Try thinking of the last successful theatrical concert film with an adult audience - not tweener stuff like Swift, Beiber, Hannah Montana or a Wacko Jacko Dancing Corpse.

After the filming of “The Last Waltz” Martin and Robbie destroyed every camera in the world and threw all the remaining filmstock in to a volcano so that no concert film, or any film, could ever be made again.

No questions whether or not he had & still has a good stand up act. The problem is that NBC seem to have him on a tight leash when he's on camera. He's shared a couple political opinions of his on his show that made my jaw drop. I'll get railroaded on this forum if I get specific as per forum rules. Many have also complained that he doesn't have much of personality beyond work. He's more relaxed in his car video blogs on NBCs website, but I get no insight into him. I also found it interesting that he has no interest in owning the show or past episodes like Carson and Letterman/Ferguson. Good they got LL before he died. I think Janie Hendrix has a relationship with GW, so Mitch Mitchell may have been on a tight leash. MM had few precious but fascinating insights in his book from the 80's - like how the Woodstock band got worse the more than rehearsed for some reason, and his opinion as why Noel was fired from Fat Mattress even though he gave them all their career breaks. Another person who could be in the Beatles Mojos is a Patti Boyd interview now that she put her book out. Have a couple Beatlefreaks brainstorm some great questions for her. Depends how well the final run sells. For those that wonder about how they have kept so well beaved this tour? Let's just say that the click track on many songs was Sting's idea, keep Stew on a tight leash. I got the impression that Sting had Stew on a bit of a leash that tour. Especially when it came to locking the drumming to some backing tapes. And revoking his blogging priviledges after the opening city. Money and attentions were Sting's motivation. I also think he knew he couldn't wait longer, like the CREAM reunion where they are just too old. How much is click tracked? Pretty sure Sting had Copeland on click for much of the show just to keep him on a short leash. Larry Mullen has a most of u2 show clicked as well. Yes, some of it has t odo with production, extra backing tapes and the light show. Charlie Watts and Max Weinberg(Lars too?) show that most of a full production rock concert can be done without click. Watched some Seattle and Hollywood videos and left with some very mixed feelings. Great to see them back but I anticipate some old criticisms about live gigs to return. For comparison I watched some Rundgren/New Cars live clips and Easton was allowed to go "off-leash" a bit more which made a big difference. Also, 75 minutes is a bit skimpy for a band with 7+ albums. Van Morrison has longer shows. I wonder if Ronnie will be on a tight leashJon Stewart generally does just that - give very interesting guests a long leash to explain some fairly complex topics. NBC tightly control what clips are on youtube. Some think late night interviews went downhill around the time Carson went from 90 minutes to 60. There's weirdly few outlets for quality 1 on 1 interviews that go into depth on a topic. It's weird that none of the show sit down with anyone for longer than 12 minutes on TV. Studios and PR agents also seem interested in keeping their stars on a tight leash. I'm still perplexed that Conan kept the 3 guest format. He has complete freedom to play with the format and offer viewers/guests longer interviews but stuck to the formula. The things that make Sting's solo career annoying were kept on a tight leash for the Police tour 2007-2008. I'm waiting for an interviewer to really press Jay on some of the specific issues and see if he can still play the "just regular guy" game. Interviewers must be on a tight leash.Was Copeland allowed to go "off-leash" on the Synchro tour? Pretty sure all of the reunion tour had him tied to a click. Any clips where sparks fly or Clapton decides to go "off leash"? The show surpassed my expectations and I honestly have nothing to complain about. Might swap around the setlist order a bit for better flow, but that's only making a great show slightly better. BG was on his best behaviour and the "diva" moments were on a short leash. His off hand remarks were mostly funny rather than "WTF?" Similar outfit as night 1, but a silver undershirt thing going down to his knees - if anything Mickey had him beat in the outfit department. Had a long conversation with the guy who was blocked on twitter by BG and posted a couple pages ago in this thread. if I wasn't passing out in 5 minute4s I'd look up his name. They are travelling with a modest light rig and there are 13 musicians onstage. Core 4, keys, extra guitar, tito puente guy, 3 brass and 3 backing vox. Mickey talked to the early birds before doors opened. Fans asked if Moss coulod at least do a smile & wave at his shows he's not playing but it sounds like he's resting. Mickey said LA was the earliest he'd appear. David appreciated it, but I think the choices were more Paul Shaffer and the bookers being given a long leash. Never seen a interview where Letterman showed any deep musical knowledge, in fact some of his TV band intros and post performance comments("check out those drums") were nearly identical. Recreating the mono debut ix from 4 track stems does have some genuine potential. Depending if Botnick can be kept on a tight leash. Gabrels has been serving songs very well with The Cure on tour for quite a few years now, though it's all other parts by previous guitarists(minus a couple songs sometimes played. Question remains if it's The Cure keeping him on a tight leash, Bowie pushing Gabrels to be "in your face" on most songs or changes in his life after the Bowie/RG period ended. Is anyone actually asking for Sorum? Who knows if Adler can ever do a 2-3 hour show ever again. Though a 20-30 minute cameo every night with him on a tight leash would be a big deal. I think some of it has to due tacky comments about his gruff voice or his "name that tune" singing at shows the past couple decades. Someone like TOOL are militant about no filming at shows, like Bob, yet Tool don't bother doing much about live clips on YouTube. Van Morrison/Eagles/Garth/Bryan Adams/Jimi/Dylan seem to be the anti youtube acts right now. Prince was on the list but the estate have given fans a much longer leash, though some stuff still vanishes. Zeppelin was tough to find for a few years, then they did a 180. The 1997-2015 FM tours had very fixed set lists. Lawyers/management may have been involved and everyone's role onstage explicitly defined. LB can't just go off leash and throw in a 4 minute guitar solo on a whim. Stevie signed off on those set lists and uses them as vocal break rest stops and maybe wardrobe change. At best the complaint is whether he's serving the concert or "show boating" too much. I didn't laugh at any sketches. I'm still loyal to Desk and the music, even if it's way off my radar. I put blame on the writers being put on a tight leash by NBC on topics they can't talk about. Major events on US soil, but instead we get game show sketches. 1) "Tracks 2" is more lucrative spread over 6-8 different projects 2) Bruce has only written about 6-7 new songs in the past decade which is the big difference between Bruce Bob and Neil. He needs T2 to pad out albums like Letter To You. Nearly all of Western Stars was written before Wrecking Ball. 3) Bruce "overthinks" everything. Bob/Neil give their archive teams a long leash. I think Densmore gave them a long leash with all the tacky merch and shirts as a counterbalance to not placing songs in tv ads. I think Jon will have his monologues on a tight leash from the studio and will be met with legit pushback from certain media circles who oppose his opinions. His old show would have him go toe to toe with Tucker or Bill O'Reilly. I think that will NOT be repeated. His Daily Show used to have a couple of million viewers nightly. His apple thing was 40,000 viewers by episode 5.

1998 Grammys turned down a Radiohead-Bowie duet because Thom Yorke wasn't considered TELEGENIC enough by producers. RH was still a theatre act during that OK Computer era. Bowie did the smoking Placebo T-Rex 20th Century Boy duet on the Brits soon after. Bowie's inner circle may not have even submitted Blackstar for that award as they HATED the Grammys. I heard a rumour that the obit tribute performance couldn't sue any Bowie recent insiders, full songs, photos or video - so you got Gaga cosplay with Nile Rodgers doing a medley before a painting of his face. Brits with Lorde and his 2004 touring band was 100x better.

The Italian version of SNL aired this 2.5-minute English-friendly sketch last month. NBC wants to play nice as a sitting president appeared on SNL alumni Seth Meyers's very recent 10th anniversary special. His studio is on the same floor as SNL in the 30 Rock building and happened during rehearsals. Colin Jost is also hosting the White House Correspondence Dinner in April.

Non-actor musicians in the Oscars In Memoriam ...
SoundAdvice Are Oprah and TT really connected, or is that just paranoid fantasy? And how is Whoppie involved?
Edit: Never mind -- th' Google informs me that Oprah, a TV host for decades, once interviewed Tina, a celebrity for decades who even was a newsmaker for a time
