Rolling Stones- Sympathy for the Devil- London Hyde Park 7-2013

We look back ten years to when the Rolling Stones were marking another anniversary by reprising their legendary London Hyde Park show of Summer 1969... with a remarkable concert performance of "Sympathy for the Devil" from the same locale in July 2013.

Paul McCartney- Back in the USSR- Hollywood 2007

Paul McCartney's performance in Hollywood record store Amoeba Records in 2007 is the stuff of rock legend...We figured McCartney's performance of "Back in the USSR" that day would be an appropriate appetizer for the two-hour special we are featuring here In the Studio with Sir Paul to mark the fifty-fifth anniversary of the "White Album" on which the song originally appeared.

Paul McCartney- Blackbird January 1991

To get you primed for the upcoming Beatles “White Album” double-nickel anniversary interviews with the late George Harrison plus Paul McCartney, here is a live performance of “Blackbird” by Macca from 1991.

Here is John Mellencamp's live acoustic performance of  "Pink Houses" on my Dallas/ Ft.Worth Q102 radio show 10-1-91. Don't miss the fortieth anniversary interview about "Uh Huh" with John Mellempcamp here In the Studio next week starting 11/13.

R.E.M.- Turn You Inside Out- 1989

R.E.M. drummer Bill Berry just slams the snot out of the drums on this 1989 performance of Green's "Turn You Inside Out", appearing on the band's TourFilm   the following year. Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, and Mike Mills join me here In the Studio…

The Who- 5:15- Toronto 12-17-82

In this live concert performance in 1982 of "5:15", originally on "Quadrophenia", the Who thunders through the song like a locomotive, with Kenney Jones on drums and the late John Entwistle on bass.

Jimi Hendrix- Voodoo Child- Berkeley CA 5-30-70 (early show)

To my knowledge, the Jimi Hendrix early show at Berkeley CA on May 30, 1970 has never officially been released, so "Voodoo Child" is a nice appetizer for the 55th anniversary of "Electric Ladyland" coming up.

Elton John- All the Girls Love Alice- London 1973

Elton John... test-drove some of his then-new songs in 1973 from his "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" album at London's venerable Hammersmith Odeon theater. Decades before Madonna liplocked Brittney Spears on stage, "All the Young Girls Love Alice".

Elton John- Levon- Foxboro MA 9-6-93

Elton John live September 1993 at Foxboro Stadium doing a note-perfect performance of "Levon".
