Diamond D @ The Shrine, Chicago
The above video is from a set that the legendary Diamond D did for The Shrine in Chicago. Using only 45's, he cuts up an amazing stack of classic break beat records. A lot of vinyl heads these days only put a needle to records like these long enough to record them into Serato, but Diamond D not only plays them for a live set, he does a fair amount of scratching, too.
If video isn't your thing, you can download the entire set over here:

Of course, we can't do a post on Diamond D without putting up something from Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop. Here's my favorite cut from the album, with a video featuring cameos from Sadat X, a young Fat Joe and Big L, and more than one dude rocking an ill pair of safety goggles:
