The Showtime concert show tonight was really good except for one small detail....

NO ELVIS!

Very disappointed.

[FAVEHOUR]

Yes, quite a shock. As we got down to 28 minutes, 15, 12...I started to realize this might be the case.

A great show, wish I had been there, a great broadcast as well. But disappointing! Why did they make that You Tube poster take down her videos of EC if they weren't going to use the footage themselves? Weird. Maybe they have other plans? I mean, 500 Miles and Please Mr. Kennedy are integral to the film's plot, from what I gather....maybe I should tape the movie profile that came after this show on Showtime..

I'm recording it now, Dave. It's about the movie, not the concert.

Oh well...

Coincidentally (?), the 2 audience videos with EC are back on YouTube:

[bronxapostle]

great doc...will you make mp3's of these two complete songs please? or i guess i can. but, then i don't know how to share as you do. i think the third song was NEVER up at youtube. 2 out of 3 ain't bad, though it would be nice to see/hear him sing with Ms. Baez. however, at least we got to see him do that song in Port Chester one night i think it was.

Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of 'Inside Llewyn Davis':

TV Review
8:44 AM PST 12/12/2013 by Frank Scheck

The Bottom Line

This concert doc combines stirring musical performances and fly-on-the-wall rehearsal footage to fine effect.

Airdate Friday, Dec. 13 (Showtime)

Director Christopher Wilcha

Producers T Bone Burnett, Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, Scott Rudin

Showtime's documentary captures the highlights of the star-studded concert of music inspired by the Coen Brothers' film.

Its awkward title notwithstanding, Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis" does an admirable job of giving the viewer the feeling of what it was like to have been at September's star-studded concert at New York City's Town Hall. Christopher Wilcha's documentary effectively combines well-chosen performance footage from the three-hour show with enough fly-on-the-wall rehearsal peeks to provide an intriguing insider's view. It also happens to serve as an excellent promo for the current theatrical release of the highly acclaimed Coen Brothers' movie celebrating the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960's.


Those who attended the concert may wonder at some of the omissions, such as John Goodman's amusingly droll introductions and Elvis Costello's hilarious rendition of the novelty song "Please Mr. Kennedy" with the film's stars Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver. Providing some compensation is the inclusion of some of its lesser known performers, such as Lake Street Drive, whose swinging "You Go Down Smooth" was one of the evening's highlights.

But there's plenty here to savor, including Punch Brothers' smooth harmonizing on "Tumbling Tumbleweeds"; Jack White's country-flavored version of the White Stripes' "We're Going to Be Friends"; Patti Smith's soulful "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You"; Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings' impassioned "Will the Circle Be Unbroken"; and Marcus Mumford's stirring rendition of Bob Dylan's "Farewell," among others.

The requisite rehearsal footage features the ever hovering presence of the concert's producer T Bone Burnett and Joel and Ethan Coen, with the atmosphere proving clearly convivial. Mumford, showcased in several brief interview segments, comments that "there's no assholes around" and that "there was no ego in the room." More amusingly, Isaac admits that "tonight I'm shitting a brick" regarding the prospect of performing his songs live onstage. The sheer volume of the musicians taking part in the show is reflected by footage of many of them rehearsing their numbers in hallways and staircases.

While the film might have gained some depth with the inclusion of historical footage from the musical era that served as its inspiration, it nonetheless deftly captures the highlights of one of the year's finest concerts.

Airs Friday, Dec. 13 (Showtime)

Director: Christopher Wilcha

Producers: T Bone Burnett, Ethan Coen, Joel Coen, Scott Rudin, Jason Colton

Director of photography: Adam Beckman

Not rated, 101 min.

T Bone Burnett vs. Silicon Valley: 'We Should Go Up There With Pitchforks and Torches' (Q&A):

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earsho ... ley-652114

I don't know why I posted this here other than its a really cool interview with T-Bone Burnett. T-Bone rules! I dig his take on the latest happenings in Silicon Valley and I would back up those pitchforks and torches with tar and feathers. In fact, I don't have to go to Silicon Valley (40-50 miles south of SF), I can just tar and feather one of the Google buses that shuttle their employees down the small / local streets of San Francisco. Also I like his mention of moving to Nashville. I was thinking of doing the same.. For some reason, I'm drawn to that town right now. Only probably for the reason of being close to live music.

The show is going to be released on two-disc CD.

Inside Llewyn Davis Live Album Features Jack White, Conor Oberst, Elvis Costello, Joan Baez, More
Captures concert celebrating the release of the film last fall, features artists playing folk music alongside members of the cast
By

In September 2013, Jack White, the Decemberists' Colin Meloy, Conor Oberst, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello, Joan Baez, and others played a benefit concert at Town Hall in New York in conjunction with the release of the Coen Brothers' film Inside Llewyn Davis. They performed music associated with the film, which is set in the 1960s New York folk music scene, alongside members of the cast.

An album of that concert is finally being released as Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of "Inside Llewyn Davis". The two-disc set is out January 13 via Nonesuch. The live LP was produced by the Coen Brothers and T Bone Burnett. That's the tracklist below. (Note that Smith is not featured on the album.)

The first 200 pre-orders of the album on either CD or vinyl from Nonesuch will receive a limited edition poster.

Inside Llewyn Davis was loosely based on the life of folk revivalist Dave Van Ronk, and is centered on a struggling young folk singer in Greenwich Village in 1961. It starred Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Adam Driver, and more. (Timberlake was not at the Town Hall concert.)

The concert, organized by Burnett, benefited the National Recording Preservation Foundation, a nonprofit that helps protect music and radio archives. It was also partially aired as a concert film/documentary on Showtime—watch the trailer for the TV special below.

Elvis & co. on the Irish Times album of the week.

The review from The Irish Times is online: http://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music ... -1.2058880

Various Artists: Another Day, Another Time - Celebrating the Music of ’Inside Llewyn Davis’

There is something of a dizzying circular concept at play in this 34-track double live album. The September 2013 New York concert from which the music is drawn was a celebration of the songs of a movie that was a celebration of an imaginary world of a singer who “lived” in the romanticised world of the American folk resurgence of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

If the Coen brothers’ movie focused on the self-obsessed central character, the world he inhabited and the songs that were its soundtrack shared equal billing. The concert built on that synergy with three of the actors, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver and Carey Mulligan, joining seasoned and rising musicians recruited by producer T-Bone Burnett (with Elvis Costello and Oscar Isaac). Some were used in the movie but this concert steps beyond its boundaries while staying true to its spirit.

Last March, another shorter edit of the concert, this one created for Showtime, was released on DVD. The audio version may be longer but it has also taken another nine months to see the light of day.

Nevertheless, this is an always entertaining package. Specific Irish interest is relatively minor, though Irish rresident Rhiannon Giddens, late of the Carolina Chocolate Drops and soon to release her first solo album, gets one of the hottest ovations when she lets rip on a percussive tune in the teanga beo.

Behan’s Ould Triangle remains, as in the movie, an “Oirish” indulgence but Joan Baez, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Jack White, Marcus Mumford and the awesome bundle of energy and creativity that are the Punch Brothers carry the show with memorable versions of old chestnuts such as Will the Circle Be Unbroken?, Joe Hill and Tomorrow is a Long Time mixed with newer coinage such as the haunting New York by the Milk Carton Kids.
