Pere Ubu Breath August 18, 1989
A little jarring to see a band as weird as avant-punks Pere Ubu playing a song this conventionally satisfying; take out those fluttering UFO synths in the background, and "Breath" could practically

Eddie Vedder's set-climbing and stage-diving were an integral part of Pearl Jam's early stage antics, establishing him as a man of the people and giving the band's sets a climax that left both and audience

Biggie Smalls Bed-Stuy Freestyle June 15, 1989
The most commanding voice in rap just as he was hitting his stride — already funny as shit, too. But his overarching, smooth-suited presence hadn't formed yet, so what we're seeing is the pre-Myth Biggie,

Nirvana at Reading August 30, 1992
Nirvana's MTV Unplugged appearance is great and rightfully beloved and all that, but it also plays into the tragic narrative that haunts the band, with moments of beauty and humor but also an overwhelming

Nina Simone Feelings July 3, 1976
Morris Albert's 1975 easiest-of-listening hits "Feelings" hardly seems like an obvious choice of covering for a song reinterpreter as substantive as Nina Simone, but goddamn if the legendary

Mötley Crüe Tommy Lee Drum Solo October 15, 1987

Yes, 1965 is pretty early to even be considering anything proto-punk, but it's hard to know what else to consider The Monks' '65 visit to German television. The group of American GI ex-pats spend a little
