When I was a student back in Hannover in Germany in the mid-1970s, one of the student organizations had a weekly "Saturday Night Party" with on average more than 500 attendants. The crowd had two favorites, Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (which I find pretty boring) and Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water". Here is the earliest live version I could find...

 

 

This version one has a better video and a beautiful guitar intro...

 

 

And here is a cover version with a different approach to the guitar solos (sorry, no video)

A unique sound from more than 50 years ago: Marc Bolan and Tyrannosaurus Rex (before they turned more commercial as T Rex). Marc died in a traffic accident in 1977, two weeks before his 30th birthday.

GLITZ and GLAMOUR personified. She may be a very talented performer but I wouldn't spend to see her. I'd go for free.  *shrugs*

Well, this was pretty daring. Converting one of the greatest movies of World Cinema, Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, into a 5 minute pop song. I love this comment: "This is The Seventh Seal reimagined as a Spaghetti Western. I feel the spirit of Morricone in the bells, the Mariarchi guitar and trumpet and the choir. I love it."

 

 

Another daring approach: Have a white guy front a black band (remember that this was more than 50 years ago). However, this works on every level...

Well. the A/V is not up to today's standards, but that is the only live version of Mountain's "Theme for an Imaginary Western" that I could find with Felix Pappalardi on vocals and bass.

I prefer the new version clip. the guys shirt is beautiful but that is secondary. His sound has held up and he sounds great there. First time listen gracias 

I agree but the difference in style is pretty stark.  They still do straight bluegrass too tho.

Does humor belong in music? Yes, yes, yes... Another shining example, Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway (before today, I had never heard of them) present an acoustic cover of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit". While the vocalist (I assume it is the eponymous Molly Tuttle) falls short of Grace Slick, their instrumental skills are obvious. Especially, the young lady on violin is impressive. Moreover, you get a one-minute banjo extension beyond the end of JA's version.

Molly Tuttle is classically trained and an extremely talented instrumentalist.  She has alopecia totalis 

I believe- no hair anywhere.  She does some great work with Sierra Hull (mandolin) and Sarah Jarosz (guitar).

Brings back some great memories of hitting the clubs then attempting to play soccer the following morning. It'll be 30 years old next year.
