Lauryn Hill Who's Lovin' You March 15, 1987
Who dares boo 13-year-old Lauryn Hill at the Apollo? Whomever the parties responsible, they were properly shamed by the end of the future Fugee's performance of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles' "Who's

Kiss Deuce January 31, 1975
Not quite the band's fire-breathing, blood-spewing peak as we imagine it — it'd be pretty hard for all that to translate in black-and-white anyway — but a lean, ass-kicking performance of one of their

Joni Mitchell California September 3, 1970
Just a girl, her dulcimer, and the Sunshine State. The instant connection achieved by Joni on this solo performance of her Blue classic is almost scary, her songbird voice piercing through the silent set,

Johnny Cash & June Carter Jackson Feburary 24, 1969
Though it wasn't included in the original At San Quentin '69 recording, the Cashes' live rendition of "Jackson" is well worth a watch or two (or three) if only to witness the palpable chemistry

Jerry Lee Lewis & Ruth Buzzi Breathless July 16, 1983
Jerry Lee didn't exactly make his career on allowing himself to be upstaged as a performer, but he was pushing 50 by the early '80s, and not many men alive could have contended with the nutty energy of

Jayne County Are You Man Enough to Be a Woman? June 15, 1979
Thirty five-plus years before there was Laura Jane Grace, there was Jayne County, the original transsexual punk. Her Television-esque jam "Are You Man Enough to Be a Woman?," performed here at

Jay Z Grammy Family October 31, 2006
Jay's 2006 freestyle for Hot 97 over the beat to DJ Khaled's "Grammy Family" was so insanely fire that they were still playing it semi-regularly on the station over a decade later. It's not just

Japandroids Young Hearts Spark Fire July 21, 2009
The key to Japandroids has always been their lack of structural excess — just two guys, one on guitar, one on drums, both singing, usually in close proximity enough to one another that it looks like they

James Brown and The Flames Night Train October 29, 1964
The funniest part of this clip might be how the Hardest Working Man in Show Business starts out by imitating the routine of his backup dancers, like Superman pretending to be mediocre at basketball so

Ike & Tina Turner Proud Mary Feburary 21, 1971
Whether nice-and-easy or not-so-nice-and-rough, Ike and Tina Turner's live performances of their smash cover of CCR's "Proud Mary" were rarely less than spellbinding. This version of the song

Hüsker Dü Eight Miles High December 16, 1983
The Byrds, as you've never heard them before, with hardcore drums and sparks-flying guitar harmonics, performed amidst a fountain of moshing Philly punks. Bob Mould shouts the melody as if he's never heard

Guns N' Roses Nightrain February 2, 1988
"This is a song that's not dedicated to drinking or drug addiction or of any of that kind of stuff. This song's basically about a walk in the park." As good an intro as any for GnR's livewire

Grateful Dead Mountains Of The Moon January 18, 1969
For at least one episode of the sadly short-lived Playboy After Dark program, the Grateful Dead and their filthy-looking ponchos were deemed classy enough to stop by the Mansion and play a couple songs

Future Islands Waiting on You March 3, 2014
The performance that launched a thousand "But I've been listening to them since 2008!" claims. After flying mysteriously under the radar for years, soulful synth-pop Baltimore band Future Islands

Fugazi Waitng Room December 29, 1988
Pretty much exactly how you'd want to see Fugazi's signature anthem performed: by four skinny, shirtless dudes in a D.C. club, zero separation between them and an audience looking ready to turn their stage

Fleetwood Mac Rhiannon June 11, 1976
Keep in mind, the audience has no idea who Stevie Nicks is. She and Lindsey just joined Fleetwood Mac last year. These people have heard "Rhiannon" on the radio, but they don't know Stevie's

Eminem vs Juice Scribble Jam August 7, 1997

Part of Dolly's charm is undoubtedly her personable, little-girl-giggle approachability, a personality trait she brought to her criminally short-lived variety hour. Welcoming old Nashville friend Willie
