I've just spent a couple of (1200megs in a day!) hours trolling through looking at favourite songs on http://www.youtube.com/ , and its fantastic. Watching 5 different versions including the studio of songs I thrash on the stereo is sheer bliss.
Live versions : Brandon Flowers and U2 doing "In a Little While"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSzCyrbyIYo#, the Studio of same song is a favourite of mine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ydQ6NfxjbQ# , Springsteen and U2 "Stand by Me" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTiFKnLifCU# , and Springsteen's "The Rising" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QdQ2SgfyeI#were awesome. Oasis "Some Might Say" Knebworth and Glastonbury (I never saw them live) also mindblowing. I saw Cold Chisel twice at Sweetwaters but never saw the videos , Jimmy's mirror aviators are classic in "Cheap Wine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad0nXoaGUdE# and an outstanding live 1980 "Goodbye" before canteen scored bandanas : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_x5XUnCZwo# then looking ever so slightly jaded some years later in 2003 doing the same song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLzQeN98Yg4#
For drool factor Play , who? not bad "You can Make Me Whole Again" and Atomic Kitten's to Willy/Mink De Ville (never saw him either) "This Must Be The Night" in 1993 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NlMhB2xzYM# and "Mixed Up Girl" live in 2007 and a smoking acoustic "Cadillac Walk" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJLKw9lGsjM# . Compare "You Better Move On" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn-IeiNuzEk#, (psychotic brilliance huh !) with the Stones tame version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG9p0Zd41cA#.
Anyone got any favs I can listen to?
