An evening pause: More road stuff, of an entirely different kind.

Category: The Evening Pause
A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
Exploring Arizona’s Abandoned Highway 60 and the Claypool Tunnel
An evening pause: Better late than never. I forgot to schedule some pauses. This one is fascinating because of the history of technology it reveals.

AC/DC – Thunderstruck
An evening pause: A bit of energy to start the week. Performed live 1991. For those unfamiliar with this rock piece (like me), I think it helpful here to turn on captions to find out what the performers and audience are singing.

Fiona Apple & Elvis Costello – I Want You
An evening pause: Performed live 2006.

Samba – Bamboleo
An evening pause: Stay with it, the second and third dancing couples in this compilation are especially good. This isn’t Astaire & Rogers, but it is superbly done, nonetheless.

The view from the racecar of the Le Mans race course, as seen in 1968
An evening pause: From the youtube page:
This amazing piece of ground breaking onboard footage allows us to ride onboard one of the Gulf sponsored JWA Ford GT40s for a lap of the Le Mans circuit in 1968. This early onboard coverage was such a big deal, Stirling Moss does the narration. Its cool to see the Le Mans circuit as it was, without chicanes and with primitive safety features.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
Massive Attack – Teardrop
An evening pause: Proves that good music with modern rock instruments does not have to be loud. I just wish this singer wasn’t using the modern slurring singing style that makes it almost impossible to understand the words.
Amazing Saxophone Solo
An evening pause: It is shame there is not more information about this sax player, who is astonishing in her skill.
Hat tip James Street.
Bastille – Pompeii
An evening pause: I especially like the dog.
