misswonderly3 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 St. Patrick's Day. It doesn't get much more Irish than Van Morrison and the Chieftains. Here they are, playing live with Star of the County Down : Thought I might as well throw in the Pogues version too. After all, they're also as Irish as it gets. Just ignore the idiotic comments on the youtube screen.( I will never understand how and why there are so many stupid people commenting on youtube.)

misswonderly3 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yeah, of course, U2 are Irish. I almost posted a U2 song today for the same reason . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ah well, we're all low tech dunces in one way or another. Here's an answer to Sammi Smith's plea to help her make it through the night. I really wanted the original Bob Dylan version from his John Wesley Harding album. It's perfect. But of course, typically, it's not available on youtube. So I was going to go with pretty Linda Ronstadt's cover, it's not bad. But then I settled on Ramblin' Jack Elliott. I'll Be Your Baby Tonight : This is the kind of song that can become an "earworm". I've suffered from earworm many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Bogle Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Just before Bob went into his You're so sweet, you knock me off my feet type lyrics period. The music was still pretty good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Lizzy performing the old Irish standard Whiskey In The Jar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTH6nrD0ars The lads from Metallica did a most excellent version too. Whiskey In The Jar.

DownGoesFrazier Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 A number of Dylan songs have better versions by others. The two that first come to mind are "All Along the Watchtower" (Hendrix) and "My Back Pages" (Byrds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 finance, I just recently saw a dvd about Hendrix. He talks about how much he loved All Along the Watchtower . Dylan himself said Hendrix's version was better than his own. I've been thinking about *Pulp Fiction* lately (some discussion of it on another thread.) Here's the opening song, Dick Dale's Misirlou : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck3RB4FaEDw&feature=fvsr hmm, whoever made that video really focused on the violent aspect to the film. Sorry about that. It does have other scenes in it besides the violent ones. Edited by: misswonderly on Mar 19, 2011 12:28 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phroso Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Nice contribution, misswonderly. I've seen Dick Dale in concert a few times, and he's truly a spectacular performer. The first time I saw him, he played his guitar so fast, that every few minutes he would pass his own *melted guitar picks* to anyone in the audience who wanted them! (He favored women and children, so I didn't get one, alas.) In three or four times that I've seen him, he always stays after the show and signs every autograph request that he gets. And he also sells souvenir shirts that read, "I am a Dick Head," which make for interesting conversation starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Gotta love that surf music, be it Dick Dale or the (early) Beach Boys. finance, sounds like quintessential 80s dance music to me.

misswonderly3 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 It's now officially spring. Here's Jolie Holland, with the jazzy and slightly fey Springtime Can Kill You . Jolie's definitely an acquired taste, just too quirky and odd for a lot of music fans, but like most acquired tastes, once you've "got " her, you're a hard core fan. I love her stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqAczylSo-E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Bogle Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't mind a little of that jazzy stuff, but I'll likely remain soft core. G N' R did a pretty good job on Knockin' On Heaven's Door. Not better than Dylan's original, but still very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misswonderly3 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wow, does that ever rock. She's kind of like a female Led Zepplin. PJ Harvey is for me what Tom Waits is for you...I've heard she's good, always meant to get into her music more, but never seemed to have the time. That is one dynamite performance.
