A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
An evening pause: Its an “official video,” so much of this is lip synched footage cobbled together to make what looks like a single performance. Much of it however is the actual performance, and the song is good.

An evening pause: Performed live 1977. The filmwork leaves a lot to be desired, and the sound might not come from this particular performance. No matter. Just listen to the music.

An evening pause: Performed live 1973.

An evening pause: Performed in 2020 by the National Orchestra of France with a piano solo by Khatia Buniatishvili and a ballet duet by Jordan Kindell and Verity Jacobson.

An evening pause: Performed live in 1989, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Eiffel Tower. What I especially like are the English subtitles, because for some reason this song is rarely translated. Knowing the meaning of what they are singing in the scene in the movie Casablanca makes that scene even more moving.

An evening pause: Hat tip Diane Zimmerman, who adds “My gym class instructors must like this song because they play it a lot.”
An evening pause: Performed live 2007.
Hat tip Judd Clark, who notes that at one point he counted “five lead guitarists on stage, besides Sheryl.”
An evening pause: Short but sweet. As she notes, the performance “turns into a Disney movie.”
Hat tip James Street.
An evening pause: Peformed live 1986.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
An evening pause: A Christian’s prayer, set to beautiful music and performed live 2011. I post a lot of hard rock celebrating sex, drugs, and rock & roll, because the music and performance is great. I post this for the same reason. I wonder how many of my non-Christian readers will be open to listening and enjoying it.
Hat tip James Street.
