Our second sojourn in search of hidden gems of musical performance too incredible to be hidden any longer...
Screaming Lord Sutch - "Jack the Ripper"
Let's begin with a Halloween treat, a Scopitone reel of Britain's Screaming Lord Sutch, for my money this is likely his best song.
Gal Costa - "Milho verde"
This is, I've read, a Portuguese folk tune, and this concert took place in 1973. In case you didn't know, Costa is/was pretty much the queen of Tropicalia, the exciting Brazilian meld of native musics, rock and pop which the Brazilian military, having overthrown the government, found to be threatening. The funny bit for me is when she works overtime at disrupting her conga player, who simply will not be distracted.
Devo - "Jocko Homo"
Are we not men? We are Devo. This is the original video of Devo's ultimate statement of human regression. Completely original, and kinda creepy.
