No worries; between YT music posts that disappear due to record labels/artists/music publishers, etc., blocking videos either because they have yet to wring out the last monetization drop, arbitrary 'territorial' divisions ("not available in your country"), or just plain arbitrariness, I've kinda gotten used to being locked out of what might be interesting clips; I was just sort of having fun with my post, making light of it rather than just complaining "Hey! Your link don't work!!"; however I can now go about boasting I'm approved of by a least one person, even if its only about YT clips...
Speaking of extreme blocking of YT music clips, the Jimi Hendrix Estate has been one of the more aggressive blockers of content, making it very hard to find quality or unusual, rare content; the Estate swats down YT postings of Hendrix content with a heavy-handedness that is impressive; very rarely does a posting of JH music or videos last very long, sometimes even less than a day, on YT; even posters who are either reviewing JH material or instructors giving lessons on JH guitar techniques have found themselves on the receiving end of "Cease and Desist" letters, even though those types of posts would normally fall under the "Fair Use" protections; I recall one poster who related how he/she/they got a letter withing 12 hours of their original posting; the Estate must be monitoring YT 24/7...
The two clips below are actually covers of JH I found on YT of two iconic JH numbers;
Killing Floor was a cover by JH of a Howlin' Wolf song and is the performance arrangement that JH played for Clapton when he blew him off the stage, leaving a very visibly shaken Clapton in shock backstage asking "Is he rally that good?"; the other is
Villanova Junction, an instrumental Jimi was working on in the last year or so of his life and that he would often play as a sort of jam in live concerts, with his performance of the number at Woodstock being his probably most famous; it has elements of many of Jimi's influences like Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell; in fact, you can hear SRV nicking a good bit of Jimi's
Villanova Junction feel and tone for SRV's cover of Burrell's
Chitlins Con Carne instrumental...
These covers are virtually identical, note for note, technique for technique to Jimi's original; much props to the players for their abilities...
