Best Ever TV Performances

[The Red Telephone]

In need of some cheering up tonight, so have been watching some of my favourite television performances from bands/ artists tonights. I think these three are hands down the best I've ever seen(and are available- Mary J Blige on Jools Holland in 2001 was/is extraordinary but is not on YouTube) by a country mile...please feel free to add yours.

Soft drug enthusiast Craig Nicholls in full pomp here.

I would have loved to see the reaction of your average Conan viewer when this aired..

Pretty much any TV performance with this guy:

Incredible. If only they were still *this* into their live performances. Different times, I guess. 

[Joshuwarr]

Another Letterman classic

There's very few pop songs over the last ten years or so that I'd rate higher than Dancing On My Own. Absolute pop perfection 

[Toilet Duck]

This is how you blow the f*ckin' doors off on Network TV!

Letterman was fantastic for music on his shows, shame he stopped 

[The Red Telephone]

One of my favourite JH performances was At The Drive In doing "One Armed Scissor". Never a huge fan of their music, but the performance was amazing. After they had finished the cameras cut to a frankly frightened Robbie Williams who was about to murder the hell out of some hammy crap. Unfortunately not on YouTube.

It's a fantastic song. Also love "With Every Heartbeat".

Has she only ever played at the festival once? Vaguely remember something about her playing JP and there being sound issues?

Yup.  2011.  I don't think her mic was working and she wound up finishing early / storming off.

Not that I was there cos she clashed with Queen Bey, which sucks in itself.

FWIW Call Your Girlfriend is maybe her best jam.

[The Red Telephone]

Jeez, they put Robyn up against Beyonce? That trumps my Radiohead/ Flips conundrum hands down!

[CaledonianGonzo]

To be fair I'd need to look at the stage times - but Bob was subbing so maybe there was time to have done both if you looked lively about it.

[Mash011]

Everyone's probably seen this but it's the Radiohead tv performance I always think of. It's a level of ott bombast that they don't usually go for, especially later on, but somehow it just about works.

Best Glasto performance I've seen watching on TV has to be Primal Scream 2005. High energy rock n roll. Kevin Shields in the mix - full on guitar assault! Bobby arse-wiggling off his tits. Gutted I wasn't there
