I'd say I love the clips Peter Gabriel made during the 80s, in particular for "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time". Genesis - "Land of confusion" is funny too. But I have to say my favorite remains the clip for "Sober" from Tool - it's damn original and fits well with the depressive song. ------------- Destiny... Infinity... Eternity... |

I always have been very impressed by ELP their performance with the Fanfare For The Common Man video clip, recorded in the Montreal Olympic Stadium: the three members (breathing cold air) with their sunglasses, fur coats, the layers of snow and especially Emerson his playing on the sensational Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer ("the Dream Machine"). I am glad that it is included on the Beyond The Beginning Box, I often watch is  !

If your sharp enough you'll notice that there is a big clock in the background and you can see how most of the song was recorded all over the place, one minute its one o clock next it's nine (figures not accurate) ------------- My computer's broke |

I also love the sober video, every clip of Tool is awesome, but they are not prog-related! -------------  |

Kate Bush's Experiment IV is superb, IMO

Check out youtube.com. Do a search for Pink Floyd; I don't know if this particular clip is on there, but there are TONS of Floyd clips there, and I think I remember seeing an old vid of Interstellar Overdrive. EDIT: I looked through there and did a search for Interstellar Overdrive. Didn't find anything, but I know I've seen old clips of IO on P2P networks. You might wanna check there. Still do check out youtube though as there are a lot of very good old Floyd clips; you won't be disappointed.

| Hello Rust, you can buy the DVD (Live In London?, also reviewed on this site) from early Floyd that contains the Interstellar Overdrive version including Syd Barrett his mindblowing riff! |

Yeah it's a fun clip that shows prog at the peak of its pomp, albeit a mimed performance. Of course by this point in their career, it wasn't just the weather that was frosty... The Pink Floyd clip of 'Interstellar Overdrive' was filmed in 1966 I believe in a recording studio, alongside a boring track called 'Nick's Boogie'. That is the most famous clip of the track I know of anyway... A clip I saw of a performance of 'Ritual' with the percussion heavy climax and flashing lights was pretty amazing; sadly this was a very brief excerpt for a documentary however...

| I just checked, you can download two great dvd's with the song Interstellar Overdrive from the Internet entitled Live Antology and Rare Live And Studio (including very bootleg but unique scenes from the Animals tour). |

| On a related note... DimeADozen.org, yeeshkul.com, and thetradersden.org are all fantastic sites for finding bootleg recordings like the ones described by hawkbrock. I have many, many Floyd boots, and quite a few boots by other bands as well. Of course, you'll need a Bit Torrent application to download the shows. I suggest Azureus. |

"Ashes" from Pain Of Salvation. The video is very dark, with every detail taken to a next step. "Parabola" - Tool. Probably my favorite video from them, otherwise, Adam Jones is one of the best directors, his vision is insane and at the same time so beautiful... Just watch the special efects he uses at the end of the song, where a (leaf?) turns into flame and shows the human body in every detail. ------------- Progressive music, a kind of life. |

If you weren't there at the time the Sledgehammer video by Peter Gabriel was so revolutionary that even Grandpa and Grandma were encouraged to see it for themselves. It was a cultural phenomenon and it was a landmark in that it incorporated ideas from outside of the claustrophobic MTV box, opening up a whole new arena for artistic and challenging video producers to explore. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |
