From the first clip at West Point, I see your point about the backstop & the view. Always a problem when designing music venues, how to compromise between visual & acoustic performance.
I don't expect to see Price Chopper signs in Army mess halls anytime soon. However, I think some very creative things could be done with semi-transparent logos and animations in the corners of videos from smart missles hitting targets.

On that song (was it Secret Love?) Trophy Point was not the venue, and I don't think it was even at West Point. Yes, I like the "heads up display technology" idea for the semi-transparent backstop.  |

I got a kick out of the girl accompanying. Her level is too high and she was too close to Armstrong, upstaging him, especially when she did those little wiggles! Hahahaha!
I noticed right after he called the drummer, "Danny Barcelona, a little Filipino boy on the drums," he referred to himself as "the little Arabian boy, Satchmo." I wonder if that was to make up for his comment about the drummer.

Definitely a different time. He was a unique talent.
I think I used these when I was playing with covers a bit ago, I ran across them again today.
This piece is used by my physician/musician cousin when he ends a gig.

Bob Seger
For some reason, it feels like a Bob Seger morning. He's Still The Same, and wiki says: "His iconic signature song "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001. "Old Time Rock & Roll" charted #2 as most played Jukebox Singles of all Time, second only to Patsy Cline's "Crazy". (I didn't know that.) With a career spanning five decades, Seger continues to perform and record today.
The tour version.

Just the sound should bring back memories to at least a few of us.

Chaka KhanI like everything about this woman, but probably not her politics. I like her looks, her attitude, her voice and her choice of the music she writes and the music she covers. There's what I call a "metro" sound to all of it and I'm reminded of my days in Da City years ago when I listen to her.

Brooks and Dunn
These guys have found a good A&R man (or woman.)
Nice arrangements, smooth sound.
Here's my favorite by B&D. In this, the video is over cooked, but it's an example of taking the arrangement of the original song (by BW Stevenson) and tweaking it to perfection.
Just to round it out. Apt for the genre.

And here's an interesting interview, even though the interviewers appear to be a couple of numbskulls. The woman appears to be juiced! PS, I didn't know Mick Jagger used to OPEN for Little Richard. |
