And they do something similar in New York City as well. This is Rockefeller Center, in midtown.
I worked a contract for NBC a few years back, and visited them in that tall building behind the tree a couple times. We built websites for kids tv shows. There’s a skating rink by the tree here too. And it’s made it into more than a few movies.

Most people – not all – realize Elton John was poking fun with this one. He pretty much insulted everyone.

Thanks Tim,
I still see a gap in the data there. There’s a post on 13-Oct-2023, and the next one after that is from 2-Nov-2019. Maybe I’m missing something.

Thanks for all the kind wishes. I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving as well.
This has been a different year for me than recent ones, in a couple good ways, so I have things to be thankful for, as always. One of those things is this Club. Thank you all. Take care.

David, that’s a soprano sax in the Earth, Wind and Fire video.

David,
I was reading through this thread again, and I noticed you mentioned – Gratitude.

It must be very sad if it resulted in 96 Tears.

Daryl,
That Procul Harum song sounds like the version I’ve heard many, many times on the classic rock radio. I never knew where it got recorded before.
Good stuff.
Tim,
I saw Rush in 1975 at a bar at college. I had stayed to work over Christmas. $4 to get in. Not crowded, because the students were gone. 20 feet from the stage. This was after they’d released 3 albums already. Great show.
You’re right about Rush playing enough to fill the space. Not everybody can do that with just 3 guys. B.B. King couldn’t do it, so he brought extra help. In that live Elton John song I posted above, Elton is busier than usual; he didn’t have a guitarist that night, so more room to fill.

You did say funky…

David,
That’s the one I would have started with. Sam and Dave. Doesn’t get any better than that.
But, to put it another way…

For most of music history, live was the only option. I’m sure over 99% of people living near Bach or Beethoven never heard their tunes, since they weren’t invited to the rich people’s concerts.
I saw Stevie Wonder live in 2001 on the 300th anniversary of the founding of Detroit. At the river downtown, where I’ve seen as many as 4 stages going simultaneously before. That day there was only 1.
They said there were a million people there. Stevie almost fell over when he heard that. It was packed. You couldn’t move. I was 200+ feet from the stage, so it was easier to just watch the big closed circuit tv. The feed was sent across the river to Windsor. Later we heard the “million people” was for multiple days, and that day was 250k. Rolling Stone said it was 500k.

I couldn’t find a vid of that day, but here’s Wonderlove in Germany. Michael Sembello is on guitar in the back, Deniece Williams is singing backup with the red hair.

That Christmas market looks great. That looks like they’re serving food and drink there. I’ll bet being at the top of the ferris wheel can get cold this time of year. What kind of drinks do they serve there? Gluhwein?
Over 40 years ago, when I moved to the area I now live in, the 3 oldest restaurants were all German. Only two of them still remain, but I still like to go.
The reason I thought of that is because one of those restaurants has always served Dortmunder Union dark beer. It looks like the people of Dortmund think big, and I like that. That is a serious tree.

Lisa,
Thank you for following up with me on this. I did know about the resolution, but I didn’t think to provide an update in this thread, so I apologise for that.
I think Meta focuses more on consumers than businesses. YouTube focuses more on creators, which are businesses. That might explain the difference between the two responses, and those two sets of punters have different requirements as well; a design targeted at consumers may not prioritize the kind of backups that are important to businesses.
Just my guess.

I’ve never heard that song by Martina, but I know who she is, and she’s a great singer.
She was probably staring at you wondering what you were planning to do next. 🙂

I actually discovered that one of Joni and friends when I was looking up Jaco for the Bassline thread not long ago.
What a band. A bunch of musical genuises.
