Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
I remember being mesmerised by this performance in 2012.
I recorded all of the opening ceremony, to show my mother-in-law the following day. She was in a care home, 92 years old and suffering somewhat with dementia. But when this came on, she sat there and sang it beautifully, in perfect pitch, all the verses and word-perfect.
She passed away just a month or so later, 7 years ago last week, but I'll never forget her singing along

Haunting, simple and beautiful.

If you enjoy Irish folk music, I think you'll like this. I was familiar with The Whistlin' Donkeys version but just came across this and prefer it.

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
Whether it's 'nice' is subjective. Perhaps with punk it's nice because it intended to be the opposite? Meanwhile, I heard this tonight, first time in decades. I still like it, basic 4-chord early US punk. Still better than almost all US music since https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30bv915bDtY

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
About time this thread was disinterred and dusted off.....
I've become strangely obsessed with this of late, and I suspect most of you will think I've gone a little bit (more) crazy, but I find it's nicely hypnotic when lying back with the headphones on.
A live performance of White Light White Heat by The Velvet Underground, with Lou Reed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4AkDt_JRqk
Recorded at The Matrix, I believe.
Bonus points if you can identify a song by another group from that era with the same chord sequence around 2m18s

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
It's a funny thing, I never really got into the New York music scene at all when I was in my teens. (Although I had huge respect for John Cale because of his previous work.) The whole Velvet Underground/Warhol Factory thing just used to annoy the hell out of me, mostly because it seemed so aimless and superficial at a time when there were motorbikes to be ridden and heavy rock and blues to be explored. And a war to be protested against as well.
Ah well, maybe it was my loss? Discuss.

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
I reckon you could make a good case for it being just about any track from "Piper..." or indeed many others from that band, era, or since.
For me, and specifically the chord sequence repeated from (exactly) 2:18 to 2:28 is the basic intro to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYvkICbTZIQ

OK, here's the missing third item: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f35gUESUFvU
I agree about White Light White Heat being Floydy, I can just imagine Syd playing it.

Yes, I can see the similarity. But Lucifer Sam is closer, to my aged ears at least

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
This exchange reminds me of an enjoyable evening I spent in the early 80s with Steve Nieve, his piano, a pack of cigarettes and some red wine. Amongst other things, he showed how a basic four notes (that became chords) played in a different sequence, against different time sequences, could become just about any popular song from the 50s, 60s, and throughout the 70s. It started with him showing songs that used the notes, to me suggesting songs I thought didn't, and him somehow proving they did!
He is a clever man, and a very good keyboard player.
It probably means we were all correct in answering Kiloran's question, to our own ears at least!

Re: Just Some Nice Music Thread Here...Post it Here...
I've been trying to get my head around a bit of music theory (having played guitar for 35 years, badly) and have been enjoying the YouTube videos of Rick Beato
As well as the pure theory stuff he does an interesting series -"What Makes this Song Great?"- where he pulls apart great songs and discusses the various elements, with the help of isolated bass/drum/guitar/vocal tracks

If you like that kind of thing give 12tone on youtube a go
