4. Another of my favorites
Blue Man Group - Baba O'Riley. Tracy Bonham's fiddle work is exceedingly sweet!

7. nope. Not good fiddling. Just noisy and flashy.
I'm not impressed --nothing melodic at all about this junk -- and I've played the violin since I was ten years old and that was during the Johnson Administration. And I started piano lessons several years before THAT.
