I dunno about performance JimBob, but I remember that scene very clearly as a kid in the 70's when it came out. I was 8 or 9. That film hit me in a way that such things only can when they're brand new and fresh and you're a child. Though that said my dad who brought me thought it was brilliant too.Jimbob1977 wrote: »The binary sunset in Star Wars

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

It was my first time to a cinema. Savoy 1. The screen was wider than our house. My Dad brought me and some of my friends for my 8th birthday.
I completely understand what you mean. My son is now almost 14 and also a big Star Wars fan.

Apparently a similar performance in early 1960's London where a couple of BBC employees were present gave the idea to one of them of coming up with the Doctor Who villains the Daleks. That smooth movement minus feet and legs of the women in that dance.ILoveYourVibes wrote: »
The precision in that is amazing and the tune is pretty damn good too. Watch the men though going en pointe(sp) like ballet dancers minus the support of ballet shoes. You'd have to have legs and feet of iron for that. :eek: Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things.

Everytime a thread like this comes up, i have my 2 go-to videos: 1 is the George Harrison tribute with Prince that was posted already, the other is this - Paul Weller and band going hell for leather on Jools Holland
Edit: and a 3rd, Roads by Portishead in Roseland NYC. Even the yanks screaming at inappropriate moments doesnt ruin it.

A true story -
Salsa lessons every day in Havana for three weeks, with people who it transpired were old friends of Ibrahim Ferrer, the vocalist with Buena Vista Social Club.
Spent an afternoon at his house, dancing Salsa and getting locked on rum and coke. We sang Bruca Manigua together and I was bawling like an ass going out the door

If we're going with in the flesh then the last time I was blown away was Bjork's Cornucopia gig in the Point last year. Absolutely incredible production, probably the best thing I have ever experienced live. No youtube videos exist unfortunately, I really hope a DVD is released of it soon because I'd love to try and relive it.
It was a theatrical masterpiece - an absolute sensory overload. I was in the flat seating area and the sub bass was too much for some people :pac: As brilliant as it was I would only put it down as the third or forth best show I saw last year as there is a difference between performance and overall concert experience. But she is something else to be still creating at that level.

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

Also worth seeing is When Bjork Met Attenborough, a look at Bjork's Biophilia concept, album and subsequent tour, talking about things like the sounds she searches for and the use of the Tesla in her performance among other things.

I'm wondering now what were the 2 or 3 performances that topped that for you last year? 0 -
Out of all the bands I've seen I think Sabaton were probably one the most memorable.
Great band!

I actually looked up a post of mine from the gigs forum and I had her down as fifth best of the year and that was posted before seeing Fontaines DC :pac:
Sleaford Mods, Kamasi Washington, Durand Jones & The Indications, Dry Cleaning, Fontaines.
She came ahead of ten others though - it was a wonderful show. I don't think a DVD could replicate the sound scape but it would be nice. The phone footage clips of the tour on YT do it no justice.0 -

This was the best play I ever saw. One of the best live shows of anything I have seen. Catalpa. This extract shows Donal O Kelly's power to conjure. It was amazing.0 -

It is my Happy Song (TM). Every time I am down that is actually the exact video I watch to cheer up again. And it works every time.
Perhaps KaneToad overstaded it's brilliance a bit but that video will forever have a place in my heart
It is hard to pick a performance that "blows me away" every time I watch it. Not many do. But the last time I saw a performance that blew me away the _first_ time I saw it is easy to pick. It absolutely has to be this one. Not because it is brilliant or amazing or transcendent. But simply because I did not see it coming.
