I stumbled across this wonderful recording (especially if ones computer's sound system comprises woofers and a sub-woofer).

ITEA Conference, Sapporo Japan (1990).

Re: Moondance (1990)
I was craving a re-listen to this and can't find it anywhere.
Looks like the video was pulled from YouTube. Did anyone have the foresight to save it?

Re: Moondance (1990)
I had a chance to perform this piece this summer, playing the bottom line. Any idea where the video went?
Hirsbrunner 392 CC
Wessex Berg F
Besson 794 BBb
A bunch of non-tubas that'd make this signature too long

Re: Moondance (1990)
One has to wonder why the original video was pulled.
Brainstorming possible reasons:
Perhaps the Harvey Phillips estate legal machine requested it?
Summit Records requested it?
ITEA requested it?
I personally found the video a positive part of the listening experience and would hope that the motivation was not purely financial. Whatever the reason, I would hope an effort would be made to preserve and make available the original video.

I like this collection of sentences as much as it is possible for me to do so.the elephant wrote:Yeah, I dislike tuba recitals, too. I am not adept at giving them since I detest practicing such *music* on an instrument designed as a background instrument. And TubaChristmas® is a massive turn-off for me ever since I was approached to fork over a ton of money to sponsor one in 1993. It is all about the holly-jolly dollar.

Either this video is mis-labeled OR it's a different recording from the one at the top of this thread.Stryk wrote:Audio, but no video:

The original video featured Deck on the bottom part.
Not to beat a dead horse BUT I really wish we could see this performance video.

Only still image from that performance that I can find.
Harvey performed beautifully.
