I can honestly say - of all the pages on the two discussion fora I frequent, this is the most interesting thread anywhere. Wow.

I can't decide which of these to post, so I said two words (one of which was it) and I'll post them both. I think you'll understand why.
 
Jake Shimabukora, Let's Dance (from a Chicago community access channel show called Corporate Country Sucks.)
 

 
Jake Shimabukora w/ Tommy Emmanuel: While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

From ear to ear on While My Guitar . . . .  
 
Edward is correct, this is the best thread on the WWW.

Graeme; I think it's amazing.  I learned a lot from it; plus, it is so well put together that, for me, it's very enjoyable viewing.  Burns' team meticulously revived old archival footage, bringing it alive to help tell the story.  It really does tell the history of this music in that you can see the evolution over time.
 
There are reasonable criticisms, especially over musicians left out or glossed over, and others for whom too much time might have been spent, and the choice of expert commentators, etc; and some have found the last chapter on current day developments somewhat lacking.  But overall, an amazing work, and a great resource.
 
I hope you like it.

I never get tired of McVie's bass part on this one... since this is from the Tusk tour in 1980, I'm guessing this is probably #27. (also based on that insane slide up to the 24th fret)

Don't recall if this was posted here before or not:

It is so wrong it is right.
Remember to dose with your anti-ear worm drops before listening.
:-D

I'm still on the Fleetwood-Mac kick... well, really have been for a very long time. =)
 
Anyway, Tusk came out 36 years ago today... since a lot of people thought it would Rumours II, the double-album of kinda' strange tunes that were anything but Rumour-esque was a bit of a disappointment.  
 
So in celebration of deep cuts everywhere, here's Christine McVie's Never Make Me Cry. (in an odd sharp for those keeping track)

Aquarium Rescue Unit really tickles me. Also been listening to Geoff Achison.

Dang Forest, that's hard-core critique ^there^ bud... don't hold back.  =)  
 
The thing kinda' grew on me later... I was a senior in high school when Tango in the Night came out, which was coincidentally about the same time I started playing bass. I worked my way backwards through all the albums prior, but it was a while before I got the big picture. I was but a pup in 1969 when John and Mick started their namesake trip, so it wasn't like I had grown up with the classic blues/rock incarnations of the band. I was however, fascinated by them in good ol' 1987 though... it kinda' became the soundtrack for my late teens.  
 
Now, here's a fine example of the small world that is music... I actually knew Buster B. (Brad) Jones, and had the chance to play with him a couple times. Not only that, I'm tracking this coming Saturday morning at Flat Five Studios where a good portion of his music was recorded. The tracking engineer Tom Ohmsen, is a mutual friend.  RIP Brad... he was a monster player.

Listen (if you are so equipped) to an LP of Rodney  Justo on 45 and a 45 of Stevie Nicks on 33, and then tell me - why was there never a Fleetwood Mac/ARS double bill?

For playing something at the wrong speed, nothing beats this. It's right next door to some very modern grooves.

Wow, that guy certainly does has some singing talent! I bet he will have a bright future! Maybe the arrangement and overall sounding a little bit dark but... Oh, wait... that's no guy then? Well... Now I don't know if I like this new version even better. :P Who would have guessed it?
