Agree, so much uncharted territory yet to be discovered on this channel!

I went down the Utube rabbit hole of David Gilmour's live performance in Pompeii from 2016.  Just as good as the originals.  My 2 fav's from the concert here.

 

 

 

 

[Rougarou]

After having been to Naples multiple times during my active duty time, it wasn't until 2015 that I actually visited Pompeii.  My daughter wanted a European trip for her graduation present and we fulfilled that. 

 

Walking through the areas where Gilmore, Waters and company jammed in 1972 was a phenomenal feeling.  Standing in the amphitheater I could hear the sound of Echoes still reverberating throughout the marble and stone.

 

Also, there's some other history there that some people think are important

 

I just think this is a cool shot of my daughter walking back in time

 

If you've not been and you aren't dead yet, I highly recommend going.  Some things are better seen in person.

For the Archer show fans out there.  At 1:51 is the portion from the closing credits.  The original album isn't in print anymore, but I found a used 1996 compilation album with this song and various 1960's jazz of this type.  Goes good with bourbon.

Now for something, completely different!  A word or two, careful.

Mr. Petty disappeared without much fanfare IIRC. Or, it could have just been me not paying attention. It seemed like a couple years after his passing before I heard about it. 

 

[roadscholar]

Hadn’t seen that video before, there's a couple other fairly well known fellas in there too, which kinda brings it back full circle.

[TEWKS]

I didn’t even catch that on the first go around!    

[roadscholar]

I did a double take on it too.

[wbw6cos]

Thanks to @Indy Dave, I decided to get another song stuck in my head to clear out the other one.  

 

I hear this one on the radio, frequently,  and decided to see the video.  

 

Enjoy this one, Dave!

 

 

 

[Indy Dave]

Back at you, William. This riff will stay with you all day, and then some.

Ballad of John & Yoko on CD.

"oldie",...."80's",.....wow,......I still consider listening to the "oldies" as the music from the 50/60's

Fond memories of that wafting from the 1200 Wing’s cassette player coming back from Watkins Glen.

A sad history prior to the super stardom days.  Still good music.  Mick Fleetwood credits Bob Welch for saving the band and putting them in a position to bring on Buckingham/Nicks.  RIP Bob Welch.

Last night I saw an interview of Mickey Thomas on Dr of Rock (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEK-154elGA) where he talked about who really taught him to sing.  He was later lead singer for Jefferson Starship after Slick slipped.

 

Then I heard the song that really got him going as a backup singer with Elvin Bishop.  All ya'll young whippersnappers never heard the song, or of MT (or Evlin - hint: "he ain't goodlookin but he shore can play").  Hearing it on the radio back then I never could decide if he was black or white but i really liked the song.  He's got some pipes and is still doing it in his 70's.

 

Driving back from Asheville, NC, this afternoon I pulled up the original version (trivia: the first half is the original take, the second half is the second take)  Then I pulled up several live recordings.  I like the live better.  Didn't have to fit on a 45.

I saw Bob Weir and Rat Dog play a rendition of that also. Twas an excellent concert

[Rougarou]

Many don't know that most of the music that they so much enjoyed from the 60's and 70's were actually recorded by a bunch of studio musicians. 

 

If you haven't seen it and enjoy the music of the 60's and early 70's, I highly suggest you see this on the people that actually created the music.  The Wrecking Crew  If you can't actually get the documentary, the wrecking crew on wiki

 

Glenn Campbell was a member of the wrecking crew before he got out on his own.  I don't know why, but I've always like this tune.

This was a point made by Ken Burns in his Country Music documentary.  There were a lot of photos featuring studio musicians in Nashville who were regulars as the emerging (and established) stars were recording their music.

This is likely the first rap song I ever heard.  Also, the devil clearly wins in any version of this song
