And then there are masters like [MEDIA=youtube[/URL], who make their guitars cry or sing with apparently as much concentrated effort as it takes to scratch your head.

Here's a priceless, [PLAIN][MEDIA=youtube[/URL] of the same.

Okay, it IS sentimental, and Maggie Reilly haven't done much else since, but her vocal on Mike Oldfield's "Moonlight Shadow" remains brilliant:

One of my favorite Dire Straits songs, in a live version that kills: "You and Your Friend".

Excellent! Was that Franklin playing slide?

There's also a neat Telegraph Road reprise posted by that same user.

I don't know who was in that line-up, but yeah, the steel guitar/lap steel parts were great.

Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone

One might wish to the get the DVD, The Song Remains the Same, which is where some of this comes from - http://youtube.com/watch?v=v04nosDNQpk&mode=related&search=

Page plays his guitar with a violin bow, and he gets some really interesting acoustics.


Guitar players will want to watch this - JOE SATRIANI - On two hand tapping

Wow, they had it on their website:
Apocalyptica - Quutamo
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UaaA9iT4Dpo
I sort of have a headache from watching them shake their heads like that and all those blinking lights.

There is no singing in this version on YouTube, but there is a very nice version with French lyrics, although I have no clue what she is singing about. If anyone wants, I could upload it for a short while somewhere.

Not sure I'd call them the greatest songs ever, but I really liked the DT/Tony Levin combo on Liquid Tension Experiment's 2 albums. For a while Paradigm Shift was on constant loop in my CD player. It is still one of my favorites.

Live performance:

Also found some video of some kid doing the guitar for the song, pretty impressive (to someone like me who can't play anyway):

I've enjoyed a lot of the music, thanks. There are so many songs I'd consider adding, but to narrow it down, this was our bridal 'waltz' (our anniversary is today!), so I'm happy to call it the best song.

OK it is time for the old geezer to chime in. This little tune has been around forever. It has been in stage productions, played by marching bands and performed a zillion times. I still love it.

That is one of my all time favorites. This version is quite a bit slower than the version used on the "War of the Worlds" album.

And here I thought I was cool not saying "album", the only "uncool" thing between an album and a cassette was an 8 track tape player, yeah I had one. :redface:
