Best Music Video

**Tremaine** · 16-01-2010, 17:21

Couple more, was rifling through the collection and found a couple of Live Concert DV vintage belters that are going on this afternoon

Vintage, sweet Gibsons, legends, and tracks everybody knows.

Gary Moore Live in Montreux'90, Followed this Belfast bloke from Skid Row, G-Force (one-off gem), Thin Lizzy (Black Rose), Colosseum II, and then as a solo artist throughout the 1980s, though a bit morose. Moore reembraced the influences of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, and Peter Green (who sold him that LP Gibson '58 which Gary later had to flog off and was never the same again).

Live in Montreux 1990 features the again revamped Moore possibly at the height of his powers, backed by the "Midnight Blues". Watched him live in Hannover around 1992 and the hall was downgraded, perhaps on the slide even then.
Nevertheles Gary gave us 50 minutes of live exhibition guitar work. And THAT guitar, now a famous photograph for those who even care, rested on its pedestal throughout the warm up bands. Didn't know it then, but that tour was possibly a hiatus,a moment in history, not to be reprised.

Whitesnake, Still of the Night Live in London DVD. 2005. Definitely the best rousing, cheerful, banging melodic metal video production ever made by a Band. Review better than I could write:

"This DVD was filmed in 2004 at the Hammersmith Odeon (it's true name, none of this Apollo stuff), and clearly a lot of work has gone into it. Over 20 cameras, slick visuals and top notch production make this DVD easy on the eye. The director managed to have a heart attack last year, which delayed things somewhat. At least, that's the official line.

The band is an interesting line-up, which will please generic rock fans, and probably annoy those who have been fans since the early days (ie Marsden/Moody era). The idea seems to be to use the 1987 vibe as a template.(Which actually WAS Whitesnake at their best)
Doug Aldrich plays very much in the John Sykes mode (Still of the Night/Bad Boys, that sort of thing), and is very VERY good.
Reb Beach (ex-Winger/Alice Cooper) is more of a Steve Vai-ish player in this context - fast scales, loads of tapping, wang bar excesses and wierd harmonics."

'Snake play together very well, and appear to be having a blast especially Marco Mendoza on the Bass. Tommy Aldridge bangs away, sticks twirling, and demonstrates just why he's still the finest drummer alive.
Recommended, if only for the nostalgia, Coverdale's hammy performance,
Milfs to die for, and the emotional aspect of a packed venue full of all ages singing away having a fukcing good time.

Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous, live footage from the mid-seventies, the best known line up, and in direct contrast to the Live Album which was kept in production for 18 months after the tour ended, to "tidy it up". Anyway, any 70's/80's metal collector with that double album in the collection knows its value whatever they done to it afterwards.

On the bonus tracks, John Sykes, the original standardsetter for all who came after him, blisters his way through the Thunder and Lightning Tour.
Awesome, and shows the Band, the music and live gigs as they should be presented.

In both last two sets, there's a music CD version of the gigs and doco's.

Also, for another day; "Gary Moore and Friends". The Boys are Back in Town, Gary Moore in Dublin with some of the old Lizzy crew, incl. Eric Bell bless him. Gary carries the concert with a ropey Brian Robertson and a still fine, reliable Scott Gorham. Seems Gary is a bit self-indulgent, he can afford to be.

A strange brew, a bit like you

Here's one of my current faves - not too sure about the geegee/cowboy imagery and some of the moves (shades of Brokeback Mountain), but Sade is still hot and will be forgiven just about anything for providing the soundtrack to my life in my young, fit 20s i.e. 'Smooth Operator'.

YouTube - Sade - Soldier Of Love

Apparently she's shacked up with a bootie. Explains a lot.

Royal or one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Chillen ?

Great voice ol' Sadie...and very much still hot...I remember her doing a live version of 'Hang on to your love' at a concert - shortly after she'd split up ....can't listen to 'Diamond Life' too often....too bluesy.

Not sure if it counts as 'Best Music Video' - but I came across this:

- - 'See what you think' as the late John Peel used to say.
