another_kiwi Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Great thread - I love youtube - can't believe it's still free! (long may it be so). Someone I've recently found and really enjoy is Nick Waterhouse, a new (old) sound with heaps of style. I've got his CD inbound - can't wait. (I hope this is "above the norm" enough). Link to comment

rennq Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I stumbled upon this fine lady a while back and was blown away. I think only Nine Inch Nails fans will fully appreciate these performances. From her website: Award-winning classical pianist, who decided to try something else. Link to comment

thesurfingalien Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Personal favorite! Next to Piano my wife plays cello at the Espírito Santo Orchstra, and she was pretty much blown away by the skills of this guy... I know the original (guitar) performance by Steve Vai, and I must say it is spot-on for a performance on a different instrument!

Sam Lord Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Indeed great thread!! Here's a very revealing, unusual Bo Diddley video. What a great musician: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=G1_FX6rVaJ0 And now for Leonard Cohen at Austin Cirty limits 1988...STILL not available as purchasable video! WTF?? I could steal it, but I refuse! Who's fault is it? Anyhow go to 49:50 for "Take this Waltz"--by far the best performance of this great song; Singers Julie Christianson and Perla Batalla accompany: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DO5pA641EE And another BLOCKED VIDEO that that its owner EMI REFUSES TO SELL. *THAT* should be a crime. It's from "Flight of the Condor", the historic BBC miniseries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&NR=1&v=oGyJ97-aa-A Mac Mini 2012 with 2.3 GHz i5 CPU and 16GB RAM running newest OS10.9x and Signalyst HQ Player software (occasionally JRMC), ethernet to Cisco SG100-08 GigE switch, ethernet to SOtM SMS100 Miniserver in audio room, sending via short 1/2 meter AQ Cinnamon USB to Oppo 105D, feeding balanced outputs to 2x Bel Canto S300 amps which vertically biamp ATC SCM20SL speakers, 2x Velodyne DD12+ subs.

Sam Lord Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Well I'm going to say it here. This is a great forum, but... The infernal 10-minute edit window is asinine. Chris, please deal with it.
