"I CANT GET THESE BLUES OFF OF MY MIND - Lightnin Hopkins performs That Woman Named Mary in one of the coolest blues performances of all time. The director of this clip was asked about it and this is what he said: Lightnins apparent omniscience was a constant source of surprise for me. He was like an ancient oracle in his uncanny ability to improvise rhyming blues songs about a person or situation that revealed a truth that was perfect in its simplicity yet infinitely complex in its layers of meaning. I asked him to tell me what the blues meant to him and he picked up his guitar and started to"

The MSG dates concluded their [----] tour which saw Zeppelin rise to epic heights even surpassing The Beatles for concert attendance in Tampa earlier that year. These three nights were filmed for the concert movie The Song Remains The Same.

Jimmys fantasy sequence is truly intoxicating. It is filmed at The Boleksine house on"

"LORD KNOWS I CANT CHANGE - Lynyrd Skynyrd performing their iconic song Free Bird in [----] at the Old Grey Whistle Test. Its difficult to find a song with more emotional and cultural impact than this one. The song runs about [--] minutes and the last lyric is uttered at about [--] minute mark which paves way for [--] minutes of an absolute high energy guitar attack. This passage contains so many great riffs which is led by guitarist Allen Collins. The Skynyrd guitar army consisted of many guitarists including Collins Gary Rossington Steve Gaines and Ed King. This many guitars allowed the band to create"

"GIVE ME THE RAIN - Page & Plant perform The Rain Song for MTVs Unplugged (1994). This was their best performance of the night complete with Pages rhythm section12 Egyptian musicians and [--] string musicians to make it just as mystical as we remember hearing it for the first time on Houses of the Holy. For two men who had barely spoken since John Bonhams death [--] years earlier youd never know it the chemistry between Robert Plant and Jimmy Page was off the charts the perfect balance of push and pull between two of the greatest minds music has to offer. Pages guitar playing is never more"

"TALLER THAN THE EMPIRE STATE - Sades performance of Is It a Crime at Live Aid (July 13th 1985) is a clinic in control and emotional precision. From the first note she has the entire audience in the palm of her hand. Her phrasing is stretched just enough to let the ache settle especially in lines like I still want you. She never over emotes. She lets the melody smolder her voice doing the work of expressing longing with elegance and restraint. Technically its stunning. Sade leans into her lower register with smoky intimacy then lifts into her midrange without losing breath control or tone. Her"

"DIRE STRAITS - Formed in London in [----] they moved with the precision of a surgical team every motion deliberate every cut clean. John Illsley kept the pulse unwavering bass lines as exact as a heart monitor. Pick Withers treated time as both tool and restraint drumming with a discipline that understood when to press forward and when to hold back. Alan Clark and Guy Fletcher shaped the air itself leaving ego at the door and slipping in through the margins their keyboards quietly rewiring the room until the atmosphere changed without anyone noticing how. And then there was Mark Knopfler the"

"TEXAS VOODOO - Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Troubles [----] performance of Voodoo Child (Slight Return) at Austin City Limits stands as a seminar in guitar virtuosity. SRV approached the Hendrix classic with a fiery intensity turning the song into a personal showcase of raw emotion and technical brilliance. His phrasing bends and fearless command of the fretboard electrified the Texan audience carrying the spirit of the original while stamping it with his own unmistakable identity. Every note felt alive as if SRV was channeling forces both earthly and cosmic honoring Hendrix while pushing the"

"ITS NICE TO HEAR YOU SAY HELLO - Released in [----] Bless the Telephone is a quiet masterpiece by British singer-songwriter Labi Siffre. A tender hymn to connection in a world before instant communication. Over soft guitar chords and gentle phrasing Siffres voice turns something as ordinary as a phone call into something sacred. Its nice to hear your voice again he sings Ive waited all day long and suddenly love feels close enough to touch. Written and performed by Siffre himself the song is pure intimacy andba reminder that sometimes one voice is enough to bridge the miles between two souls"

"KOOL & THE GANG - Formed in Jersey City New Jersey as a jazz ensemble in the mid-60s Kool & the Gang became one of the most inspired and influential funk units during the 70s and one of the most popular R&B groups of the 80s. Just as funky as James Brown or Parliament (and sampled almost as frequently) Kool & the Gang relied on their jazz backgrounds and long friendship to form a tightly knit group with the interplay and improvisation of a jazz outfit plus the energy and spark of a band with equal ties to soul R&B and funk. Here are three of our favorite Kool & The Gang songs and some history"

"NOTHIN LASTS FOREVER - Clocking in at nearly nine minutes November Rain pulls from an unusually wide range of influences: Elton Johns grand piano balladry Led Zeppelins sense of scale Queens theatrical sweep and the glossy excess of Mtley Cre. Expanding on the original [----] piano demo the finished track layers sweeping orchestral strings with multiple guitar passages transforming it from a strong song into a full blown power ballad epic. The music video matched that ambition. With a then staggering $1.5 million budget it became a fixture on the now extinct MTV packed with cinematic symbolism"

"COOL WIND IN MY HAIR - The California night air never really leaves this solo. Its baked into every bend every perfectly weighted pause. Don Felder opens the door with that icy deliberate phrasing melodic and clinical in how precise it is. Then Joe Walsh answers like a streetlight flickering on at midnight: rawer & grinning through the notes. What makes this solo immortal is its conversation. Two guitars finishing each others sentences trading tension and release building harmony the way LA builds myths. By the time they lock into that twin lead climb it feels inevitable. Control and timing"

"THE DAY WE LOST WAYLON - Waylon Jennings will always go down as an outlaw and rightly so. Ol Hoss is the definition of the outlaw country artist. He recorded what he wanted and how he wanted. He used his band and he created a defining sound for the outlaw movement that went beyond just a sense of freedom in the studio a defining sound with a driving back beat that has become my personal favorite in the history of this storied genre we know as country music. As you see in the clips above too the man had a way with the ladies. You may be cool but youll never be cooler than Waylon Jennings."

"BLACK SABBATH - Today is Friday the 13th the same date and day in [----] when Black Sabbath released their debut album and birthed heavy metal as we know it. Dark ominous and heavier than anything before it this record rewrote the rules. Ozzy Osbourne gave the music its haunted voice. Tony Iommi turned limitation into invention with down tuned crushing riffs. Geezer Butler infused the songs with occult charged lyrics and godlike basslines. Bill Ward fused swing and thunder into something entirely new. From that rain soaked bell toll to the final warning this album drew the blueprint for"

From the very first moment they played together their chemistry was undeniable and it was clear they were destined to become the greatest rock group of all time.

"NIRVANA: MTV UNPLUGGED IN NEW YORK - On November [--] [----] inside Sony Music Studios in New York Nirvana recorded their MTV Unplugged session. What shouldve been a casual acoustic showcase became something stranger and culturally seismic. Cobain performs with the kind of vulnerability that feels involuntary. His voice frayed at the edges eyes tired but alert carrying the weight of someone both uncomfortable and completely present. He doesnt posture. He simply exists in front of us and that rawness becomes its own gravity. Krist Novoselic keeps the bass spacious almost breathing. Dave Grohl"

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL MCDONALD - Happy Birthday to the one and only Michael McDonald. The man with a voice so smooth it could make a tax audit sound like a love song. From his legendary days with The Doobie Brothers to teaming up with Kenny Loggins for some of the greatest soft rock anthems ever and of course giving Christopher Crosss Ride Like the Wind that extra dose of magic Michael has been the secret ingredient in more hits than we can count. If theres a song from the 70s or 80s that gives you instant good vibes chances are hes on it"
