What Concert Video are you listening to?
- Thread starter Bob R
- Start date
CBS this morning did an interview with her, after the show, and she was incredibly upbeat and happy, made me feel a lot better. After her aneurism, she had to totally learn how to get out of bed, sit in a chair, etc; she also explained she had been watching EweTube videos to re-learn her own songs! She did play some guitar at the festival, and she wasn't 100% but did quite well.
Also learned she contracted polio at 11, and the doctors told her she'd never walk again; she proved them wrong, too. Incredibly strong spirit.

Hard to watch Joni. Father time, a brain aneurysm, and a gazillion cigarettes have caught up with her.
I was going to ask , What was up with Wynona in the backround, on Both Sides Now? Thoughts of her mother perhaps? It almost looks at one point you can read here lips and she says "I'm not going to make it, man"

I HIGHLY recommend this. Yes it's produced by Joe B. (my hero) and he appears in this, but regardless this is an awesome video and SQ is outstanding (mixed by JB's producer Kevin Shirley). There's been a dearth of concert videos since the covid pandemic, and this is one of the latest and best installments afterwards, IMHO. But, you all know I have biases here... Joanne is a great guitarist, but an especially great vocalist.

His posted link shows bluray plus cd for 24.99
I LOVE this... Joe kinda steals the show a little around 3:15 but only for a bit; he's just a guest here and he respects that (IMHO). This is a great rendition of a classic song, all around. I love Joanne's vocals in this one, in particular.
Dayam.
This just popped up on my feed, an early concert by The Police at some engineering college in Scotland; very early, their first album had just come out. Video is poor, sound is poor, mix is pretty good, and the performance is FEROCIOUS!! Enjoy!

How good is it?Well it's been quite a while since I've watched a concert video... so tonight:
I would give it an A-. Not my favorite of his live concerts ever, but it was very good. Recorded at Red Rocks last summer. Mostly songs from his latest album (Time Clocks), and with only one exception (Midnight Blues), all Joe's own songs.
SQ/PQ are outstanding, as always (IMHO) with his productions. Band personnel have shifted a lot since pre-covid, with drummer, bassist, and rhythm guitarist that I haven't seen before. But they were solid; the drummer, more than solid. This is also the first time I've seen Joe use a video screen backdrop, it was cool but a little distracting sometimes. Joe himself was playing well (especially in Mountain Time, IMHO), but ... honestly I've seen better from him.
I think this is my favorite song from this concert, this is the only one where the bassist really caught my attention. Great drums, everything is really tight here.
Odd concert between Elton John and Brandy Carlisle on CBS right now. It didn't sound very good the first half, I left it on while I surfed elsewhere. Then, Elton did a solo piece of Tiny Dancer, the rest of the band took a break and listened, and... Magic. His vocals have aged, but dayam his piano playing has only advanced, damn near fawnky!
Then Brandy did one of her songs, strictly solo on acoustic, and more Magic! This is about the 2/3rds way thru the show, so hopefully it gets better now. Chad whatsizname from the RHCP is on drums, don't recognize the others (I'm sure I'd know their names).
I pretty much learned rock piano, for what I'm worth, from Elton. Had two books of Elton songs and I could play the guitar chords (Am, C, Bbm7, etc) but the fly shit on the staffs I had to count out to figure out the notes, could use my ear for those notes instead.
Finally, quiz question: who's retired more times from their main profession: Elton, Michael Jordan, or Prince? 75 completely-worthless BotchPoints™ riding on this one, folks!
