Rooster_Ties Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 High School band (and choir) cover Pink Floyd - Us and Them Put yourself in those kid's shoes -- how cool would it be to play some of Dark Side of the Moon live on stage?? (And it looks like they even had a pretty good light-show, certainly for a high school production anyway.) Probably pretty cool, I'm guessing. By the same High School band... Genesis Medley part 1 (2:41) Genesis Medley Part 2 (1:15) Genesis Medley Part 3 (2:45) genesis medley part 4 (1:35) Genesis Medley part 5 (0:33) genesis medley part 6 (1:00) Probably a pretty cool band director too, would be my guess.

.:.impossible Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Roo, I thought you'd especially appreciate the Radiohead cover. Whaddaya think? Good footage of London graffiti as well, featuring some Banksy, among others. Quote

WD45 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Proof that the kids are alright can be found in these two clips. This first one is a high school band from my area doing a quite difficult piece by DJ Shadow, Building Steam With a Grain of Salt. From what I understand, they had only a few days to learn it. Some of those drum breaks are tough! DJ Shadow's version, for reference. And a killer take on 21st Century Schizoid Man: And another. Plus a Japanese orchestral arrangement. Quote

Nothing like living your dream of being in a prog band through high school kids! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 31, 2006 Author Report Posted October 31, 2006 Nothing like living your dream of being in a prog band through high school kids! There are worse things I can think of than living them out through a high school band. Namely, living them out through a high school showchoir!!! Quote

Matthew Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) , France 1966 In the movie The Kids Are All Right wasn't there a surfing tune in that? I thought I read somewhere where Keith Moon was a big fan of surf-music. It was long ago, in the 70s, the one and only time I saw that movie, but man, was that weird.

Rooster_Ties Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Posted November 13, 2006 This is the only version I knew, before I stumbled on the link above from '66. Who do Barbara Ann <-- sometime in the mid 70's. Was VERY surprised to find the '66 footage for the first time earlier tonight. I had no idea this was a tune they had covered way back in the day.

Maybe it wasn't TKAAR, could've been some other movie about the Who. What I remember the most is how shocked I was to see Keith Moon, before my very eyes, go from a young man to a very old man -- it was just flat-out scary/sad to see that happen over the course of the movie.
