Music videos that feature Thunderbirds

[eb2]

Also, as an aside to Chuck, and ignoring the Tbirds for a moment, has anyone ever seen the Chuck Berry videos with his other "birds?"  I saw stills from a couple, and I haven't been able to watch the guy ever since.  I do laugh a lot, but Beautiful Delilah has an added disturbing dimension these days.

I haven't seen those pics. Maybe I shouldn't try to find them.

The stories about taping women in the restroom at his restaurant weren't proven but he did settle a class action lawsuit about it.

In restrooms? No doubt someone must have leaked information then.

Ouch. I had too.

At least that ship has sailed and the air has been cleared...

Chuck's alleged thourough monitoring of clientele probably just stemmed from an unrelenting passion for customer service!

Bwhahahahahahahahahaha Made me laugh big time! I do love Chuck though.

I know that Chuck tours by himself. But it doesn't change the fact that around 1972, he started to force whatever band it was, to play that duh-duh. And they did. All of them. It was so boring, it was namelessely boring. The Berry destroyed the original pulse, for reasons unknown. At least to me. Maybe not to others?

[Dave W]

Chuck admitted the taping, he just claimed he was trying to catch a thief.

[Stjofön Big]

Then he'll have a lot of work to do. The Chuck's been ripped-off more than Mr Average. He's also been riffed-off.

Don't anyone start asking me how I found this! I don't even know myself.  But it here they are! All the way from Down Under! O-o-o-o-o-o-o-l-l-l-l Fif-ty-fi-i-ive! With their Two faces, an old Lou Christie song.

Seems like that bass, judged by the finger (thumb) rest is a piece almost clocking in at soon-to-be 50 years! Yes, sir, they sure knows how to boogie in Australia!

Did we have this here already?

Never saw this one before just found it on a Tull Bootleg DVD, kind of odd w/ old & new Ian but a few nice close-ups of the butt end of a reverse Tbird II,



Cheers,

I just found the original performance this clip was edited from on a 1976 UK TV show called Supersonic & for what it’s worth that’s John Glascock playing that Tbird never saw him with one before,

The "most unfortunately named" Herr Glasscock probably played that in commemoration of Glen Cornick who made the TBird so much part of his image and played on the original recording. In 1976, John was pretty much a Stingray and P Bass guy, as a friend of high register playing, he must have found the Donnervogel limiting. But he was no stranger to Gibsons in the years before, he played a sixties EB-3 or modified EB-0 (with a TB pup in the bridge position?, hard to tell with even the better glipse you get at 6.05 of the Carmen clip) with Carmen (great failed band!) quite skillfully.

Which raises the question: Do at least Carmen find some mercy with our resident prog hater Dave W.?   Listen to it for more than 10 seconds please!!!

Glasscock was a lefty playing righty - which might explain his left hand dexterity.

[Dave W]

    I made it 45 seconds in.

Fortunately I'm listening to some Mel Tillis favorites right now so the memory of that 45 seconds will soon be wiped out.

You're kinda difficult, Dave, you know?

Now you knew I wouldn't like that!
