Don't know what happened here. DId the other two guys in ZZ Top hang it up? Band fight? Billie sure wasn't looking for a change, this could easily be a ZZ Top record (except Hill's backup vocals were as distinctive as that drummer in the Doobies, or VH's real bass player).
The video was just as sexist and 35 years out of date as anything off of Eliminator, and I'm okay with that!

I dearly loved this artist back in high school, and I don't recall seeing any video of her performing, before.

Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life,
Run me out in the cold rain and snow -
Despite his warts, I'm a huge Todd Rundgren fan (he wants to be the World's Greatest Rocker, but he doesn't quite have the vocal ability to pull it off). I'm a huge fan of his touring band Utopia, and was looking for any documentaries on them a couple nights ago. Found this series of videos, four of them, an hour apiece, and I've now watched the first two. They are poorly done, audio is Okay and the video quality is poor, but its a great chronological story of Todd, and any fans will enjoy it.
The last third of the first video, here:...talks about the formation of Utopia. I didn't realize they started out with three keyboardists, a second guitarist, and backup singers. They didn't sound too good. At the end Todd explains the formation of the main four-piece, and the vocals fell into place. The video ended after their first 2 or 3 albums, I was a bit disappointed, but then this morning parts 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 appeared, and I was happy.
The second third of the 2nd video covered Utopia again (including a video I hadn't seen from their Beatles cover period "Deface the Music"), so spot-on and they even wore dark suits, skinny black ties, had the haircuts and the Vox/Rickenbacker instruments, and the polite bow at the end of the tune! Cool!
The rest of Hour Two goes into Todd's video studio. We all know who posted the first music video to MTV (Video Killed the Radio Star), but guess who had the second music video played?
As I said, the video/audio quality on these is lacking, but if you're interested in music/video history, you'll enjoy these.
Oh, and I must mention: I have FOUR Utopia concert videos (don't know if there are more), all on DVD. The audio/video quality on them is much higher than the above-mentioned video, so highly recommended if you're into Todd and friends.

Great doc on the making of 10cc's I'm not in Love. Pretty amazing, using a mixing desk live, even adding percussive notes with the faders. And I'd forgotten how magic this record was...

Don't know if any of you are fans of "The Piano Guys" but the local news did a nice piece on them yesterday (they're local homies). I learned a few things, and am more than slightly jealous how these four guys, only slightly younger than me, fell into this jackpot. Enjoy!

Oscar Peterson.
Oscar F*cking Peterson.
I don't have a lot of his music in my collection, but Rick Beato's commentary on this just simple 1-4-5 blues, blew me away. Dayam!

A Sunday night, hung up on great songwriting. Enjoy.
An understated tenor guitar solo, by one of the hottest pickers in music:

And finish up with a couple Jimmy Webb classics; love the key change at the end of the first one, and Wichita Lineman is just about a damned near perfect song (and more tenor guitar!)

I've been diggin' on "Vulfpeck" a lot lately. Their CDs are obscenely expensive, but they have a big presence on EweTube; I need to figure out how to use an Apple app to record these things and burn them to CD.
This one follows Homer's Ulysses, and finally gave me a clue to an obscure line in a Police song...

eDIT: Any rhythm section, with a bass and a drummer with just a kick, snare and single hi-hat, that can groove/propel like this, is So Worthy!!! Damn!

It's been awhile since I've seen anything from my favorite Russian cover band. Here, they cover a killer tune from mid-career Steely Dan. The guitarist absolutely nails the solo, including the tricky harmonic parts. And seeing what's-her-name again, is always a good thing!

Dayam. That level of musical masturbation doesn't usually occur at the Allman/Betts level, but here we are.YEMTrey said:When you bring a guest on stage and then instantly regret it, lol!
Towards the end of my 40-year bar band "career", I wouldn't even audition with any new band that had more than one guitarist, it was just mayhem (and they had no use for a keyboard). And yet, if you ever get the chance to listen to Donald Fagen's "Bright Night Gown", in 5.1 Surround, Do It! There are at least NINE guitar parts going, but all of them occupy their own spaces, frequencies, and rhythm in the track, and it works! (the original stereo version sounded "busy" to me, unusual for a Dan track).
It can work, but Billy didn't. :puke:___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."

Per the above post, I had to dig out my 5.1 copy of Donald's first-three album trilogy, done in 5.1:
Apparently, it's going for over $4,000 on eBay right now. I'll never sell my copy. (listened to "bright nitegown" several times, haven't even hit the first two disks yet).

Apparently, ABBA Is back.
They're releasing a new album, and doing a "tour" via holograms (which is icky and creepy and I won't be involved, at all). Forty years after their heyday.
I'm not a huge fan, but I do have their greatest hits on CD. And I have to admit, "SOS" is probably the greatest Pop Song of all Time; it has more hooks than a tackle store.
First hook (an ear-worm that sticks with you) is that descending piano intro. Everyone knows the song coming up. Second hook is that vocal line, "I wish I understood"; anyone who can't remember this song's lyrics can sing that part, and they Will!.
Third hook, just the opening Chorus, those glorious harmonies with echo and reverb, so Huge! Fourth, the second half of the chorus, with that repeating chorus line and the powerful walkup from the fourth, to the tonic, and then they repeat it!
The fifth hook, that arpeggio synth line between the verses and the chorus; play that for anyone on the street and they'll be singing "SOS" as they walk away. Brilliant!

For some reason lately (I'm getting old), I've been revisiting bands and music I listened to while in college.

They are somehow related to Vulfpeck, and tight as all get out.

A side of the Beastie Boys like you've probably never heard before...or you have but you just didn't know. The whole album is completely instrumental and excellent.

Here Rick Beato breaks down Chicago's Make Me Smile. I have a renewed appreciation for this breakout song from Ballade for a Girl in Buchanan. So, so powerful!

My mistake. Internet info errors had me confused. Wikipedia and three of the four YouTube videos got it wrong. Only heard Chicago on radio. Blood, Sweat, and Tears was the "Band" for me, mostly because of their roots. Blues Project (Flute Thing, Fly Away).

I've been following a EweTube channel called "Professor of Rock", it's almost as good as Rick Beato, but no music theory. Today my feed featured Seger's "Night Moves", a song I loved but actually haven't heard in years:

I also don't remember Matt LeBlanc being featured in the video (guess this was years before Friends came along). Nice memory jog.___________"When small men begin to cast big shadows, it means that the sun is about to set."
