Last Concert Video/Movie Watched.

[pjbear05]

Don't know why this topic hasn't been posted, so I'll kick it off.

 

Local PBS station showed Pink Floyd's 1989 Venice concert, of course interspersed by shills for donations.

Have to admit, the lads and ladies were not at their best that evening. A bit of energy was definitely missing. I need to play my Pulse DVD to get it back.

 

So what are you watching?

I watched part of the Time Machine tour today. I had to turn it off after "Time Stand Still". It's an emotional song anyway and it hit me hard for some reason- loss of Neil, worries about family, or something. It's such a beautiful song.

Recently I rediscovered and viewed Huey Lewis And The News ‎– The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll.

 

It's a concert video filmed in February 1985 at Kabuki Theater in San Francisco from a date on the band's two year 1984-85 Sports Tour, which has never been reissued on DVD. It's on YouTube

.

 

This won a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Long Form noted here.

 

When I entered high school in the late 80's, I joined band class and played electric bass guitar until I graduated.

 

The repertoire consisted of classical, jazz, musicals and show tunes, 50's and 60's rock 'n' roll, pop, doo-wop, and tonnes of Beatles songs that the band class had to perform. At the time, I had zero appreciation and tolerance for any of this music. I had to 'grin and bear it' each year.

 

As well, the band teacher had the class view The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (film), The Best Of Victor Borge Act One & Two, and Phantom of the Opera.

 

One day, I'm exploring the back room and there's all this sheet music of 80's songs, including 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis & the News. I was thinking to myself "Why can't the band class play this song and other cool ones instead?" I was at a phase in teenage life where I wanted to perform the current hits from my generation.

 

Across the street from high school, there was a video rental store. During lunch break, I rented a VHS copy of Huey Lewis And The News ‎– The Heart Of Rock 'N' Roll. I returned and asked the band teacher if the class could watch this. He said 'yes' and everyone dug it.

 

I recently discovered that Huey Lewis has a lot of big band jazz, doo-wop, and r&b influences as noted

and

. This is music that I initially couldn't stand as mentioned. The irony is that I dug Huey Lewis & the News radio friendly modern new wave potpourri of musical gumbo.

 

Later on as an adult, I began to appreciate all different genres of music.

 

Just wanted to share this.

I don’t remember the last time I watched a concert video all the way through. As much as I would enjoy it, there is just precious little time.

 

Probably R40, about three years ago.
