i wanna know what are your favorite ones.

could be anywhere from the beatles/elvis/mj- to american idol performances.

this would be a interesting topic


mine most likely from MJ is NOT motown 25, or MSG30 for that matter. it was the 1995 MTV awards.

It was the first time in a long time he performed on television { plus the allegations 2 years before} alot of people did not know how it was going to be, or did not know the audience's reaction {to make sure they put a fake live audience track on tv to cover up any boo's or jeers- There WEREN'T ANY!}

MIKE tore it up from beginning to end. going through his greatest hits and an updated version of Dangerous finishing off with a {disapointingly lipsynched} You ARE NOT ALONE.

All together one of the longest performances on mtv awards ever. but great nonetheless.

nexxxxxt!

Dude walked out with lisa 8 months after the allegations were setteled and got a semi standing O for just walking out on stage. In fact I can't remember MJ not getting a standing O at any award show after Motown 25.

MTV 95 was lame.

The Best Dangerous Performance was on the AMA's in 93. That's when that routine was still fire... http://media.putfile.com/Movie6876

hands down the huxtables singing "Night Time Is The Right Time".

i semi-agree about the last part tho
the WHOLE song being performed is cool.

BUT the best has to be the one he did during the MJ&FRIENDS concert in 1999. it was extended with cool ass steps.....

Rudy took it home on that one.

I wanna see those entire MJ and Friends shows with Luther and Mariah, plus Steven Seagal, WTF,

the only good thing about any of the friends is his pop locks in the Bille Jean segments. Actually one of the better Dangerous performances was on the Dick Clark bandstand special in 2002. That shit was still kinda hot.

Nvncible1 said:

Thanks man, I already have these. Did you see this montage I posted a few months ago, one of the Bj clips is from the korea show in 99.

i don't know if its my favorite...time tends to make everything bleed together...but i can sasy that one of the most memorable tv music moments (for me) was madonna performing vogue on the mtv awards. great choreography, very playful, and a lot of fun. i remember it more than any other music moment on tv.

My favorite Madonna Tv moments are:

Post MTV 94 show with Courtney
Cofee Talk with Rosanne and Babs appears

Michael Jackson, Motown 25

Prince, "Sign O' The Times/Play In The Sunshine," MTV Awards 1987

Prince, "Come On," Tonight Show w/Jay Leno, 1998/9

Just a few that come to mind . . .

I wore the FUCK out of the "The Way You Make Me Feel/Man In The Mirror" Grammy performance when I was a kid. That's gotta be my fave. But I haven't seen it for years. One that STILL gives me goosebumps is the Motown 25 special. When that little kid in the audience jumps up after "I Want You Back", I so feel what he is feeling.

I like that one a lot, but just wish she hadn't lip synched it. I'm not against lip synching a live performance at all (MJ's performance of Billie Jean at the Motown 25 is a fave, and he lip synched), but she could easily have sung that with no adverse effects on either her dancing or vocals. Nonetheless, it was a brilliantly staged performance.

Again, I can't say that it's my all-time favorite, but the one that always comes to mind is Madonna's 1989 VMA performance of Express Yourself. I even started a whole thread about it some time ago. Great choreography, her vocals were on, and attitude for days! She repeated almost the exact same choreography for that number a year later on the Blonde Ambition tour. Niki and Donna were excellent as well!

Go request it at Housequake, someone will repost it. That was a damn fine performance!

In no particular order...

Beatles on Ed Sullivan
Rolling Stones doing Let's Spend The Night (Some Time) Together on Ed Sullivan
The Jimi Hendrix & Miles Davis appearances on The Dick Cavett Show.

The SNL "Tomorrow" skit with Dan Aykroyd (as Tom Snyder) interviewing Mick Jagger.



[ Music Open: "Miss You", Rolling Stones ]

Tom Snyder: Good evening, everybody, welcome to the "Tomorrow" show. At the outset of the program tonight, I'd like to clear something up that ticked me off when I heard about it. There's a, uh.. there's a newsman who works at KNBC in Los Angeles - his name is Paul Moyer, he's a local news anchorman. Today, somebody walked up to me and said, "Tom, you know that guy, Paul Moyer - gee, he looks and sounds a lot like you." Well, this afternoon, somebody else comes up and says, "Tom, is it true Paul Moyer from Auburn News will be replacing you on the "Tomorrow" show?" Well, my gosh, Paul Moyer and I used to work together, and.. I watched the news the other night. This guy does sound and look a little bit like me, but as far as Tom Snyder being replaced on the "Tomorrow" show, well.. [ fuming ] ..that's just a lot of bunk! There's no way he's gonna get Tom Snyder's show! 'Cause I know, if they ever threw me out of here, Bobby Brown - and the rest of the guys in the crew - would end up coming with me, we'd do it in my living room, and we'd put the damn thing in syndication! Well, that's that!

Anyway.. my guest tonight is a man who's familiar to anybody who owns a hi-fi set. He's a member of a pop group - The Rolling Stones - and his name is Mr. Mick Jagger!

[ Mick Jagger enters set and sits ]

Tom Snyder: Now, sir.. sir, I guess my first question to you is, sir: Why "Mick Jagger"? Why the name Jagger, what does it mean?

Mick Jagger: Well, it's my name.. uh.. it was my father's name.. uh..

Tom Snyder: Alright. Fair enough, I'll buy that. [ solemn for a second ] Get off my cloud!

Mick Jagger: [ confused ] Get off my cloud?

Tom Snyder: The.. the song! "Get Off My Cloud". It was one of the best singles you guys ever did, and I'll tell you why: I was working with in Westinghouse Industries back in the fifties - not in the coaster division, in the broadcasting division. And there was a unit manager, he used to get me so.. teed off! I used to feel like saying to him, "Get the heck off my cloud!" You ever feel like saying, "Heck! I'm Mick Jagger, I've got a few hit records, I can afford to take some time off and do whatever the heck I want!" you ever feel that way?

Mick Jagger: Yeah, uh.. I suppose I do. I mean, we did a tour that was really successful.. and I went crazy, I guess a little crazy afterward - I put a barbecue and a swimming pool in the back yard.

Tom Snyder: Well, Mick, I know exactly what you mean. You know, there's nothing like a good old-fashioned barbecue. You start cooking up the steaks, the smell of a char-broiling attracts everybody the next day - I find myself feeding the whole neighborhood.

Mick Jagger: That's the fun of a barbecue!

Tom Snyder: Ha ha ha! Well, yes, sir! I'll buy that, sir!

Mick Jagger: Ever since we put the pool in the house, old friends that we haven't seen for a little while, they just drop in more often. Rod and Babs do it.. Eric.. they love to come over and beat the heat.

Tom Snyder: Well, sir, it's a hot life you lead. You know, speaking of heat, boy you're quite the dancer. I saw your show in Tucson, and some of those moves, I wouldn't think the human body would be capable of moving like that! They were terrific, Mick! Really!

Mick Jagger: Thank you. Which ones.. you know.. which particular ones did you care for?

Tom Snyder: Well, uh.. the little thing with your leg, you know? The little walk.. you know, the little things you do, all those little moves..

Mick Jagger: Well, you know, which one do you want to show me?

Tom Snyder: Show me? What do you mean?

Mick Jagger: Well, let's get a little bit of room here.. [ stands up, moves coffee table aside ]

Tom Snyder: [ stands ] Alright, now let's get a wide shot of this - I can boogie just like the next guy! I mean, the ltitle walk.. [demonstrates ] You know, the big thing with your leg.. [ demonstrates further ]

Mick Jagger: Mmm-hmm.. mmm-hmm.. yeah.. yeah.. yeah..

Tom Snyder: Those moves there. Ha ha ha ha!

Mick Jagger: You know, I think you clearly missed your calling in life.

Tom Snyder: What.. what do you mean? You think I should have been a dancer, or something?

Mick Jagger: Oh, not for a living.

Tom Snyder: Ha ha ha! Speaking of relaxation, Mick.. I just do it to fool around, you know? I like to dance. You know, I noticed on the covers of one of your singles, released in 1966, "Have You Seen Your Mother, Babies, Standing In The Shoadw" - could we see that. [ shows cover ] You guys seem to be guys that enojy dressing up as girls now and again!

Mick Jagger: Well, it's not such a.. really.. big deal, you know.. dressing up as a woman. This was just.. more.. a theatrical device we used.

Tom Snyder: Ha! Well, all I know is, I've got a pink woman's housecoat at home, and a pair of fuzzy pink slppers, and heck! I didn't buy them because they're ladies things - I bought them because, dammit, they're comfortable! I don't care if they are ladies garments!

Mick Jagger: I know you don't, Tom - it doesn't surpise me at all. In fact, I still have a little push-up bra, that we used on the cover. You can have it, if you want.

Tom Snyder: [ excited ] Really! I can have that!

Mick Jagger: Yeah. I don't need it.. any more.

Tom Snyder: Well, alright, that would be great, Mick! I'll take ypu up on that! Thank you so much for joining us! You know, I just want to say that, when they told me you were doing the show, I was, frankly, quite apprehensive. You know? I heard you were a little bit of a cut-up, a kind of a hellion - I don't know what kind of hijinks to expect from guys like you. But, here you are, you're a well-behaved youg man, and, frankly, sir, I am surprised!

Mick Jagger: Well, Tom, thank you.. that's nice of you. You know, before I came here, I heard a few things about you.. and.. I heard you were slow, and a bit thick.. a kind of a dim bulb.. But, now that I've met you, you know, I know you can't help it.

Tom Snyder: Well, thank you very much, sir! You're welcomed back any time! We've been talk-

Mick Jagger: Excuse me, Tom. One thing, you know, before we finish up.

Tom Snyder: Yes. Anything at all, sir.

Mick Jagger: Throughout this entire interview, one thing that's fascinated me..

Tom Snyder: Yes, sir?

Mick Jagger: ..is the extraordinary variety of colors in your hair. There must be at least twelve. I mean, there's grey, and black, and blue, and green..

Tom Snyder: Green? Ha ha! I didn't know about the spot of green there, Mick! Join us tomorrow on "Tomorrow", when we'll be talking with a group of bee farmers who claim that Elvis Presley's ghost is responsible for a mysterious series of area cattle mutilations in the Midwest. Good night, everybody!

Queen at live aid

Agreed as far as all the mentioned Prince performances on AMA's (85,95) Grammys (85) and the 1987 VMA's...probably the best ever! Oh the 1994 VH1 Honors was great when he did 'Interactive/Endorphinmachine'....

One that I end up playing every once in a while to enjoy how great she once was...

WHITNEY at the 1994 American Music Awards...she did a medley of "I Loves You Porgy/I'm Telling You, I'm not Going/I Have Nothing'

Simply stellar...this was Whit at her absolute peak. She won countless awards that night (this was back when the AMA's were more exciting than Grammy's) including the AMA Achievment Award presented to her by Stevie Wonder.

She sang her ass off...every note pitch perfect and had the audience in awe. It's very bittersweet watching that now.

Other favs...

BEASTIE BOYS - 'Intergalactic' - 1998 MTV VMA's
U2 - 'Walk On' - 2001 'America-Tribute To Heroes'
NORAH JONES/DOLLY PARTON - 'The Grass Is Blue' 2004 CMA Awards
MELISSA ETHERIDGE/SAMMY HAGAR - 'Honky Tonk Woman' 1994 VH-1 Honors
