Two Eagles performances in one, from a 1974 episode of Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, with the band alone doing "James Dean"; and then they're joined by their fellow Laurel Canyon Mafia friends Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt for an extended jam on "Take It Easy" (admittedly the quality of the video could be better, but I've seen worse):

"Hillbilly Boogie", interesting. I always thought that boogie woogie was mostly a black type of music, but I guess that all those styles are related and that everybody influenced everybody else.(?) That's pretty much it. Piano boogie is older than formalized commercial music. It seems to have originated in the honky-tonk tents of logging and oilfield workers and was enjoyed by both Blacks and Whites. The people working there would often be migrants, away from home, poor, and less inhibited by the "race" conventions of more formal society. When it spread to other areas, White musicians would tend to play to mainly White audiences, and Blacks to Blacks - and the record companies and radio stations tended to increase and reinforce the idea of racially defined genres - but many musicians continued to borrow influences from each other.

Complete change here - but mentioning the Chicks' old friend Sara Hickman in the Austin charity thread made me think some of you might like to see her performing a recent video.
(Sara's daughter appears with her)
More typically, one of Sara's live performances - where all the Outlaws play (and where NRTMN made number one on the local radio station), the famous Texas live venue, the Gruene Hall, outside New Braunfels)

Ian Tyson's "Four Strong Winds" was voted by CBC listeners as "the best Canadian Song of all time".
Written in 1961 about migrant farm workers, it became a staple of Western Music, being recorded countless times (there were more than fifty versions in the first five years alone). The latest is on a just-released album by Shawn Brush.
Here it is sung live, in the 1980s, by Ian and his wife, Sylvia Fricker Tyson :

Link works!
I sucked when I did play the guitar, I'd probably suck at that too.

I'd like to try it, but we (my son) have game cube - bought 3 years ago and it's almost obsolete. (and an old Nintendo)

I'm not a video game fanatic. The last video game I owned was Odyssey 200 by Magnaxox (1975). Three action packed games. Hockey, Tennis & Smash.

Ha! I remember pong and the other few that came with it. I really don't like too many, I like FROGGER, and have mastered the couple they have out for the PC. Have done some frogger on gameboy & gamecube. Yes, I'm a frogger fanatic. Other than that I don't really care for much, Vectorman (ut oh, a little violent.....you're a robot that tries to kill bugs - and some monsters).

Hey, Drizzletown I bet you'll like this one! I haven't heard much of their work, but they sing this on the "Women Live from Mountain Stage" album Ann & Nancy Wilson, "The Battle of Evermore"

Love it Bingo!! The first commercially available recording of them doing this song was with the Lovemongers. And it was on the soundtrack for Cameron Crowes' (Nancy's hubby) movie "Singles". It was also released on a "single" Lovemongers cd with 3 other songs. The others being, a great cover of "Papa was a rolling stone", (an acoustic version) of Crazy On You, and Rundgrens' "Love of a common man". Okay, more information than you needed? Thanks for sharing.....................

Has anyone seen the comedian Gabriel Iglesias? He's hillarious. Here's a vid that I love. Especially the 5 levels of fatness and the GB comments.

Re. "American Trilogy":
Thanks for putting those YouTube videos on, thinwhitechick.
This was a highlight of Elvis' later shows, and is easily one of his most towering performances. And as a display of true patriotism, it beats Toby Keith and Darryl Worley by light years!

I was downloading video from 1972, the year I saw Elvis, when I ran across those videos from 1973. Memories. And I agree with what you posted. That's one of my favorite Elvis songs and performances.
I'm surprised Smuddy didn't chime in being the fan that she is.

Just to show how brave Linda can be, here are two YouTube videos of her from the 1974 Johnny Cash TV special A Concert Behind Prison Walls, doing two songs strongly associated with her:
Silver Threads And Golden Needles:
Love Has No Pride:

Did Ronstadt release it first? btw, she sounds great........but still like BR's version better.

Quote by drizzletown re. "Love Has No Pride":
Bonnie Raitt's came first, but Linda was the one who had a minor hit with hit in January 1974 (it's on Linda's 1973 album Don't Cry Now). Bonnie's version is blues-orineted, naturally, while Linda's is very torchy and pure country-rock balladry.

This song was first recorded in 1956 by the Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson (a big supporter of the Dixie Chicks, incidently). Still thrilling audiences in her seventies, here is a recent live performance by Miss Wanda. There've been many other versions - including the Springfields, the Grateful Dead and Skeeter Davis. For sheer fun, this trio version by the "Honky Tonk Angels" (Dolly, Loretta, Tammy) is worth watching. A large number of Country Music personalities make quick appearences at the door - including several who've since passed away (Grandpa Jones , Bill Monroe, Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins).
