I've been waiting all weekend to see the North Mississippi Allstars video performance! I know it will be posted soon but I haven't seen it every time I have checked. So, I thought I would do a post about the top 10 most watched Lightning 100 videos.

Coming in at number ten with 16,500 views on the countdown is Ingrid Michaelson performing Be Ok in the Lightning 100 studios.

In fourth place is a legendary Austrailian guitarist who gave us an amazing performance. He was a good friend of Chet Atkins and if your interested let me know and I can post the full audio version of our interview. It is definitely one of my personal favorites. With 23,259 views here is Tommy Emmanuel.

Before I post the first place blog I want to post a video that Matt Morris did in the Lightning 100 studios for an episode of Music Business Radio. It currently has 26,542 views and would have made our top 10 if it wasn't posted under the Music Business Video channel. Here is Matt Morris performing his song Money.

ok, here is what you have been waiting for! The most viewed Lightning 100 video is by a Nashville based band that formed in upstate New York and has performed a good many times in front of a sold out crowd, even at venues as prestigious as the historic Ryman auditorium. With 50,410 views here is Old Crow Medicine Show performing the Alabama High Test in the Lightning 100 studios!
