@jcoo71 Good observation jcoo71. I noticed that too when it originally aired. Not trying to belittle (aka "diss" for all you Under-40ers) Randy, but he must keep a researcher on retainer to keep him up to date with all the latest "cool" cliches. It's also funny how he falls all over himself "drop...

@Spideymrw Can't agree more. But, it's not just the judges. Watch any of the many "Idol-type" programs and the audiences seem to feel it's more important to scream and carry on, frequently drowning out the performance. Maybe it's the studio idiot prompters "MAKE NOISE!!" or maybe it's just an Ame...

@bcopp82 Just for the aurally-challenged bcopp82, check out Haley and Casey dueting on "All My Loving."

Obie and Kathy are really having fun!

Methinks it's time to re-up the Ritalin, boyo. Just sayin'.............

This song, Jacob's "God Bless the Child," and just about everything Haley did (esp. "I Who Have Nothing") were, IMO, the best performances of Season 10. Nothing against Scotty and Lauren, but both of them together fall far short of the talent Haley, James and even Casey (add Casey's "Georgia On M...

I've said it to anyone who cares to listen, and nothing's changed. This performance is the best (my opinion) EVER on AmIdol. After being in shock when she was voted off (thanks to a million speed-dialing pre-and-teenagers), I think it was probably for the best. Now she won't be locked into Simon ...

I've watched the entire season and although I respect their talent and admit they both are certainly deserving, not once did any performance by Lauren or Scotty make me go, "Whoa!" With Haley however, there's been at least two,three moments in each of her performances during the last three weeks ...

I believe it's a shih-tzu

I do a lot of youtube surfing (WAAAAY too much), and I feel my tastes are about as varied and open-minded as anyone's, but you know.... I seem to always come back to Steely Dan. Simply the best.

@AZking45 If you'll notice the date of the clip (1991), razor blades were "allowed" (those tricky homophones).

Always inspiring to see a band playing in a country other than their own and watching the reactions of the crowd, seeing they know all the lyrics, etc.

@theivory1 As my dear granddaddy told me lo these many years ago...."It's always better to keep your mouth shut and have people THINK you're stupid.... than it is to open it and remove all doubt."

Jon Herington between 1:14-1:40 is perfection.

@Revolution1117 Excellent observation. I've had the same thought. Just knowing those two were on the other side of the glass would completely intimidate me. If you haven't already, check out the handful of "Making Of" vids on here. As a guitarist, watching Becker and Herington interact is fascin...

The Royal Scam is generally regarded as SD's most "guitar-oriented" album, with

contributions from such well-respected players as Larry Carlton, Elliot Randall, Dean Parks, Phil McCracken along with Becker and Denny Dias. Another contributor

was percussionist Gary Coleman (no, not Arnold Drummon...

On another of these Pine Knob vids, someone was dissing Walter's playing. They need to watch this one. He's on top of his game with Josie.

This "Making Of..." series is priceless. Many thanks to russha717.

Has there ever been a cooler intro? Wow

@wort148 Agreed re: the drummer. I'm surprised not more comments have been made about him. He's spot on in nearly every vid I've watched. Check out his high-hat work on Paperback Writer.

Excellent

They capture the bridge perfectly. Very impressive.

Don't overlook the drummer. He's excellent.

Love the drummer's work on the high-hat.

Hmmm. This is the same Ted Nugent who, back in the mid-60's, when it came time to appear at his draft board hearing, showed up after having worn the same clothing for like 3-4 days: he'd crapped and pissed in them, not bothering to change in order to receive a 4F draft designation to avoid the mi...

This is actually a cover of "Your Move" by Yes, not "I've Seen All Good People."

to gam3rkid1: unplug that Guitar Hero and pay attention.

How did Helen Keller manage to vote 4 times?

Vince Gill played with PPL in 1979 and sang lead on Let Me Love You Tonight.

to nobodysfool454; I'd try and describe the "Moeller technique" but it'd be simpler to just go to wikipedia and type in "moeller method." There's a very detailed description there.

Except the Costanza's weren't Jewish

wow! great rendition

The "spare part" percussionist is Sam Clayton, who's been an integral part of

Little Feat since their 3rd album, Dixie Chicken (1973)

It's like they are each playing a different song. But hey, gotta give them props for even posting it, right?
