Here is one of the best live versions of the Sam Cooke classic Change Is Gonna Come, performed by the incredible UK R&B artist Beverley Knight backed by the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

This spine tingling version of the song was performed on Jools Holland’s Annual Hootenanny a few years ago.

A fantastic performance from INXS playing live on Later with Jools Holland in 1994. Probably around the peak of their fame and fortune, INXS perform Suicide Blonde to the closing credits of the show.

I’m not sure when this clip was recorded, but it features a beautiful acoustic version of Many Rivers To Cross performed by Jimmy Cliff with Jools Holland playing some wonderful piano to accompany the smooth vocals of Cliff.

Jimmy Cliff first recorded the track for his 1969 album, simply called, ‘Jimmy Cliff.’ Many Rivers To Cross also featured on the 1972 soundtrack album The Harder They Come, Cliff also starred in the film.

This is Muse with Knights of Cydonia from the excellent Black Holes and Revelations album from 2006 a breath taking live performance on Later with Jools Holland.

The Bluetones – Slight Return – Live 1996

John Williams — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:27:18 +0000

Slight Return was a great pop song released back in 1996 by London’s answer to the Madchester bands, The Bluetones. Looking fresh out of school and yet able to afford and play a Rickenbacker!

This is a clip from the popular tv music show Later with Jools Holland from 1996.

John Williams — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:28:05 +0000

Turn it up loud and let it float over you, a brilliant performance from The Verve on Later with Jools Holland in 1997. The Drugs Don’t Work is taken from the excellent album Urban Hymns and was the first number one single and album in the UK for the band.

James – She’s A Star – Live 1998

John Williams — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:33:41 +0000

This is James appearing on Later with Jools back in 1998 singing She’s A Star. James had a stack of hits in the late eighties/early nineties and were almost permanently in the UK singles chart for what seemed like years.

Singer Tim Booth left the band in 2001, but rejoined when James reformed again in 2007, although it would never be the same again!
