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.

Aerosmith - Sunshine

Aerosmith - Sunshine by Dihtag
This is the music video to the song "Sunshine" by American hard rock group Aerosmith. The song is off the group's 2001 album "Just Push Play". The song was written by Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, and song collaborator and producer Marti Frederiksen.
The song's lyrics have a lot of allusions to the Alice in Wonderland tale, as does the music video through a visual medium obviously.
"Sunshine" is a street term for LSD, and the lyrics mention eating the mushroom which can have a LSD-like effect. But on the other hand the lyric "Sunshine, the kind that everybody knows" may suggest other wise.
A good and descent song with nice melody that is very catchy, and has a good video. A really good Aerosmith song.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here

This is a live performance by the British rock band Pink Floyd playing live at the "Live 8" benefit concert. The song is the title track to the band's 1975 album. The song is was a Roger Waters and David Gilmour collaboration with lyrics by Roger Waters who writes about alienation from other people. The song is also an homage to former frontman Syd Barret.
The song is very popular and it has been covered by Wyclef Jean whose version ended up at #2 on the UK Singles Chart. His version was released in 2001.
I also recommend checking out this version, click here to go to a video of it. It is a performance by Roger Waters with Eric Clapton accompanying him. It sounds very good and Clapton's subtle lead playing fits the song very well.
A great song and a great performance.

Mick Jagger feat. Lenny Kravitz – God Gave Me Everything

This is the music video to the song “God Gave Me Everything” featuring Lenny Kravitz who played the electric guitar, bass, drums and tambourine. He also did backing vocals on the song.
The song is from Jagger’s 2001 solo album “Goddess in the Doorway”. It wasn’t a huge commercial hit and this single didn’t do that well either, but the album was very well received among critics. It’s a pretty good song and it definitely has a sound that strays very much from what you usually hear from The Stones.

Enjoy ;-)

Eric Clapton - Over the Rainbow

This is a live performance by Eric Clapton and band from 2001 playing the classic song "Over the Rainbow". The performance is from the concert DVD and album by Clapton also released in 2001 titled "One More Car, One More Rider".
The song was originally sung by Judy Garland and it was recorded, composed and written for the classic American film "The Wizard of Oz". It is by many considered one of the greatest songs of the century and one of the greatest songs from films. Also it won an Academy Award.
The song has been done by a large number of artists and interpreted in many different genres and styles. Anything from pop to Hawaiian and more a jazzy feel like on Clapton's version. Also Jeff Beck did an instrumental version of the song on his 2010 album "Emotion & Commotion". This version sticks very closely to Garland's original recording basically trying to transfer her vocal performance into and instrumental guitar piece.
I really love this version by Clapton. It shows off Clapton's skills in more of a jazzy thing. It also shows off Clapton's voice as he sings this very beautifully in his own way. Also the back-up band does an amazing job, from David Sancious' beautiful synthesizer saxophone solo to Billy Preston imitating birds singing on the Hammond Organ. This is just a beautiful performance.

Eric Clapton - River Of Tears

This is a performance from Buenos Aires in 2001 by Clapton performing the song "River Of Tears". It's a pretty slow song with a lot of classic Clapton solos, played with a lot of emotion, in that Clapton style that seems to be his trademark. These are the kind of solos you'd expect from Clapton slow and kinda mellow while still played with the utmost perfection.
The song is very long, and also features a very beautiful part with the Hammond Organ. It's a very pretty song, and it perfectly displays all trades and sides of Clapton as an artist. His singing on this song is also that special brand of heartfelt and soulful singing where you can just feel the emotion in his voice, it's wonderful, just wonderful.
This is a great song, and probably not one of Clapton's most famous songs. It's a great performance by both Clapton and his wonderful band.

Eric Clapton - Badge

This is a performance video from 2001, it's off the "One More Car One More Rider" CD that was enhanced and also contained a video performance on each disc (it was a two disc album).
The song is from Cream's album "Goodbye". The song is composed by Eric Clapton and George Harrison, and Ringo Starr allegedly also helped, but Harrison and Clapton are the only ones who are credited.
The song's title was a bit of an enigma for some time, some people thought it was a rearrangement on the letters used to describe a standard guitar tuning (EADGBE), but that doesn't fit entirely. It is actually a result of Ringo's bad handwriting, Ringo wrote the title "Bridge" on a piece of paper, and Clapton read it upside down, and read it as "Badge", and that became the title.
The chanting of the line "Where is my badge?" was added much later, so it isn't on the much shorter album version.
Harrison's guitar influence can be heard in the interlude, it resembles Harrison's playing on the Beatles song "Here Comes The Sun", but without the capo and at a lower pitch.

A great song and performance, enjoy ; )
