John Lennon - Jealous Guy (Elements Mix)

I stumbled on to this guided by some lines of code on the internet -- it's quite mesmerizing. Of course, the piano playing by Nicky Hopkins is pretty, but really it's the chords sequence too -- shifting from plateau to plateau in the verses until the choruses drop you into the valley. Gorgeous stuff.

 

Lennon's original 1968 solo demo (when it was titled 'Child of Nature') here.

Hole - "Asking For It" (sometime in 1993...)

This is not widely circulated (at least, as of now) but what amazing footage of rehearsal of the best song off of Hole's Live Through This. To see the band, especially the late Kristen Pfaff, in such an intimate setting is wild.
