‘Great’ footage from Swedish TV – featuring Jim and the boys over 40 years ago. Have to say that the camera man must have practiced really hard to NOT capture the detail.
Round about 1’26″ – as ‘the man’ starts the lead – camera dutifully focussed on Jimi’s face for 2 to 3 seconds before jumping across to see EXACTLY how that bass line was being played. PRICELESS ! Passed on – with thanks to : Gogo Surfer  Most readers have likely never heard of C.V. Jørgensen, Bifrost, Gasolin and Kim Larsen – but they and many others from the Danish music scene all contributed to my life of music in the early 70s. This one in particular – I have just played it at least 10 times as I have explored YouTube trying to find the right version to share … music has so many memories ….. the original just seems to me to have the edge over the later version …. enjoy. Credit To : Charles Laquidara – Big Mattress “It’s hard to believe all the attention being given these days to American Idol. Oh, granted a few of their contestants have achieved a little success, but where are the real show biz survivors (Jennifer Hudson excepted)? Here’s a clip from the greatest of all of these shows. I refer of course to The Gong Show and the first appearance of the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. The guy on trombone is Danny Elfman. Danny has four Academy Award nominations, an Emmy for creating the Desperate Housewives theme and wrote the theme for The Simpsons. He also was the voice of Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Xmas.” Let’s join Chuck Barris, Buddy Hackett, and other luminaries of the day as we set the Wayback Machine back to capture the spirit of ’76 :
Not sure if I have flagged to this particular space just how much this makes the hairs on my neck tingle …  Yes it isn’t real – but I still love it … How do I know it’s false – well I checked it out on Snopes, one of my favorite myth busters – and in the Snopes article, it references this site – the site where the coputer generation was done. But I still love it. Vivaldi – neither of which is the Vivaldi your father knows. John P – the other one – sent me the link to the accordian player (as John wrote : Can you use the words “badass” and “accordian” in the same sentence?” The JMJ link sat right beside it in YouTube. Enjoy. Both are spectacular in their own way.
Props to my friend Pete who passed along this Youtube video with the note
Bobby G flagged originally – and both he and I have now posted to Facebook. Enjoy.
So – bit of an experiment – so apologies if this doesn’t quite work …. This from my mobile device ….. http://newteevee.com/2009/06/10/the-lowdown-on-apples-http-adaptive-bitrate-streaming/ … is an article on http streaming technology being adopted by apple – behind on the desktop but seemingly ahead on the mobile device …. And a potential bypass of the AT and T dinosaur So came across the author of this little piece on the island of Maui. Some interesting ideas when you engage in conversation – which I am still trying to distill. Meanwhile, thought you might enjoy a little something called ‘Video Feedback’.
