This video is one of the first improvisational videos that Elvis had taped for the public to view and is a great watch for all Elvis fans. You get to see Elvis behave his as himself. All the stories we hear of Elvis being a big joker and having everybody in splits is proved by this casual video. He introduces his band with the roles they played from his early career and then sings for the audience the first song they had ever recorded; a rhythm and blues number called “That’s all right little mama”.
This video is of a rare kind where the instrumental biggies, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass orchestrate on a beachfront. The effect is magical, and the video dates back to long before the advent of MTV, and thus a video like this was revolutionary and beautiful. It belongs to Herb Alpert’s 1967 album “Singer” and has become one of the timeless tunes of all times. The performance has the kind of effect that Alfred Hitchcock’s Rebecca would have on the audience; surreal yet pretty with the waves and the rocks and the high notes.
This video is part of the band’s performance for the show “From the Basement” where they performed some of their best songs from “In Rainbows” and some of their older hits also. The song that front-man Thom Yorke plays in the video is “Videotape”, a beautiful song which follows the same trend of the rest of the album, which Yorke described to be “seduction songs”. This one however is a simple yet soulful piano ballad. The lyrics are beautiful and the easy video captures it perfectly. There is no doubt why the album won two Grammys in 2009.
