We were in a band called the Originals, but we had to change our name because there was a band across town that were the Originals so we became the New Originals, then they became the Regulars and we thought of going back to the Originals, but we said what the neck and became the Tinsmen
Great scene. Reminds me of my first time playing in a band that played a room of greater that 3000 seats. A 3000 seat room looks a hell of a lot different from the stage than from the audience. Also, the first song we played, the room echo timing rate was much different from the tempo of the song. I had to ignore the room echo and watch the drummers bass drum to keep in tempo. That was my quick introduction into being a professional musician many years ago.
Joe Hammer. I never played in a room of that size (you guys must have actually had talent), but I did play in groups in a bunch large dance halls, as you said, many years ago. I don’t recall being confronted with the echo effect, but I can certainly appreciate how disconcerting that would be if you’re not expecting it. Man, that was a fun way to make a few bucks in late high school and first couple of years of college.
@@robertcampbell8027 thanks for your nice reply. I have actually sat in and played with major musicians at sizeable outdoor concerts one weekend and the next immediate weekend played a local gig with 5 people in the audience. Other than the playing we musicians love, very often right time/right place is whats its about. I've had my friends who are local players ask me how I got some of those gigs... I stress that you need to be there when opportunity presets itself. Really, I would have not gotten those gigs otherwise. Many times I have walked up onto the stage and had no idea what we/I was going to play, not even the key, seriously. Thank god I can read guitar players hands, usually the first verse is a little weak as I'm learning the song, then the subsequent verses start to kick butt... Where the real fun is at the bridge, those parts are interesting. If the performer your backing up is smart, they won't go to the bridge as it may fall apart since you don't know it. However, the real trick I often do with those bridge parts is to simply step back and not attempt to play it... That way, since I'm not playing, I can't make a mistake. Let's face, wrong notes stick out but no notes may make you look like a tasteful player!!!
@@louisnewton4292 Hi, I was in several bands in the 60's, too numerous to remember now, but the above mentioned show went well! I do have to admit I have played a major festival one weekend with some friends and the next weekend with other friends, played to only several people. Such is the life of a musician. I've done local TV taping thinking is was only a "local" broadcast where as several years later I find out it was broadcasted in Manhattan numerous times. Oh well!
having played to very large crowds I kind of get what you mean on the echo effect as a guitarist/singer....for me, I preferred smaller more intimate shows because i felt the energy of the crowd more when they were close, and part of my schtick was jumping into the crowd and doing solos while being crowd surfed etc. and when you have an orchestra pit, or a barrier or just being 15 feet above the crowd it just feels disconnected and weird.
The director's cut changes the tone of this movie, but this is one of the scenes that I think should have stayed. I fell like this kind of indirectly explains some of their stage freight without making it a big deal.
It's definitely more cohesive. The full cut is 2.5 hours long, so I can definitely see why they trimmed it down - but it doesn't feel like 2.5 hours!!!
All of these deleted scenes are good and worthy. But all of them are also understandably binned from the final cut. This film is a master class in the importance of film editing once you see both cuts.
They should recut the movie but end with the fairytale ending. It would make the theatrical version meatier. You dont end up writing about your dreams. They should become that thing you do.
They tried to do a version of the scene from the movie Hoosiers where he measured the Basketball hoop before the playoff game but it didn't work in this movie so Im glad it was a deleted scene.
Iv'e watched this flick many times and I have to tell you I think the extended version is way better and provides more incite to the characters for example Guy Doing his Sparticus movie quote for Tina that really flicked her light switch and the extra scene with Del Paxton in the studio shit I'm gonna go watch it again now lol
There are so many deleted scenes in this movie its not even funny… scenes that actually complete this movie. This movie feels strange in the edited version, do yourself a favour and watch the extended version of this movie
I didn't post this scene because I think it's great, but because it was deleted and may be of interest. However, what I do think is noteworthy is the background score. It doesn't pop up in the movie that often, but when it does, it has a deliberate sober tone, signifying a plot shift. Like the "Faye Dumps Jimmy" scene. ruclips.net/video/En2atgCnkUM/видео.html
Yep it is a little out of place but not much and could have worked. The Gay scene later at the Hollywood Hotel I get more though, the world was not ready for the fact the producer from Hollywood was gay, after all this was only 1999-2000.
I know the consensus seems to be that this was some great scene that should have made the film, but I strongly disagree. It was an extremely wise editing choice to leave this out. It serves no purpose whatsoever, especially considering they FLOPPED that day in Pittsburgh. Logically, it makes no sense whatsoever to include a scene where they are obviously setting up the "Wonders make it big" theme immediately before the scene where they are booed off the stage.
The Director's Cut answers a lot of questions the theatrical cut doesn't explain to you.
Never knew this was a deleted scene! It was always in the version of the movie I grew up watching.
Me neither. I just discovered it today.
The extended version of this movie is amazing
Where can I watch this movie now if I don't stay in USA? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
@@themaverick1891here on youtube! Just type in "that thing you do full movie"

Great scene. Should never been cut.

Were you in a band in the 60's too? What were you guys called? And how did the show go?

:D that's so amazing seeing them just being amazed. it feels more human vs boyband to me
I love this scene. It says so much about the awe of it all. Then the group takes it in and is READY! Wish it was in the movie.
The only problem was, they weren't ready, they flopped badly
Sometimes it's amazing just being amazed.

No they made a smart decision by cutting this scene out. Cause this is the venue where they played terrible and got booed off stage in the next scene.
*fright, not freight
its not the "directors cut". The released version is. The brilliance of Hanks as a director and editor was pulling these scenes out.
All of these deleted scenes are good and worthy. But all of them are also understandably binned from the final cut. This film is a master class in the importance of film editing once you see both cuts.
This scene and others are included in the 'director's cut.' The DVD has both versions.
Wow! It should have been on the Movie!!! I love the end of this clip! Would have been cool.
They should recut the movie but end with the fairytale ending. It would make the theatrical version meatier. You dont end up writing about your dreams. They should become that thing you do.
Should have made the cut... great scene
Its in the extended version
From what I've seen so far, I think they cut all the right scenes.
I watched this movie last night in sockshare. I didn't even know I was watching the uncut version lmao
They tried to do a version of the scene from the movie Hoosiers where he measured the Basketball hoop before the playoff game but it didn't work in this movie so Im glad it was a deleted scene.
The dancing part from this scene made it in the original trailer.
Great cast
Good scene. Well shot.

Yeah I agree. The extended cut fills in a lot of gaps that the movie has.
There are so many deleted scenes in this movie its not even funny… scenes that actually complete this movie. This movie feels strange in the edited version, do yourself a favour and watch the extended version of this movie
They should have added this in the movie.
This scene looks as if they are aliens coming to earth for the first time

Agreed, the score to this scene, Faye dumps Jimmy and Faye and Sticks at the end of the movie are excellent.
Howard Shore's little treasure of a soundtrack.
I prefer the directors cut
oh wow! HOLY BEEEEPPP
The music in this scene is so moving. Is it on the soundtrack?
It’s not
Was this really a deleted scene? I remember seeing it on TV (we DVR’d it), and this scene was included.
What's the song called that's playing in the background when Guy and the rest of The Wonders are looking around on the stage???
Just atmospheric soundtrack, scored for the scene(s).
Fuck the theatrical version, so much good shit is left out
Agreed!
THIS MOVIE HAD AN F BOMB! BEWARE!!! AT 1:07:09 HE SAYS (ITS FING GONE TO IT)
This was in the movie though
Where did these come from?
Directors Cut is 40 minutes longer, with some back story. But too much added footage of Charlize Theron.
@@AlistarMax i dont think there such a thing as too much footage of her
I’ve played to 10,000 people in an outdoor festival. 3000 people inside always makes me more nervous
I like this but I see why they cut it, it would seem kinda out of place tbh
Yep it is a little out of place but not much and could have worked. The Gay scene later at the Hollywood Hotel I get more though, the world was not ready for the fact the producer from Hollywood was gay, after all this was only 1999-2000.
That was my impression as well. Did not fit the movie.
look's a lot like Detroit's Fox Theater but I don't think it is..
I have never seen that before but I wonder if Tom Hanks told them to be more like the Monkees in some scenes
They made Tom Hanks' character gay . That wouldn't have made sense to leave in the movie.
I can see why it was deleted.
I know the consensus seems to be that this was some great scene that should have made the film, but I strongly disagree. It was an extremely wise editing choice to leave this out. It serves no purpose whatsoever, especially considering they FLOPPED that day in Pittsburgh.

Actually parts of this help to see how they flopped, everyone was nervous.
