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.

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)

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
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

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).

2) Interstellar OVerdrive from Granada TV, UFO club shot, Black and White... edit.

3) Interstellar OVerdrive Live Rome Pop Festival 1968 (no Syd) Colour... rarer

4) Intestellar Overdrive Jam (thingy) From German Programme on 'yoof', UFO shot, clips of both Soft Machine and Pinko Floyd set to a Pink Floyd Jam.
