So Rush has played 3 shows so far in LA now, with a fourth tonight. Lots of great surprises (the full 7 parts/20 minutes of 2112! Aimee Mann showing up to sing Time Stand Still!), so look up more videos if you’re interested.
The other one I will post here is also from night 1, the first performance of Tom Sawyer. Anika nails the drum fills in the middle and gets a huge cheer.
ahhh I am crying
Courtney Barnett - Live At Levon Helm Studios.
The third in a series of live versions of songs from Beth Orton’s new album, The Ground Above.
OMG I can’t believe we beat Mexico in the World Cup! The whole country will be in a brilliant mood and celebrating!
Since we’re on an American theme (God bless) I love this, Mel Brooks doing Frank Sinatra, America the Beautiful.
41 years ago today. I was 22, working in radio but didn’t have to go until evening as I was working the late night shift at an automated station (actually two). Where I’m from there was no cable TV (yet) so when I got up that morning I immediately started taping Live Aid off of one our local AOR stations, WRDU out of Raleigh, NC. This is one of my favorite performances from that day.
Throwing Muses on MTV’s Most Wanted in 1994.
Phoebe Bridgers’ surprise appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last night.
I couldn’t find a full video as yet on youtube. A snippet from instagram of Courntey Barnett with Michael Shannon at Newport Blues Cafe performing Patti Smith’s, People Have The Power.
So great! I took a screen shot.
A couple covers. The first is audio of Phoebe Bridgers covering Nirvana’s “Lithium” during a recent appearance on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. The second is Julia Jacklin performing “Every Morning” by Sugar Ray for Triple J’s Like A Version.
A young Bono and U2 at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark in 1982. Until their Under A Blood Red Sky album I’d not heard any (or many) of the songs that predated War.
