The Beau Brummels - Restless Soul - Live - 1975
This is the last song of the set of ten that were recorded that warm June 1975 day in Wallingford, Connecticut for a live broadcast on WPLR New Haven. It is "Restless Soul" by Ron Elliott which seems to have been recorded live in 1974 at a reunion gig in Fair Oaks Village, California and only released much later in 2000 on "Beau Brummels Live!" the debut album from Indy label Dig Music Sacramento, CA. I haven't compared the two versions.

The Beau Brummels - I Lost That Melody - Live - 1975
Просмотров 19814 дней назад
This is another unrecorded song done during this set of 10 Live at Trod Nossel Studios in 1975 "I Lost That Melody" by Ron Elliott. It is part of the encore demanded by Dick Kalt of WPLR and the audience including the fan who keeps insisting they do Sad Little Girl which seems was sung by Ron Meagher for The Beau Brummels back in 1965. I have left all that, the band banter and tuning in this ed...
The Beau Brummels - Love Is Gone - Live -1975

Sal says at the beginning that this song was unrecorded and he didn't intro the title or songwriter. My guess would be it is a Ron Elliott tune. I am calling it "Love Is Gone" until corrected. I left the banter in before they start the song. At the end you can see a fraction of Daniel Levitt on lead guitar and then Dick Kalt from WPLR outros the band. You can support my efforts with a tip at Ko...
The Beau Brummels - Wolf - Live -1975
Просмотров 70821 день назад
"Wolf" was a new song by Ron Elliott for the "The Beau Brummels" 1975 album that the band is on the road promoting here in Connecticut that year. This cut has a rough start both audio and video and as the session went on I focused mostly on Sal Valentino singing as I thought I would have good cutaways from the other camera to edit in but alas no. This is the seventh posted here on RUclips for t...
The Beau Brummels - First In Line - Live -1975
Просмотров 40028 дней назад
With apologies to fans, friends and family of Daniel Levitt who plays banjo on this track most of this single camera video focuses on Sal Valentino! "First In Line" I believe was first recorded for the album this 1975 tour was promoting. I left the pre-song banter in as an audience member pushes Sal and the group to play "Sad Little Girl". This is the sixth video from this session and I am hopi...

It took a while for me to get this fifth Beau Brummels video from this 1975 session posted as I had problems with my iMovie edit software. I had to download and learn Shotcut! Seems to be working. Wikipedia has a great listing on "Just A Little" by Ron Elliott w/ Bob Durand. Please read the descriptions on my other four videos for background information on the why and how of this recording. Sin...
Serge Conus - Sea Song - Live - 1975
Просмотров 2212 месяца назад
A change of pace from rock to classical. I knew Serge Conus's son "Magic" Dominique at the time and we tried to do a few demo clips together some he acted as a mechanic and this one as a music show announcer. There is some distortion in the audio as it may have been recorded too hot and also maybe from the wobble and dropout of the 1/2" Sony videotape that deteriorated over the years prior to d...

I received an e-mail from a close friend of Sal Valentino and was told that Sal had viewed the three videos from this session that I have posted so far. If you would like to reach out to Sal then please leave a comment or send me an e-mail and I will forward it. I am uploading "The Singing Cowboy" written by Ron Elliott and recorded for the 1975 album - The Beau Brummels. There is some audio wo...

In honor of Memorial Day here is a short clip of New Orleans Mardi Gras 1975 with background music from a college and a military marching band. It was a drive down with friends out of Boston and using the same B&W 1/2" reel to reel Sony Portapak AV-3400 ? used for the other clips on this channel. I first edited this and a few other Mardi Gras clips while re-learning iMovie at the Apple Store in...
The Beau Brummels - You Tell Me Why - Live - 1975
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.4 месяца назад
I received a request for this song next. "You Tell Me Why" which was on the band's second album 1965, The Beau Brummels, Volume 2. The song was written by guitarist Ron Elliott and produced on that album by Sly Stone. They did a new recording of this same song with different producers for the 1975 album - The Beau Brummels. They are promoting the 1975 album with this appearance. More informatio...
Johanna Wild - Rehearsal - 1975 - Rare Group Photo

For the Johanna Wild fans I have uploaded another video from the Waltham 1975 Rehearsal session. At the end there is a bitly link to the still photo that my brother shot during the session where the group posed as I was videotaping which you can see as the video ends. Jon called it a "rare group photo" ! My print is uploaded to a Shootproof site where you can purchase a copy in three sizes from...
The Beau Brummels - Goldrush - Live - 1975

Here is another clip from the Beau Brummels live studio session in Connecticut 1975. See the description of the session for the Laugh Laugh video in this channel. Goldrush was written by Ron Elliott and Butch Engle and appeared on the 1975 comeback album The Beau Brummels. This shows the limitations of a single camera shoot with mostly unusable cutaways to select from. Portable B & W camera to ...

By popular demand I am uploading a rehearsal of Suzanne by Jeff Linscott for Johanna Wild. Jon Butcher on guitar and vocals, Jeff Linscott on lead, Derek Blevins on drums and Troy (Doug) Douglas Sutler III on bass and backup vocals. I shot this for the band in a rehearsal studio in Waltham MA on Nov 3rd 1975 on the same 1/2" B & W reel to reel Sony I used on two high school live concerts the sa...
The Beau Brummels Laugh Laugh Live 1975

I am slipping this in because it has been in my queue for a long while. I am curious if it has staying power. This was taped single camera by me and Howard Lamden on a warm day in June of 1975 at Trod Nossel Studios in Wallingford, Connecticut for a live broadcast. There was a studio audience on the floor and I believe it went out live on WPLR 99.1 FM in New Haven. We were called in for free by...
Johanna Wild - Space Race Flyer - 1975

This is an earlier video with Jon Butcher of Johanna Wild and later The Jon Butcher Axis fame. We both shared an entertainment lawyer Robert Rook, of Rook, Roth and Rubino, who had offices on Beacon Hill in Boston. Great name for a lawyer! who had me meet Jon and do a first video with a slightly different band configuration (drums). This group was Jeff Linscott and Jon on guitars, Doug Sutler o...
