Yardbirds has always been an underrated band in the evolution of rock.
Sene5,
Although I believe you have posted the more historically accurate video on Heartful of Soul, it's not the most interesting one. I posted the most interesting one which is below. It's interesting for several reasons apart from being in color: (1) it shows a young Jimmy Page, he of his pre-Led Zeppelin glory years, performing lead guitar; and (2) a much more emotive vocals performance by their late lead singer Keith Relf, even if lip psyching. He would be electrocuted to death in 1976 while performing with an ungrounded guitar.
Your video above is historically accurate because the song came out in 1965 and the lead guitar was by Jeff Beck who is shown performing it in the video you posted. In 1968 Jimmy Page was doing the lead because he replaced Beck in the band at that point, although they may have overlapped. To me (and I agree with you) the lead guitar by Beck on that song and a few others was a signature riff of the music of the 1960s and deeply influential to other musicians. Still it is interesting to see Page perform Beck's signature work here (click on the link below if it says video is disabled):

I know rap is not prevalent in this thread, even less French rap from France but it's what I love 
here I go.
REDK went to the same middle school as me, and he moved to Marseille to become a big rap star.
He linked up with Famous pop/rap star Soprano, and made a sick album called E = 2MC (rather than E = MC^2 lol, little gangster nerd bit)

That is an interesting clip. It may have been the last ever TV performance by the Yardbirds and I remember reading it was from a local pop program in Cleveland during the band's final tour. They dissolved a few months later and then Page recruited 3 new members. They briefly continued as the Yardbirds until Page settled on a new name: Led Zeppelin.
Since we are on the subject of Yardbirds, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck, here is another very underrated and underplayed song from that period- Beck's Bolero, which features Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page on guitar, John Paul Jones (later in Led Zeppelin with Page) on bass, Keith Moon (Who drummer) on drums and Nicky Hopkin, perhaps the best keyboardist of that era but who because of Crohn's Disease which would eventually kill him in 1980, could never tour and thus never became a permanent member of any of these bands. Which is unfortunate because he did great work (also played on some Rolling Stones hits of that era):

I’m still trying to picture him actually playing basket ball in one of those outfits
He was really good, don’t think he gets the credit he deserves as a guitarist. Prob one of the best
Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah (live)
1) I love this song
2) He was born in Montreal
3) Leonard Cohen's poetry and songs have influenced many singer-songwriters.
4) This Montrealer represented us with dignity.

K'naan is the same guy who sang "Wavin' Flag" for the 2010 Olympics
He performed for us at the Loyola Concordia Campus. Twas dope.
In an interview, people asked him if he smoked marijuana because of his chilled out attitude and way of speaking.
He just smiled and responded "I don't need to smoke, I'm already high on life"
Did a search for what Queen songs that were already mentioned. Nobody mentioned "We will Rock you". lol maybe because we are desensitized from hearing it so often at hockey games.
I still get pumped
