By now I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of Billy Strings and Chris Thile for CBS’ Saturday Sessions. That’s OK. You can watch them again and again and still be amazed by the interplay between these two master musicians. The duo performed three songs (I don’t know the order they originally appeared):
"I've Been All Around This World,”
"I Am A Pilgrim,”
"Wild Bill Jones.”
Enjoy.

“There’s a fury at the core of Yoko Ono’s 1973 rock opus Approximately Infinite Universe that was not apparent on previously recorded efforts. Ono has always been a master of turning pain and sadness into art, but here, there’s a clenched-fist intensity that sets it apart in her deep, unparalleled catalogue. Ono is angry. She proved that one can carry a boundless love for humanity and still be furious — furious at male/female relationships, at war, at your partner.”
Notes:
Yoko Ono (with John Lennon) is interviewed on May 12, 1973 for the PBS television program "Flipside" at The Record Plant East in New York City. She also performs tracks from her then latest album "Approximately Infinite Universe" (as well as a track released only as a single in Japan) with the Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory Band.

The Housemartins were an English Pop group active in the ‘80’s. The group blended British Pop, Soul and Gospel.
They were notable for their keen sense of humor; often billing themselves as “the fourth best band in Hull" (he best three bands being Red Guitars, Everything but the Girl, and the Gargoyles). But the band was about more than just humor. As Wikipedia notes: “Many of their lyrics were a mixture of socialist politics and Christianity, reflecting the beliefs of the band (the back cover of their debut album, London 0 Hull 4, contained the message, "Take Jesus – Take Marx – Take Hope").
Here’s another live video from 1986. This one says:
“On December 3rd, 1986, Granada TV show ‘Hold Tight’ featured THE HOUSEMARTINS in concert.
A special live production at the City Lites night club in Farnworth in December 1986.”

Here’s a short (but two-part) film profiling the group. A short profile piece made for TV and broadcast in 1986. Features the band (Paul Heaton, Stan Cullimore, Hugh Whitaker, Norman Cook) in and around Hull plus interviews and live footage.
This is also known as the “Whistle Test” Documentary. I have only ever seen it edited into two parts. And, I mean, is it’ really a documentary? A feature? A featurette?
Whatever.
And here’s a special bonus piece with Norman and Stan “discussing” the breakup of the band:
