![It's no secret that I'm a Hold Steady fan...the quintet from New York who do Springsteen without the horribly dated synths. It's also no secret that I'm a massive fan of the Muppets, what with the theme tune having been my ring tone for something like five years.

The first video tracked down on lunch break involves the significantly legendary combination of Paul McCartney and Neil Young side by side for Neil's 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart.' Considering the dismal sound quality of this video, the interest probably lies primarily in the fact the two are together on stage. Call it lo-fi though and it's everything you want it to be...
