I never saw the original movies, but the concerts at Helsinki were something people will talk to their kids about. I didn't know they had so many music videos, though!
Where's the moon?
Thru the wire
Those were the days
I quite love all three of them.
This show must have one of the best themes ever.
I love the way the guitar seems to be trying to break away from a loop, eventually successing.
The visuals are also great; they really bring out San Fransisco as a mythical place, where everything is possible. I really love stuff like that; a right picture taken at a right time is greater than life itself, and more real than the original ever were.
That's why I love photography; it's from around us, but magically when you take the picture, it becomes an artefact of more magical reality.
Three songs that I have played quite often on my iPod recently.
The first one is from a free concert in Helsinki in -92, and that is the genuine choir, and not some pretenders. This is the version of the song I most like;
Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army Choir - Knocking on Heaven's Door
Juice was a groundstone of Finnish pop/rock for decades till he died a year or two ago. He had (among other things) very bad diabetes, and his living habits left much to be wanted. It's a surprise he lasted as long as he did.
Juice Leskinen - Musta Aurinko Nousee
Some Swedish band that was the representative of the previously mentioned country in Eurovision Song Contest this year. I heard this song at local music TV while idly waiting for something to happen.
The Ark - Prayer for Weekend
Listen if you care to.
