Swingrowers – Midnight
An evening pause: A prelude to Halloween. The visuals come from vintage 1920s and 1930s early cartoons, though the bulk comes from Walt Disney’s 1929 cartoon, Skeleton Dance.

Richard Marx – Hazard
An evening pause: Performed live 1992.
Hat tip Doug Johnson.
Hohnerklang – Silence and I
An evening pause: Hat tip Tom Biggar, who notes this is quite “an interesting blend of instruments. The orchestra prides itself on giving you the “harmonica at its best!”
Gina Lollobrigida – Pagan dance
An evening pause: I think this makes a great start to the weekend. Clips from the 1959 movie Solomon and Sheba, centered on Gina’s pagan dance as Sheba, and edited to a piece of music by Dead Can Dance, called Cantara, which the youtube website labels “genuinely pagan music.” If you want to see the original film, go here and go to about 90 minutes. In the original, God steps in to stop all this hanky-panky.

Bee Gees – Please Please Me

Jimi Hendrix – The Wind Cries Mary
An evening pause: Performed live 1967.
Hat tip Judd Clark.
Eric Clapton – Cocaine
An evening pause: Performed live 2015. The directing however is very mediocre. During the very spectacular piano solo he or she seemed more interested cutting in a lot of random shots rather than showing what was really amazing, the piano player’s performance.
Still, a great performance. Hat tip Cotour.
Player – Baby Come Back

Jayne Mansfield – Concerto No. 6 in A Minor

Hat tip Judd Clark.
Van Halen – Jump
An evening pause: Its an “official video,” so much of this is lip synched footage cobbled together to make what looks like a single performance. Much of it however is the actual performance, and the song is good.
