It is one of my top 2 Beatles tunes along with Eleanor Rigby. Both songs were on the Revolver album from 1966.

I was listening to some live performances from my favorite bands today while working. Ran across this performance that I'd not heard yet from Alice in Chains with their current vocalist William DuVall, this was his first concert performance as they opened up for Heart.
Not gonna lie, when Ann started backing up William later in the song, it gave me chills, it was so good, about the 4:20 mark. William does a great job as lead, different from the sound of Layne's original voice but just as good. Amazing performance.

Since moving to Hoth back in 2013, I've seen AiC twice as they toured through the region. DuVall does a great job replacing Staley.

Here's a fun video for a not-so-famous track by AC/DC from their 1985 album, Fly on the Wall.

In 2022 the drummer for the band Foo Fighters, Taylor Hawkins, passed away at the age of 50, unfortunately due to what was later determined to be a drug overdose. During their tribute concert that year, Hawkin's son Shane was brought on stage to play in place of his late father during the song 'My Hero'. Shane was 16 at the time and absolutely kills it during the performance.

Say what you like about MJ, imo, he was one of the greatest entertainers of the 80s decade. His videos and performances were always top-notch.
Scientists explain Michael Jackson’s ‘impossible’ antigravity tilt: Michael Jackson’s 45-degree tilt in the Smooth Criminal video remains one of his most jaw-dropping dance moves. Neurosurgeons, intrigued by the mechanics of this move, recently dissected the dynamics in a paper published in the Journal of Neurosurgery.
They concluded that Jackson “cheated gravity” using a combination of special shoes and incredible physical control.
The patented shoes, designed by Jackson and his team, had a unique heel slot that engaged with a nail-like hitch on the stage, allowing the wearer to lean beyond the body’s natural limit.
While the shoes provided crucial support, the move also required exceptional core and lower body strength, making it impossible for most people to replicate safely. Neurosurgeon Dr. Nishant Yagnick warned that untrained attempts to mimic the lean could (and have) resulted in serious injury, a risk heightened by Jackson’s immense popularity.
"It takes a lot of practice to develop the core muscles, abs and central trunk muscles to get the strength to do it," he said.
For fans, it’s a testament to Jackson’s blend of innovation, artistry, and physical prowess.
