Title: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: davidmjs on May 23, 2025, 11:13:35 AM A lovely 1972 recording of the String Band on French TV which firmly puts a lie to all those who state their time was done a couple of years earlier.

With most browsers, if you add a full stop after "YouTube.com" in the URL, adverts disappear. Try it. It saves a lot of annoyance. Here's another: remove "ube" from "YouTube" in the URL and you will be offered a download of the video you are watching. For better quality you need to pay, but for most purposes the lower quality may well be ok. Caveat: I haven't worked out how to do either on a phone using the app. Title: Re: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: Jules Gray on May 23, 2025, 11:46:03 AM Here's a couple of YouTube tips.

This is officially the greatest thing I've ever heard. I am chuckling to myself. How does it even work? ;D Title: Re: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: Andy on May 23, 2025, 12:05:09 PM Here's a Planxty performance from 1979, courtesy of a link from Sir Norm.

The Yout.com tip works because it's a separate site to YouTube. Title: Re: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: ColinB on May 23, 2025, 12:19:21 PM That's odd, I just tried posting this but it disappeared. Gremlins in the works. Anyway, try again. This is RT and Hugh Cornwell who have recorded a cover of Tobacco Road with DM and Peggy.

But how then does it have (access to) the content that is on Youtube? Title: Re: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: Jim on May 25, 2025, 09:13:37 PM I sing on (and co-produced this). My first ever gig as a session singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcwXudO3_Do You can also download it from Bandcamp... https://nickworrall.bandcamp.com/album/embers?fbclid=IwY2xjawKRWuZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETA2MU03aGZMNUd3TFlqRVc3AR7JGDpgR7jImDbLCNhPSQLWa3W45tx_1gk_ZXjTaJwVlAoMxAvBmuqknLjdRg_aem_D7D2htlX1ffWMPbDubG79Q Jules Very good old bean. Have Michael Stipe's solicitors been in touch yet? Title: Re: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: Jules Gray on May 25, 2025, 11:28:11 PM Have Michael Stipe's solicitors been in touch yet? You're not the first. I used to not be able to help it, but I thought those days were over. Seemingly not.

The mighty Hen Ogledd (Richard Dawson et al) with Scales Will Fall. Don't skimp - give it the full 8 and a half...it even goes all Sun Ra at one point. Oof! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGMOFLgB1CU Title: Re: Youtube (music) clips of interest Post by: Lubiloo (Lorna) on November 21, 2025, 09:44:28 PM Nice NPR Tiny Desk Concert, Robert Plant and Suzi Dian, showed up on YT today. I like these concerts, I have come to enjoy some new things by watching them.

Recorded for Pat's (King Crimson etc.) 70th birthday...it's amazing how strong this performance is. You ever heard a 72 year old sing better?
