Broadway shows aren't "particularly moving." They're done night after day after night.

I adore this performance, even as a press event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDDqIxGk9pg I wish I knew how to embed things!

I love this one.

Wow, I'd never seen this. Thank you for posting.

Just incase it doesn't play its Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac (official video). Stevie and Lindsey Buckingham had a long volatile relationship. He was the love of her life and she left it all on the stage staring in his eyes.

Damn. I had forgotten about this video. Simply amazing.

She wrote the song about him. That performance is intense!

Especially intense is the way she stared him down singing "you'll never get away from the sound of the woman who loves you" and he didn't back down, he looked right back in her eyes. Wow!

From the article:

Some concerts go down in history and the 1991 ‘Monsters of Rock’ festival in Moscow was no exception. Known as one of the biggest concerts to ever take place, with a huge 1.6 million attendees, it marked the most momentous of performances for the heavy metal band Metallica. 1991 was a historical year for that year’s host Moscow, with a series of events that ultimately led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and their Communist rule. The hosting of the country’s first, free open-air rock concert in Tushino Airfield was as a result, incredibly significant to the people of Russia. In video footage of the iconic performance, ten years after the band first formed, helicopters can be seen trying to calm the excitable rock fans. In the crowds, there is a surprising site of military personnel, shedding their uniforms and letting loose to the headbanging tunes.

Joni Mitchell performing "Both Sides Now" on the Mama Cass show in 1969. Transcendent.

Peter Jackson isolated John Lennon’s vocals from the rooftop performance of I’ve Got a Feeling, which enabled Paul McCartney to incorporate it into his setlist for the 2022 tour. It’s very emotional to see them “performing” it together. Skip to 1:34 in this video for the song. John comes in towards the end of the song.

I'm not sure if you can find this recording, but on September 20, 2001, the NY Philharmonic played the Brahms Requiem in a concert dedicated to those who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11. I was there and it was extraordinarily beautiful and moving.

Bruce Springsteen doing "Born in the USA" from the Concert for Valor. Really brings home the meaning of the song:

Her album with Chuck Brown is one of my favorites and her rendition of Over the Rainbow is the best I have ever heard.
