Not a huge Stones fan, but this is awesome.

But I am a huge Pistols fan, and this early performance...wow...Lydon just has star quality.

Great stuff fellas, keept it coming.

[The Hypno-Toad]

Some people might think this is just scene stealing and over the top but I think it just shows how great a guitarist he is.

Enjoyed that.

Although not respected as a guitarist, I'm always reminded of that lightning quick A aeolian run he plays at the start of When Doves Cry

That was an outstanding gig and probably equal favourite ever for me(with The Cure Wembley 1989), absolute ideal venue for kraftwerk.
Wonder if they would play the velodrome in Calshot

[Greenwich Ross]

Helps if you know the recorded version (cos you're gonna struggle to pick the song out of this lot) but...

at the drive in one armed scissor (live on jools holland)

This is combines the old and the new superbly well:

Gary Numan with Nine Inch Nails: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qlUFKFHNIU

as a huge Numan fan, I have to say I think that is the best performance I have ever seen/heard of that track

Saw Queen in 86 and I can find myself on the video. Brilliant.
Saw G'n'R the same year, great but even back then you had to wait for Axle, what a cock.
Fields of the Nephilim have just released a live DVD of the Astoria gig 4 years ago, that's worth a look if you like their style.

I've also seen them live at a Polish power station (Nova Hute) which was pretty damn good too

Antony Bray aka Abaddon is one of the nicest people in metal I've ever met, and he's got loads of funny stories to tell about Venom, home made pyros indeed.

Having watched it again, just how good is the Slayer/Machine Head take in the linked videos?!

That's gone straight to favourites, thanks.

The Old Grey Whistle Test was what I grew-up watching.

Try this from Bill Withers

Or the Specials

I never knew Prince played guitar (or so well).

So many NIN great live performances this is one of the best.

In the same vein, Aerosmith unplugged covering the Doors "Love me two times".

Rolling Stones; Gimme Shelter, for Lisa Fisher's superb performance

I can take or leave Numan, and NIN, but that is just brilliant. Thnx StevieBee, never even knew that existed.

For The Love of God - Vai @ Seville 1992

Vai's first, and best, live performance of the tune. Just majestic.

Not the first!!

Vai with Whitesnake 1990 - For the Love of God..
