Bands Before They Were Famous

I always marvel at the videos of huge bands before they made it big and the tiny venues they played. Hey always look like children and it’s usually somewhere hardly bigger than a dive bar...

Talking Heads (1976).  I love this because you can almost see it in his eyes during the more complicated bits that he knows how many more layers this song will have some day.

This is my favorite early Metallica clip. They are playing Master and the power goes out. They regroup but the power goes out again. Regroup, power goes out a third time but this time the crowd doesn't care -- they takeover the song. You can see James Hetfield at around 4:15 realizing "holy shit, we are going to be fucking huge."
