Ozzy Osbourne - No More Tears


This is the music video to the song "No More Tears" by Ozzy Osbourne. It was the fifth track on the 1991 album also titled "No More Tears". It has a running time of 7 minutes and 23 seconds which makes it the longest studio recorded song by Osbourne in his solo career. This music video is the full length version there is also a version cut down to about 5 minutes.
It's a great song, and one of Ozzy's best of his solo career in my opinion.

Slash ft. Andrew Stockdale - By the Sword


This is a live performance by infamous guitarist Slash performing the song "By the Sword" live on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Andrew Stockdale sings on this song.
The song is from Slash's 2010 album titled "Slash". The album was a solo project, but on it Slash worked with many different singers and musicians (check the wikipedia to see a complete list of his collaborators, or even better, buy a copy of the album, it's well worth your money), Stockdale one of them obviously. Stockdale sang this song on the album as well. It was the first official single from the album.
Andrew Stockdale, singer for the band Wolfmother, sings on this song and co-wrote it with Slash. It's a great vocal performance by Stockdale, and from watching it live you definitely don't doubt his abilities, as he sings it to perfection here.
It's a great song, with a good singer and good guitarist, what more can you ask for?

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Cold Shot (Dr. John)


This is a live performance by Texan blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan playing his version of the song "Cold Shot". The performance is from the "Live From Austin, Texas" DVD which features two performances from the TV show Austin City Limits, one from 1983 and one from 1989. This clip is from the 1989 performance. It's a great performance and the band is really hitting the groove on this one.
The song "Cold Shot" was written by W. C. Clark and Michael Kindred and released by SRV on his 1984 album "Couldn't Stand the Weather".
The song was also performed at the SRV memorial concert. In that concert it was performed by piano legend Dr. John. (Embeded below)

I really love what Dr. John does with this tune. He sort of plays it his own way, in a different key, but he still sort of manages to compose a lot of Stevie's guitar parts to piano which sounds amazing to me. Also the ending of this performance is amazing.
It's a great song, and SRV sure made this tune his own, a great groove, gotta love that.

Joe Bonamassa - High Water Everywhere


This is a live performance by guitarist Joe Bonamassa playing the classic blues song "High Water Everywhere" live. The performance is from the North Sea Jazz Festival.
The song was originally written by blues singer Charley Patton. The theme of the song is the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 which devastated Louisiana. Bob Dylan paid tribute to the song on his 2001 album "Love and Theft" with the song "High Water (For Charley Patton).
The song was initially released by Bonamassa on his 2006 album "You & Me". It is in fact the opening track for that album. Bonamssa has had the number in his live repertoire for quite some time and a live version appeared on the DVD of his concert at The Royal Albert Hall released in 2009.
It's a great song, and Bonamassa does a great job of playing it live.

David Bowie - Fame


This is a live performance filmed by the BBC in 2000 of David Bowie performing the song "Fame" live.
The song was first released in 1975, and when it was released as a single it reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was written by David Bowie, John Lennon, and Carlos Alomar. Alomar came up with the guitar riff, Bowie wrote the lyrics, and Lennon came up with the title, he didn't have that much to do with the writing of this number, but still got a writing credit.
It's a great song with a really good groove, I really digg it.

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


This is a live performance by English rock band Pink Floyd performing the song "Comfortably Numb" live from the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London in 2005. The song first appeared on the band's infamous double album "The Wall" from 1979. The song was released as a single the same year. The writing credit for this song is shared between guitarist David Gilmour and bassist and singer Roger Waters, Gilmour composed most of the music and Waters wrote the lyrics.
One of the things that the song is most known for are the two guitar solos played by Gilmour. There is a chorus solo which is in the key of D major, and the long outro solo is in the key of B minor.
It's a great and mellow song, and one of the band's most well known and really a great tune.
