beetlemania Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Very heartfelt tribute to Townes Van Zandt by Steve Earle. Check out Nancy Griffith's reaction.

Sam Lord Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 That was so much better than I thought it would be. Very scientific! +1 I could watch that video 10 times in a row before watching one Nascar race.

beetlemania Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 This old lip-synch is on the hokie side but it gives a nice glimpse of Peter Green's soulful singing and, more so, a taste of his guitar mastery. Rather than vomiting a cascade of notes, Green knew just which notes to play. John Mayall, after Eric Clapton left the Bluesbreakers, is said to have said something like " don't worry, we found someone even better".

esldude Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Oh Peter, big Steven Vai fan here. You are right though, this guy on the electrical cello has the chops. Thanks for sharing.

esldude Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I like Gary Moore, and of course blues in general. One of my favorites from him, Still got the Blues for you.

esldude Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 While on blues guitarists, why not some Stevie Ray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsHXd4rQnW0 While I am at it, why not Stevie Ray, Albert King and B.B. King doing the Elmore James song 'the Sky is Crying'. Done by Jimi Hendrix and lots of people. People like Eric Clapton and the Yardbirds, Jeff Beck, and done by the Allman Brothers at Duane Allman's funeral. Heard the Allmans do it live at the Grand Ole Opry house after Duane's death in Nashville in the late 70's. Brings back bittersweet memories for me. Took a special girl to that concert, had no money, won the tickets on a radio call in. She didn't really know the Allmans, but fell in love with them after hearing them that night. Oh well, special emotions and special times in life are what make music special. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain.

esldude Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDp3Grz28mE Saw these guys about a year after this in Nashville. What I saw live was better than this. But it will still give you the flavor. Better is the following with help from a young Emmy Lou Harris and Bonny Raitt. Saw these guys just a few months after this recording. This gives the flavor too, but nothing like the live in person experience. Very under-rated band most especially live.

dave_kiwi Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Flight Of The Conchords --- latest song they wrote, lyrics came from a series of interviews the guys did with young school children, from a couple of NZ schools - for a NZ Charity called Red Nose. Musicians are a collection of 'who's who" of NZ Rock. Also, Murray is there as well :-), but no Mel.

johnemcgregor Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXrcINvsREU elsdude's post reminded me of this performance at Fillmore East. The Allman Brothers Live at Fillmore East was the first album I ever purchased. That was 38 years ago. I still love this album. Link to comment

James1776 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 As usual, I'm a bit late to The Piano Guys. To give credit where it's due, I heard about them at Capital Audiofest this year from Jonny Wilson of Snake River Audio. Anyway, I think they're hilarious. Oh, and music is pretty good too! [video=youtube_share;Ry4BzonlVlw] [video=youtube_share;LV5_xj_yuhs] These guys are great...Thank You!

James1776 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 OK, I have to know...I do not play with video's very often...how does one get to watch one all the way through without the God awful, constant pop ups, demands for Google Chrome, and refresh stops? I am using a new i5 processor with 8GB of memory...there must be a way to beat this crap????? Also...how do yo turn one off...I can stop the sound byt it seems to be only on hold?? I have found you an argument; I am not obliged to find you any understanding – Samuel Johnson Link to comment
Kiwi2 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Also...how do yo turn one off...I can stop the sound byt it seems to be only on hold?? I click on the YouTube ('Watch on YouTube') icon at the bottom right that opens up its own window rather than watch the inbed. If I don't like the song, I can simply close the window and go to watching the next song from this thread. I am on wireless broadband with limited monthly data allowance. Can't afford to have a vid to continue to stream in even though I'm not watching it. Link to comment
Kiwi2 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 PS... You can also click on the settings icon and reduce the quality tab until it streams in faster than it plays so you won't get refresh stops. Link to comment
James1776 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Just what would be an optimum PC for playing HD video's. I am using an i5 processor with 8GB RAM and am getting over 20mpbs at the PC and still I get 'refresh' nonsense...
