I love this whole album, guys. Along with being an easy pick for "best of 2016," when I look back, I think Lemonade will be particularly evocative of this sometimes bizarre and painful year.
That said, don't let the previous sentence scare you off--this performance is all kinds of awesome.

There was no doubt in my mind you were going with something off Lemonade. Nice start to the week
Heh, I almost made a joke about it not being an especially surprising pick. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else chooses this week!
I don't know that I have heard a single song off of Lemonade (it's been that kind of year). I usually have enjoyed Beyonce, but this performance did not work for me. I wonder if it's this particular performance... I feel like I couldn't really hear over the echo and screams?
Yeah, the sound on this is so-so. It helps for me that I already know the song, but I also found it was better with headphones than on the built-in speakers on my laptop. Coming up with a video took some searching--there are a ton of fan videos from this year that have worse audio coupled with a ton of screaming and shaky visuals.
Yeah, I think I've already given up finding a live video for my best of. They're all terrible from what I've seen.
I would have thought that Florence and the Machine would have put out a live "best of" their concert tour on video.
But good luck finding a cut shorter than 25 minutes.
True that.
How much of a requirement is this? It's always seemed like an unofficial thing, but a lot of good stuff just isn't available.
For a best of, I say not a requirement. That said, I changed my selection for other reasons.
I see it as a requirement for myself at least. Doesn't have to be in front of an audience, but it should be live. More of a challenge to track stuff down sometimes, and there's a whole lot of stuff I've had to let go, but whatever.
Sound quality aside, I really dig the pool of water and the choreography here.
Yes, the performance itself is pretty cool.
Is Beyoncé an artist related to wilco? Should I check them out?
I've always been sort of "eh" to Beyoncé, but this is the type of performance I could shell out some money to go see.
