Who out there would love to see the unplugged sessions. Like this, come back to mtv. ?

@celticirishkeith - with the likes of idiots in ivory towers blocking hidden treasures from seeing the light of day via YT, and thus remind old timers of these treasures, as well as exposing new generations and as such creating a new consumer base and demand with it, who would even know of these groups/performances/songs etc. I wish I'd had made a collection of all of the posts from younger listeners who wished this was the music of their youth instead of (c)rap! Sad reality!!!

Anyone remember when mtv used to show acoustic sessions. Wtf , happened to mtv. Did they sell their soul.? What a shame.

@celticirishkeith - sadly I have to inform you that changes for the better are not in the offing @ MTV. I know someone who works there in mid-upper mgmt, and I made a nearly identical comment/question the reply being "our demographic is too broad to please all, so we go for the ones providing the largest audience #s". Soooo: if it sucks, it includes crotch grabbing and "bitch" every other word you'll see lots of it on MTV, but if it is musically excellent ..look elsewhere!!!

I was only 11 yrs old when this song came out, but I do remember the music back then had such unihibited passion and conviction compared to the bland, souless, generic crap that has been churned out by the music industry for the last 15 or so years. Pity it all now seems to be based entirely on image first and talent/ability a distant second.

wow its all about feel, what the fuck has happened to music, i think something is eating our souls !!

best blue eyed soul boy ever, up the essex

What a pitty , these unplugged sessions is strong armed away to one side to allow in its place. All the mind numming spoon fed reality shows. I understand the rating things as a business model. But mtv sold their soul. What a pitty.

HANDS DOWN the finest rendition of this song ever, Steve and only Steve had the strength and vocal range to do the justice this song so rightfully deserved. No disrespect to the Yardbirds as Steve owned each and every song he ever sang, taking them one and all into his heart and letting them flow forth from his soul.

@itreeye - with about $1000 in a laptop and free software, one can produce and distribute their own CD/DVD good enough to get started, whereas in the 60/70s w/o deep pockets it would have been impossible. Also, one could get started w/o a manager today, but most importantly, for the true talents, today there is virtually nil competition, unlike back then. The downside, new talent lacks the inspiration of the plethora of the blues & soul giants, most being unknown 2day

" So the they chose appealing to the lowest denominator.. trash TV ala Springer."

I've read some arguments suggesting that the new media or world of the web, instant access beyond what can be limited for selling, etc., might mean a return; or even an evolution into something better! (ie. quality over quantity and more real growth of art alongside the community, and so on..) I can't quite get my head around their argument, yet, but hope it's true.

@celticirishkeith - I know someone who works @ MTV & I asked same Q as you, the reply I got was that they were unable to cater to such a broad audience !!! So the they chose appealing to the lowest denominator.. trash TV ala Springer. Who would have thunk it, that crap would still be airing AND thriving? All we can do is let the suits and (more importantly) their sponsors what we think of their programs & vote with our wallets. Same applies to our country: idiots in suits decide 4 us.. :-(
