grumpyhack Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 The original US TV version of MASH has a canned laughter track. But the UK release was without the electronically added giggles, which the cast and producers said they much preferred. BANGERS Sorry no performance video. We know Points mean prizes - what do points mean......? I don't know if I get a point for this bit of pop trivia but the Goon Show featuring Peter Sellers was originally produced by George Martin, who later went on to produce that little-known (at the time) band called The Beatles. My favourite Sellers film was There's a Girl in My Soup featuring the lovely Goldie Hawn and some stunning views of France. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneeye Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) HITS And some of Peter Sellers most memorable Pink Panther moments; brilliant And some outakes Edited December 1, 2016 by oneeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted December 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) More than a one hit WONDER And Michael comes on to celebrate Glasto's 40th. Finishing off the Peter Sellers/Clouseau stories. When I was duty manager of a fairly big festival we had a series of codes to give out over the P.A. in case of emergencies. And the one for a Bomb scare was: "Would Mr Sellers please report to .......... (The area of concern)" - because everyone remembered the way Sellers/Clouseau would say: "It's a beoooumb!"

grumpyhack Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 EYES Not a very good quality video but Art did a pretty good set. All the things Paul Simon should have done but didn't when he played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevethin Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 When will I SEE you again. If this were on the car radio I'd sing along to this (out of tune and not making some of the lyrics up !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted December 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) CLEARLY This is was magical Glastonbury moment. It was hissing down when Jimmy Cliff came on. By the time he finished his set the rain had stopped and the sun had come out. The power of song.

grumpyhack Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Partly inspired by a family outing last night to see an excellent show by the Bootleg Beatles I think we should still give it a CHANCE.

oneeye Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 GAMBLER Kenny Rogers was ace in 2013; unfortunately I can't find a decent Glastonbury rendition so this will have to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 FARMER Great song from Show of Hands about a Galway Farmer who went over to Cheltenham Races and put all his money on a horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevethin Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Farmers are in the country so I'll go out on a limb with Jake Thackray's COUNTRY Bus. He was a really nice bloke, a true wordsmith, and gone too soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 LIFE Sorry if I'm on a Show of Hands roll at the moment but this is another song from Devon's finest lamenting the loss of country life.

grumpyhack Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Or you can take a SIDEWAYS look A band with a great legacy that spawned Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Led Zepp and many others. Still touring nearly 50 years on, mainly in the US, with the original drummer and rhythm guitarist and gigs booked well into 2017.

grumpyhack Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 DOWN One of the great bands that changed the shape of music in the UK. GrumpyGonner Chas Chandler sold his bass guitars to help fund bringing Jimi Hendrix to the UK and later went on to also manage Slade.

oneeye Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 It has to be GET Slade, with Chas in the sidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpyhack Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) BACK A pretty stellar line up all having a great time. I read somewhere that Tina Turner taught Mick Jagger to dance and move on stage. Slade live were superb. I don't know if you ever caught them Oneeye.

oneeye Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 LIFE I didn't get to see Noddy grumps, but I have seen what's left of Slade more recently; a great night out. Worth checking out 'from dole to soul' on catch up, an insite into Jazzie B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Do. The start of the video shows excellent fuel economy, as the vehicle chase goes from day to night on 1 tank of fuel at high speed. Hmmm, not a big fan of Meat, but on the principle of the first thing that comes into my head, he's it, today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
