Title: Re: does it get better than this? Post by: Don't Back Down on July 23, 2006, 10:06:09 AM Man, sounds like a performance directly from the '60s, which obvisouly is what they're going for. Diggin that fat bari sound. Thanks for sharing!

Now...no, not by much. Great to see and hear. Title: Re: does it get better than this? Post by: Ron on July 24, 2006, 01:49:42 PM When I was a kid, I used to watch all these pbs specials on television with my dad... and they would parade out all these 60's groups or singers like Brenda Lee or the Tokens or Jerry Lee Lewis or Peggy Marsh.... and on two or three shows, Darlene Love showed up and stole the show everytime. Incredible performer.
I've seen her on Letterman doing this song about 3 times, gets better each year. Title: Re: does it get better than this? Post by: Reverend Joshua Sloane on July 24, 2006, 06:28:28 PM Great.
Title: Re: does it get better than this? Post by: donald on July 31, 2006, 02:14:38 PM I couldn't access the youtube site from this computer but I gather you're talking about Darlene Love's annual performance of Christmas Baby Please Come Home on the Letterman show.
You're absolutely right. It gets no better than that. They've done this going on 15 years, more or less. Each year there are different background singers and the Bari player always offers up a surprise....dressed as santa descending from the rafters via cable doing the sax break, popping out of a big xmas package. One year backup singers included Sissy Houston and Phoebe Snow, Last year, or the year before, Elle Greenich (co-writer of the song) sang as part of the back up vocalists. Paul Schaffer always seems to be enjoying himself WAY too much. They practically steal the wall of sound. I tape it every year and it is a big part of the xmas celebration at my house. Be sure to visit the Letterman websight in December to check the date of the performance. Title: Re: does it get better than this? Post by: punkinhead on August 01, 2006, 07:22:01 AM that's awesome, didn't know it had been going that long...paul seems to enjoy himself way too much anytime...i wanna see what he was like during Metal Beach...but I dont know, if i had a basic ripoff of the Wall of Sound at my hands, i'd prolly be real excited too
