The Beatles - Rooftop Concert - Quality Restored!!!  
 

I love that version of I dig a pony!

My favorite scene from Immortal Beloved has been the Moonlight Sonata scene.  Very moving.  This reading of the Sonata is a bit faster than most, but within the context of the movie, quite powerful.  Today I found that the musician performing the piece for the movie is Murray Perahia; and I found a recording of the first movement by him (this is the most familiar movement, and the one which is partially played in the movie).  Again, it is a bit faster than most, and the phrasing a little different as well.  But it is moving and powerful.  The faster pace allows more of the melody and chordal movement to be taken in by the listener at any given time, creating a different perspective from which to appreciate the piece.

Kicking back watching Woodstock, the 1994 Director's cut on something called the Palladia channel.  CSNY, Ten Years After, Santana, Arlo Guthrie, Country Joe McDonald, stage announcements, Max Yasgur.  45 years ago!  Who knows where the time goes?
 
Bill, tgo

As a young child, my dad played pretty much only classical music at home (funny, as he managed an Odeon theatre in Scotland where the Stones and the Beatles played, among others)...anyway, I was far more into Beethoven than Mozart; just a different level of intensity and use of the power of an orchestra...considering my musical tastes now it makes sense that I'd go for intensity...as an example, today was the new Orange Goblin cd back from the abyss and Electric Wizard's time to die...Dad doesn't like my taste in music but to his credit he listened to Rush and could appreciate what great musicians they were and he did come to one of my gigs...Tony.

YouTubing through the as much as I can find of  late, great Blaze Foley; at this moment, .  How the hell was he never famous??!?!?!

That was nice Peter; thanks!

Agreed, Blaze's song was very enjoyable.
 
Plan on watching Duct Tape Messiah.

I wish I could write songs like that; mine all turn into madness and the fringe horror of modern life, which is why the band is named RUMSFELD...writing that type of music is hard to do authentically; I used to write poems to my partner and write poems from my cat(I was the opposeable thumb, so I transcribed from the telepathic...cats are like that...)but I can't write songs like that, they sound awkward and forced...I do appreciate those who can do this though and he should be famous!

Watched ELO at Hyde park on TV last night - enjoyed.

Really am caught off guard on how the news of his passing makes me feel lost . . .

Palladia just showed The Grateful Dead Movie.
The version of Morning Dew that they played gave me goosebumps!
