| Whitney Houston sings "Home" live on the Merv Griffin show in 1983. I think it was her first televised performance ever. Transcendental. |

It is just that incredible. Also, it looks like Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang theory on guitar. Bazinga! |

So this is probably personal, but a week or so after Sept 11, 2001, Fountains of Wayne went on SNL and sang The Kinks’ “Better Things.” It was so much what I needed at that moment.

The organist (Anna Lapwood) just came across my facebook feed. The backstory on this performance is cool. People who were there said it was out of body amazing when the organ started. Here's a side by side so you can see her plus the reaction of the crowd. I might start listening to this music more (Bonobo).

Whoever put these two together is genius. You can see the respect they have for each other on stage.

I like the Hamilton performances that were done at the White House. Like the one when Lin Manuel first performed Alexander Hamilton at the White House poetry jam when he was conceptualizing at people were laughing about the idea of a rap about a Founding Father…

Chris Jackson forever. I'm silly, I thought sitting under your own vine and fig tree was just relaxing in old age but it is a bible verse which makes me see LMM's genius even more. |

So glad this thread was revived- I’ve had fun listening (and crying) to all of these suggestions. Kelly Clarkson’s was incredibly moving.
I stumbled upon Sara Bareilles’ concert with the NSO at the Kennedy Center recently. Once Upon Another Time just blew me away. https://youtu.be/7oZ9u6_Okk8 |
