So my Wife says "Isn't Brian Seltzer that Gretsch guy?"
"I'll record it for ya."
So I fast forewarded through it this morning till I got to the first Red Hot Rod that came into view and watched it twice. Then fast forewarded to the end.
It was fun!
I saved the recording.
Deed said: But then I thought, "I don't know very many musicians who can dance their way out of a paper sack."
So true! That's one of the reasons why I play!
garageink,
AFAIK, BS cancelled his Christmas Extravaganza tour this year.
John said: Anyone know what happened to Bernie Dresel
I believe Bernie is tending more to family things these days, being on the road can take its toll. I did a gig in LA with Bernie not too long ago...what a great musician he is.
oh no, I hope not. I love that show, and its right here in his winter backyard. palm springs.one of the few shows I don't have to travel to see.....
Anyone have this clip of him playing last night that I can be emailed or download? I just had surgery yesterday and before that I had my comcast box set to record the show. Stupid thing is that Dancing with the stars was on twice and the one I recorded wasn't the right one. I am so pissed that I missed it.
I'm on medication, so sorry if my post reads weird.
Brian kicked off the solo with a nice classic swing lick -- same one as can be heard kicking off his Nashvillans' Live CD version of "Tennessee Zip". Nice one to learn.
There is a YouTube video of it here
Cheers
JPP said: Were they really hired for ONE song? Did we need 15 minutes of 8 year olds being interviewed instead of another BSO song? Setzer won't tour the U.S., but he'll do this trash? Maybe I could have booked them for my wedding!I think it says more about the sad state of TV than it does about Setzer. He probably saw an opportunity to get his band on TV, live, and grabbed it, I can't blame him, even though I hate that show too. (we get the same "format" on practically every commercial Euro channel).
Apart from Jools Holland's show on the BBC, I don't really think there are any shows left that have live music, and I'm guessing it's not much different in the U.S.
Brian Setzer Orchestra on 'Dancing With The Stars - Tuesday October 21, 2008:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=nQPlkXTr6ro
Here's another version that's so good it makes me crazy to know that this is even humanly possible.
Brian Setzer, Mark Winchester, Bernie Dressel and one of the greatest 'big bands' ever.
Not exactly vintage Brian Setzer, imo, but always good to see him play live. Appears the (too) many years of hard living are finally taking its toll on his physical being. Saw him play in a Boston club about 5 years ago. Looked homeless then, but sounded great. Didn't look as bad on DWTS last night, but didn't sound as good as Boston, either. I guess it's true; time waits for no one.
Like that last link, wpgjazzman! "In The Mood" & "Mystery Train", from same link, are good, too. 
Tux - yes they sure are good - also check out Stray Cat Strut.
I'm now having a bad case of 'musical lust' and 'coveting' my neighbors Gretsch. I'm on my way to Long & McQuade Music in South Winnipeg to salivate over some of the Gretsches hanging on their walls.
See y'all later - maybe even bring one home.
That's the type of attitude I like!
Sorry y'all - Came home alone (again) - no Gretsch this time. They only had a G5120 in black. I already have a black Epiphone. There are some orange ones on back-order.
Well, I guess we can all see why he needs to take this Christmas off eh? Gettin a bit tattered around the edges. Also, it just don't seem to be the same without Bernie. I thought Mark leaving was a big upset, but this new guy ain't no Bernie. He's good, don't get me wrong. But I love watchin' me some Bernie. He just fit. We all are Setzer fans, or should be. It is hard to see him age. You just have to keep in mind the old tune: "the older the violin, the sweeter the music.". He's got a while still I would hope. He runs a bit hard though and I think that may be why the Cats "retired". For now at least. He had 3 or more projects at once goin there for a while. Think of the workload that guy has had on him in the last few years. He ain't a member of Boston or ACDC; being as you don't have to wait 8 to 10 years. He pumps out the goods quite regularly. I'm just glad he still does. He's why I do what I do, and I'm sure many of you as well.

I take ballet now at class at Ballet San Jose. I do it with my daughter and wife. It's one of the most physically demanding things I've ever done. So much harder than it appears.
Am I the only one who noticed how badly he botched up the solo in that tune? And why "Rock This Town"? It was supposedly "swing" night or something, and they do a Cats hit. Maybe they thought that would be the only song the Guitar Hero fans would recognize.
I just watched it again and I didn't notice any botching.
I think it was more of a fretboard trip than a botch.Wish i could trip like that.
Tell me....Is that Karina Smirnoff a hottie or what?WhewNow if you wanna see some REAL Dancing,watch thisWatch the whole thing guys and girls,it just gets better as it goes.TALENT
Long time Setzer fan. Caught him a year ago in OK City. He looked ragged, but tore the place UP! Caught the STARS performance...he needs to lay off the makeup. I did come across this schedule...appear that there are more in store????

WB -- aside from Austin City Limits I can't think of any shows. I always thought The Actor's Studio and Austin City Limits were these beacons of genius in a see of mediocrity that is popular TV.

One song.... why?
Deed Eddy said: I don't know very many musicians who can dance their way out of a paper sack.
Guess that means we won't be seeing Duane on DWTS anytime soon. Would be a hoot, tho, eh?
I saw the BSO on Beverly Hills 90210 a LONG time ago. (My wife loved the show. Don't start pointing at me). I think it was when the big "Swing revival " happened in 1994 or 1995.
Pretty much, Tux!
