early 60s

The Beatles- Please Mr. Postman (Live)

Here they are, the some-what over-rated Beatles. That being said, they revolutionized the way music was listened too. Before the Beatles people listened to music as a form of entertainment, after Srt. Pepper, it was a legit art form. This cut form a show in 1961 is still when they were a bunch of mop topped ninnys.

John Coltrane- Afro Blue (Live)

Live 1963.


Miles Davis- No Blues

Miles Davis Quintet live September 1964 on the Steve Allen Show. Real hipster jazz right here. "If peein your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis."-Billy Madison.


Miles Davis- (Live)

Live in Stockholm 1963. Man, Miles (trumpet) sure does know how to pick em' this is an all-star jazz quintet if there ever was one. Includes Herbie Hancock (piano), Wayne Shorter (sax), Tony Williams (drums) and Ron Carter (bass). For those of you who don't know those are some of the jazz greats.

Dion- Runaround Sue

This is the original stereoversion of the no 1 hit of 1961.


Dave Brubeck- Take 5

From the album Time Out. The first jazz instramental to sell over a million copies.


The Champs- Too Much Tequila

From the same four guys who brought you the original one-and-only Tequila instramental comes "Too Much Tequila." Brilliant!


The Association- Along Comes Mary (Live)

Great 60s psychadelic song later covered by the "Blood Hound Gang."


Bob Dylan- Mr. Tambourine Man

Recorded live at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964. The country rock band the Byrds covered this song and made it popular.


Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues

This isn't actually a music video it's a segment from D. A. Pennebaker's film, Dont Look Back (a documentary on Bob Dylan's tour of England in 1965). In the film, Dylan holds up cue cards for the audience with words from the song on them. While staring at the camera, he flips the cards as the song plays. Interestingly, there are intentional errors throughout the video. For instance, the song's lyrics say "eleven dollar bills," but the poster says "20 dollars". The video takes place in an alley behind The Savoy Hotel in London where poet Allen Ginsberg makes a cameo appearance.
