That list is deep! and good!!

Don't be shy, post up!! Mood Music V, seems to be the "go to" thread in general.

I've been collecting and preserving live performances for almost 25 yrs. Various trading circles, Dime A Dozen, Zappateers and a number of other sites. Radio & TV broadcasts, satellite feeds, unreleased studio recordings, soundboard recordings etc., but absolutely no official releases in the collection.

Still trading now and then but not like in the past.

Now close to 4,600 rare shows ranging from 1937-2020 safely stored in 6 road cases.

Upon my departure, the entire collection will go to the Berklee College in Boston where I received part of my music education.

I think this guy is extremely talented and clever with his choices and the whole creation to me is not like the cookie-cutter stuff out there... So... Just for the giggles of it.

From the musical Rent - La vie boheme.

Dewey Cox - Let's Duet.

Lyrics

E l'acqua scendeva dal cielo
Per quaranta giorni (e quaranta notte)
Un mare di fango portava
La morte sulla terra (la morte sulla terra)

Pioveva sui nostri peccati
Pioveva su di noi
(Pioveva sui nostri peccati
Pioveva su di noi)

Le urla del vento coprivano
I pianti ed i lamenti (i pianti ed i lamenti)
Corpi impazziti correvano
In mezzo a quell'orrore (in mezzo a quell'orrore)

Qualcuno si mise a pregare
E tutto si calmò
(Qualcuno si mise a pregare
E tutto si calmò)

E dopo millenni rivedo
Scendere dal ciеlo
(?) di fumo nero
Pioggia di veleno

Qualcuno cominci a prеgare
Se si vorrà salvare
(Qualcuno cominci a pregare
Se si vorrà salvare)

Hair - From the musical (2009).

I have just fallen in love [with] her all over again!!

Linda Rondstadt



Even a cover song makes me gasp!

Ennio Morricone - The Mission (main themes).

Morricone conducts Morricone.
