Post your favorite clips from U-Tube, let's start a collection

I was enjoying some Little Feat on the YouTube last night and the following came up in rotation. I was psyched to see Ry Cooder jamming with one of my favorite post-psychedelic bands, disappointed to learn it was just two separate clips put together for some reason, and finally pleased to see a different version of one of my all-time favorite mandolin performances. Another "Brownsville" - fine by me.



Also, taking the time to catch up on some folks posting links rather than videos. Now, for the sake of convenience:

Good old autoplay turned this up from three years ago. Guess I missed it because this is one of those internet-only non-broadcast extra songs. Looks like she's playing an emando. Can't tell the maker.

I am glad to see that someone else on the cafe is a fan of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band of Barcelona, Catalonia. Joan Chamorro has done an amazing job with these Spanish kids. One of the first graduates of this group is Andrea Motis whose phrasing of the non-native English is better than that of Eva Fernandez, whose video you posted. Andrea and Eva are two of the first to have their jazz careers launched by this group.

Here is one of my favorite youtube videos featuring the Sant Andreu Jazz Band.



Joan brings in jazz greats to play with his band and the kids hold up their side of the music quite well.

I like the way Eva Fernandez sings with her slightly edgy English diction. They are both great jazz musicians.

Thanks for helping with the office work. Far from the biggest deal, but still, it makes smoother viewing.

how the heck do you upload a youtube video to this thread? i would vote several planxty videos, ross daly in the berlin concerts and the paul brady version of arthur mcbride.

There's a brief tutorial somewhere in the Help section, but basically ...

In the url code that is displayed in the address bar for your clip, select and copy the string of characters after the watch?v= There should be 11 characters. In the post you are composing, click Go Advanced. Above the message pane you'll see a red youtube icon. Click on that, and paste the code into the space in the dialogue box that pops up. Press enter and, voila!

I've always been a fan of Zoe Deschanel ... now even more so!!!

[journeybear]

I know! As if I needed another reason to swoon ...

[Dobe]

Might have been posted before. I think Martys' Gibson ? sounds a little 'richer' than Ronnies Gil. Wonderful all around, none the less.

And this is also wonderful !

[NickP]

Somebody tell me this isn't the most beautiful mando piece ever.

Xtra Strings with Andy Statman's Flatbush Waltz.

[wallygator]

as the kids say thats a "drop the mike" type of deal there

[Petrus]

Not sure if this has been posted before in the past 50 pages or elsewhere but ... Chris Thile enjoying a little (well, a big) mandocello at Carter's Vintage is definitely a keeper.

[soliver]

This popped up following the above Thile on Mandocello vid.... pretty awesome... Mike Marshall goes through a couple of pieces on the instrument... The same Bach piece as well as wayfaring stranger... GOOD stuff

[journeybear]

Thought I'd share this with all y'all. Came up in conversation elsewhere, and it occurred to me that though I've occasionally mentioned my dexterity on this crude yet evocative instrument, I may not have offered an example for your edification, entertainment, and/or amusement. So here you go.



This is our award-winning performance in the Group category at last year's conch shell blowing contest. It's really the incredibly charming Clementine's doing; I'm just backing her up with a little counterpoint. Fun stuff. But I'm not going to quit my day job.



From my championship performance in the Adult Male category in 2011. I also played "Smoke On The Water." Note the hat. Yep - this is the kind of stuff I put up on YouTube.

For your listening pleasure:

I mentioned some time back I was impressed with what I'd herd from Jessie Baylin. I just learned she has a fairly new album out - well, a year old now ... not exactly getting the promotion she deserves. While searching for clips I stumbled onto this live performance of my favorite song of hers. It's from Grimey's, a record store in Nashville - while scanning I thought it said "Grammys" and thought, "Wow! I didn't know she played the Grammys! Missed that." Anyway ... While my favorite version is still the first one I saw on Carson Daly, at The Troubadour, with The Watson Twins on backing vocals, the guitar lead on this impressed me mightily, so I thought I'd share it.



Also I thought I'd embed this from the link in post #1516. Not exactly sure who this is, but there's a lot of good stuff going on here.

[Claudia Amslinger]

As there was "Helena" from Session Americana:
One of my favorite clips these days: Great Western Rail. Written and sung by Jefferson Hamer with Session Americana. Recorded live in the studio at Armory Sound, Somerville MA.
It is online only for a few weeks and I have listened to it really many times.

[journeybear]

Just saw this posted on facebook. Quiet, sparse, lovely. A little flourish on mandolin. Not sure by whom, as there are three mandolinists listed in the credits. One of them is Sam Bush, but I don't think it's him.



It's from Loretta's album "Full Circle." her first studio album in 10 years.Released in March, it debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Country chart and No. 19 on Billboard 200, the highest in her career on that chart. I didn't even know it was out. Nashville does this all the time, though - somehow staying current means ignoring the past, or at best taking it for granted.

All four parts of this interview are posted on another thread, but in case you missed them ...



The third part includes Tony's "world premiere" performance of a new song called "Hickory Mountain."

[lflngpicker]

If we're including non-mando content, here is one of my all-time favorites. These cats could swing!



And for some mandolin content, this cat sure can swing that wrist. Check out the mandolin solo @ 1:46.

This double picking is made to look so effortless! Amazingly sung and played.

Some pretty wonderful wood of all sorts plucked on here. I especially liked the L&H and the D'Angelico that John played !

I didn't go through all 61 pages of this thread, so please excuse me if this is a duplicate post - but I just came across it, and even though I am generally not a fan of fast playing, I thought this was MOST impressive . . . .
