I drop in just once in awhile.
Robert, have you ever heard of "Mc Guffey Lane"?
Try "Green Country Mountains", "People Like You" or "Long Time Lovin' You".
If you like that Pure Prarie League stuff.

No, but I'll check them out.
Genre is not critical, although I do have a bias towards rhythm and blues, maybe unusual considering 10 years formal jazz guitar and music instruction during my childhood and adolescent years.
I look for live performances that are, in order of importance...
1) Played con passione.
2) Played with outstanding skills.
3) Extremely well written.
4) Archival value.

Sonny Boy Williamson I'm A Lonely Man 1963
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EiqNjdBkdo
Alien piano riff at 2:45 possibly inspired the outro of Jerry Garcia's Twilight Zone.

Some Madison Blues for my Wisconsin friend....

Elmore James is a nice segue between Sonny Boy Williamson and J.B. Lenoir in this Chicago blues trifecta.

Allman Brothers Band Ramblin' Man 1972
The audio is very thin- EQ so that the bass is bumped and the middle cut around 4k.

Nine days after this performance, while riding his ’67 Triumph, Berry Oakly tagged a city bus in macon Georgia, about 3 blocks from where Duane Allman drove his Harley into the back corner of a flat bed truck a year earlier.

(Although performed here in 11-72, Ramblin' Man wasn't released until 8-73)
I can sit and listen to Neil solo all day long....In fact, I think I will...

If I remember correctly, it's not just Young, but all of the boys, that is, CSNY, right? Maybe Saint Cecilia is watching over us because as I was searching for an unrelated music video last Friday, "Almost Cut My Hair" popped up out of nowhere in a sidebar.
Crosby sings powerfully with body and soul, while his bandmates prove that the whole is sometimes greater than the sum of its parts.

Your gray matter is still working well. CSNY is on my very short list of harmonizing bands I really like. "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" is one of my favorites, sans Young. Some other greats I like are The Eagles and the Everly Brothers. Right behind the Beatles though, I like The Beach Boys. ( Pet Sounds is an awesome album, ahead of it's time, at the time of release.) Here they are doing " Good Vibrations"...

They have some really freaky (meaning I don't like it) reverb/delay going on right before the 3:00 minute mark.....
Check out this kid a friend of mine just turned me onto. Toby Lee from England. SRV is his main influence, (there are some other Youtube vid's of him doing some SRV songs). But I like his take on this, Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"....

Some white boy funked-up music from Daryl Hall's house with help from Cee Lo; "I Can't Go For That"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yxoob6aPtk
Daryl has some awesome video's done at his home with various artists. Just go to YouTube and search for " Daryl's House".
Jimi Hendrix - Wild Thing 1967
Hendrix riffs recent hit "Strangers in the Night" while covering this recent Troggs hit, possibly mocking his American label Reprise, which was founded by Sinatra.
