Zappa’s “Black Beauty,” bass up, treble down, volume 11, because it sure as hell beats Manilow.

And there you go for another edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend, and we promise you lots more stuff.
Saturday Matinee – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Roomful Of Blues
Grace Potter and The Nocturnals performing “Treat Me Right” at the 8×10 in Baltimore, MD on September, 14 2006. They pretty much nailed the Big Brother & The Holding Company sound.
So here is Janis Joplin with BB & The HC “Summmertime / I need a man to Love” at the Holllywood Palace Oct. 26 1968.
Roomful of Blues is a great band to see live. Here they are in 2010 with Big Joe Turner‘s “Boogie Woogie Country Girl.”
That’s it for today. Have a great weekend folks.
Saturday Matinee – Rocket Booster Ride, R.L. Burnside, Jeff Beck & Tal Wilkenfeld
I like the soundtrack. [via]
RL Burnside‘s “Let My Baby Ride.” I don’t usually post “slideshow” videos, but this is a good ‘un.
Jeff Beck with Tal Wilkenfeld on bass playing “Nadia.” Nice tune to round out a lazy Saturday.
Have a great weekend, see you back here tomorrow.
Saturday Matinee – Didgeridoo, Drums, Piano & Music Theory
How to play the didgeridoo.
How to play the drums.
How to play piano.
How to sing a Christmas Song.
Now all that’s left is to figure out how to get you back here tomorrow. Have a great weekend.
Saturday Matinee – Frog Payback, Armadillo Song & Red Nightmare
Froggie payback in less than half a minute.
“I Wanna Go Home To The Armadillo.”
I’ve heard that song so many times without knowing the words, let alone the source. It’s the theme song to Austin City Limits, performed by Gary P. Nunn and Jerry Jeff Walker. (Oh and by the way, unless you’re sporting functional longrider hats, y’all just look silly.)
Red Nightmare is a must watch. Anything featuring Jack Webb is by default automatically awesome and true. [via]
Have a great weekend, folks. More great stuff is coming up, whether you like it or not.
Saturday Matinee – Imelda May, Jimmy & The Rackets; Ron Levy & Ronnie Earl; J. Geils, Duke Robillard & Gerry Beaudoin
Imelda May is way cool. That’s her version of Buddy Holly’s “Looking For Love” which was also covered by The Stray Cats. It was never covered by Andy Tielman as far as I know, but here on The Saturday Matinee, one vid and three links just don’t make the nut.
Yep. That’s Jimmy & The Rackets as if I had to tell you, but now I’m torn between two more vids to post. I’ll resolve the dilemma by posting them both, back-to-back, because each of them made me smile for different reasons. Have a great weekend folks, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Saturday Matinee – Current Events, Helicopter Synch, Happy Shining, Big Splash and BB, SRV & EJ
15 Seconds.
Helicopter/Camera Synch. [via]
Happy Shining.
Big Splash.
BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Etta James at the Ebony Showcase Theatre Los Angeles, 15 April 1987, with The Wicked Wilson Pickett‘s “Midnight Hour.” (Check out the amazing background of Nick Stewart, founder of the EST linked above.)
Great way to wrap up this edition of The Saturday Matinee. Have a great weekend folks, see you back here tomorrow.
Saturday Matinee – Alfred, Iggy, Tom, Billy & the Beat Farmers
Posted this one before, but it’s one of my favorites, featuring Iggy Pop & Tom Waits.
Very pretty song by Billy Paul about adultery. I doubt he would have gotten a hit singing about Mr. Jones, but we’re not gonna go there. Mr. Jones was pissed enough.
The Beat Farmers are still around, and we’re going to be around for a while as well. Have a great weekend, see you tomorrow.
Saturday Matinee – Stag Party, Bottle Ninja & The Neville Bros.
Don’t disturb deer, and don’t mess with a stag during rutting season. [via]
“He really, really, really hates plastic bottles.” [via]
The Neville Brothers with “Brother John / Iko Iko” 1995, Stuttgart.
According to Wikipedia:
The song “Iko Iko” was written in 1953 in New Orleans by James “Sugar Boy” Crawford about two competing Mardi Gras Tribes/Krewes. “Jock-a-mo” was the original version of the song “Iko Iko” recorded by The Dixie Cups in 1965. Their version came about by accident. They were in a New York City studio for a recording session when they began an impromptu version of “Iko Iko,” accompanied only by drumsticks on studio ashtrays.
[Listen to it on the Utoobage here. Lyrics are in the notes.]
Other trivia: Crawford formed a band which local DJ Doctor Daddy-O named “The Chapaka Shawee” – Creole for “We Aren’t Raccoons.”
Fun Facts to Know and Tell. Have a great weekend, folks.
