Mekons: Ghost of American Astronauts

Ghost of American Astronauts was first released on the 1988 Mekons album So Good It Hurts. I used to carpool from Berkeley to San Francisco and I heard this song on one of the rides…

Arcade Fire Live… in an Elevator

A few weeks ago, I posted Arcade Fire playing Neon Bible in an elevator. This is the complete 15 minute film by Vincent Moon from the Olympia in Paris. The film follows Arcade Fire through the backstage corridors, the elevator and eventually to the crowd and features both Neon Bible & Wake Up.

John Coltrane: Alabama

The John Coltrane Quartet (John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones) in 1963, on the television program Jazz Casual, playing Alabama which Coltrane had recently written as a memorial to three children murdered in an Alabama church by white supremecists.

Pink Floyd: Echoes

Echoes is Pink Floyd’s 23-minute-plus epic song originally released on the 1971 album Meddle. It is presented here in three video parts of a live performance filmed and recorded in Pompeii. This is Pink Floyd transitioning out of their psychedelic past and establishing their sound. It seems perfectly appropriate to kick off my blog with this. Plug in your speakers or headphones and turn it up loud. Enjoy.
