Stuart Posted February 15, 2024 Posted February 15, 2024 It was either this or the Edwin Hawkins' Singers 1 Quote
BigSkyBrad Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Before striking out on their own, The Band were the backing band for Ronnie Hawkins, and then Bob Dylan. The best rock film-documentary ever is the Scorcese directed film of The Band's farewell concert before they split, The Last Waltz. At the start of the film, the credits come up simply saying 'PLAY THIS FILM LOUD'! The film opens with the encore, but the actual concert started at 9pm and finished after 2am, with an encore and two jam sessions. The special guest artists list is legendary, as are the backstage stories which include sugar bowls of cocaine. The DVD-CD box set that I have has so much more of the evening that made it to the doco. 2 Quote

Mark Stanton Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Hate this song, however, very sadly it does link to the last vid posted and them's the rules 🤣 https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=engelbert+humperdinck+the+last+waltz&mid=86B60574435E50E3264D86B60574435E50E3264D&FORM=VIRE Quote
Onliest Smeg David Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 Song is mostly in 3/4 time signature, which is waltz, but not the last waltz or the first! 1 Quote
Onliest Smeg David Posted February 18, 2024 Posted February 18, 2024 ... from Moby's album 'Play' Quote
Stuart Posted February 20, 2024 Posted February 20, 2024 Having just read Trevor Horn's book this seems apt....... Quote
