !!

[Bertrand]

That FEAR thing sure was wild...

Here are 10, but I'm afraid I wouldn't stick to the last ones long.

Number One is the King himself, and I can't get enough of it...
Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb0Jmy-JYbA

Jon Spencer Blues Explosion on Australian TV show Recovery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViSgLo57680
Jon said the show took place one morning and that they were not too familiar with playing so early when all of a sudden, something happened. The clip contains both moments the band played, early on, and to close the show I presume. During the first part you see Jon somehow uncomfortable, that's the interesting part of it. The second part is the crazy part - from 5'40 to 9'40. Jon said that the TV crew was great as they kept helping him, providing him with mikes and letting him go wild.

It can't be said about the French host on that clip...
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion co-starring Jackie Chan : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA_dSBLp1A8
That was shot the same day, I assume, as their show in Paris that year, a gig I went to, and a great great one it was.

Quieter, now
Sonic Youth – Stones, live in Saint-Brieuc : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIT_-0FUnDI
Saw them 12 times, this performance is my favorite. Musically it was great, and the shooting is quite good.

Dr Feelgood - Roxette : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nyeSGaBcrA

Thee Oh Sees : a chunk of a concert in Paris in 2013 I went to. Warm Soda member crowd surfing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvh_Txnam2U

The Replacements – Alex Chilton on Jimmy Fallon : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYsJafVAok

Adrienne Pauly – J’veux un mec (I want a man) on French TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVtew9qAL-s

David Bowie – Bring Me the Disco King : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlwtCkUnZHU

... 10 is too demanding; I'd put the falling out of a band in New York 1998 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILR5-JK8gvg (either that or Sabrina singing Boys for television, but that would be too much and you'd forget all that's preceded)

I think this is from a documentary called That's the Way It Is, which I caught on TV a few weeks back. Actually I just watched the first half, the backstage stuff. I was struck by how funny and full of life Elvis was. Not a fat sad man on his last leg. Someone was kind enough to edit together some of the funniest parts. He really was an incredibly charming, magnetic man.

Yep ! His playing with the drummer at around 2 minutes is really funny.

When Elvis died, I was 7 and I have no recollection at all of how his death was dealt with.
As I grew older, I associated Elvis with his movies, which were aired on the Luxemburg television to "celebrate" him every summer. Given that his movies are terrible, I never believed he could have been good at all.
It took viewing him on TV for the 30th birthday of his death to realize how talented and laid-back he was on stage.
It was as if he would miss a beat, as he was smiling and looking at the audience, but he did not, and his voice... what a voice...

Built To Spill - Broken Chairs - 3/15/2012 - Stage On Sixth, Austin, TX - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NtOA7ZT5XY

The Entrance Band Live: Grim Reaper Blues - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJMdNNSE0KE

Talking Heads: LIVE IN ROME FULL CONCERT - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wp2qhoop9U
Belew kills it in this. Fucking KILLS it!

Sonic Youth - Live At The Art Rock Festival 2005 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IYAZe5rsRw
I've grown quite fond of this one over the past few years.

Primus - live at Red Rocks Webcast - August 12th 2010 (Full Show) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk4mlxY2row
Solid setlist. Solid quality. Solid watch.

Massive Attack - Antistar (Live - Pinkpop 2003) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GOa4h_qSrM

Ministry - So What - (LIVE) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syetLNIDZUo
Not going to lie, I was quite surprised to see this on another list. Has long, long been a fav of mine. It was uploaded then went missing for a few years before this upload came around. Simply one of the best songs off of one of the best live albums ever put out.

And a few nostalgic "I was there" vids that I am glad exist. Not all best quality by any means, but I love to go back and relive quite often.

Modest Mouse - Live 2002.08.15 - The Diamond Ballroom, Oklahoma City, OK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IkHdKXIY3s

Tool — Live 1996/12/15 [ANA-UG] @ Tulsa, OK - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeK_Db5dYGo
First of several Tool shows. Say what you will (and it has for sure, in the other thread), but I have long been a fan. This was a key moment for my life.

Sonic Youth - expressway to yr skull (7/16/09) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mBGfbCn060
I'm Kyle, and this meant the world to me...

Hard to stick to 10, but I will play by the rules.

Yeah, always loved that song, and the live version really is hypnotic. Great word for it.

And yes, I have enjoyed watching most all the vids posted in this thread, really. Hoping to see some more good ones!

[pepper_green]

me too.


just one of my faves I had for a long time. Alex Chilton on an early version of 120 mins. he kills the Letter:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=105yeWrjoEc

walking around in a New Orleans cemetery singing songs is my dream. I've watched this a thousand times. love Alex Chilton and Big Star!

[Peterpuff]

A new one has made my list this month.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZApf9c8Tes
BABYMETAL Makes Their U.S. Television Debut

...and I am not even kidding. The "intrigue" of the past few years has turned into a total embrace of the odd with the new release. I can't tell you how many times I have watched this historic moment over the past several weeks.

1984 - beastie boys & butthole surfers on the scott & gary tv show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bezWjn1rT1E

Beasties as a punk band. Butthole does their thing.
