You Tube is great for performance videos. It's pretty much essential to me if only for the Tommy Emmanuel performance videos. A post from A'goner Dracule directed me to TE playing Mason Williams' "Classical Gas". I'd heard TE on recordings, but had never seen him play. Because his usual repertoire doesn't bark up my favored tree, it wasn't until I SAW him playing on You Tube that I gained a full appreciation of his virtuosity.
This is about as good a pop fingerpicking performance as I have ever seen:

Emmanuel plays an acoustic 99% of the time, but You Tube also features this one of Tommy rockin' out on an electric (pardon the bad camera work) which is a great change of pace:

For me, You Tube is a great resource.
