Well, I'm watching the TAMI show right now, so ner.

Other than that Sky thing which I may have had pointed out later I think what stuck in my head was I think the Lovin Spoonful with somebody chording their guitar from the top of the neck.
Are you thinking of John Sebastian playing the autoharp?― Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Friday, May 10, 2013 9:38 PM (2 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink
No, I know the difference between an autoharp and a guitar even in really distant memory. Was it The Byrds doing something weird along those lines, got that image of somebody chording or doing something similar from the top of the neck pretty clear in my head for something I last saw 30 years ago. But definitely a stringed guitar shaped instrument and hand from the top of the neck.

During James Brown's set you may need to occasionally look out the window to make sure your house has not left the planet.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?
However, the DVD had a monstrous glitch during the Beach Boys set, so it's going back to the supplier!

Monstrous glitch? You sure that wasn't just Mike Love dancing?

That's much like what it looks like, at the mo.
Amber enjoyed the Gerry/Pacemakers footage, and oh poor old Smokey, he was by turns awesome and voice-shot-to-pieces (presumably from too much road-work)
Lesley Gore was the "mm, this is the past" moment.. Also, Amber was totally amazed at the backing dancers and their (lack of) clothing..

Berry's back-and-forth with Gerry and the Pacemakers is kind of charming, but man, I bet the Stones were pissed. That prize was rightfully theirs.

Backing dancers pretty amazing.
The Beach Boys really rock during that performance. "I Get Around" is so awesome! Dennis Wilson really tears those drums a new one.

Just saw Soul Power. James Brown, Spinners, Fania Allstars, Manu Dibango, Miriam Makeeba , Bill Withers are all great
