Post by: lbpesq on February 08, 2020, 03:52:01 PM: So what's your all time favorite music video? Here's mine - it never fails to crack me up.

Bill, tgo

Post by: David Houck on February 08, 2020, 04:50:54 PM: All time favorite music video? My first thought was that I couldn't possibly have a favorite; but then this one came to mind. This is the only copy I could find on youtube, and the quality isn't great; but it's from the 2004 Songs From Tsongas DVD.

Add in Andy Powell's sublime bass and you have a perfect song...

Adding this too (sorry, not sorry ;D )

Mountain Music was a surprise.

Post by: edwardofhuncote on February 09, 2020, 08:37:55 AM: I'm still working on it. Unbelieveably, I grew up right at the dawn of the MTV age, (mid-late 1980's)... and I never really watched it. Once I started playing music, I got less interested in watching it in any format, and that lasted another few years. So this is hard.

Maybe instead of 'favorite', here's one music video that made a very powerful impression on 20 year-old me:

Post by: bigredbass on February 09, 2020, 08:42:15 PM: For no other reason than it's just fun, I get a big grin out of it every time (because remember kids, serious music is serious, and THIS ain't):

. . . . and another fave from the MTV days, Robert at home back in The Black Country, with a favorite bass line, big fun in low D with the five-string . . . .

Always loved Toto (Georgy Porgy !), and I see this one and I think how much we lost with Jeff and Mike. Of course I never met them, but somehow felt like I knew something of them thru their playing, crazy . . . . . to me this is one of those songs that the groove was so strong it felt like some giant ship engine. Now for next week, practice your 16-th note minor scales, OK ?

I really like the way they added the Latin coda on this live version of 'Mexico', but I keep imagining Jimmie with an Ampeg Baby Bass (required for that sort of thing) stuffed with Alembic guts . . . . .
