Got a Favorite YouTube Video? Post it Here!

[OldBoy44]

Hi all,

A few years ago I was on a forum where a member regularly came up with outstanding YouTube videos typically consisting of classical music with breathtaking panoramas. I am at a loss as to know what to search for to find these videos again. A favourite non classical video of mine is "Time" by Pink Floyd. Here it is if you wish to view it -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntm1YfehK7U

Therefore I ask of you -

1. Nominate one or more of your favorite YouTube videos.

2. Offer any suggestions re what to search for. I know I can simply search for classical music, which I have done but haven't yet stumbled onto any combining good music and great videos.

I would like to create a library of what I consider to be classic YouTube videos.

Thanks for reading,

Cheers, :p

I don't know of any sites but I watched what I call Peter & the Wolf but for adults (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdWu0S6f7lk) this morning. But it's just as rich without looking at the video. It's the kind of piece where the performer has to show off the music rather than her virtuosic prowess, however complicated it is to play. Maybe that is why there aren't many video sites for (good) classical music, what exactly is there to watch? ;)

[OldBoy44]

Thanks very much for that DZ*,

I listened and watched all of that performance. Miss Hahn was a fine soloist.

Maybe in my old age my memory is playing tricks, I think the trick is to find the performer of the piece. I just don't have a clue as to who was performing the videos I remember. Maybe I will have to crawl back (With my tail between my legs) to the old forum and re-establish contacts there.

Anyway, thanks very much DZ* for providing me with a fine performance.

Cheers, :)

[OldBoy44]

Sorry for the double post -

I crept over to the forum I was talking about - it is a Seniors site - there was nobody around, it is after 1 a.m. here. I think I should make the effort and re-establish myself in the forum. The users are better than myself in chasing down Youtube videos.

Here are a couple of examples that appeal to me -

Anything from Julian Smith, Rhett and Link, or Auto-Tune the News.

[Tibuda]

My favourite YouTube site is http://www.youtube.com
I don't know of other YouTube site.

Thanks forrestcupp, I got a kick out of the first two, but missed the point about Auto-Tune the News- That is probably just me though.

I guess I was asking for that Tibuda -

The point of Auto-Tune the News is that they take real news clips and autotune their voices so it sounds like they're singing. Some are funnier than others. A couple of their funny ones are The Bed Intruder Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw&feature=sh_e_top&list=SL) and the Backin Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjYSERaXEGI&feature=sh_e_sl&list=SL) song. Just keep in mind that these people weren't singing in the interviews.

Another one I love on YouTube is Andy McKee. He is a maestro on the guitar. He can make it sound like about 3 or 4 people playing at the same time.

[Macskeeball]

Aussiebean, I think you mean YouTube videos not YouTube sites. All the examples you give are just individual videos, not even channels or playlists, etc. Calling these "sites" is just confusing people.

I got the DVD called "Pulse" by Pink Floyd. Best thing ever. Google it.

That is what music is all about. As opposed to the crap they play on the radio lately.

Pulse part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV6PKfzkbeo)

Part 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEweoQMM_WM&feature=watch_response_rev)

That was in 1994, 9 years after Roger Waters left. Pink Floyd isn't Pink Floyd without Roger Waters. ;)

Endless Video is my favorite Youtube site.

Yes you are right Macskeeball, I made a big blue there! :(

And forrestcupp, I agree with your comments about Roger Waters who thankfully is still touring.

Edit - I think I will mark this thread as solved and open a new thread. (due to the confusion of name)
Many thanks to those who have contributed!

[OldBoy44]

Hi all,

Having made a blunder with the previous Title, I decided to create a new thread.

If you have a favorite YouTube video, post it or nominate the artist here!

As a starting point, I will nominate the little Aussie songstress Kylie Minogue who continues to slay them all at her concerts. For a cheeky preview look here -

Thanks again to the contributors of the previous thread, I have kept all your nominations to peruse at my leisure.

Cheers, ;)

[overdrank]

Threads merged :)

[BigCityCat]

I got one I think its very funny but it will definitely cause a stir.

I thoroughly concur forrestcupp,

I am glad to see the threads were merged so to retain posts of first thread!

Cheers, :)

[nzjethro]

I thoroughly concur forrestcupp,


As do I. Andy McKee is a fantastic guitarist.

As for my favourite youtube video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FavUpD_IjVY is quite good. I saw it for the first time, and have been laughing about it since.

[Legendary_Bibo]

Law Abiding Engineer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjGrHBpfqCo) - It's basically Law Abiding Citizen with the TF2 characters in it, and it's really well done.

He made The Demo Knight also, I'm going to check that out now.

Skyrim (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9eGtyqz4gY&feature=feedlik)

It's a funny animation that's really well done about the announcement of Skyrim.

<--- I've seen a lot of awesome videos related to my avatar, but I doubt anyone here would want to see them.

I like the part where the calf is standing on the back of another cow. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I actually saw a baby goat standing on the back of a big goat. I've never seen anything like it before.

Pink Floyd wasn't Pink Floyd after Roger Waters assumed full control and started using the other members as his backing band.....

.....although The Wall has it's moments.

I disagree. I think their best work was after that happened. But that's opinion.

This has to be one of my favourites so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pa9x9fZBtY

As was what I posted, and I saw him perform The Wall last month. Sadly, not the show in which the other two surviving members appeared.

But we're going off topic.

Here is a video I like:

[forrestcupp]

I like a good mashup, like The Final Teen Spirit Mashup (Nirvana vs. Europe). (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr06IyWMf4Y)

There are some mashups that are horrible, but this is a good one.

[odiseo77]

I don't think I have one single favourite video on youtube, but lately, I've been watching this one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTEWlSTQ1RI) over and over again... I love the music and the images (it's "Time flies" by Porcupine Tree).

[Poor Android]

Personal favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KsePLeLn0U

Kyle Landry is the pianist and Josh Chiu is the violinist. They have been doing a fair amount of collaborative work as of late. Best viewed in HD (as are most things).If you're interested to hear more, then I'd suggest following the links provided in the video description. :)

[forrestcupp]

AC/DC vs Ghostbusters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiH1wNmZTII&NR=1) is pretty good.

AC/DC vs Ghostbusters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiH1wNmZTII&NR=1) is pretty good.

Right on forrestcupp - Proud to say AC/DC originated in Aus -

Here's a good track from Angus and the boys -

Not entirely appropriate, but it made me laugh a few times.

I was wondering when that would happen. If no one was going to do it soon, I was about to do that. :)

NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

That's pretty cool. I favorited that one so I can go back and watch it all when I have time. It's kind of weird seeing actual people from that time period.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm_n3hg-Gbg

;-)Yeah, that's pretty hilarious. But I saw him in an interview once, and he's totally serious. I don't think he's trying to be humorous at all. In the interview, he kind of had the attitude that he should be treated like a big celebrity.

[haqking]

this could go on for years...LOL

For the guitar players out there, Alejandro Silva's Intro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ImYsLL8l3U&feature=channel_video_title)

Very clean sweep picking guitar solo


:)

[darrenn]

My favorite is at an oasis concert where the lead singer gets thrown off the stage. The band continues the song without him and the crowd sings along.

I've been following the Casey Anthony trial. This idiot, Matthew Bartlett (the guy in the background), got caught doing this in a courtroom full of cameras:

http://youtu.be/cxVbENsT6rU

This is long but it's worth it. It shows more than I actually saw. He ends up being sentenced to 6 days in county jail and a $625 fine, including court costs. He chooses to appeal but his six days in jail will long be up by the time it gets to that He's remanded but Judge Perry (Awesome Judge!) has a capital murder case to worry about. Matt is actually the third person to have been found in contempt of court in this trial.

Here is a real favorite of mine - Olivia Newton-John is an English born, Aussie raised songstress. Here is her wiki -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivia_Newton-John

After a breast cancer scare in 1992 Olivia has been instrumental in fund raising for her new large Cancer and Wellness Center here in Melbourne. One of her successful songs, Magic, is being re-released to aid this drive. Magic was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts for four weeks in August, 1980. Here is a nice version of Magic -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvfE-Cf9Qcc

Cheers, :)

[CraigPaleo]

I didn't know she was British-born.I had heard about her breast cancer though. I like her singing though. She sounded Australian or South African to me but I'd always thought she was Australian. It doesn't really matter though. I love the song! :)
