Reason #33 why you don't give creative control to your keyboard player [warning ~44Mb BitTorrent of a .mpg] This is just another reason why I'm glad that I was never around for the 70's. Video includes 'stache touting keyboard player, fake druming, inexplicable dancers, and hordes of other things that raised my wtf meter. Enjoy.

Fuyugare made the torrent and hosted it to save the bandwidth of the original host. However if you don't have bit torrent (or refuse to use it), here is a direct link to the original .mpg [via TMN]

  • Wow... using BT over roadrunner: download rate: 319.48 kB/s I've not seen anything faster then ~200 kB/s before.
  • wow. it's like a carl lewis video, but with chicks.
  • Mandyman posted a link to the apache video in the comments for the Genghiz Khan Moskau video, actually. On preview, it looks like she beat me to it.
  • The fringe. The beads. The quasi-ethnic dancers. The giant moustaches. I think I'm having a swine flu vaccination flashback... This is so bad it's good.
  • I hesitate to even call that guy a "keyboard player". As a counter-example, really good things can indeed happen when you give a REAL keyboard player creative control. /just a simple caveman bass player here //"bass" as in "bass guitar", not the fish ///stayed up all night playing Halo2, reality is distorted...
  • Sometimes I wonder if we're in the Matrix and if there really existed a time that I recognize as 'the 70's'. Then I see something like this and realize that you couldn't make something like this up... it had to have happened. Then I think, 'I really wish I had been born 15 years earlier so I could have been part of it.'
  • far freakin' out! This should blow some minds!
  • Thanks LordSludge.. up until right now, I incorrectly thought that the (new) keyboard player for Dream Theater was originally from the Dixie Dregs (Steve Davidowski - I had to look up the name). Speaking of music, has anyone heard of Porcupine Tree? Finally got around to listening to a mix CD someone made for me...
  • I can't quite catch the band's name on the drum in this. What is it?
  • Techsmith - I stole a porcupine tree cd from my brother a couple years ago, burned it, wiped away the finger prints and carefully replaced it, along with the speck of dust he placed on the edge to make sure it hadn't been moved (he doesn't like sharing things), but I never got around to listening to it. Is it any good?
  • That's Tommy Seebach.
  • pippa feather - I got totally hooked on it. I'd say it's a prog-rocker's version of a jam band .. if that wasn't insulting to the prog-rocker (or I guess to the jam band... uh, bander). But yeah, I love it now. Need to buy some full CDs.
