Genesis: Rare glimpses of iconic musicians before they became famous.
·
·
Early performance videos draw people in because they expose a stage of an artist’s life that rarely survives success: the period when they’re shaping instinct into craft without an audience interpreting every move. These scraps of footage - shaky hand-held recordings, college sets, backyard gigs, rehearsal-room captures - show the point where ideas are still raw but intent is already sharp.
What stands out first is how early certain artistic signatures appear. Watch MGMT playing “Kids” at Wesleyan and you can already hear the melodic stubbornness that later defines them. The choices aren’t polished, but the underlying logic is clear.
In Green Day’s 1990 high-school courtyard set, the songwriting is already lean and fast; the surroundings simply don’t match the energy. The same goes for Hanumankind in his early cypher footage; the delivery is composed, direct, and unmistakably his, even if the ecosystem hasn’t widened enough to recognise what’s happening.
Linkin Park
Linkin Park rehearse "A Place for My Head" in a small jam room before their rise. Chester's voice carried the same force that later defined them. These early clips show a band pushing hard long before the world noticed.
Rage Against The Machine- First Public Show (1991)
This show takes place outdoors at Cal State Northridge before anyone knows the band. People walk past without paying much attention. The band still plays with complete focus. The performance shows how serious they were even when almost no one was listening.
MGMT at Wesleyan University, 2003
In 2003, MGMT members Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, as Wesleyan University students, performed an early version of their hit "Kids" under the name The Management.
The Strokes play at Arlene Grocery (2000)
Julian gives everything he has in this tiny room. He sings like the night depends on him. The rest of the band holds the groove while he burns through the set. Watching it now, it feels like he used up twenty years of stage energy in one early show.
Nirvana
This clip shows Nirvana practicing on January 1, 1987 at the home of Krist Novoselic's mother. It takes place before they recorded their debut album.
Dave Grohl is not yet in the band and Chad Channing is on drums.
Green Day-Pinole Valley High School (1990)
Even at this young age they were already writing songs this good and had a great energy as live performers. Mike is bopping his head along and Billie has a lot of energy as a front man. These are the intangibles that make great bands stand out.
Kendrick Lamar (17 Years Old)
Kendrick Lamar is seen rapping in a cypher at Nickerson Gardens in Watts. The housing project has deep ties to Los Angeles rap culture and later becomes a site for TDE community events. The clip places Kendrick in a setting closely linked to the neighbourhoods that shaped his earliest work.
Rush-Laura Secord Secondary School (1974)
Rush perform in a school gym before they become a touring act. The crowd is small and curious. The musicians look focused on their instruments. The sound is loud and unpolished. The clip shows the band in an early moment where their identity is still forming.
Oasis- King Tuts Wah Wah Hut, Scotland (1993)
Oasis play at King Tuts Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow on May 31, 1993. This show takes place during the same weekend Noel Gallagher later described as the moment he met Johnny Marr and turned twenty-six. The clip captures the band just before their rise begins.
Tool- JC Dobbs, Philadelphia, (1992)
Tool play at JC Dobbs in Philadelphia in 1992. They are in a tiny club but the sound is huge and very close to the album version. This is right before they blew up. They were signed to Zoo Records in 1991. This period is when Keenan drew influence for new songs while zoned out on hallucinogens.
The Beatles at the Cavern Club (1962)
The Beatles perform at the Cavern Club in Liverpool on August 22, 1962. A black-and-white camera captures the earliest known footage of them onstage, recorded just six days after Ringo Starr joined. Their performance of "Some Other Guy" is raw and energetic and shows a young band pushing toward something bigger.
Peter Cat Recording Co. at the goMAD Festival (2012)
Peter Cat Recording Co. perform "Pariquel" live at the goMAD Festival in 2012 at Fernhills Palace in Ooty. The setting feels intimate and open. "Pariquel" later connects to the film Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! through its reworked version.
The clip shows the band long before their wider recognition.
Tappi Tikarrass (Björk)- London, 1982
Björk performs with her early band in a small venue. The music has the restless energy of young artists who want to experiment. Her presence already carries a special focus. The performance shows the early steps of someone who will later shape her own world.
Pearl Jam- Mural Amphitheater, Seattle, (1991)
Pearl Jam perform outdoors to a modest Seattle audience 4 days before their debut album is released. Eddie Vedder moves with the same urgency seen in later shows. The band plays with trust in the material.
Hanumankind X Beats Club - Freestyle Rap/Beatbox Cypher
Hanumankind appears with Beats Club in a freestyle rap and beatbox cypher at The Humming Tree. The circle is small and the energy feels direct. The clip captures an early stage of his rise and shows how local artists were shaping
own spaces before the larger stages arrived.
Led Zeppelin- Denver Auditorium Arena, (1968)
Led Zeppelin make their first appearance in the United States as an opening act. The hall is large but the audience does not yet know the band. The performance is loud and confident. You can see a group that already understands its own power even at the beginning of its journey.
Taylor Swift (13 Years Old)
Taylor Swift wrote her first song "Lucky You" at age thirteen; performing with clear confidence. She grew up in Pennsylvania, influenced by her opera-singer grandmother, and was already traveling to Nashville to pursue songwriting before signing her first publishing deal at fourteen.
Guns N' Roses at a Bar in Los Angeles CA (1985)
Guns N' Roses perform "Don't Cry" in a small Los Angeles bar in 1985. The band is still unknown and the audience looks only mildly interested. The room is tight and the stage is simple. The clip captures them right before their rise out of the local club scene.
But these clips don’t only reveal talent forming ahead of recognition. They also show how the world constructs meaning in hindsight. Once an artist becomes known, fans and critics comb through these clips looking for “the moment it all clicked,” even when no such moment existed. The footage becomes a form of retroactive storytelling, used to build narratives about inevitability, vision, or precocious genius.
What makes these videos especially valuable is that they capture artists before the machinery of career-building begins to shape behaviour. There’s no brand, no expectation to maintain persona, no data-driven decisions guiding performance. The choices you see are internal; guided by taste, curiosity, instinct, and whatever sense of direction the artist has developed on their own. That purity is rare.
The irony is that these earliest clips often feel more revealing than later, more elaborate performances. Not because they show a “truer” version of the artist, but because the footage carries no awareness of legacy. That unselfconsciousness is what gives the material its clarity.

TRUE LIFE TESTIMONY , THANKS TO JETWEBSHACKERS +1(763)357-2550
I’m forever grateful to Jetwebhackers for their remarkable assistance in recovering the $38,540 I had lost to a crypto scam. This amount was meant to cover my husband’s urgent hospital bills, and I was deceived by a fraudster posing as Agent David, who promised me a return of $380,940 – but it was all a scam. Thanks to Jetwebhackers’ expertise and dedication, I was able to recover not only the initial investment but also the profit I was promised. Their help has been a blessing to my family, and we can now focus on my husband’s recovery without financial stress. I highly recommend Jetwebhackers to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto scams. They are professional, efficient, and compassionate. Thank you, Jetwebhackers, for your exceptional service and support during a difficult time!
