The Pee Wee Herman Show 10/31/10 Stephen Sondheim Theatre - New York City

Photobucket

Its Halloween and It's Pee Wee Herman LIVE And on the Same Day.

The policy at the Stephen Sondheim theatre is NO PHOTOGRAPHY (and Rightly so) but I popped this one off pre-show with my cellphone camera right before shutting her off (see above). This is the view from the Second Row !!!!!. Christ, What an Experience.

With tears of joy in my eyes I sat dumbstruck and in gleeful awe of the Pee Wee Herman playhouse and its denizens.

I now Love Chairy with all of my heart and truly appreciate the genius of the Pee Wee character with new vigor and reverence.

Electric Light Orchestra - Live/The Early Years DVD

Photobucket

It becomes easy to lose sight that ELO at the heart of it is a simple Rock and Roll band (albeit flavored with violin, Moog synthesizer and 2 cello's) due to the fact of the lush orchestration and attention to detail that Jeff Lynne productions have taken on (and which is why we love them so much) once he was afforded the time needed to exercise perfection.

The band is completely on the money but in very much the Chuck Berry meets Beethoven strain that they created as a group just prior to "A New World Record", Due to copyright terms (I guess Eagle Vision didnt want to spend the extra money) the U.S. release of the ELO Live DVD omits 2 performances of "Roll Over Beethoven" and 1 "Day Tripper" which would have cemented the Berry Beethoven link even further. Great to see the band Rocking Out before things became grander on all scales and I am hoping we get to see some more of post 1976 ELO on video in the future being a fan of the Grand Scale works as well.
