Another Musical Interlude: Operatic Drama in Rock and Roll: Some of My Favorite Spine Tinglers


The Elton John thing was running through my mind, so I started putting this together. We'll have to see what YouTube has to offer. There's sort of a theme here, at least  to me, ill-defined as it may be.
I'll be adding to it as time goes on. Watch this space.

Elton John, Funeral For A Friend/ Love Lies Bleeding:

Funeral for a Friend

Lou Reed, Intro/ Sweet Jane (From Rock and Roll Animal):

Sweet Jane

Leon Russell at The Concert For Bangledesh, Jumpin' Jack Flash/ Youngblood:

Youngblood/Jumping Jack Flash

Bruce Springsteen ( I should have the whole The Wild, The Innocent, and The E Street Shuffle album, but this will do nicely) On second thought, I can't pick, and the album goes together as one long operatic piece. And it was here, on YouTube. Anyway, this whole album is my favorite thing out of a great career,  The Boss and the E-Streeters at their peak (Some of this has been replaced by concert footage. I wanted to just put the studio album in here. Not bad, just a little rough.):

The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle

More to come.

Grateful Dead, China Cat Sunflower/ I Know You Rider
And the one LP that always took me away. Maybe cliche', but fuck it, still gives me chills. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, Derek & the Dominoes. Any younger folk following this blog? If you haven't heard this, get your ear budz in (or whatever you guys do these days...)

Layla

http://www.nytimes.com/1989/04/05/us/education-vermont-seeks-tighter-rules-for-prviate-schools.html We made the New York Times http://marthamoxley.com/news/042802gt.htm And our OTHER claim to infamy : Micheal Skakel and the Moxley murder This was one of the places I went to school. A very unique place in a very unique time. Pictured, the dining hall in the main building, "The Lodge", and a few years after the place closed down. For Vershireites with foggy memories (for whatever reasons), or nostalgia: http://web.archive.org/web/20080624190520/http://www.vershireschool.org/ I think Chip Allee put this together, but it's no longer maintained.
