Early Footage Of Your Favorite Bands

bogey_j · 05-23-2010, 12:30 PM

try and find videos of bands you like when they were just starting out...like the earliest footage possible

YouTube - Talking Heads at CBGBs-"I wish you wouldn't say that"

I almost forgot how ****ing brilliant the talking heads were. This was a gig at CBGB's back in '75 I think

Some great early Coheed and Cambria footage.

Kind of funny to see Claudio with shorter hair and glasses, sort of makes him look more like the Dungeons & Dragons nerd that he is.

Cool footage though,two of their best songs (Delirium Trigger #1 since I started listening to them).

This old Alexisonfire clip from around 2002 of them performing what is IMO their best song springs to mind.

Tegan and Sara playing Proud live in 2000. They hadn't even turned 20 yet. Great stuff!

Here's some early R.E.M., from 1983 when they performed on Letterman. The song is South Central Rain, but in the interview clip at the beginning they say the song is yet to be named

What a great song. You've just inspired me to throw some R.E.M. on my portable digital music player for the week.

Here's a really good quality video of the Pumpkins from 1988. Great video.

Oh goodie!

The Cars - My Best Friend's Girl. I think this is from 1978.

I couldn't find anything earlier than 1983., but this will do - Sonic Youth, Poitiers, the first tour in Europe (as it says on the video), song: Making the Nature Scene from Confusion Is Sex.
