Biggie at 17 freestylin’ on the street corner in Bed Stuy – unbelievable – check out the crowd’s reaction – they’ve never seen anything like it:

Sigue Sigue Sputnik – “Love Missle F1-11″ “Live” in Japan – Probably about 1985. I remember getting in trouble on an MYF (Methodist Youth Fellowship) beach trip to Panama City Beach, Florida, for playing the uncensored version of this song on the bus’s cassette player on the way down to the beach – probably also about 1985. Yes, I was an idiot at 14. Sigue Sigue Sputnik was an interesting band – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigue_Sigue_Sputnik. Gotta love Yana YaYa:

Sex Pistols – “Anarchy in the UK – Live” – Sweden – July 1977:
