Loading... due to overwhelming popular demand, we've decided to make a week of this, so sit back, grab your shades, and dig on this:
the sextet ran around europe playing this song before it was to become sadly prophetic mere months after.

here's oscar peterson tickling the ivories in italy with a couple of hacks backing him up.

anyway, i saw this awhile back, and all the engineer talk yesterday made me think of it. on the spot at work, it's the first thing that popped into my head. the said engineers of the nation should enjoy brian cole's educating the crowd on the band's technical specifications.

i love that the women in the audience are swooning as much, if not more, than the guys.
(2 votes, average: 8.00 out of 10)Loading... all right, for this special occasion, i really wanted to play "darker with the day", the stunningly beautiful finale to nick cave and the bad seeds' equally beautiful 2001 release no more shall we part. alas, except for a couple of blurry coffeehouse troubadours, there were no live performances to be found (i do recommend clicking on the above link in its stead).
barring that, we'll go for the obvious, hackneyed choice (as bS already scooped the blondie cut).

anyway, i believe he expressed regret that he wasn't able to get to the meat puppets, and i was sad he didn't get to it either. well, based on my research, classic MP performances are hard to come by on the YT, but here's one:
