I don't necessarily think this is the greatest musical performance captured on film, but I do think this is the greatest film of a musical performance:

I've been on a HUGE Bill Carlisle kick the last couple of years, and I so wish there were older youtube vids of him in his prime in the 1950s. That one is awesome, but y'know...

there's one other clip of him on youtube where looks to be about 85. it's funny to see him flapping his gums and doing a little hop for old time's sake, but yeah, I wish there was more footage of him from any era. I have a feeling that his studio records, as punchy as they are, don't capture all the excitement of his live sets.
