Great YouTube Musical Performances

I like diving through YouTube to find musical performances I haven't heard before. A couple of great ones are below. Anyone else have something maybe a bit off the beaten path? Toned down live performances, powerful indie songs that are unknown, interesting covers, things like that.

Heart and Jason Bonham - Stairway to Heaven. I can't imagine covering the most iconic rock song of all time in front of the surviving members of the band and bringing Robert Plant to tears.

Lady Gaga - Million Reasons on Stern - I was never a huge Gaga fan, but this performance, just her and a piano, showcases just how incredible her voice is.

I am a HUGE Black Sabbath fan since childhood, but love this version of their song "Changes" by Charles Bradley.

Totally different genres and surprised at how well he performs it.

I’ve watched the Heart tribute to LZ and Stairway to Heaven. It’s absolutely incredible!
I think Stairway is one of the most perfect songs ever recorded in my lifetime. The song came out in the early ‘70’s and still sounds contemporary today. It’s a masterpiece.
Heart’s rendition is unbelievable. To take an iconic song and do it justice speaks volumes about Heart. Love it.

Stern seems be releasing great performances from the archives.

This is so good, the beatboxing, unexpected but awesome.

Here you go, I always think this takes some beating for a live performance:
