Hey, it's classic, funky Stevie . . . I thought that part went without saying.

But why did that guitar player have to saw off the arm of that poor 335's Bigsby?

i love this clip. anybody else notice the drastic tempo change after the band kicks in? wonder if it's intentional?

TelecasterBlooz · May 10th, 2008, 07:07 AM

I didn't know Eddie Murphy had a band?

Wow!

Certainly noticeable - and not for the good -

Blazer · May 10th, 2008, 09:27 AM

Check out that kid in the orange shirt getting the groove down.

po-boy · May 10th, 2008, 10:46 AM

very cool clip !

sesame street was one of the best kids shows ever - they used art, music and FUN to teach letters and phonics, numbers and math, etc - also taught valuable life lessons and morals - the show is a classic in every sense of the word -

- i'm not a complete idiot ... some parts are missing -

toadman · May 10th, 2008, 11:02 AM

WOW!!! cool clip. i think the tempo drift is more than made up for by the cool breaks at 4:34 and 5:18!

Telarkaster · May 10th, 2008, 11:07 AM

That was really cool!

Their animated segments are what I remember most fondly, especially the pinball series:

#9 (steel drum solo)

#8 (guitar)

And I wonder if they drank the bong water for this one:

FirstBassman · May 10th, 2008, 11:09 AM

Nice clip.

BTW, anyone ever hear Pete Hutlinger do all those parts by himself on guitar?

Amazing.

So I didn't just imagine it?? I was doubting myself and what I thought I heard. Maybe it's a video speed thing or something.

There is a little quirk in the tape but the tempo stays right on. No increase at all.

I just wanted to share this pic since its sort of thread related:

AMAZING!!!!
Almost 6 minutes off uninterrupted music on television. It sure was the 70's.
Wouldn't it be cool to work with that guy?

Speaking of SW and EM

I noticed that right away. Is there such a thing as a detachable Bigsby arm?

smitty54017 · May 11th, 2008, 01:04 PM

the coolest song ever! The coolest TV performance ever! When popular music had SOUL!

micpoc · May 11th, 2008, 02:23 PM

Anyone know who the Tele player is?
