Hmm, wonder what I did wrong?

Maybe this will work better.

Mando content: Sam Bush says he'd like to pick with EC sometime.

[Jim MacDaniel]

Great cover and incredible solo by Sam here...

[Dave Gumbart]

Strength In Numbers. Mostly for the full Blue Men of the Sahara, beginning at the 2:40 mark. Talk about building to a crescendo. Yipes.

Mmm - trying to embed (again....)

[Elliot Luber]

This one's a little out of left field, but good, especially if you like Star Wars.

[Dfyngravity]

A little Jesse Brock for ya. I think he is just tremendous, just listen to his breaks!



And one more, another great video!

[AlanN]

What's interesting about that Fincastle 1965 is the cluster of mics on centerstage, some presumably going to tape decks down below.

[Michael Wolf]

One great classic and all time favorite of mine:



And I like this a lot:

[journeybear]

Thanks a lot Lee and James P - you posted what I was gonna! But I guess that's good - now I know I'm not alone wih my druthers.

Here's a live version of that Katzejammer tune. Thunderation, that's a lot of energy! I love when the drummer makes the bass player crack up and lose her place.



Here you go Andrew - click on the red youtube button and paste the script inside the popup ... that's how ...

[Dfyngravity]

Well, these are my all time favorites. I just love the video for "playing for change".

Here is an example, but make sure to check them all out.

[mandopete]

A song from my favorite left-handed Boston Hillbilly...

Jimmy Ryan Rocks!

Another one that slays me every time. Greg Clarke playing Chinkapin.

Greg Clarke, yeah buddy!

[Mandoviol]

I never get tired of this one:



(Ha! Beat you to it, Journeybear!)

Pretty cool to see a bass balalaika in action. You don't see them much outside of Eastern Europe and Russia...

Jeez - The Fugs - I just got CDs of their first two albums along with The Holy Modal Rounders. As far as I'm concerned it is impossible to completely understand the 60s without these loons and free speech advocates. The Fugs' first album is possibly the loosest, lamest recording ever on a major record label. But what they lacked in musical ability they more than made up for in verve and lyrical zazz. Their first recording session was just the three main Fugs and Stampfel and Weber; Stampfel quit before the second session and they added bass and drums and electric guitar, thus adding to the inconsistency of this album. The Holy Modal Rounders' first album was recorded before The Beatles played the Ed Sullivan Show. I had not previously known they went back that far. I love liner notes; can you tell?

Anyway, thanks for posting that, catmandu2. What a trip! Here's a trailer for a HMR documentary. I believe Stampfel plays mandolin some too. There's a bit on The Fugs' additional studio material, and also right at the start of this trailer. Fascinatin' stuff!

Well, I suppose this does satisfy the rather vaguely defined parameters of this thread ... ...

As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get much better than this - the day music changed forever. I'm thrilled that youtube exists because revisiting this experience is now possible. They still seem otherworldly, like superintelligent beings from another galaxy appearing here to show us how to do what we earthlings had never dreamed was possible. Here are all four songs in order from their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show February 9, 1964:









You can see plenty more Beatles at youtube, of course. Also, if you go here you will enter a world in which you can see these four songs in a continuous 12:43 clip. You can also see their Ed Sullivan appearances from the following two weeks, their concert at Shea Stadium in 1965, their last concert from the roof of the Apple offices 1/30/1969, "Yellow Submarine" in its entirety, and much, much more.
