I just turned off the Bo Diddley because i literally don't want it to end...we definitely have a winner so far

Oh yeah, that Tito Puente clip is another one of my favorites. So hot!

For those of us who have to have images turned off, could someone repost the Bo Diddley or link back to the original post?

maybe not a contender for the greatest, but pretty great nonetheless:

This captures everything I love about my favorite song ever perfectly. Reading off a lyric sheet--wow.

clemenza, Wednesday, 10 March 2010 03:41 (sixteen years ago)

thats great rod, but isn't he singing over a backing track? that's such a weird period thing, where the only part that's live in these ur-videos is the vocal

iago g., Wednesday, 10 March 2010 04:41 (sixteen years ago)

tv broadcasts, rather

iago g., Wednesday, 10 March 2010 04:41 (sixteen years ago)

Prince show where he introduces SOTT touring band. @ 1st Ave. Club sometime in 1987. It's floating around out there.

On the subject of pyrotechnical indian music, another favorite:

"that's great rod, but isn't he singing over a backing track?"

Killjoy! Just kidding--I didn't want to believe it, but I listened closely and you're absolutely right. Not that I have some high-minded objection against lip-synching--I used to be Rob Pilatus's vocal coach--but a big part of why I love the clip so much is how seemingly spontaneous everything is (kind of how Greil Marcus describes "Every Picture Tells a Story"), and that's now lost.

clemenza, Wednesday, 10 March 2010 14:16 (sixteen years ago)

I stumbled upon this channel-surfing one night and was spellbound. just Sammy and drums, from the 'lost' and only concert recording of the Rat Pack.

ha. I was going to post that PIL clip too. Its so bizarre. Network TV sure done changed.

sofatruck, Wednesday, 10 March 2010 16:26 (sixteen years ago)

Sorry, Clemenza, but look at it this way, the Rod vocal is absolutely live and the charming stuff with the lyric sheet attests...that must be pretty rare to hear that song sung live in 1972. I have a tendency to undermine, I know, and am working on it!

iago g., Wednesday, 10 March 2010 16:41 (sixteen years ago)

this is amazing and i'm not even a big White Stripes fan:
