The Temptations – I Can’t Get Next To You

Carl Orff – O Fortuna from Carmina Burana
An evening pause: The first half of this video is a great performance of Orff’s piece, written as the opening for Carmina Burana. The second half shows what I think is the closing scene from a staged performance, but has no sound and is unclear. Regardless, the first half is breath-taking, and includes English subtitles, which clearly places the context of this music in 1930s Germany.

Judy Collins – Send In The Clowns
An evening pause: I haven’t posted this Steven Sondheim song since 2013, and I have never posted Judy Collins’ version. Here is a recent live performance.

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Freebird
An evening pause: From their live concert, July 2, 1977 in Oakland.
I want to especially note the flag that drapes the entire back of their stage. Twas a free time in California then. I wonder if a band would dare hang such a flag in that oppressive place now.

In memory of…
A evening pause: It is important to remind ourselves repeatedly of the lengths that evil people will go to exert their will on innocents, merely for the sake of power.
The song, “Wake me up when September ends,” is by Green Day.
Fleetwood Mac – Tusk
An evening pause: With help from the USC Marching Band.
Hat tip Joseph Griffin.
Foxes and Fossils – Can’t Hurry Love
An evening pause: The reason for the band’s name I think will become obvious as you watch.

Paul Simon – 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover
An evening pause: From the Simon & Garfunkel reunion concert in Central Park on September 19, 1981.
Hat tip Joseph Griffin.
John Williams – Imperial March
An evening pause: John Williams conducting.
To my mind, this would have also been good for Labor Day yesterday, as this music for the evil Empire of Star Wars makes an ideal anthem for the left.
