TJB Videos & TV appearances

[wvacampfire]

I very vivdly remember the TV special where the TJB played Quiet Tear (from the Lonely Bull LP) while amongst the dilapidated buildings of Ellis Island (then unrestored) with videos of the immigrants coming to America playing. Does anyone know which special that was and are there videos or dvds of those special available? Thanks! Jeff

That was from "The Beat Of The Brass" TV Special. It went from "A Quiet Tear" to "If I Were A Rich Man", then back to "Quiet Tear" again.

That was fast! Thanks so much. I am on the trail of that show on video and didn't know if that was the one or not. Jeff

That was fast!

That's why we make the big bucks!

Those same images were later used in the VERY BEST OF video with the song "Jerusalem" playing behind it. Pretty effective.

Thanks, sounds like that would be impressive too. Of all their music (which I like) that one sticks out the clearest just because of the imagery that was used.

Just yesterday I was watching the "Jerusalem" version of this imagery and was nearly moved to tears. VERY moving!

Where did you see the Jerusalem version? Is there a video on the TJB other than the 2nd tv show Beat of the Brass?

 

[Mr Bill]

The "Jerusalem" version is on the Japanese Videotape/Laserdisc The VEry Best of HErb ALpert, a video that was released in conjunction with the LP of the same name.

Yes, but it was originally released by A&M U.K. on PAL video tape in 1991. As part of the whole project, the music came out as a CD, vinyl and cassette. The Japanese video tape and laser disc were issued about two years later.
