So I remember us having a thread like this a while back, but I couldn't find it (and honestly didn't try very hard), so here's another! Post live performances of artists, bands or whatever that wow you, either because of technical proficiency, an impeccable feel for how to express themselves musically, or basically anything impressive or profound. Any instrument, or even amazing vocals, is fine. As long as it's performed live (by which I just mean on camera - dodgy bedroom covers are fine if they're worth watching) and actually constitutes music (yeah, I guess electronic counts ;)).

To start, mother****ing Morgan Agren!

Dude has great technique and an amazingly good feel for how to pull the right sounds out of his drums. Can't believe I'm only just discovering him. Keyboardist he's playing with is Mats Oberg... yeah, it's a bit full on, but they are Swedish!

Oh, and they played with Frank Zappa or something, I guess.

Also, just to be diplomatic, a non-drum video. Meedley-mee! Etc.

The guitar solo makes me jizz my pants.

And of course, what would a music performance thread be without the amazing vocals of Eddie Vedder?

And Alice in Chains

The opening scream will send shivers down your spine.

And, at last, Pantera.

I thought this was going to be the "Rate the last gig you saw" thread.

But anyway, I'm seeing mother****ing Metallica tonight, they've been doing three shows in a row up in Brisbane, so I'll just post a video from last night.

Found a better video of this on stumble a while back but this is the best I found on youtube. Unconventional but rather awesome.
 
"Wish I was ol, n'a liddle... senamenal." :D

Man, if only they'd played Nil Recurring as well, I could throw out that EP forever. So superior.
 
This song's beauty just make me want to cry. John Wesley's vocal performance, the beautiful guitar solo, both are just haunting. The only flaw is that it ends rather abruptly.

And that guitar with the LCD screem, dayum.

Dammit, I could've been there!
 
Edit: Haha, I guess this got shifted over to the lounge at some point with the forums metamorphosing and all. Move it back to music if you want.~

Giving the thread another shot of adrenaline to post this amazing piano rendition of Massive Attack's Teardrop. Stick around till the end, cause damn.

 
Maria Yudina was a Russian concert pianist during the Great Terror. Stalin heard a live performance of her playing Mozart's piano concert 23 K488 in A major. He was so impressed that he demanded to be given a recording of it. However, no such recording existed, but they couldn't just say no obviously because it was Stalin and he'd like eat them for dinner or something if they refused him. So that night, a conductor and orchestra were procured at the last minute, and recording began. The initial conductor was so terrified that he had to be replaced...and the next one after him was the same. Finally, on conductor number 3, shortly before dawn, the recording was finished.

The recording (only one was made) was presented to Stalin the next day and he liked it so much that he awarded Yudina the Stalin Prize. She donated the money to her local church for "perpetual prayers for Stalin's sins". He didn't kill her or send her to Siberia. When he was found dead, this record was on his gramophone.


This is the second movement. It's slower and more melancholy than the first and third, but they're nice too.

Edit: So ok I guess technically it's not a performance, as such, since it's not live....but it's pretending to be a performance so that Stalin wouldn't go even more nuts.
