Heute mal wieder #AmericanPie I & II gerewatched ^^

I rarely get enthusiastic about the shows that I go to - they are chosen by my wife and I go along.
But tonight was one of the best shows I've been to in a very long time.

It was 'Inside American Pie' by a small group of musicians and storytellers from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
This was at Curve in Leicester.

This was a musical documentary about the meanings & histories of & around the Don McLean song American Pie.

There were words, of course, but some fabulous retakes of songs from the era that the song references.
If particular note were a re-imagining of the worst Lennon song ever - 'Imagine' which actually gave it some soul & an amazing rendition evoking Janis Joplin.
I was blown away how they segue'd Sympathy For The Devil into Gimme Shelter.

If this is small town Canadian music - give me more!

If you're anywhere near Leicester and tickets are available, just go.

"Vincent" (also known as "Vincent (#StarryStarryNight)") is a song by #DonMcLean, written as a tribute to #VincentVanGogh. Its commonly known opening lyric, "Starry, Starry Night", is a reference to Van Gogh's 1889 painting #TheStarryNight. McLean wrote the lyrics in 1970 after reading a book about the life of Van Gogh. It was released on McLean's 1971 #AmericanPie album; the following year, the song topped the #UKSinglesChart for two weeks.

The boys grab a slice of rock mythology, decode eight-and-a-half minutes of cultural bewilderment, and use the scientific method to conduct an autopsy on the corpse of Don McLean’s 1971 folk-rock campfire epic, “American Pie.” #podcast #americanpie #rock #donmclean https://open.spotify.com/episode/1FgcHGifN2iPhsfZTgnw00
