Here are the last 50 videos uploaded to the site. I decided to put this album together to test a feature in the media server that automatically updates albums using certain rules. As I upload these should change to reflect that.
AC/DC Various Music Videos
In September 1974 Ronald Belford "Bon" Scott, an experienced vocalist and friend of George Young, replaced Dave Evans. Like the Young brothers, Scott had been born in Scotland before emigrating to Australia in his childhood. The band had recorded only one single with Evans, "Can I Sit Next to You, Girl" / "Rockin' in the Parlour"; eventually, the song was re-recorded with Bon Scott as "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" (Track 7 on the Australian album T.N.T., and Track 6 on the international release of High Voltage).
By January 1975, the Australia-only album High Voltage had been recorded. It took only ten days and was based on instrumental songs written by the Young brothers, with lyrics added by Scott. Within a few months, the band's line-up had stabilised, featuring Scott, the Young brothers, bassist Mark Evans and drummer Phil Rudd. Later that year they released the single "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)", which became their perennial rock anthem. It was included on their second album, T.N.T., which was also released only in Australia and New Zealand. The album featured another classic song, "High Voltage".
Slade Videos
I found some more Slade videos including what is possibly their first TV performance as well as some very rare European TV performances…
Slade are from the Black Country area of the West Midlands: Drummer Don Powell and bass guitarist Jim Lea were both born and raised around Wolverhampton, whilst lead guitarist Dave Hill was born in Devon but moved to Wolverhampton as a child. Lead singer Noddy Holder was born and raised in the nearby town of Walsall. In writings by and about Slade, the Trumpet public house in Bilston is mentioned frequently as a band meeting place, especially in their early days.

22 music videos and promotional films. There's even some stuff for all you Pete Willis fans.
Paolo Nutini Glastonbury 2007
Paolo Giovanni Nutini (born 9 January 1987) is a Scottish singer-songwriter from Paisley. Both his parents are Scottish, although his father is of Italian descent, from Barga, Tuscany, and his family has been in Scotland for four generations.
Paolo Nutini's debut album, These Streets, was released by Atlantic Records in the United Kingdom in July 2006 and included the singles "Last Request", "Jenny Don't Be Hasty", "Rewind" and "New Shoes", "Last Request" being the most successful, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart. The album peaked at number three on the UK Album Chart and was certified 4× platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It has been in the album charts for a record-breaking 196 weeks.
In May 2009 Nutini released his second album, Sunny Side Up, which debuted at number one in the UK and has produced four singles; "Candy", "Coming Up Easy", "Pencil Full of Lead" and "10/10". It has so far been certified 4x platinum by the BPI. On 19 February 2010, it scooped "Best International Album" at the 2010 Meteor Awards
Steve Forbert
Steve Forbert (born Samuel Stephen Forbert, December 13, 1954, Meridian, Mississippi) is an American pop music singer-songwriter. He is best known for his song "Romeo's Tune", which reached #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1980.
Even though it states that "Romeo's Tune" is "dedicated to the memory of Florence Ballard" on the sleeve of the album Jackrabbit Slim (1979), the song is not really about the Supremes singer who died in 1976. The song was actually written about a girl from his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi, but was dedicated to Ballard because, as Forbert explains, "That seemed like such bad news to me and such sad news. She wasn't really taken care of by the music business, which is not a new story."
The Luckies
I've known The Luckies from their inception. The lead singer and songwriter has been probably one of my best friends for a very long time. This collection of video represents from the beginnings all the way to the present. Having shot most of the video, edited every second of it, I can say without a doubt (with tongue planted firmly in cheek) that besides being probably one of the best unsigned bands I've ever heard, they're also probably the most egotistical prima donnas I've ever worked with.
I had to actually get that in because as Bobbie K. Owens the singer-songwriter always tells me my job has always been to "keep their feet on the ground and deflate any and all egos." When the production company that I owned decided to videotape their first live performance, to say what could go wrong would go wrong would be an understatement. It was a benefit concert at more of a restaurant than a live music venue we had absolutely no crowd control and things get out of hand pretty quickly. I had thought (thankfully so) that all that footage had been lost, not that the band was bad by any means, but that the production value of the video was less than stellar. But I actually did find some of it and recently put it in this album. The first three are from that concert and were what I actually put online years ago in very low resolution.
Junior Brown
Jamieson "Junior" Brown (born June 12, 1952) is an American country guitarist and singer from Cottonwood, Arizona. He has released nine studio albums in his career, and has charted twice on the Billboard country singles charts. Brown's signature instrument is the "guit-steel", a hybrid electric guitar and lap steel guitar.
Brown was born Kirksville, Indiana. He first learned to play piano from his father "before I could talk". His music career began in the 1960s, and he worked through that decade and the next singing and playing pedal steel and guitar for groups such as The Last Mile Ramblers, Dusty Drapes and the Dusters and Asleep at the Wheel while developing his astonishing guitar skills. By the mid-1980s he was teaching guitar at the Hank Thompson School of Country Music at Rogers State University, in Claremore, Oklahoma.
In 1985, Junior invented a double-necked guitar, with some assistance from Michael Stevens. Junior called the instrument his "guit-steel". When performing, Junior plays the guitar by standing behind it, while it rests on a small podium/music stand. The top neck on the guit-steel is a traditional 6-string guitar, while the lower neck is a full-size lap steel guitar for slide playing. Brown has two guit-steels for recording and live work.
