Here's one we don't hear much about being timeless. But in my musical upbringing, pretty much anything by Alice qualifies.

I always loved the Never Say Die album and Juniors Eyes. Now I find this clip with Iommi and Geezer just killing it.
OMG that Rick bass sounds so biting and thumpy at the same time.
Then if that wasn't good enough, check out the other version I found, G N R

Thanks for posting RUSH.
If I had posted some, I would feel like I wasn't adding anything out of my ordinary posts. Here is one that even the enigma that is Gene Simmons does a cute imitation of Geddy while describing RUSH from when they supported KISS in a documentary about RUSH.
YEAH, OH YEAHHHH!!! "Finding My WAY "

Now for a throwback like the thread theme asks for, but a now relatively modern band tips their cap to the great RUSH in their own live show.
Note that other songs by RUSH also FIND THEIR WAY into other DT shows. To quote Mike Portnoy.
"Through all my years in Dream Theater, as the Setlist writer in the band I would always throw in occasional one-off Rush Covers into the setlists...It was a tradition every time we played in Toronto as I threw in “Jacobs Ladder”, “A Passage to Bangkok” and “The Camera Eye” throughout the years at our Toronto shows. We also covered “Different Strings”, “Tears”, "2112: Grand Finale" and excerpts of “Working Man”, “By Tor and The Snow Dog”, “The Analog Kid” and “La Villa Strangiato” through the years as well...But there was one evening in the summer of 2003 when we were playing at the Jones Beach Amphitheater in New York, that I decided to throw in a real deep Rush gemstone to the completely unsuspecting audience...and later that Christmas, I posted a video from my archives to share it with everybody as a Holiday gift.I think with Neil’s passing it seems like a timely time to re-share this DT rarity from my archives as a tribute to our biggest influences and our fallen hero...here is DT’s 2003 rendition of Rush’s 1975 classic deep cut: The Necromancer."
**** See if you guys recognize the surprise at the end. Another song from another band and time, to leave us another legacy cut.

I would like to start with 2 unreal performances that happened when I was roughly 4-6 years old.
Little would I know that my entire life would be influenced by the talent and skills of such players as Carmine Appice, Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, John Entwhistle and even Roger Daltry with his singing.
Many of us who are old enough know of the reputation of Moon as such a force on drums, and we all know of the huge catalog of songs/ bands that Carmine Appice played for. But, what impressed me most about Carmine was just how sick his playing was on a 4-piece kit in this clip, and then he freaking gets into the act on Vocals. Mad props for one of my favorite drummers of all time. Carmine Appice.
Also, whenever I think of the Epitome of LIVE albums, I think of The WHO Live at Leeds. The WHO flat out BLAST it wide open with Youmg Man Blues. The soundtrack of my youth for sure. BOMBAST at its finest. Entwhistle like no bass player ever or since. I listen in disbelief.
