Ok, here's a potpurri of musical styles à la Mila:

Lamomali: Manitoumani > short one

Lamomali is a project by French rock musician Matthieu Chedid in collaboration with various Malian artists, esp. singer-songwriter Fatoumata Diawara, the great kora player Toumani Diabaté and his son Sidiki Diabaté.- There is a longer version of the same song, but I prefer this one, esp. the video.

[Max Raabe & Palast Orchester: Küssen kann man nicht alleine] out of competiton


M.R. is a German musician and band leader. His music is strongly inspired by German-language Schlager and chansons from the 1920s and 1930s, accompanied by humorous and witty lyrics. The title of this song translates to 'You Cannot Kiss by Yourself'. Here Raabe is joined by German singer Namika. English Lyrics

Sara Renar: Jesen > short one

S.R. is a singer-songwriter from Zagreb, Croatia. Her music style can be described as experimental/indie/pop mixing subtle melodies with electronic and theatrical elements. English song title: Autumn/Fall.

__________________________________

I might replace the first song with this one:.

Arthur Hnatek Trio: Monotonous > long one

A.H. is a young emerging Swiss jazz musician. He has performed at La Cigale (Paris), Berghain Kantine in Berlin or Montreux Jazz Festival to name just a few.- The video was filmed during a sunrise concert at Les Aubes festival in Geneva (July 2020).- This is a calm, meditative piece that fits nicely the atmosphere of the venue, located on the shore of Lake Geneva.- The title of the piece is somewhat misleading by the way.

_________________________

p.s. I'm on a business trip atm so I barely had time to look for songs, esp. because three are required this time, also in different lengths. I realise that I am not the only person here who had some difficulties with this :P

One of my favorite rock bands is Cheap Trick. I have only seen them live once and it was at a low point in their career when they were playing county fairs. Still, great to see live.

Cheap Trick - Southern Girls



These ladies I have mentioned before in these polls, including a live instrumental. Their live performances are great as the playing is tight and the enthusiasm appears genuine. Hard to pick one. Enthusiastic audience and possibly the happiest drummer on the planet.

Band-Maid - Play



Finally, a band I have mentioned but nominated before. This is a recent video from the World Music Expo, so I know I haven't shown it before.

Dongyang Gozupa - Cycle

Thanks Christian.

Anyway, I've founded this one: it's better.

I just thought that out of competition I share this one with you. A friend from my hometown Hamburg made me aware of this. Achim Reichel from Hamburg is a proper German rock dinosaur who already in the sixties made some heavily early Beatles influenced music with the Rattles. In the first half of the seventies he went prog and experimental, and his A.R. & Machines project is actually on PA, if rather hidden and unknown. In between he produced some nice but rather unsophisticated German language rock with folk influences, which gave him the occasional small hit in Germany. I had lost him from my radar in the 21st century, but actually in 2017, aged 73 and still a local celebrity, he did a concert in Hamburg's most fancy supermodern concert hall Elbphilharmonie under the old project name A.R. & Machines, where he played his prog/ambient/experimental repertoire  again, with improvised elements. Here's a video from that event.

I do. I have a CD of the soundtrack somewhere. I have not listened to it since I got it out of a cut out bin for a couple of dollars. It had that Juliette Lewis song, a cover of Strange Days by Prong, and a song with Peter Gabriel on vocals, among others.

I'm back from my trip and went quickly through my playlist from the 'Back on Stage' poll. I came across another piece and I have added it to my first post (top of this page). I might replace my first proposal with the new one. If anyone of you guys wants to help me, I will be greatful for any advice. It's only about a first impression. You don't have to listen to the songs in full. :)

^ Well, if I were you (which I'm not), I would keep the Matthieu Chedid track but replace the Max Raabe track with the one by the AH Trio. The Raabe track is nice, but the music is not that interesting - merely there to support the lyrics. The other two are much more interesting, IMHO.

^^I thought similarly. I like both Lamomali and Arthur Hnatek Trio tracks. All four good, but as much of the enjoyment of the Max Raabe comes from the delivery of the lyrics, which I needed the tranation. The others are stronger musically in my opinion.

Lorenzo: Great energetic Italian live music there; Italy has so much to offer music-wise!
Ou - this just brings the house down, I love it. And some surprise changes.
Tredici Baci - this is a wonderful song that resonates strongly with me, even though the sound is not optimal and I think I could handle the male vocals better if I listened to this live properly rather than as a recording.
Bruce Springsteen does his thing - can't fault the guy live, much energy and musicality there as always. The song is not for me though.

Kees: Fischer-Z were a great 80s band. I saw them live once probably around 1988 but lost track of them a little bit later; nice to see they're still going. This song is big fun live, although this is another one that works better being in the crowd rather than on yt.
Tetes Raides obviously put on a great show and the sound is also very good. I didn't know this track but I've got to say it reminds me of too many things of this kind I've heard already.
Hildur Guðnadóttir may well be my winner out of yours, although I had this on while doing some other stuff first and I believe this really needs full attention to be appreciated as I figured out in the last 2 minutes only.

JD: Half of this continues the organ theme. You have a thing for that instrument, don't you? I can for sure understand why.
I didn't know Busker. Yeah, this puts me in a good mood. Gotta read about them.
Is She Really Going Out With Him? Iconic version of an iconic song. Joe Jackson fan here, I could well have nominated that myself.
Grand Funk: Not really my kind of music, but this is how a live album should be played. Let the music roll!
I can say the same about Lee Michaels. Pity that these are not live videos - I'd like to see the musicians, how they communicate, how the dynamic between them develops. I'd have been happy to be at both these gigs.

Mila: Nice suggestion of Max Raabe. Even though this is not what I normally listen to, this is a proper one-off in these polls; I don't think we ever had something remotely similar, and the fun lyrics are not lost on me as a German of course.
The Lamomali song has the strongest live atmosphere incl. interaction with the audience. I know Fatomata Diawara well, she is a great singer, and the whole thing is brimming with positive energy.
I wonder whether the Sara Renar is actually live; can't find this in the description on yt (which is Serbian though). This is an OK song but for my taste too polished for a live poll.
Just from my musical taste Arthur Hnatek is the best out of yours; I love this cool understated instrumental style. Lake Geneva makes for a nice background.

@ Kees and George. Thanks for the support, guys! I think I will take your advice.

This might be interesting for you:

As for Max Raabe and his Orchestra, they have a wide-ranging repertoire including songs by Kurt Weill, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin etc.as well as original compositions. The Orchestra is also quite successful internationally, esp. in the U.S. Their concerts at Carnegie Hall were sold out several times. This goes back i.a. to the legendary Comedian Harmonists who are still an important source of inspiration for Max Raabe.

The Comedian Harmonists were an internationally famous, all-male German vocal ensemble that performed between 1928 and 1934 as one of the most successful musical groups in Europe before World War II. Due to censorship and the ban on performances by Jewish artists the original ensemble disbanded after a tour in the U.S.

Yes, yes I do. I would say blame Keith Emerson but I was loving the organ sound in the late 60's before I ever heard ELP or the Nice. but once they and Deep purple crossed my ears I was organ road kill for sure. LOL
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

@Christian. Thank you too for your comment, much appreciated!

Max Raabe: I don't often listen to this type of music either. I wanted to bring something quite different for a change, something with a connection to a completely different era. I explained that to George and Kees in my previous post. My choice was also meant as a little surprise for you btw. :)

Sara Renar: In the video description there is some information about the venue and the concert date. Obviously some artistic video editing has been done in order to use it as an official music video. It is quite possible that the sound recording was edited at the same time incl. background noise removal as is nowadays the case with professional live recordings. The same goes for my other two submissions, esp. the Hnatek video. I'm glad you liked him; he's indeed a talented and promising artist.- Btw. on the A.R. & Machines youtube channel there is an official video of their concert at the Elbphilharmonie. here

George:
Cheap Trick: All tootraditional straightforward rock is not my thing, but of coyrse this works very well on a stage.
The other two are wonderful. Super-impressed by the energy but up by Band-Maid and it's so nice seeing them having some big fun. I know why I love proper live videos.
The Dongyang Gozupa one will need repeat listens to appreviate all the small things done here, but I already see that it has some good ebb and flow dynamic. This kind of instrumental whirlwind is another thing that I like a lot in a live setting.

someone_else: My highlight out of yours is the John Cale song. This is a legendary and unique song, and John Cale's delivery is emotional. I've seen a few concerts of his on TV and online and he really lives his music. I always enjoy seeing him. I wasn't aware that Cale is on PA while Velvet Underground are not, how strange!

The other two are good live deliveries of music that isn't really my cup of tea.
