It’s Tuesday, time for another exciting edition of Pullin’ ‘Tubes. Now if you would please, let’s all turn to the music section of your hymnals, and let’s begin on three with the Chairman of the Board:

  • I know Sinatra’s supposed to be this great untouchable force, but I can’t watch him sing without bursting into uncontrollable fits of nervous laughter. Case in point, here’s Frankie singing The Beatles’ Something, and I’m just sitting here giggling and crooning to myself, “Something in the way that dame knows she’s a broad, and I don’t need no other lovah, toots.”
  • Watch Tea Leaf Green flawlessly executing its famed three-part Garden Suite at Savannah’s in Albany on 5/21/04 (and, stunningly, Ben’s not wearing a hat of any kind). To stay with the TLG thing for one more ride, here’s a killer Morning Sun from the awesome November Coda shows.
  • Paul Simon’s Graceland in Central Park…something tells me there was a girl in New York City that night that called herself the Human Trampoline.
  • The Modern Jazz Quartet, including Ace-fave Milt Jackson, nailing the first three minutes of Bags Groove in London in the early 1980s.
  • Steely Dan! Live Peg! No Mikey McD, though. (No, here’s Mikey.)
  • Got two hours to kill for a good cause? Check out the first edition of The Festival Tapes, Thomas Lofstrom’s footage of the Grateful Dead & Friends, focusing on “the real show” at a Dead concert: the heady, heady crowd.
  • Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer shot on Super 8 in Minnesota, 10/28/80.
  • Rick Danko & Paul Butterfield play Stage Fright at the Garden in the haziest video you’ll ever check out. Love that Danko.
  • James Brown feels so good during this old interview that he probably can’t feel his face, or the face of the woman he likely just punched.

On the run from Johnny Law…ain’t no trip to Cleveland.
