YouTube music thread

Anyone think it'd be a good idea to have a YouTube thread here for strictly music and odd obscura/bootleg stuff? I can't be bothered to trawl through threads that contain videos of American kids falling over so how about a music only one? I've got a few in mind that are quite nice.

Yes please. Good idea.

Try this, rude boys - The Specials, Man at C&A, live 1980:

Amazing.

Wow, that's a nice find. I saw Terry Hall looking glum waiting for a tube at West Hampstead a few years ago. Miserable cunt. Great, *great* band, killer live I bet.

OK, here's three good 'uns:

Black Sabbath - Paranoid, 1970.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNppqUotW94
Wonderful early Sabs footage. Remember this is *1970* and Iommi has a guitar tone to melt galaxies and Bill Ward's kick drum is doing some serious damage. I think if I was watching them live at the time I would have killed myself in awe. Ozzy obviously fucked out of his mind.

Pentagram - Sign of the Wolf, 1983.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVkq_vrdmJY
The greatest Doom Metal band ever. Check lead singer legend Bobby Liebling's outfit and leg moves. A GOD. Band look like Motley Crue who've quite literally been in a fight with a million cats at the top of a Gothic castle. Riffs.

Jimmy Page - Age 14, 1957.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXeC40P80o
In a skiffle group (which was HUGE in the UK in the 50s). The interview after is hilarious. Who'd of thought this fresh-faced kid who wanted to be a biologist would grow up to be a Satan worshipping guitar God and drug vacuum.

Ace thread idea.

Amazingly naff but ace synthesizer medley featuring Thomas Dolby, Herbie Hancock, Howard Jones, and Stevie Wonder live in Los Angeles (1985).

Great idea

First part (of 7) of an interesting documentary about Sham 69:

I'm not a big fan of them musically, but it's a real eye opener to see what England was like at the time (seeing as I wasn't born then). Jimmy Pursey is a complete knob, but if you stick it out there's a bit of fisty-cuffs at the end which is entertaining if you're a sick bastard like me.

Husker Du-live on Joan Rivers-1987, small interview too considering they all hated each other by now, nice!

Great harmonies between Bob Mould and Grant Hart on the second song.

Camden Palace 1984...

Rare SNL performance by The Replacements, nice to see the late, great and mad Bob Stinson perfom (in very fetching stripey clown trousers

)

Another "Mats" clip, f*ck me they were tight..

I find the music fucking annoying though. Probably her voice. This Side of the Blue is OK, but the rest is like nails on a blackboard...

A whole classic Prefab Sprout gig from Munich in 1985. Never seen before on TV until this year â€“ thanks Germany! An hour later and it was on YouTube.

I guess I'm going for a dance vibe here...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unDZ7G9rhlY
Sesame's Treat by Smart E's --- It's quite Old Skool Dance music. Yes, it's a bit naff I admit, but I loved the TV show when I was a kid and this song makes me dance. Can't be that bad then.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRakVlEYVLg
Brainbug by Nightmare ---- I loved this tune when I heard it first and still do. I think the music video suits it perfectly, it's very much a B-Movie and thats maybe thats not so bad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Mwygy4F1o8
Humanoid by Stakker Humanoid --- This video was so ahead of its time in 1988 graphics wise. Plus, its a bangin' tune as the kids say. Play it LOUD!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpPjlFktzmk
U Can't Touch this by MC Hammer --- Yes kids, this is how they used to dress in the 80's. I love this video since its a lot of fun. Still cracks me up everytime I see him moving from side to side.

Oh yeah! Carmine Appice kicking ass on drums. For more percussion madness check this incredible King Crimson footage. If this isn't the most proggy prog ever in the world of prog then I don't know what is. The way Fripp just sits there like some magical wizard of music is brilliant. Jamie Muir the percussionist left Crimson because he dropped a gong on his foot, it was obviously bad vibes, and went off to live in a monastery in Scotland. I believe he paints now but is an intense recluse. All because of that gong. God I love prog.

Thoroughly enjoyed the vids so far I must say. Good time waster.

Is there an OSX app that lets you make playlists of YouTube clips, iTunes style? I'd like to chuck all these clips into a playlist and watch 'em on my lappy whilst I'm working.

Have a go on some classic Boys Next Door footage. I didn't even know this existed, great song and clip.
