It <i>was</i> common practice to pre-record a live take for television appearances to mitigate the risk of equipment/musician failure spilling out over live television (while playing fast-and-loose with some location's musician's union rules). As two voices are heard singing elsewhere, he may have been singing over his earlier take and missed a bit. Not sure if this is the case or someone else was singing with him. Still a treat and fun, no complaints.<br/><br/><div class='youtube-video'><object height='300' width='400' data='http://sa.kewego.com/swf/p3/epix.swf' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' id='iLyROoafYK8-' name='iLyROoafYK8-'> <param value='language_code=en&playerKey=0aeb3a12ff1f&skinKey=be90c92cfb3b&sig=iLyROoafYK8-&autostart=false' name='flashVars'> </param> <param value='http://sa.kewego.com/swf/p3/epix.swf' name='movie'> </param> <param value='true' name='allowFullScreen'> </param> <param value='always' name='allowscriptaccess'> </param></object></div><div style='width: 400px;'><a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/video/iLyROoafYK8-.html'>The Pretty Things - Cries From The Midnight Circus - My Beat Club</a> <br/>Live At Beat Club!<br/> <div>Keywords: <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=rock'>rock</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=live'>live</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=hard%20rock'>hard rock</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=hits'>hits</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=seventies'>seventies</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=beat%20club'>beat club</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=70s'>70s</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=livemusic'>livemusic</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=guilty%20pleasures'>guilty pleasures</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=classic%20hits'>classic hits</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=prog-rock'>prog-rock</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=musikladen'>musikladen</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=classic%20rock'>classic rock</a> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=concert%20clips'>concert clips</a> </div> <div style='text-align: right;'> <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/video/iLyROoafYK8-.html'>Video</a> from <a href='http://www.mybeatclub.com/search/?q=user:my-beatclub'>my-beatclub</a> </div></div></div>MangMadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12934020924139783814noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193178406795559728.post-77464725521121384152009-05-14T20:01:00.001-04:002009-05-15T19:11:14.299-04:00See K-Bone in 3D!<div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb43IXV-x3aHfTfiDPs0Gc23uKjR4u00LL0lDm9ut0TaU25lCZqTobKdrCfLleji6QbB-nOK4vPgdyiNq7FyXYUainaF18CDRc8K2RqadR9UDXPHOmtIvDACbaeNv3Sj93IvTDIamenQ/?imgmax=800' style='max-width: 800px;'/><br/><br/><big>Looking forward</big> to seeing <big>Kevin "K-Bone" Pyle</big> back in action, ever'body (he's the one makin' like <i><a href='http://mlb.mlb.com/stats/historical/individual_stats_player.jsp?playerID=118476&c_id=det'>Milt May</a></i> in the poster above).

It was marketed to sort out all types of audio collections in various formats from vinyl to the new-fangled audio CD. I thought it was pretty cool -- the first database I ever used to organize my stuff, but mostly because I could print "pro" looking cassette J-card inserts to give my tapes (my <i>oeuvre</i>) a polished, studio-archive look.
