Rockabilly week was a huge success. I actually have traffic. People read this blog. As a thank you to the fine folks at Planet Zeppelin for the clicks (I joined your board, but I am awaiting moderation), I give you locats.
Also, oddly enough, Harvey Korman’s passing coincided with my posting of a clip from History of the World Part 1, featuring the late Mr. Korman. I’m sorry he died. He was hilarious.
Ok, so we’ll see who I mark for death next, in the Youdopia Premonition Laughorama. Stay tuned.
This is from (I think) 2001, and features Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and the late, and legendary Ahmet Ertegun (whose memorial concert featured the reunion of Led Zeppelin) performing My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It. It was for the album, A Tribute To Sun Records. Ahmet produced this track, as he produced the Honeydrippers album 25 years ago. Enjoy.
I don’t know why, but I’m on a rockabilly kick. It started with the Robert Plant and Alison Krauss business, jumped to Neil Young, and now it’s Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. This show was neat, in that it was a strictly rockabilly set, even though they did play Heart In Your Hand, that’s a lonesome reverb song as well. Good stuff for the rockabilly fans. The boys stay true, and really play the style. I like Jimmy’s little riffs. This is the music he cut his teeth on.
I remember this from the good old video days of MTV. If I recall correctly, the director/editor cut out every fifth frame (or something) to give the video that herky jerky look. I don’t know whose idea it was to make Neil look like a transient. Probably his. Great song. Great mono mix. Great video. Tap them toes. It ain’t armegeddon yet.
