A local friend pointed this one out to me.

Easily the best Billy Joel cover anywhere.

Domo arigato for this, Dave. I admire the widow's courage, I really do. The ethereal spirit of the Kamikaze is alive and well with her, the Ancestors must be smiling benevolently on such intrepidation.



You go out there and sing like that start singing like that!

Some Scandinavian (Danes?) outfit, I've never heard of. Old people, really. 80ies pastiche.

A huge (one) hit (wonder) in Europe and Australia in 78/79, but not in the US. Canadian siblings with a German father who grew up in California and had - strangely - a Dutch record deal, perhaps a bit too international? Leslie (the sister) sure wasn't flat. And note-perfect too.




Random thought: If I admit that I thought 'Working In The Coal Mine' was a song by Blue Swede, will that get me ousted from this forum of fora?

Such a great guitarist. And bassist (at 8:20). Effortless.

I love EC but it's tough to beat the original version with the Meters rhythm section. Slap is like a spice that gets used to much and in most cases no slap is best.

I was expecting this version of Baby it's you. In my head since the Tarantino movie. He should get a station on satellite radio if he ever stops directing.

Always loved that Dr. John song, first heard it on some sampler in the mid-seventies. In 1988 I actually got to see him live, a rather low-key affair in some Manhattan club/bar, he didn't even have a band with him, his career was a bit in the doldrums at that time.

 I'm not a huge fan of Zakk, but I find this fun - especially the bassist and her Gibson EB, the drummer is quite good as well. No need to watch past about 2:50 unless you day needs a lot of wanking.

Some people try to get acoustic sounds out of their electric axes. But trust Zakk to dig out an acoustic guitar and make it - hear and behold - sound just like one of his battery-souped up Les Pauls.  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Reverse engineering.

Hardcore SCTV fans know this classic sketch which costars John Candy and Dr. John.

If you just want to hear Dr. John's songs, go to 6:30 and 10:30, but you'll miss the humor.

This tune is one of my favorites, too.  I loved the single, and I like Clapton's flourishes here.  Great tune, and emblematic of Dr. John.

That actually sounds better than his normal processed tone. And miracle of miracles, I don't think I heard any pinch harmonics!
