My favorite?
Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower"
This is not the best live recorded version of 'Watchtower' but it seems to be the only one available.
Like most live music filming in the sixties the camera pans wildly around, either wide focusing on nothing in particular, or going into almost porno-like close ups for far too long.
It was filmed at the Isle of Wright festival, with the recordings of Jimi Hendrix at that festival having a deep sense of forbidding about them. And that's not hindsight: listen to the album.
Jimi would be dead just 18 days later.
