John Gothard singing "You Won't Get Me Down in Your Mine", a capella, ca 1974, Victoria Folk Music Society, absolutely riveting performance that coloured my feelings for years after.

"Runaway", Del Shannon, first boyfriend, rampant passion and zest for life, still can't hear the opening notes of the music of that song, forty years later, without the old familiar rush.

"Money for Nothing", Dire Straits, same rush, much different circumstances and memories, way too personal to relate.
