I thought the guitarist handled the incident very well. I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out...there is definitely an element of danger there when you go out on streets today and perform.
Being a guitarist, it was interesting to see him play an electric guitar like that without a pick. I play acoustic guitars primarily and use just my fingers as well. Some non-musicians think you need to have a pick to play guitar...maybe that's why the guy thought he was faking it.
Any idea where this was filmed? The guitarist was an excellent player...he handled things very well, IMO.
Yes...I think they really did Don Felder dirty and then Glenn Frey's passing, of course. I'm kind of stunned that they are still touring without Frey and Felder. I'm a big fan of their music...but huge, huge egos. 😢
Hard to narrow it down to 5 but here goes:
5) "Little Lies"
4) "Go Your Own Way" (love the original, but I really love "The Dance" version...Lindsey lets it rip on that one!)
3) "Oh, Well"
2) "Hypnotized" (one heck of a song)
1) "Landslide" ("The Dance" version...love Lindsey's playing on that)
It's my favorite episode also, which has also been described here. As someone who wasn't even born yet (1969) when this episode first aired (1967), I loved seeing the golf technology back then and hearing the golf names!
This is something that I've often wondered...did the people who worked on those shows back then ever realize that someone like me would be watching these shows again, over 50 years later? These older shows are just such great "snapshots" in time...I just love watching these older TV shows. Plus, I still think they're funny and entertaining today.
I remember reading an interview with the late, great baseball announcer Vin Scully some years back and he was asked who was the nicest celebrity to him. He said Elizabeth Montgomery. I think she must have been a sweet person in real life (even though she had quite the interesting personal life).
He's the man! I would have loved to have watched him play in person during his heyday!
Happy 80th birthday! I believe he also took over for Reggie Theus on the old TV show "Hang Time," if I remember correctly.
"Friends" is definitely the first thing most people associate with her. I never watched it, though...she's kind of one of those people who's "famous for being famous" as well. I liked her in "Bruce Almighty."
I actually don't think of her and Brad Pitt much anymore. She hasn't seemed to have had much luck with love, unfortunately.
There was a thread on the General Discussion board regarding "celebrity to have a beer with" and I said her as my female choice. She's about 3 months older than I am and I think we'd really have an interesting conversation. But I agree that most people still associate her with "Friends."

Yes, I did in the 90s occasionally...two off the top of my head that I can remember:
1) There was a group called Local H that had a song called "Bound For The Floor" that I loved. I bought their CD "As Good As Dead" solely based on that song.
2) Semisonic...bought their CD "Feeling Strangely Fine" just from hearing "Closing Time" (I love their song "Singing In My Sleep" from that same CD...what a great song that is).
I don't drink alcohol (usually), so Diet Coke for me 😃:
Male: Eric Clapton
Female: Jennifer Aniston
Probably killing Stonewall Jackson after the Battle at Chancellorsville (he was accidentally killed by his own troops). Lee never really found someone who could adequately replace him.
Yes...long-time churchgoer and one year many years ago, committed to one of those "read The Bible in one year" programs. Certain parts are more interesting to read than others. 😃
I think Ecclesiastes is the most underrated great book in The Bible.
It's pretty well-known, but I really think "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure" is a great movie. This was one of the relatively few movies I actually saw in the theater when it first came out and I loved it from the very first viewing. It just has so many memorable moments...and it's interesting watching it today, because it really was a snapshot of what life in the late 1980s was like (minus the time travel, of course! 😃). I love this movie to this day (By the way, I still haven't seen the movie that came out last year...not sure if I'm ever going to watch it or not).
Another one of my favorites...I sure do miss Greg Lake. RIP 😢
Thank you for posting this one...I love the guitar playing on this version and that is one of my all-time favorite guitar solos. It's not overly difficult to play, but it just fits the song so perfectly and I love that tone. My favorite version of this great song!
Yes, it sure is! It's amazing to me how they used the music to such great effect in the movie.
Yes...I did some reading on it and I don't think they ever released it over here in the U.S. Maybe the record producers thought it was too depressing and/or too "location-specific" to be a hit here, but I think it would have been a hit here also.
I'm actually a guitar player and not a piano player...but George Winston is one of my favorite musicians and my favorite pianist. These two songs ("Joy" and "The Holly And The Ivy") are off his great recording "December":

Awesome! It is such a great carol. I really love the English carols that I've heard...you have some gorgeous melodies and beautiful carols in your part of the world! 😃
You are definitely correct about how some songs don't travel for some reason. I have another example that you are probably familiar with...a couple of days ago, I finally heard "Streets Of London" by Ralph McTell and I just loved it. I'd heard the song and McTell mentioned before, but I'd never heard it until a couple of days ago. What a sad, yet beautiful song. But it was never a hit here in the U.S.
I think it's starting to gain some popularity over here now the past few years. I belong to a Christian hymn group on Facebook and there were a few people who knew this carol, but most didn't. It's really a beautiful carol...for some reason, it just wasn't an overly popular carol here in America for a long time, but I'm starting to see more Americans becoming familiar with it.
