In honor of the Saints playing a shitty excuse for a football game, here is a shitty excuse for a non-Phish post:

Phil Ochs on Come, Read To Me a Poem (April 12, 1967)



Phil Ochs was a talented folk singer-songwriter of the period, probably second only to Dylan. Come, Read To Me a Poem was apparently a public TV show dedicated to that particular art form. This being the '60s, there is a lot of rock-lyrics-are-poetry talk. The interview section of the tape is actually fairly interesting for Ochs' discussion of the songwriting process.



If you like this sort of thing you might also like the Ochs version of Poe's "The Bells".

Roy Orbison & Friends: A Black & White Night (September 30,1987)

quote:

---

Put together by musical director T-Bone Burnett, Orbison was accompanied by a supporting backing band which included many notable musical performers. All were fans who volunteered to participate in the special. The backing band was the TCB Band, which accompanied Elvis Presley from 1969 until his death in 1977: Glen D. Hardin|Lyle Lovitt on piano, James Burton on lead guitar, Jerry Scheff on bass, and Ronnie Tutt on drums. Male background vocalists, some of whom also joined in on guitar, were Bruce Springsteen, Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Lyle Lovett, and Steven Soles. The female background vocalists were k.d. lang, Jennifer Warnes, and Bonnie Raitt. During the end credits, several of the band members are shown talking about how Orbison influenced them.

I have that Bataclan show on my computer. Berlin is my favorite Reed track and they do a great rendition.

"Berlin" may be my favorite Reed track too.

Do you know if "Berlin" was written by Reed post-VU, or if it was first done by the actual Velvet Underground and then recut by Reed solo, like "Satellite Of Love"?

Tim Buckley - Live in London (October 7, 1968)



If you only know Tim Buckley as the father of Jeff, you're missing out. Tim was a talented songwriter with an extraordinary voice, producing classics like "Song To The Siren" (unfortunately not included in this set -- you can see Tim perform it on the Monkees TV show here), "Pleasant Street", and the heartbreakingly beautiful "Morning Glory".

My Fleeting House -- Watch online, feature-length documentary on Tim Buckley, with interviews and performance clips

Brinsley Schwarz on German TV (March 6, 1975)



Very rare clips from an otherwise lost Rockpalast appearance by the kings of Pub Rock. These clips only survived because they were rerun on a morning TV show a few days later. The hostess and panelists are clearly having the time of their lives.

The highlights of this brief set are the Brinsleys' classic riff on Sweetheart-era Byrds, "Country Girl", and an early performance of a recent composition by bassist Nick Lowe, a little ditty called "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, & Understanding".

"Country Girl"
"Love Is Gone"
"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, & Understanding"
"Range War"
"Run Rudolph Run" (why is Chuck Berry's Christmas classic on a show from March?)







A pic from a wild appearance on Dutch TV. Unfortunately the classic if chaotic clip this comes from was removed from YouTube

The Magicians - Four to Go (Eye On New York, WCBS-TV 1966)




Another unique historical document -- a short film (produced by a local NY TV station) about The Magicians, a NYC band that seemed just on the verge of hitting it big, but never quite broke through. While no NYC group could be considered "typical" of the period's garage bands, this film does offer a fascinating inside glimpse of a rock musician's lifestyle and concerns just before hippies and the psychedelic era -- much of the film details the band members being hassled for wearing long hair, and a clear but unmentioned subtext is the band's transition from Stonesish R&B to Dylanesque folk-rock.



It's theoretically possible someone else here may have heard The Magicians, as their classic single "An Invitation to Cry" was included on the legendary Nuggets compilation of '60s garage bands.
