Here's a clip from the 1941 movie 'Hellzapoppin'' with an amazing dance routine set to some swing music...

Elaborate swing dance numbers are my favorite thing. I've always wanted to try to learn that kind of dance.
Gotta have beef, gotta have spice, need a little excitement?....
Continuing with the swing...

I just stumbled across this video last night. Hadn't listened to any Grateful Dead for a couple of years so I decided to watch it. Late 60's to early 70's is my favorite era for the band so this live performance hit the spot...

Lovely!
I'm sure I posted this all over MB some years ago, but while on the subject of Prokofiev, I love this video of Valentina Lisitsa playing his war sonata.
A restored 1940s US Variety show. The bassist at the end is intense as hell.

I saw that one a couple of weeks ago. Love seeing old footage cleaned-up/restored like that.

The Mysterious Forgotten Founder of The Velvet UndergroundI've been listening to The Velvet Underground since the 70's but had never heard of this guy until I watched this video. Seems I've been woefully deficient in my knowledge of Velvet Underground band member history.
I first saw this video over a decade ago, and it gave me so much appreciation for Schulze as a performer. Seeing one person managing all those synths, sequencers and effects live in real time was so inspirational, and I discovered this style at the exact right time: after my college band broke up and I was feeling like I could never play live without a full band.
I've been working on getting my synths set up again, I redecorated and rearranged some things recently. I've had an idea for a concept recording in a synth ambient style for months now that I really want to knuckle down on during my free time.

I hadn't - thank you,
@Saulaac! Looking forward to watching it. :)
I have to admit that since the niche success/meme status of the
In Rainbow Roads tribute album, SM64-based covers have maybe become a slightly over-saturated phenomenon on YT, but I still enjoyed this one, and the thumbnail just keeps getting funnier the longer I look at it
Can it get any funkier than The Bar Kays at Wattstax?
Remembered reading that ribbons was listening to Isaac Hayes instrumentals. I think they opened for him at this festival.

You are correct,
@Saulaac! The Bar Kays are ACE! 8) Have you ever seen the
Wattstax documentary? - highly recommended. It's like the funk Woodstock.
And I revere Isaac Hayes, btw - not only as a composer, but as a person. If you see interviews with him, he seems to have been such a lovely guy.

^I've seen snippets on YT but never the whole documentary. On the to-do list!
IH's "Pursuit Of The Pimpmobile" from Truck Turner is another good one. That car chase is "right up my street" :pimp:
so many memories here and I got this guy I meet on the way home from a exhibition related to the Civil Service I worked for in Saville Row London...he took myself and Rosi to Wimbledon Palais in Wimbledon near London to see the Who...again......him being a tad of a Rocker was not impressed with them at that time...but he turned in later years and loved them...and I married him.

Still one of the all time best opening tracks of any classic rock album. "Can ya!? CAN YA?!?"
My absolute must wake up song that never fails to make the day start with a cheer. This I never got tied of listenning to since first finding it. Taken place in the BBC studio with the lovely DJ Zoe Ball.
you have to click the speaker for it to playback
(cant seem to post the video as it links to husbands facebook account... :o so will plan this again... :-X }
Pete Townsend one of the main band members of The Who. Video starts about Quadrophenia, explaining the story and playing some of the music it contained....then going on with other stories about Mods mainly....Tying in the Quadrophenia Story again as well, because that is the basis of this Video. The Film itself was a great success btw.
Never want to forget the fabulous live shows Rosi and I attended many times, :-X when young and free..
If you love or interested in the Who, it's worth the time watching this video.
haha so good I posted it twice.... :P
The Late Keith Moon the late Drummer of the Band called The Who....
My favorite Who record will probably always be
Live At Leeds - I swear, there's nothing else quite like that record. You can feel the sweat through your speakers.
Was my era so been to his concerts many times and always enjoyed them. I would not go now as I think it's never going to be like the young singer was, which happens to most of course.
The music is great but the Nicholas Brothers steal the show here...

I don't think so. Is it a movie?
Quote from: Oriphiel on Mar 22, 2024, 11:54 AMI don't think so. Is it a movie?
Only the finest independent movie ever made!
It also contains a very obvious tribute to Cab Calloway starring movie composer Danny Elfman in a singing role 🙂

New York DollBuckeye Randy reminded me of this one. I'd been meaning to watch it years ago but had forgotten about it. It's about Arthur Kane, the original bass player for the New York Dolls. A bittersweet profile of a middle-aged, former rock star.

I knew his dad was a guitar player but I didn't know anything else about him until I watched that interview. His Dennis Rodman stories are pretty wild and funny, also.
