Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Tuesday, October 31, 2006 16 Of Your Sparks

"WHIPPING POST"
"VAUGHN JAM"
"VALDEZ"
"EL PASO"
"THRILL IS GONE"


Welcome To THE COUCH...Sit on Down and Get Comfy..

Hope everyone had a wonderful HALLOWEEN...full of safe fun, plenty of candy and some spooky times.

THE COUCH got back to the hotel and just decided to stay quiet and do some searches on youtube.com.

Not exactly what THE COUCH began looking for, but eventually got around to doing some music searches and today, THE COUCH is going to be a bit self-indulgent (hey that's the true definition of blogging anyway) and share some things found.

For those of you who are not real familiar with there artists, please please please sit back and let these load.

If you have a slow connection, as soon as the video begins to play, hit the pause button and allow them to fully load before playing them. It really ruins the mood if the videos pause over and over.

Anndi and Lynn...THE COUCH knows you can't watch them at work, but you will be in for a treat when you get home!


There is a common theme for these and that is the pairing of two wonderful guitarists on songs that will blow you away.

The first comes in two parts...due to it's length. It is from September 23, 1970...Fillmore East, New York City...this show became legend and one of the best live albums ever released...

Yes, it is The Allman Brothers Band...Listen to the interplay between Duane and Dickie Betts...Watch the facial expressions of Duane as he just makes the guitar sing and at the end of part two does a back and forth with his brother Greg...Whipping Post...





Next we visit the Vaughn Brothers, Jimmy and Stevie Ray. This is a special clip as the brothers play together but in an incredibly unique way...This is truly brotherly love!


Do not know where this next clip is from, though it looks to be a television show...George Benson teams with Carlos Santana on the song "Valdez"...cool as the other side of the pillow (with props to Stewart Scott of ESPN for the phrase)...


Finally... Las Vegas June, 26, 1994, just 14 months before Jerry left us.. The Grateful Dead perform one of my all time favorite songs "El Paso", the story of love and death and the consequences...Gotta love Bob Weir and Jerry in shorts...LOL



THE COUCH will be away until Monday, as I leave tomorrow to go back to NJ, pack the U-Haul and do the 16-hour drive with Matt...

The next time you sit here, it will officially be located in Memphis...

OK, Now I did it... how can I talk about living in Memphis without this last video...

No clue where it is from but...the legendary BB King, Eric Clapton and Phil Collins on the drums... Oh baby the Thrill will never be gone...




St. J - P.B.U.A.Q.B.
