I was privileged to see The Beatles live at Dodger Stadium in 1966. I found this video, which, while having a terrible picture and audio, is pretty faithful to what I saw and heard.


Another favorite was Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer and Boots Randolph together at the Theater In The Round in Bountiful, Utah in 1968. No videos for that, or for Gordon Lightfoot in 1977 or Stephen Stills in 1989.

I've never been to a concert at a truly great performing hall, and at this point probably never will.

The thread may have been started long ago but I was referring to the fact that Dowly and Aktungbby worked to try to re-establish a musical thread after it had been spammed .

I regret that the Beatles were before my time and have only seen them on video. Chet Atkins was a great Guitarist renowned for what he termed his " string skipping techniques " All of the ones you mentioned including pianist Floyd Cramer were great musicians and sadly some of them are no longer with us.


Oberon had mentioned some great bands as well. Brian May of Queen may well have been one of the most underestimated guitarists . Queen had some great songs including what many consider their signature song, " who wants to live forever " from the movie " Highlander "

As a treat, I am including a duet of George Harrison with Eric Clapton at the Prince's Trust Concert in 1987 of " while my guitar gently weeps " in which Clapton play on the original recording with the Beatles. Both Clapton and Harrison renunited for this truly Iconic song. Other notables were Phil Collins on drums along with Ringo Starr and Elton John on Piano. What strikes me about this video is how much Fun Clapton and Harrison seem to have playing together and with everyone else.
