The Rover Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 For The Beatles 1st Ed Sullivan Show, The Beatles Played: "All My Loving", "'Till There Was You", "She Loves You", and "I Want To Hold Your Hand" Live On The Ed Sullivan Show. On that first Ed Sullivan show, on Feb, 9, 1964, "I Saw Her Standing There" was played just before the last Beatle song. I know, as I have the 2-DVD set: THE FOUR COMPLETE HISTORIC ED SULLIVAN SHOWS FEATURING THE BEATLES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Radiohead a lot of people felt were long overdue for a Grammy and I think a lot of people thought it might have gone to them. Radiohead won the Grammy for the Best Alternative Album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Radiohead won the Grammy for the Best Alternative Album. Yes I know. I was referring to Album of the Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxie Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Chris singing a tribute to...cough, cough....Neil Diamond at a pre Grammy show. If I may get superficial for a second... is he growing his hair again?!? Oh how I've missed those long Chris Cornell locks. Ok - back to seriousness now.

songbird Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Am I not allowed to dislike an album? How objective would you prefer I get? You didn't say you disliked it, you bluntly said it was crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Fortunately, I was able to tivo the grammy's while I was out, so I could zip thru all the ads and crap. Nothing much to add to everyone else's grammy comments here. Just find it amusing that Plant wins 5 grammys in one night while during his Zeppelin heyday, they got zilch...and I LOVED that they got zilch. It was like a badge of honour having your band get dissed by the grammys. The Stones, Who, and countless others got passed over as well back in the 70's in favour of the likes of Paul Simon and all that easy-listening stuff. If I recall, the only Album of the Year winner of the 70's that I didn't mind winning was Stevie Wonder when he won like 3 or 4 in-a-row in the early 70's. Only the grammys could give an award in 2009 for 2008 to an album that came out in 2007. Record of the year..."Please Read the Letter"? How was it that THIS was the song nominated from that album...it's one of my least fave's from "Raising Sand". Somehow, in the future when I reflect back on 2008, I doubt that "Please Read the Letter" will come to mind. Anyone else catch Natalie Cole's slip of "Please Read THIS Letter"? And according to one poster, only 10 awards were actually handed out during the tv presentation...that is far fewer than they used to hand out in the old days. Performance-wise...only Plant/Krauss; Macca; and Radiohead stood out for me. Loved Radiohead using the USC band for their "15 Steps" performance! Just like when Fleetwood Mac used USC's band for "Tusk". FIGHT ON! Probably would have preferred if Plant/Krauss had done something like "When the Levee Breaks" for their performance instead of the somewhat predictable medley they did of "Rich Woman/Gone Gone Gone" My biggest gripe of the night, however, was the grammys not even mentioning Davy Graham during the eulogy section. FOR SHAME!!! But then, that's the grammys...it wouldn't be the grammys if there weren't a bunch of slights and fuck-ups. Of the three main awards shows: the oscars, the emmys and the grammys, the grammys by far are usually the worst and most middle-of-the-road affairs.

There is a demographic bias built into the grammy voting system which denied Zeppelin grammies during their hey day but work very much in Robert's favour for Rasing Sand.

The only thing with Robert and Alison doing Levee is they're there for Raising Sand so it did make sense to do songs from the album that was nominated.

It's a bit strange the eligibility period for the Grammy's being cut off at some point early October. The single was eligible because it was released prior to that date.

Juliet Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The Beatles 1st Ed Sullivan Show EL: Thanks for posting this.....in my opinion Paul is just as cute...never seems to age and sings as good as he did in the 60's....

The single was eligible because it was released prior to that date. I suspect it was designed to extend the "shelf" period of the release. These marketing people are pretty smart and release date is something they have a say over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Trust me, I know the eligibility period of the grammys...I was being rhetorical not literal. I think it is one of the reasons that the grammys frequently look out of touch. They are honouring music that often was released almost 2 years ago. At least the oscars make their eligibility period the "calendar year", Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. There was even one grammy show where they awarded a grammy to Metallica for a song that was 3 or 4 years old...don't have the specifics at hand, will have to look it up...but it was pretty ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as Jethro Tull(the band, not the Zep board member) winning the inaugural best metal award in 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry - wasn't implying you didn't know - thought you were asking rather than being rhetorical. I do agree that it should be a calendar year eligibility period.

danelectro Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 IMO awards shows are all about entertainment and nothing about validation or being in touch with the now. It's always been that way and always will. I watch to see the glitterati and stars have a good time, if there's a good performance or two it's a bonus. Trying to take it serious is bound to end in frustration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzldoc Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don't know how many Jazz Fest fans are on here, maybe I'll start a thread later. Just a little update though. Neil Young has been added to the line up this year and his first time at this event finally With 2 and a half months to go I wonder what other surprises are in store? This year is going to be huge!
