Video of the Week: 1991-07-19 "The Landlady"

Posted 1 year ago by tmwsiy - 6 comments Link: http://phi.sh/b/4fad0f5e, posted in the Video category



Sandwiched between the Hampton Casino Ballroom and the Arrowhead Ranch shows during 1991's Horn Tour, was the incendiary night at the Somerville Theater. Everything seemed to smoke a little harder that night as the horns and the band were really beginning to nail everything they played all the while having a great time doing it. In this version of "The Landlady", the Horns are particularly on point and blow the roof off of the joint. It is not until the tour's closing night at the Variety Playhouse that the horns play with the same fiery passion & perfection from start to finish. Despite a limited reporitoire through the summer, some definite must listen versions were played throughout the run. Many such stand-out versions were played in Somerville including not only this best of tour Landlady, but also an amazing Divided Sky and stellar versions of Magilla, David Bowie and YEM.

Every Friday, we highlight a video with a brief recap of the show it is from and what makes it interesting, noteworthy or simply fun. With the help of Dan Saewitz from Phishvids.com, we hope to keep the stream of videos coming at you entertaining and interesting. Have a cool video you’d like to suggest?

GhostlikeSwayze This was one of the shows i downloaded to listen to on vacation over the summer. I can distinctly recall the French countryside flying by to the tune of this great show...the YEM jam is really smoking, especially when they get into that Frankenstein groove

Euclid This was nice, but there was no subtleties in the horns. Their dynamics were pretty much blow as loud and hard as possible. Could have really set the end off if they eased into "blowing the roof off"

imagine my surprise when I logged on and saw this video! I shot it on my brothers sony camcorder from the front row of the balcony. They showed the esther video this night as well. Years ago I posted a thread on PT asking for assistance in getting this out to the masses via some sort of video on the web. Like an idiot I shipped the master off to California and never received it back. I think I sent two follow up letters to the guy I'd sent it to, but to no avail.... I made a couple VHS copies of it before that time so I'm not sure which source this came from. Either way...glad to see it here! I gave one of my VHS copies to fishman shortly after Ella was born.
