OK, these really are not videos, but audios. After putting together the Dalrock Hypothesis I was starting to listen to Sinead and Tori and others, and (once I got flash working with chromium again — and in a much more stable fashion) I thought I better bookmark some good live stuff.

Tori is a musical genius. Best heard when she improvs.

And her covers are good. This is a Cat Stevens one. Again, I care more about the audio than the graphics.

And Radiohead.

Sinead, on the other hand, was blessed with a good Irish voice. She can do folk. Man, can she do folk.

A commentator suggested that Eva Cassidy has a good song about the situation many women find themselves in, so I thought I would put it here.

And, finally, Tori has a song about what it takes to commit: she is married to an Englishman and one wonders just how autobiographical Mrs Hawley was being when she wrote this.

I suggest you put on a good set of headphones, and just listen.

UPDATE.

Will asked about straightforward Rock. May I introduce you to some young Patti Smith.

And twenty years after that, an older Courtney Love.

Note that we have gone from sex as a being for lovers to a tool to be used. Courtney is far to direct for this effete period: all her albums would have trigger warnings on them if she recorded them now.
