Phenomenal video. Phenomenal audio. Phenomenal performance. “Goin’ Against Your Mind.” The Wonder Ballroom, Portland, OR, 9/5/2008. Chills.

Dinosaur Jr.
covering “Just Like Heaven”. 2007ish. Video quality is crap, but audio is excellent.
Miles Davis
I think Miles honestly believes that they can hear him on the other side of the planet. That’s why he’s aiming his trumpet at them. So fucking raw. Berlin, 1973.
Holly Miranda
Intense. Holly Miranda, “Waves” at Zebulon, Brooklyn, 2009. Ends with a stroll through the neighborhood.
Guns n Roses
A short, well-reasoned argument about the importance of affordable health insurance by Axl, followed by a ripping performance of “Paradise City.” Indiana, 1991.
Magnolia Electric Co.
“I’ve Been Riding With the Ghost”, live from Birmingham. Not sure of the year: 2007ish?
J Mascis with Broken Social Scene
Not sure if this is truly live or just spontaneous, but it’s J Mascis shredding with Broken Social Scene, so I’ll make an exception. 2007.
Neil Young
Quite possibly the best version of “Down by the River” I’ve ever found. Anyone have any info on this show?
Answered by @eastvanhalen & @HeyTweed: it’s from Austin City Limits, 1984. Thanks guys!
The Budos Band
Rite of the Ancients (Live on KEXP). 2010 Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival.
Prince, Something in the Water (Does Not Compute) session. Unknown year, but probably early 1980s.
Raw. Like, seriously fucking raw. Also, I miss the days when Prince used to shred.
