@MrGeno1952 - Search "Whiter Shade of Pale extra verses" and you'll find it here on YouTube. I've only heard a live performance. Not sure there was ever a full studio version with both extra verses.

As sonnycrane said, the guy in 12 & 17 looks like Neil Young, but it's Joe Tate from New Salvation Army Banned. He now plays ukelele & sings at the No Name Bar in Sausalito, CA. 19 is Byrds David Crosby, Chris Hillman, and it must be Michael Clarke on drums, also shown in closeup in #20, tho I'...

@sn3prwarrior - I knew Great Big Sea hadn't been around as long as Runrig has, and I knew Great Big Sea didn't write Beat the Drum. This original version by Runrig is so beautiful, and that's what I meant to say. I didn't know who had written it, nor did I know the names of any band members. ...

@AuntDianeee - Yes, it's on DVD. "Justin Hayward LIve in San Juan, Capistrano." 1998.

@arniemax1 - Well said!

Very nice tune. I remember hearing this song as a child. I especially liked how you played the ending. I sang this to my children and it's a hard song to sing. You did a great job on your recorder. Thanks!

These are all very moving pictures. The one of the boy at 1:07 is amazing. Actually it's one wonderful photograph after another. I've had this as the featured video on my channel for over a year. That's how much I love it. Beautiful video and lovely song. Thanks Pete Yorn for this song and ...

I've only known Nicolette Larson as a backup singer. Wow. Didn't know what I was missing all these years. Wish I could sing this to my babies, but they're 25 and 29!

The audience is amazing. All ages. And from lumberjacks to librarians. They're all in a Neil Young and Crazy Horse zone!

@APBTLuver101 - That's David Crosby of The Byrds and later of Crosby Stills Nash and Young.

@721rem - I don't think anyone answered your question about Nicolette. She died (December 1997) as a result of complications from cerebral edema triggered by liver failure. A friend said Larson had been depressed and her fatal seizure was related to her chronic use of Valium, which had caused her...

@skipjack49271 - The comment about this being the only Moody Blues video on YouTube with a dislike isn't accurate at all. There are hundreds of Moody Blues' videos posted, with millions of views in total. There are definitely some dislikes on many of those videos. Anyway, I like this video a ...

@jazz4asahel - The drummer is Jeff Porcaro. Check out a post by funk76 here on YouTube, "Boz Scaggs Lowdown Live 1976 feat. Jeff Porcaro," to see him in action. Wow!
