Your post made me wonder what the date of the event was.

Had it been cerca WWII, I would have had my post removed.

Actually the Egyptians may have invented beer. It’s said that the pyramids were built on beer, beef and onions.

Interesting, but I am glad for the three millennia of development in music theory since them.

Can you imagine being the controlling artist of that ten thousand voice instrument and orchestra?

Holy moly is right.

That conductor was a lucky (and I might add very capable) individual.

Man O Man!

I was always impressed with this rock & roll production that includes a 50 piece orchestra and a 50 member chorus.

Hold The Line

Stop Loving You

You can hear how it picks up at the end, it goes into Playing in the Band followed by Good Loving. Same set they did at Englishtown.

They even teased at Dark Star for a few moments.

And, it's definitely one of *those* topics.


Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History by Immanuel Velikovsky, section V
The Reconstruction of Ancient History chapter of The Dark Age Of Greece by Immanuel Velikovsky -- Amenhotep II was identified with the king whom an ancient epic poem portrayed as leading an enormous army against the city of Ugarit, only to be pursued to the Sinai Desert. He was further shown to be the alter ego of the Scriptural Zerah, whose enterprise started similarly and ended identically.
Ugarit chapter of Applying The Revised Chronology by Edwin M. Schorr -- The chariot scene on the 14th-century gold plate is compared to similar scenes of the 9th-century Neo-Hittites and of the Assyrian King Assurnasirpal II (883-859 B.C.).16 The elongated gallop of the horse is seen to be quite similar to depictions on Assyrian reliefs, but Assyrian influence "s chronologically impossible, all the Assyrian monuments presently known where horses are depicted at gallop being about half a millennium later than our plate" (174). The gold bowl (Fig. 7) with its combination of Aegean, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Levantine motifs is “an excellent example of Phoenician syncretism, half a millennium before Phoenicians in the proper sense are known"

I just can’t believe the ignorance displayed here.

The auto harp is the obvious evolutionary product of the nine stringed instrument. The evolutionary hit tune was performed by Mother Maybelle Carter and is known as the Wild Wood Flower.

She later performed and recorded the song on the guitar.

I always thought it was Tuli Kupferberg’s Cave 64:

If they give you any trouble then just throw them through the door”
