Whoa! Nice selection. Never heard of him but … damn!!
Bump (I'm fairly sure one or both of these have appeared here or elsewhere, but not in the mood to track it/them down).
I was not familiar with either video. Both are real fun.
In the first one (home movies), the crew seems to be much the same as those in Stop Making Sense. The second video was live from one of Byrne's tours. I love how he used the violins to replace the synth.
This one, from 1988, remains one of my favorite videos ever. https://youtu.be/2twY8YQYDBE?si=ZucWy4WQZmof4mv8
I also was keyed in on the violins supplanting the synth. If one was, you know, a gullible sort...........one might take Byrne for some sort of a musical genius, or something of the sort.
Had not seen your selection - or if I had, it was so long ago, totally forgotten.
Tina's father?
Edit : Forget it, I forgot she got her name from the wife-beater...
If you ever had the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John, you know this song. I don't think it got much radio play 50 years ago because it's over 11 minutes. Except maybe on our awesome underground FM station. Maybe that's why my friends had not heard of the song! Which astonished me! Awesome song!!!
Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding

PS: fun fact. Love lies bleeding is a flower!
Here's some info on the two songs melded into one.

So, I mentioned the song yesterday and got asked a bunch of questions about it, and was asked to sing it. Uh yeah. I described the first part then sang some after the switchover. Lol. I did pretty good! Til after "...was born to grow and die". And as for all the questions I didn't know the answers to, today I looked it up.
Now I'm gonna look up those lyrics.
I'm slowly going through the amazing live performances at youtube . . .
If it's on the jukebox you'll get your money's worth.
It seems from the comments that everyone thinks it's his best song. I have to agree!
I used to think Iggy Pop was sort of a creepy dude, but then I just listened to his music, interviews, lyrics, then watched him dance like ballerina...next thought: "Whoa, I really really estimated this dude disrespectfully."
Somebody tell me that super-hot brunette danseuse' name, please.
"...didn't have the decency to change the sheets..." - Prince song
That "Songs of 1975 to 1979, Vol. 3" was mis-labeled on the screen. Up in the right-top corner, it said "Best Songs of 1975 to 1979". Should have been "WORST Songs of 1975 to 1979". What dreck - even considering that time period. Sorry; that's just pretty factual.
Zeppelin and Stones made great stuff then ('75-'79)...Rush and Pink Floyd as well, I'd say...then again, I suppose those are all imports...ha!
...(The Clash, another import...tbc...
[For clarification.........this was posted in response to BrewCrew's "closeted" post above. He added some intervening posts before I could get this one up.]
Oh, agreed. I liked some disco - and have never failed to acknowledge that fact. "Saturday Night Fever" (just as one easy example) was a superb album - and even stands the test of time - mostly. There was some good disco (I may well even have posted some herein); there was a LOT of baaad disco. Disco is no excuse whatsoever for lip-synching, even tho that was (by some of the mainstream only) 'accepted'(?) at the time. It's no excuse for the cheesy aspects (you know what I mean) that were evident even then. *Despite* the often-accompanying overly-lush orchestration, there was some good, worthwhile stuff. But it's no excuse for the let's-jump-on-the-bandwagon-because-everybody-is-doing-it sell-outs that some (otherwise) quality bands undertook. It's no excuse for the plethora of "Hey-let's-see-if-we-can-make-some-of-this-ourselves" bandwagoning. (The "Tom, Dick, and Harry" phenomenon.) Disco is not **inherently** dreck - but all, or virtually all, of that video are. And I don't even need to qualify that with a "imo". It's just so. If you disagree, that's ok. But history has already judged that stuff - and judged harshly. ALL THAT SAID..............one need not apologize for just having whatever persnickety affectations one chooses to hold onto. No doubt I have some of those my own bad self.
Indeed.........there was some GREAT non-disco music during the late '70s. The ones you mentioned; but also Boston, Fleetwood Mac, Bruce, the Dead, lots of blues artists, and really far too many to mention. I've got beaucoups of it on hand. And that stuff really did NOT get lost in the shuffle (yes, intended). It's just perhaps sometimes 'overshadowed' (tho not really) by cursory observers.
i can't sit and listen to disco. if the "disco cringe" sets in (with very few exceptions it usually does) i change to something else.
that said, pink floyd had a song the "contained elements of disco". i never noticed. when i heard about it i re-listened and sure enough it was there.
there's an interesting disco/lipsynching connection between Bony M and Milli Vanilli
There's been one in Jefferson, watch out!
VOCCE!

The End
One can nit-pick some tiny things about the movie (well-documented) - or even the music...............but both are powerful; and the editing here, and linkage are genius.

even better on SNL...

Chrissie with her main guys (nobody had died yet) at the Agora Ballroom, Atlanta, Aug. 15, 1981. I didn't take this shot, but it's very close to where I was standing. Maybe I was just *slightly* further away.
Outrageously great show. Only time I ever saw them. I believe I much earlier posted a pic with the ticket stub - maybe on my pictures pages. [Just checked, and yes, it's there.]
Played by Bartok... Bela Bartok - Allegro Barbaro, Sz. 49
Covered by ELP (with front and end part) ELP - The Barbarian - Lyceeum Theatre 1970
cellmate, I get "video unavailable" for the first link. Probably one of them furrin' things.
try this one. it shows the score as he plays. https://youtu.be/-3kR_wQlomk?si=c_Iz-_FU4iKHczjw
Yeah, that works. Thanks. Never been a Bartok fan, but I recognize the talent. Amazing that that was recorded 97 years ago.
