Best live-recording music video?

Edited on Sat May-27-06 02:32 PM by tuvor

For me it would have to be New Order's Perfect Kiss. Just the band in the studio, performing the song live. Every time I see it, I'm blown away. Aside from the fact that it's a great song, I'm not exactly sure why, but it always transfixes me for nearly ten minutes.

ON EDIT: Just found out it was directed by Jonathan Demme.

1. Joy Division's "Transmission" is a good one

That's where I got that from. Lots of good stuff in those threads.

Not technically a music video, but one of my favourite live performances: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqsNR5pI6bw

7. I hadn't noticed swag's thread.

If you hadn't told me, I'd never have seen Lawrence Welk doing Sister Ray. You've truly made my day.

6. PJ Harvey's cover of Willie Dixon's "Wang Dang Doodle"

has a lot going for it: beauty, power, and filth. Just her, her Telecaster, and a fuzz box:

11. Perfect Kiss inspired the post.

So I guess I'm thinking promo videos rather than public performances.
