As we mentioned yesterday, NYC’s Beacon Theatre is currently undergoing a much needed major renovation. This storied venue has seen a ton of amazing shows in its day, but sadly only a small fraction are represented on YouTube. For this week’s B List we picked out our ten favorite videos filmed at the Beacon.

10. Radiohead – True Love Waits

On June 5, 2003, Thom Yorke and the boys taped a special edition of MTV’s 2 Dollar Bill at the Beacon. There have been some tough tickets to Beacon events, but this show probably takes the cake. We found a video of True Love Waits from that evening which we’re sharing with you.

Seven years ago today, our nation was changed forever when terrorists commandeered four commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, PA. Our thoughts are with the loved ones of those who were lost that tragic morning. I’d like to share my 9/11 experience…

On the morning of September 11, 2001 I had an extremely important meeting. I was running late and I really wanted to make a good impression. My destination was 20th street, but the subway I was on mysteriously terminated service one stop early. Time was running out so I took off running down 6th Avenue. In the corner of my eye I saw people staring upwards, mostly in packs. It was weird but I was late so I just kept running. As I got closer to my office it really started to make an impression that so many people in the streets were all staring upwards. I finally raised my head and saw fire coming from what appeared to be a massive hole in one of the twin towers.

Obviously at this point I realized my meeting had lost its importance. I didn’t understand what had happened and thought perhaps it was an explosion. It was depressing as hell. How were they gonna get people out of that building? The most unbelievable site I ever hope to witness happened next as a large plane entered the second tower. Everyone on the street, who had all been staring at the first tower and trying to figure out what happened, either screamed or shrieked.
