Robert Cray - Smoking Gun

This is the music video to the song "Smoking Gun" by Robert Cray. It was first released in 1986 on Cray's album "Strong Persuader". The album was Cray's fifth album and it became his breakthrough album into mainstream recognition. On it's release as a single in 1987 "Smoking Gun" reached #22 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The music video show clips of Cray performing at various shows throughout the beginning of his career. The year and place of the performance clips are displayed at the beginning of each clip which is quite nice in my opinion.
The song also appeared on Cray's 2010 release "Cookin' in Mobile" which was a live CD/DVD release.
It's a great crossover song, and Cray's solo towards the end is amazing.

Enjoy ; )

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.

Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine

This is the music video to the classic power ballad "Sweet Child o' Mine" by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses.
The song is from the band's 1987 debut album "Appetite for Destruction". It was released as a single in the summer of 1988 and it went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This was the only time the band had a #1 hit on that chart. The infamous guitar riff was done by Slash who played it as a joke during a jam session, Izzy Stradlin picked up on it and asked Slash to repeat the riff. The song is credited to: Slash, Izzy Stradling, and Axl Rose.
It's a great song, and probably the most recognizable done by the band.

Enjoy ; )
