Conway Twitty and the Residents
Fred Frith and Eitetsu Hayashi. Pretty bad ass.
Link Wray – Rumble 1978
evelyn glennie and fred frith
Chris Cutler. Cutler was one of the cooler improv shows I’ve seen.
John Zorn – Bladerunner Project (w/ Lombardo Laswell Frith). Zorn deserves his Macarthur grant if for no other reason than thinking “Lets play weird improv music. And lets get the drummer from Slayer…”

Roundabout by a high school “showchoir”.
Avert your eyes.
I’m not sure what a “show choir” is, but I think it is safe to say they should be destroyed.
And just for kicks, high school band plays Genesis’s “Dance On A Volcano”. In comparison to the above, not bad.
Stevie Wonder playing the Sesame Street theme on Sesame Street
Superstition from the same show.
Thats pretty awesome.
It’s been a while since I looked though you tube

Killing Joke – Millineum
Killing Joke – 80’s (live>
Killing Joke – Money Is Not Our God
Killing Joke – A New Day. That video is so 80’s it hurts.
Geordie (from Killing Joke) in the studio
Rush – Fly By Night. So 70’s it hurts.
(This is a good point that I’ve thought that Geordie from Killing Joke and Alex from Rush shared some stylistic elements in their guitar playing. Mostly the use of suspended chords featuring lots of open strings, and heavy tones drenched in chorus. Granted, this isn’t a great example of a Rush song like that)
Rush – After Image. A better example of my above comment.
Dead Kennedys – California Uber Alles – Live
