Snoop Dogg, “Falling Asleep on Death Row” [Unreleased Track]

Pavement, “Cut Your Hair” [Live]
You hear that? That’s the sound of Pavement live. Sounds pretty good, right? Sometimes rock and roll dreams really do come true.
Jay-Z “Answer the Call: Live from Madison Square Garden” [Live Performance]
If you couldn’t get a ticket, this full recording of Jay’s 9/11 Madison Square Garden show should provide a close-enough approximation. For the full experience, charge yourself $10 for a beer, $7 for a hot dog, then wait on line for 20 minutes before using your bathroom.
