      @goosehd That was back in the day when the music industry still had lots of money. Viva Music Television was the German competitor to MTV, based in Cologne. For a few years, they pulled off a large music festival where the city center was basically closed down. IIRC, they even had Manowar headlining the thing at one occasion.

      I guess the beard and the jeans shorts are the two things that only Lemmy could pull off...

      I love his final appearance:

        @tody I love the sly smile at the end and he was truly one of a kind or "The Ace of Spades".

          Ok...throwing this out there for a thought and want to see what you guys think. The music league was a lot of fun and focused on themes for each voting period. Not everyone participated and due to schedules/timing it was difficult for everyone to listen and stay involved.

          One of my favourite activities on the forum for many years is a "Theme Week" where each day, we had a theme and all dressed according to the theme. I love music and it's one of the things that truly makes me happy, and I was wondering if we could combine elements of the two.

          No voting, just submitting our favourite songs for each genre for the day's theme.

          If there is enough interest we can do a "WAYLT - What are you listening to?" week that everyone can get involved with.

          Give me your thoughts and possible themes and maybe we can put something together.

          Caveat: "No Voting involved, no winners, no losers"...just pure, simple music that fits the theme 🙂

              @goosehd this sounds fun. I like the challenge of the music league but having the freedom to dip in and out will be good. There will definitely be some categories where I'm on home turf and others where I need the good folks on here to lead me to new listening pleasures 🙂

                  @goosehd What a great great clip.Can’t believe I’ve never seen it. I’m guessing you tagged me because somewhere I must’ve mentioned being a huge fan. Thanks!!!

                    @Jett129 It’s the first time I’ve run across that clip, couldn’t believe how good they sounded, and immediately thought of you. Morrison was taken from us way too soon…

                    Edit: Yes, you had mentioned it awhile ago and I have one of those memories where I attach people with certain things. I can remember conversations and small details, but ask me to remember someone’s name and I will blank out.

                      @goosehd Please tell me you knew that they were lip syncing. For starters there’s no amps,and when they do the shortened version of Light My Fire,Densmore forgets to do the accents etc.

                        @Jett129 I was engrossed in the sound and didn’t pay attention to the performance…hanging my head in shame and didn’t know that they lip synced back in 67…

                        Lesson learned… 😞

                            @goosehd Bands played live on Ed Sullivan but not on American Bandstand. There was a whole big todo about Ed Sullivan asking/telling Morrison not to sing “Girl we couldn’t get much higher” Morrison assured him he wouldn’t and then did it anyway,which prompted the famous exchange where he was told you’ll never do the Ed Sullivan show again,to which he responded…I just did the Ed Sullivan show.

                                @Jett129 I’ve been going down the rabbit hole since you mentioned that…it seems like tv recording equipment couldn’t handle heavily amped performances and many of the so called live shows on tv were all prerecorded or sung to backing tracks.

                                I honestly didn’t know that lip syncing had been a thing for so long and learned something tonight.

                                Thank you.

                                    @goosehd This was performed live and if you listen closely at about 3:58 in you can hear them sing Up Against the Wall Mother Fuckers. Can’t believe they didn’t get in trouble for this.
