Jeannie C. Riley, "Harper Valley P.T.A." (Live)

From their farewell concert at the Royal Albert Hall in 1968:

Spiral Staircase, "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday"

Words alone are insufficient to convey the glory that is this video:

Bob Neuwirth, "Rock Salt and Nails" (Live at the Gaslight Cafe)

Another pick inspired by Patti Smith... here's Bob Neuwirth, performing in 1967. Enjoy.

OPEN REQUEST SUNDAY: The Beatles, "You Can't Do That" (Live 1964)

From Andrew in Kansas City (temporarily): 

It's just such a simple catchy tune coupled with a performance that personifies early Beatles: rockstar John on lead vocals, Paul and George with such sweet backing harmonies, and of course, a crowd that has been whipped into a frenzy. It's especially satisfying to watch [and listen to] early clips like this because you can just sense how much fun these newly anointed rockstars were having!

The 500 Club!: Otis Redding, "Chained and Bound" (Live)

Today marks Tuna Day's 500th post, and to mark the occasion, we turn to Maura's favorite performance from one of her favorite artists.  Here's the incomparable Otis Redding, performing at LA's Whisky Go Go in 1966.  Enjoy, and thanks for listening.

Roberta Flack, "Compared to What"

From 1969's First Take...
