Songwriting at its highest expression. Starting deeply personal and evolving into a portrait of us and what we have allowed this shared experience to become for entirely too many, and a hopeful glimpse forward that we are able affect change the in the place by our soul tell us is “home”, for the world to transform it must begin in places nobody sees.

Song starts at 39:04. Band brings it down for an acoustic moment. Great song; groove, dynamics, and harmonies all over the place.

Triumph is one of my favorite bands from 70's and 80's. So many great songs and their live performances are simply outstanding. Would love to see your reaction to Fight the Good Fight.

Hi Michael
Being Australian I have to promote an outstanding song writer from my own city of Perth. Lyrics that cut to the bone and exceptional musical skill make Tim Minchin worth analysing.

Hey Michael, Im so obsessed with this performance. It would be awesome to breakdown what Marcus is doing with this! Thank you

I came across this band at a music festival in Bend, OR last year. It feels like eating meat and potatoes all your life and then having your first Cajun meal. Never mind the guitars, the vocalist is surreal - like Harry Connick Jr and Elvis had a love child. Mind duly blown.

An incredible performance of an excellent song. If you don't know Scott or Frightened Rabbit, you do now. Rest in peace Scott.

You hear songs on the radio and you say ok cool, I like it, don't like it. Sometimes it takes a version like this to realize what a beautiful song it is. RIP Ozzy.

John R Miller is just so good at weaving guitar playing into story telling

Phenomenal dual guitar work especially in the rhythm department. It's just an exceptional live performance if you want to hear a very groovy blues track with almost a jam band ish vibe to it though

The Band that started my guitar Journey and hurled my loved of guitar.

Seminal Cure from 1979

This may just be the best cover of War Pigs ever. In honor of Black Sabbath’s last performance, I think this is appropriate to react to. Who would’ve thought an organ solo was the perfect addition to this song?

Kristian Maatson (The Tallest Man on Earth) performs “Revelation Blues” @ City of Music in 2013.

Follow up to the popular 30 Seconds to Mars video. Chad Smith delivers another mind-blowing, one-take performance that sounds like it should just be how the song goes.

For the dad's.

A monster producer with hits peppering the top 100, Jon Bellion is a phenomenal artist in his own right. After a 6 year hiatus from performing, he's released an album titled Father Figure focused on wrestling with how to be a dad in our modern times. This particular song was written in the anxiety of becoming a dad on what ended up being the eve of the premature arrival of his first born.

I'd love to see a breakdown of this song. He has such an interesting guitar and story behind it.

I was first convinced of the greatness of Goose by Michael's Peach Fest reaction video. I have essentially been binging Goose since and have thoroughly enjoyed the ride and watching them evolve into an even better band. This was on full display at their recent show in Indianapolis (that I attended). This Tumble is off the charts good and goes so many different places, including into the new "Goontz" territory. I miracled my nephew a ticket to his first Goose show (he knew of them because his dad is a fan, but hasn't really "heard" them). He's now a fan and bought his first electric guitar after the inspiring performance.

Thanks to Rick Beato and Alison Krauss for introducing me to this one. For those who think of Tom Jones as a cheesy relic from the '60s, he was a beast of a vocalist.

Just read that although the song was released in 1978 when they played it live for a night in London in 1996 mark knopflers solo at the end of sultans of swing gave the song a whole new meaning with the slow building solo at the end

Back with another Karnivool request - this one isn't live, but after an exended wait (another reason they draw comparisons to Tool), Karnivool are back with a fresh release. Check it out - if ya want. :)

Shpongle is a psychedelic electronic music project from England that formed in 1996. The group includes Simon Posford and Raja Ram. The duo are considered to be one of the progenitors of the psybient genre — a genre combining world music with psychedelic trance. These guys get a killer lineup of musicians when they do these live shows. Especially love when they use this drummer who you may recognize from his Greatful dead cover band Joe Russos almost dead.

Isn't this what we all wish we could do? Tubes cranked as loud as possible and and mastery of feedback. First 9 minute opening is incredible!
