I recently upgraded the laptop to an SSD drive and Ubuntu 12.04. The surprise,linux plays music videos like no tomorrow on my older laptop,got me over to youtube.
So being a rocker one of my favorites has to be Tina Turner,nobody on social security rocks like her IMO.Or Fleetwood Mac

Nena (of "99 Lufballons" fame) - Made in Germany. I watch this while I am on the treadmill all the time. My wife thinks I am nuts and knows that I am in love with Nena, but she just rolls her eyes. It really is a great video.

Mrs likes it too,says her voice is very pretty,agreed.Hard to believe she is 54 years old in that 2009 video.See it was a chart topper in Europe,I can see why.
I like these threads,kind of like your favorite family signature recipe,you get the best.

Lots of special memories with this song by Ferlin Husky
-
One of my many favorites!

Definitely my favorite version of The Weight. The Band is one of my favorite acts ever, and I love the Staples Singers... You can't get much better than that. There isn't really a bad moment in The Last Waltz. Probably my other two favorites from the movie are the Neil Diamond and Emmylou Harris performances.

Lost my only sibling not too long ago. This is particularly poignant.

That's a great one, I just saw them again in Laughlin a couple of months ago when I was down there for the annual River Run. Nothing better than a motorcycle rally with Southern Rock. ;)

Lots of good music! Spuds, I had not heard Suzanna Choffel before - thanks for posting, I'm looking for more. Have always enjoyed Doc Watson.

Well seeing how I'm a huge Motley Crue fan and I sometimes listen to a lil Country music (thanks to my wife LOL) I wanted to share this new video by Justin Moore. He covered the Crue's "Home Sweet Home" and did a fantastic job if I do say so myself.
Enjoy!

Pretty cool N.O. I am a huge crue fan. I knew Mick wasn't doing too good. Doesn't look like he can barley walk anymore. That's a shame.

Here's a Warren Zevon performance on Letterman Show, his last one before he sadly passed away from mesothelioma, a very short while later.

Beautiful. Sadly missed... :'(

Glad you liked it Doc,I love her voice too.
Nuke,that was good.
Gene,I didnt know WZ died,the song was haunting.
-
Don't know why - but this is my favorite WZ song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O2qJ0JXjug - So many good ones. He is high on my iPod list.

Very nice David! He was one of my all-time favorite performers. His words/stories were so poingiant, wild and sad at the same time. I was fortunate enough to have met him at a little club in Chicago in the mid-eighties. As talented as he was, he was also humble and a real guy!

That is way cool, Gene. I agree, his music was more than music it was the stories. It is interesting how many of these guys are just guys. I met Sting in Chile in a small coffee shop. I envy you meeting WZ that had to be great! I hope sometime to meet Leonard Cohen.

Sting is an interesting guy! But I enjoy meeting people that are, how can I say it? Out of my comfort zone....maybe. Some are real buttheads, while most are real people with down to earth thoughts and ideas. Unlike the pedestals we sometimes put them up on! When you can get to conversation, we find that we are more alike than different.

Osborne Brothers - Rocky Top
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n9prNixjbg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

This is far from my favorite song, but definitely in the top 5 of my favorite videos. You can't go wrong with a silly alternative song and ninjas!

I was thinking about Flatt and Scruggs too....
The Peaches,gotta love it!
There is a real Good Elton concert being shown on AXS,saw last week,in Vegas,where he introduces his million dollar Yamaha piano,GREAT show,watch for it.
Like that Rocky Top.
My dog BooBoo was famous and had lots of Fans.We went to a Bellamy Brothers concert at a fairgrounds where,get this,dogs were welcome.BB was wearing a Bellamy Brothers bandanna and one of the guys stopped and petted her on the way out,obviously quite happy to meet BooBoo.
Another time in Lake Arrowhead,we were at grocery store.Who parks next to us but Michelle Kwan,who trained up there,I was walking into store and someone whispers to me,thats MK who just walked out.So I go look and as she is loading groceries she reaches over and pets BooBoo,obviously very thrilled to meet BooBoo in person.
Dog had a far greater social life than me,I could only dream it,she lived it! ;D

Another Hollywood Bowl with the wrong crowd.Went to see Crosby Stills Nash and Young,doing their Freedom Stop the War Tour.Now wouldnt that tell you SOMETHING about a group of antiwar Hippies what they might be singing?
Well...down in the rich wine and cheese seats are a bunch of Orange County Republicans showing off to their friends how special they are....and they WERE NOT pleased with the music,Like LETS IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT about their god George Bush. ???
Lukewarm crowd to say the least. 8)
Band kept looking at each other,like how in the He!! did we get booked here? After last song,no encores,they couldnt leave fast enough.Of course us,in the cheap seats thankful we got a ticket at all, we're loving it.
Anyhow,lets smuggle some drugs doncha know...

I could do a whole thread just on WZ. Probably influenced me as a musician more than any other artist.

I have two Tommy Emmanuel's version of classical gas and Shakira covering back in black

Very well said. I've been lucky to meet a bunch of my favorites over the years in unlikely places - Garfunkel in a café at Mt Rushmore, Sting in Chile, Arnold Palmer in a café in MPLS. I always took the approach of not asking for autographs, just asking if we could talk... Most times, these people turned out to be regular folks and we had a great conversation. Some others (will not name) not so nice. I get it they are bugged constantly. But those that will take a few minutes (or a couple hours - Sting) to talk - lots of fun.

How about this one? ;)

Thats the one i was thinking of.
Fine Uke playing.
My Mom and her friend met Telly Savalas at the horse track,sat right next to him.Sucking lollipops,mom said he was a super gentleman,treated them like long lost friends.Good on him.
Cousin met Arsenio Hall.Mom asked him a question on his TV show.He reminded him of it.He said,I remember Aunt Ellie! Signed a picture addressed to Aunt Ellie for my Mom.Another gentleman.
Friend met an old man hitman in the hospital.He thought she was great.He told her anyone messes with you,just let me know ???.Said he was a little guy and looked like your favorite uncle.

Moms friend Dinghy was a boxer,his claim to fame was he once fought Jake LaMotta.One time in a pancake house 2 young punks were mouthing off,Ding didnt like em,said there are ladies present,please keep it down,not language to use around Ladies..One said what are you going to do about it old man? He flattened both of em,he was old but still strong as ever,they beat a hasty retreat before cops showed. :D
I used to drive for them when they went out,or bar hopping,whatever.very cool being 15 years old driving a Lincoln Continental.
Point of story,listening to his Johnny Cash 8 tracks waiting on them,great fun for me for sure.I miss them all.
Dinghy was a Locksmith.Started selling jewelry at his shop,it really took off.Became a Jeweler.I remember him coming to the house one time with a case,opened it and told my sisters,pick one.One got a diamond ring,the other a Ruby ring.Quite a guy he was indeed.
