Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

Kicking myself for not placing him on the first two pics (yea, I'd seen the first before). He was the man!

    Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

    One of the most legendary and greatest live performances ever.  Queen, at their absolute peak, in front of the largest audience ever (72,000 in attendance at Wembley plus an estimated 1.5 BILLION watching live on TV) hitting a grand slam.

    I watched this live with my parents on TV as a 9 year old child.  I still remember it clearly and it still brings me to tears every time.

    This is probably my favorite live performance of any band I've ever seen in a video. I remember seeing this on TV when I was younger. It was a huge event and Queen stole the show from some of the biggest names in the biz. Wish I'd been there.

     

    Magic this is.

     

    I can't name a best guitarist ever, a best band ever, a best drummer ever, and so on. I certainly have a short list for them all though. I can however name the best frontman ever:

     

    Freddie Mercury.

    So, I just watched the above video again for the who knows how many timeth, and was promptly inspired to break out my Live Aid DVDs. Thanks Keyrock. You changed the trajectory of my evening towards a much more rockin one than it likely otherwise would have been.

     

    On the Live Aid DvDs: can't recommend them enough. Sadly the video quality is lacking on many of the performances (it really wasn't mastered well), but the music quality is there on almost all of them. And there were many great performances at Live Aid. It's arguable that Live Aid was the pinnacle of live concert events so far in modern recorded history.

     

    While looking at the lineup a few moments ago while deciding which DvD I'd start listening to, it occurred to me that there's not enough U2 in this tread. So here:

     

     

    Also, not enough Madonna:

    Really, get your hands on these DvDs. You will be glad you did. Youtube is missing a lot.

    And in light of the last few posts:

     

     

    Reached #1 the world over in the summer of '85. I don' think there's ever been a bigger more successful collaboration in music.

    Live Aid was incredible.  I wish I could have been there in person, at either location (Wembley and JFK Stadium), but I'm glad I at least got to see it live as it happened.  I was 9, so I didn't fully understand just how rare and special an event this was at the time, but I understood enough that I knew I was watching something memorable taking place.

    That clip never gets old. I'd say in particular that that was singularly the best live performance of Radio Ga Ga...ever.

    A little bit of SH2's soundtrack

     

    Guys listen to this, its a remix of Goldfish Moonwalk Away. Its brilliant but it is a dance song just so you know

    Now listening to Motley Crue The Saints of Los Angeles

     

    very loudly too

    35 years ago today, this was #1 on the U.S. Billboard charts. It's one of a small handful of instrumentals to ever reach the top spot and to this day Herb Alpert is the only artist to ever reach #1 with both an instrumental performance and a vocal performance.

    Pretty groovy.

    Who says American public television doesn't rock ... Austin City Limits on right now, featuring NIN. Does Austria get PBS, Woldan, if you're watching. It's a real jam, with backup singers, electric guitars, bass, and keyboards. Awesome. Almost like NIN R&B. 

    All Stop. On Screen.

    Obviously this is the greatest music video ever created:
     

    "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.
