Bruno Mars, Anderson Paak, Silk Sonic - Leave the Door Open LIVE from the 63rd GRAMMYs ® 2021
Here's one of the better live performances featured on last night's Grammys. I'm not usually a fan of this sort of "contemporary R&B," but after seeing a good review, I gave this one a whirl. Took a couple of verses, but by the end I was thinkin', "Damn! These guys can sing!" For the record, this appears to be live singing against a prerecorded backing track.
Thanks for sharing that! Second piece of vinyl I bought had that song. Thought Nancy was all that and then some back then. Fun to see her solo. Really like her guitar playing.
There’s nothing more ridiculous than watching a movie or tv show and hearing a red-tailed hawk call dubbed into the soundtrack while a bald or golden eagle is shown on the screen. Many directors and producers apparently think a eagle call is not impressive enough. It’s amazing how many times I’ve encountered this in movies and television.
Anyhow, red-tailed hawks are impressive for a number of reasons - the talon-grasping display, their adaptability to human-altered habitats, and their intelligence, as well as their vocalizations. I was helping out at a banding station on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay (years ago) and had a red-tailed hawk sneak up on a lure bird stationed on the side of the blind. The hawk came from the woods behind the blind, and it walked from the woods to the starling, so it was less visible to us. I caught sight of the attacker before it could kill the little starling, but it was a close call.
This is latter-day Boz, circa 2000 or thereabouts, delivering a near-perfect live version of "Loan Me a Dime," the blues standard by Fenton Robinson. Boz's original studio recording dates to 1969, and features the great Duane Allman on guitar. In this live performance, leads are played by Boz and Drew Zingg. Drew is an amazing soloist who toured with Steely Dan in the early 90s before teaming up with Boz Scaggs in 1996.
Bruce Hornsby singing lead on Fire? Very tricky! And a nice surprise, to boot. Got me to look it up: Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead. Trey must be glad he's there. His smile is infectious! Now I gotta check out the Panic you posted.
