What are you listening to, September 2023 edition

Stumbled on this gem.

Several days ago the YouTube algo offered me Jefferson Airplane on American Bandstand in June 1967. Wondered off and on what Airplane songs might be dance music. Finally, I had to listen. Bandstand apparently had no answer to my question either. Their selections were White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. In interview, Dick Clark characterized the music with various words for unusual and alarming and asked Paul Kantner(?) if parents should be worried. Paul said "I think so.".

New Year's eve 1978, dusk to dawn. This was the final concert at Winterland before the Ballroom was closed forever. The Dead provided a free buffet breakfast for everyone who made it through the night.

The Greatful Dead, three extended sets.
The Blues Brothers Band and Revue with original movie back up musicians.
Midnight countdown by Dan Aykroyd.
New Riders of the Purple Sage

Not a concert, but I watched the musical Private Buckaroo the other day. Andrews Sisters, Harry James and orchestra as well as others.

This came up on the tube tonight. One of the best renditions I have ever heard. THe building must have been shaking towards the end.

And the ghost of James Caan was circling the place on his roller skates....

Interesting follow up on the organ. I notice that she plays heel and toe on the pedals.

David - check out this performance. It's not on a massive pipe organ - but a small reed organ ("pump organ").

For me this month it's SIX the musical. My daughter has just auditioned and been cast as Jane Seymour. That is now four shows she is working on Eponine In les miserables November Six in February. Morticia in Adams family in April. All large productions. And a school production of Back to the 80's

I bet the Adams family will be a blast to work on.

I bet the Adams family will be a blast to work on.

To be fair Greg she is enjoying all the rehersals but the Adams Family is top of the list. She has done plenty school shows over the years. Can't wait to watch her in a more professional show.

And for all you hurdy-gurdy fans ...

From the mid 70s, was watching video from SNL of Belushi and Ackroyd doing their stage Blues Brothers routines.

Happened on Jamey Johnson playing in 2 different places yesterday (Should Have Seen It In Color both times) and on Leonard Cohen Hallelujiah the day before. Hard to get decently crafted lyrics these days except in Country (and not so often there).
