Hey does anyone know any good LISP (preferably video) tutorials? I have found some good ones on how to write LISP, but I recognize it is a very rich language with many interesting and unique concepts and I would like to find some tutorials that demonstrate these concepts in depth.

Thanks For Reading :-D

P.s I know I can sometimes be unclear as to my purpose/point. If any further clarification is required please let me know.

There is the "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" Videos, which are really old, but they have achieved some kind of cult status, so i guess they are good. They teach programming from the ground up, but even if you have already learned programming in an imperative language they are interesting, because they talk about computing and programs as something that is separate from the actual computer, which is a new way to look at things if you are coming from an imperative background.
As they say on the linked page: "It emphasizes the role of computer languages as vehicles for expressing knowledge and it presents basic principles of abstraction and modularity" contrary to normal programming texts that seem to emphasize computer languages as vehicles for making computers do shit.
Not that any way is better than the other, but being able to see things from both sides is good i guess.

The videos are also accompanied by a nice (and free) book with the same title: http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html

Thank you very much im sure they will be a great reasource :-D
