Just below is a beautifully done live performance by Lianne La Havas for the BBC's 6 Music 10th Anniversary TV special. There is a nice rawness that gets down to who Lianne La Havas is in this performance, that set her apart from her studio recordings. After having seen her twice in LA, she is the real deal live. She's not faking it and doesn't need big production. She connects, I believe, because she's been there, through the pain. She has told the story, at live shows I have attended, as well as found online, of her broken heart that drove her to pick up the guitar and write her songs. Her tasty songs are proof that a broken heart is a top fuel of champion songwriters, yet again.
On November 22 1981, in the middle of their mammoth American tour, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing 3 nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to Buddy Guy's club the Checkerboard Lounge to see the legendary bluesman perform. It didn't take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining in on stage and later Buddy Guy and Lefty Dizz also played their part. It was a unique occasion that was fortunately captured on camera. Restored from the original footage and with sound mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain, this amazing blues night is right here. Enjoy!

Dom La Nena is a angel faced twenty four year old Brazilian born cellist and singer who became a citizen of the world as she has lived in many places on her journey to become the artist she is. Two takes of the same song are below and not sure which take of the same song I enjoy most. Both are unique in their own way and very delightful. The first one below is a fresh live take that the Los Angeles based radio station KCRW recorded in their studio earlier today. It is an excellent stripped bare live performance that offers a beautiful glimpse and sweet recording of this fine artist! The next take is the studio version of the song and conceptual official music video. Enjoy!
On March 25, 1983, Michael Jackson performed for the 25th Anniversary of Motown Records in front of a live studio audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California. It was on this great day in music history that King of Pop introduced the forever famous Moonwalk while performing Billie Jean. The Moonwalk was actually developed by Bruno Falcon, widely known as Taco, one of Michael's friends, choreographers and dancers for many years.
