Here’s tonight’s slate of musical moments from YouTube, as gathered from my regular web gig at Claude Pate:
A young Van Morrison leads Them through “Here Comes The Night” and “Turn On Your Love Light” at the 1965 NME Poll Winners Contest.
But wait, there’s more…
The Byrds perform “The Times They Are A-Changin” on Hullaballoo. It’s a lip-synch, but worth it for the network’s passive-aggressive set design.
The Mamas and the Papas perform “California Dreaming,” again from Hullabaloo, here worth it for the band’s reaction to the production design during the famed flute solo. And Michelle Phillips.
Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood sing “Some Velvet Morning.” Strange song, made stranger with video.
David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull duet on “I Got You Babe,” circa 1980. Because Bowie in drag + Marianne in a nun’s habit = fun!
