The Who Backstage Pass 2007

For Led Zeppelin fanatics, this 1976 feature The Song Remains the Same is a treasure of searing live performances, particularly welcome in light of the sad scarcity of such visual material from the band's great decade. Despite the group's road weariness after a long tour, their final, three-night stand at Madison Square Garden in 1973 was full of the old power. Performances of "No Quarter," "Whole Lotta Love," "Black Dog," "Dazed and Confused," and "Stairway to Heaven" underscore Zep's charisma. Trouble is, you don't get an unbroken performance here. Viewers have to wade through a mishmash of documentary insight into the lives of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones, as well as fantasy sequences supposedly inspired by the thoughts and fantasies of the band's individual members. It's mostly garish and silly, but there are some nice elements, especially insights into the late Bonham's life.

Every Song Tells A Story is sort of Randy Bachman unplugged. But there's nothing acoustic about Bachman's oeuvre. Even in these subdued renditions these songs rock. The video was compiled from two shows Randy and his band played in Vancouver last April. I had an opportunity to attend, but was on the opposite side of the country. The people who did attend look like they had a great time. The show starts with Bachman's last hit. Recorded originally in two versions with Neil Young on guitar and vocals, 'Prairie Town' is a history of Bachman, the Guess Who, Neil & the Squires, and the development of a rock scene in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

On December 12, 2014, at the historic Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles, Melissa Etheridge played the final night of her national This Is M.E. tour. The show featured Melissa and her band in top form, performing new songs from her thirteenth studio album This Is M.E. such as "Take My Number ", and "A Little Bit of Me ", as well as classic hits including "Come To My Window ", "I'm The Only One ", and "Like The Way I Do ",. This set features two songs which were performed exclusively at this tour stop ("Chrome Plated Heart ", and "Ruins "), and features special guests Delta Rae.

Recorded At "Harmonie" (Bonn/Germany) During The Rockpalast Crossroads Festival, on 23.03.2004.
