A video by Luca Stricagnoli:

I suspect he cheats.  He has four arms and photoshops two of them out.  :D

Nice vid.

From this thread: Luna Lee plays rock on the 6th century Korean Kayagum stringed instrument.

She is great :up: does very amazing 'guitar' solos:

Seems like a good time to remind everyone of one of my favorite discoveries from this thread:

Jon Gomm's Passionflower

BTW - his music is "pay what you want".

Re: Recommend some music videos to me! - Neil Diamond "America".
« Reply #1333 on: November 24, 2017, 11:43 AM »
Speaking as an exiled pom and a paper kiwi...here is an incredibly stirring rendition by Neil Diamond (Laurence Olivier clearly caught up in the enthusiasm): Coming to America
Original video of Neil Diamond performing "America" from The Jazz Singer, presented here remastered in clean DTS Digital Sound from the limited edition 25th Anniversary release of The Jazz Singer.
Absolutely superb.  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:


Yet another example of Why.I.Love.America. - and American musicians.

Anyone know why they seemed to keep showing the same woman and man from the audience? Were they related to Neil, or otherwise significant somehow?

I can't answer about the relevance/significance - you could presumably look up the history of that particular video's remastering to find out, I guess - but the man is the actor (Sir) Laurence Olivier. He initially seems surprised/uncomprehending by the audience's response, then he seems to "get" it and becomes caught up in their enthusiasm. I don't know who the woman with him is. Olivier would certainly have been well able to appreciate an audience's genuine reaction to a performer.

Been listening to this one a lot lately:

The Black Keys - Weight of Love [Official Audio]

(probably inspired by Pink Floyd)
EDIT// probably best not look at the video too long :0

Someone says this is the first rap song of the story of music. The song starts at 1:37.

These two guys on Melodica perfectly performing Star Wars music.


Damn.

Check out their channel too, they do a lot of music using Melodica as the main instrument, which is kind of amazing.

Just started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. again after going to Pripyat last year, (one of the OST songs):

Firelake - Dirge for the Planet

This is very nicely sung -- originally from an era (& style) I think mouser is a fan of

Scouten Sisters - Sisters (Rosemary Clooney)

If you're not aware, that song is featured in an old Bing Crosby & Danny Kaye film called White Christmas (1954).

In the same vein:

The Andrews Sisters "video" I love best is Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from an Abbot and Costello movie:
