Howdy all.  Anybody remember a music video by somebody who sounded like The Strokes, JET or the White Stripes that (I'm pretty sure) took place inside a pinball machine? Late 90s, early 00s.  Thanks.

Prolly not what you're looking for, but Blackstreet and Janet Jackson did a video for a song called "Girlfriend/Boyfriend" in '99 set in a pinball machine:

An idea I've been toying with for years: a "War Pigs"/"Papa Was a Rolling Stone" mash-up. This is a rough draft:

I stumbled upon this excellent BBC documentary from 2007 "From The Byrds to The Eagles" on the evolution of folk rock & country rock in '60s & 70s with The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, CSN&Y, Gram Parsons, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, etc.  Read program summary here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcfour/music/features/hotel-california.shtml

Watch the full 90-min program on youtube (posted in seven parts, in excellent video quality). Here's Part One:

Peter Green and Fleetwood Mac, circa 1969 in Paris doing "Homework".  Nice rendition.  One of my favorite early J. Geils recordings (especially the Live! Full House version), a cover of Otis Rush tune.

Thanks!  Too bad the camera spends so much time on the beautiful young Paris hipsters, and not enough on the historic work of Green on the famous Les Paul that Gary Moore ended up with.  For me of course, I'm more familiar with the Fleetwood Mac version, from the Fleetwood Mac in Chicago, Vol 2 disc.

oooh, I hate when they do that! 

also, when there's some AWESOME guitar solo and the director has no idea that the guitarist's fret hand is the one we want to see and instead shoots the picking hand, or worse, just nothing related to the solo, loike his "o" face or the crowd.  BAH!
