This performance of While My Guitar Gently Weeps with Prince is incredible.

- I have to second Prince’s guitar on “while my guitar gently weeps.” Phenomenal.
  
  Also the Talking Heads’ “stop making sense” concert film is very well done:

Melt-Banana at the Knitting Factory, 2007. Melt-Banana is my favorite band in the world, and this isn't the best audio, but it REALLY captures the feel of the live performance. (I was at this show. I'm the guy with dreads in the front row directly in front of the cameraman.)

Off the top of my head: Parliament Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection, Live In Houston 1976.

That's my go to. An amazing show and never fails to get me in a good mood or cheer me up. Parliament Funkadelic is magic.

More recently, The Dø there is something really special about this performance. This version of Hangover is much better than the recorded version in my opinion.

All of the Blogotheque videos are pretty incredible, something for almost anyone to find compelling.

2
- Ooh I really like this one and the Le Lab Virgin Radio one, especially Opposite Ways. So much better than the album versions.

John Farnham - Help. This guy is a household name in Australia, but almost unknown abroad. In this clip, he's just given a Three hour, high energy concert and is called out for an encore. He performs this.

It's a candidate for the best cover - ever.

The Complex Rock Tour Live by Blue Man Group

I’ve watched it probably twenty times. I love the music, the spectacle, and that they are so unique in the music scene, even after all these years.

Victor Wooten - You Can't Hold No Groove

This video Playing Wrong Notes is also pretty great, he talks about and demos improvising in the moment.
