I forgot to say 2 minutes before it went live across the nation, the feed to the bass players amp blew up. Lots of browning of pants happened in that moment, and was fixed just before the titles rolled. It happens to everybody.

Later was on this morning with a hour and a half show, "Legends". Clips from lots of shows, some good stuff too. Carole King and Glen Campbell were particularly good, I missed the first 30 minutes with The Pretenders and David Gilmour.
I like most of the shows. I especially like how they have new music and people you haven't (probably) seen in decades.
Everyone has a skeleton closet, roight?

I adore the moments when you first watch something like Metallica or David Bowie, and 15 seconds after them a young band (maybe in their first nationwide TV-performance) plays full of adrenalin and mayde overdoing a little. 

It's time for a new live music show in the U.S. The last good one was Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, which went off the air in 1981. (No, Live from Daryl's House doesn't count; it's too heavily edited.) More people are attending live shows than ever before, and it's the only way for a band to make money nowadays.
 
Perhaps we could start a letter-writing campaign for the BBC to bring LWJH to America. After all, there is a long history of British shows that did well after being re-imagined for an American audience. Sanford & Son, The Office, America's Got Talent, the X Factor, American Idol, Antiques Roadshow, All in the Family, Dancing with the Stars - all based on British TV shows. 
 
Of course, the record isn't 100% success. Anybody see the American version of Red Dwarf? Exactly.
 

I can't get Red Dwarf on Netflix any more. I could watch re-runs for years and still laugh.

Add Top Gear to that list.  HORRIBLE recreation!  The original is heads and shoulders above it.
