I thought it'd be interesting to post videos or clips and such of the best musical performances we've seen.

I'll start.

Simply amazing guitar work. I've never seen a guitar played in this fashion, and the technique is impeccable.

Loss of words. It starts out as just an amazing classical piano piece, and then it becomes unhuman (thats the best way I can describe it) if you just want to skip to the crazy part, it's at about 2:40 seconds. But I highly recommend watching the whole thing. Especially if you play piano.

OMG those are so cool. I love the song Andy was playing it's so pretty.

And the piano was so cool...I play too.

Ha.
Half the world hates Rick Wakeman. I have always been a big Yes fan.
Most of his later work i.e. post 1980 sounds like midi files.

Large parts of that are "Madrigal" from the Tormato album finished off with part of Merlin the Magician from the King Arthur album from 1975.

Andy McKee is very popular now but I haven't been able to take to his style of playing.

If you like tappers Stanley Jordan is the master
e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHZTyfKseZE

Tommy Emmanuel is the ultimate entertainer

When it comes to piano I am a total Liszt fan

This looks old but what a beautiful piece of music.

re: the Rick Wakeman clip; I don't know which is more impressive - his playing or his mullet!

Look for "Stockholme Syndrome Live Boston" by Muse on YouTube. I can't search for it here at work, but that is one sick performance. Muse amazes me sometimes.
