Great Instrumentals by bands that have a singer
August 21st 2008 02:25
While I'm happy to pass up the video by Rush, it was the clip of Led Zeppelin's "Moby Dick" that reminded me why John Bonham was such an explosive drummer.
Great, isn't it? Though I don't know how much attention I could have paid in a concert like that, though... Led Zep was notorious for stringing out their songs, turning "Dazed and Confused" into a 45-minute song, with Jimmy Page, high on coke and hitting his guitar with a violin bow.
And how about a reminder of why teenagers love to take drugs and listen to music? Even when I was in school, the potheads loved to listen to Pink Floyd, claiming that they could see time and understood light when listening to the album on mushrooms.
And how could I leave off The Pixies, with their terrific, angry instrumental that makes you want to shred aluminum siding with your bare hands? The AVClub couldn't find concert footage, I guess, so instead, there's this fanmade video of a girl showing us her cleavage and dancing around in a yellow dress. Don't ask me.

I'm now older and not so drunk that I chant that mantra quite as much, but it is still a philosophy I believe in.
Here's my top 5 bands:
The Smiths –
The Cure
Echo and the Bunnymen -
The Pixies – yehh
Depeche Mode
Oh what the hell, here’s The Smiths...

I think my favourite would have to be Stevie Ray Vaughn doing Jimi's "Little Wing"...

Tried to find a decent youtube of one of his instros, but they're all crappy cellphone clips.
Final note--you don't have to be under the influence to get swept up in his performances!
