Sam Cooke: A Change is Gonna Come.
Play both vids together, Obama Victory Speech and Sam Cooke. Listen to at least the first 45 secs of Obama.
It isn't necessary to watch this whole thing. It's here for documentation.
There's more good stuff below, so listen up to 2:15 secs. This speech is quite a long one and will always be here on this site if you feel you want to view it. You can let Seal play out while you look at the pics.

Because this concert took place in a Guerilla setting, the following video selections are songs from the setlist, but the locations are worldwide.
Aerosmith: Japan (2002) Love In An Elevator
A little shout out to Japan! Stephen Tyler is my new hero. He officially is the baddest mother- fucker I have ever seen. He does a lovely little Beatles' Lady Madonna near the end. The live rock occurring on this stage between these 5 dudes is mystical.
UN-believably great live number. This crowd makes me float!
By the way, here's an interesting factoid: the band has 3 brothers in it: Andrew Farriss on keys, Tim Farriss on drums, and Tim Farriss on lead guitar. Michael Hutchence and Gary Garry Beers (bass) were in close high schools, in bands with the brothers. If you haven't viewed the Sydney tour, I highly suggest watching the docu at the very end, about this particular concert (X) at Wembley.
Buffalo Springfield: Televised (1967) For What Its Worth
Buffalo Springfield: Televised (1967) For What Its Worth
R.E.M.: Zurich (2008) Its The End Of The World
Introduction really makes this footage wonderful.
The Who: Philadelphia (1973) Won't Get Fooled Again
Rage Against The Machine: Rock AM Ring Festival:Frankenstadion in Nürnberg, Germany (1994) Killing in the Name
Quite possibly the sexiest footage of aggressive rock I've seen. The energy is absolutely ridiculously charged. This song was released in 1992, so this footage has near the energy of its release.. KOOL.
Pearl Jam: George, Washington at the The George (2006) I Won't Back Down
Bruce Springsteen: Barcelona (2002) My City of Ruins
Pearl Jam: George, Washington at the The George (2006) I Won't Back Down
WE ARE PLAYING HERE AT POINT...
Bruce Springsteen: Change Rocks Obama Rally: Philidelphia (Oct 2008) This Land is Your Land

Bruce Springsteen: New York City (date?) Born in the USA
We all know the classic 1984 live version of Born in the USA
This isn't that...

Waterfalls. Just waterfalls.

U2 featuring Mary J. Blige: Waterbeach, Salvation Army (2005): Unite for Katrina: One
