Quite nice, a live concert from way back when, on BBC, with the wonderful band #Focus
I saw them live at Paradiso in Amsterdam, and many 'here' (US) may have at least known of them from their hit song (with yodeling) "Hocus Pocus". This here is 23 minutes, and mostly "easy listening" though they can grow intense & layered. Nice background music &/or you can watch them perform.

Focus - Hamburger Concerto - Live BBC TV 1975 (Remastered)

Tnx ralphyboy...

One of the best-ever albums, and here is a "new Beatles track" - from the newly released Special Edition, of Revolver.

Got To Get You Into My Life (First Version / Take 5)

Rolling Stone describes this as an entirely different perspective on this and other well-known songs. Lots of chemistry, and experimentation, plus clowning and fun. As they describe, a time The Beatles were on top of the world and in their own dimension.

Happy Autumn Solstice - 22SEP22

Many are hoping still for some pleasant weather but the solstice will do solstice. Some worship it, some dread it. Seasons change.

Now this here... It is about to be perfectly aligned, exactly.
Just like this symmetrical date. Happy Solstice Autumn 22.
22AUT22

This from a few weeks earlier, in the rain. Look straight up the middle; that is where the sun would be rising if you could see it!

Well, autumn lovers are in luck, as your solstice is arriving on Platform B.

Meanwhile, if you'll excuse me, I must be on my way....

One or two tabs keep taking me back to the Dead!

To clarify: browser tabs! Though one or two tabs of anything might do it.
I've only recently re-listened to some long-ago favorites, and long-form gems I've not heard for years.
Realizing half the social universe was not born yet much less at this concert, still... it may be new to some, refreshing to old friends.

Touch Of Grey / Greatest Story Ever Told - Grateful Dead Live, July 1990

A sort of snappy song which caught my free ear just now. Some interesting history in the description.

A good day for reflecting on things,

Under Eternity

This is cued up to the refrain, "Under eternity", which was the topic of a conversation or two today, between some photos of medieval churches, some Grateful Dead, and not least of all, the funeral of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth.

It's a long, trippy Dead song.... scroll back to hear the whole thing. But this refrain... have not heard in years and years. Eerie...>

Don't mind me, I'm only sleeping.... 🎢 πŸ’€

Found this sleeper hiding on a long-open tab /TMI

Of note, this was shared in 2017, before the slew of new archival footage appeared in 2022, via the film Get Back.
This is from a much earlier time, 1966 - working on the transformational "Revolver" - as their fame and song catalog were exploding, along with creativity and chemistry.Even in this period, a glimpse into their rehearsal and first takes truly captures their genius.

The Beatles Unplugged: Rehearsing "I'm Only Sleeping"

The track is labeled "acoustic guitar" but it sounds to me like 'the boys' are playing on their electric guitars, "unplugged".
The harmonies and magic are still amazing to behold, especially the new takes most of us haven't heard endlessly.

Flow of consciousness...
I saw Seth Meyers make a joke about Rudy (Giuliani) calling himself Ruby .... and this song popped into my head.

Ruby Baby...

Really loved this song and album, as a vinyl LP track from super studio musicians with a super recording. "Headphone music". 🎧
No, not Ruby Tuesday.Another great Ruby song! (But you can't fool me, it's almost or already Thursday!) Ah, Ruby ruby...

For Jimi Hendrix Fans -
Beatles fans got an amazing 8 hour slice of real life - near the end of Beatles (Get Back!)

For Hendrix fans, there's this. Only 31:35 long, and a week before he died! Here's a clean recording of Hendrix on his reputation, playing, song-writing, etc., with some excellent questions and context from the interviewer. Just re-watched. πŸ†

Just for you... I cued up a section of it where Hendrix had just finished talking about psychadelia, his image, and his plans to incorporate classical music seamlessly into his music... and here is his vision, pre-DVD's, LCD TVs, Internet, etc., of the future home entertainment center, as Beta/VHS was the state of the art at the time. Sounds a lot like where we are today! Then he talks about the ideals and economics of large rock festivals... and local concerts. (Free is best) And "luxury". That's the tail - cued up here, but you can wind it back to the beginning for the full thing. I just finished Get Back. This was like the icing on the (1969) cake. You're welcome! :))
