This weekend's musical treat

So, music should be a joyful noise, and then they say say its got a good beat and you can dance to it helps. So, whether you are a table tapper, a desk dancer or you go in full out shake your booty mode, this weekend is for you.

Play this in 1080p


This is from 1938. The concert was performed in Carnegie Hall. This is the music my parents and other's grandparents danced to in the 30s, 40s and beyond. In the opening scenes from the vid there is a curved building on the right side of Lower Broadway. I worked in that building for my first few years as a broker in the 1980s. The entrance is across the street from where the giant bull sculpture now stands.

Play it in 1440p


For a large woman Etta still moves, and it must be love...
Play it in 480p


And I know the music can make me move, and I know the music can make you guy move, and then there is this.
Back to 1440p
 
I too have pretty eclectic tastes. I missed most of the 60s but had plenty of older kids in the neighbourhood & family in the 70s so was fed a diet of metal, psychadelia and blues. I do have a passion for all things stringed. While searching for string quartets covering metal tracks I discovered these guys and its easy (and fun) to spend a couple of hours stalking them on Youtube :cool:
 
I was old for my age when I was young. My friends were often 3 to 5 years older than me -- They were Bobby Sox era, - but I did grow through the 60's into folk music, and blues influenced folk music. We were regulars at Cafe Lena in Saratoga Springs and still hold a "membership". Still go on occasion. Back in the 60's we got to see many future stars of the genre at Lena's.

My turning point -- Woodstock at all that entailed. Was there for the entire experience -- all of it -- :devil:

I leaned the difference between recorded music on my stereo and the electricity of live music at that event. After that experience I became a regular at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Many of the artists I lay on the lawn at SPAC in the 60's and 70's are now reappearing at the venue and we go pretty regular for a trip into memories. Unfortunately, we do not dance with the enthusiasm of the past, or even bob and weave to the music. Today, I sometimes muff my ears because what was once OK nor overwhelms my ears.

Ha ha, last year I went to seen a Stones tribute band outdoors. Never seen so many zimmer frames parked next to a stage :banana:
 
Zimmer Frame! Had to look that one up.

Not using one of them yet. Still get by with a walking stick when necessary. Serves as a crowd dispersion tool when I want to approach the stage.
