Little Feat: Rock and Roll Doctor (Live Ultrasonic Studios, 1974)
"If you like country with a funky beat…" More live treats with this clip of Lowell George at his dirty best. Country rock fans will know the story of the rare-as-hell Electrif Lycanthrope bootleg and some will know that you can legally download quality flac files of the whole set at Internet Archive (just head here now). However what most won't know is this video footage exists. More clips are available now and our YouTuber promises more in the coming months. If you think good country rock stops with Gram Parsons or Neil Young, think again. And then go here to see Lowell demonstate how he gets that greasy bottleneck sound. Learn, young country jedis, learn!" MG

Pearl Jam's Jeff Avent falls over, makes it look intentional
"With Avent's first solo album on the horizon, it's worth taking a look at the bassist in action. Watch how Jeff effortlessly continues to play after slipping on stage during Pearl Jam's Why Go." TP

Korg DS-10 jamming with a couple of iPhones
"One enterprising artist has already made an entire album using Nintendo's Korg DS-10 and this iBand jamming session makes it easy to see how. Seriously, the possibilities are endless." TP

The Beatles - rehearsing Hey Jude
It was 40 years ago this week that The Beatles released the biggest single of their career, Hey Jude/Revolution. While many have seen the clip of the band's jubilant performance of Hey Jude on The David Frost Show, few have witnessed how the song came together in rehearsals. Interesting that George Harrison isn't involved in the proceedings - he mainly talks to George Martin in the control room. Also notable is the lack of rancor that would split the band apart only months later.

Led Zeppelin - Moby Dick drum track 'before editing'
You wanna hear drumming? You wanna hear The Hammer Of The Gods? Well, sit back, put your earphones on, and check out John Bonham in perhaps his finest hour. Taken as a whole, it's not so much a "rock drum solo," as there's some very hot jazz/big band patterns.
