Whistling aside (please!), his dance moves are hypnotic in an Ashley Simpson kind of way.

Try this monumental example of 1967 WIN ~

Bob Dylan.

That is all.

I love it how everyone on music threads act so superior because they dig something up. get over yourselves!

NYRBill: um, that wasn't a "video" it was a lip-sync on TV

Wow, he was MTV 15 or so years before MTV existed!

"I love it how everyone on music threads act so superior because they dig something up. get over yourselves!"

"What music videos were like in 1967"

And some tried to break the mold.

I love the fact that the MONKS did this shiat (the noose-tie, the shaved-head, the weird music) not in the 70s, or 69 or 68 or 67.,,


1965? WTF... talk about avant-guarde, these guys take the cake
/take that Iggy pop

Tribal, squarehead, proto-punk with an hardcore edge.

Amazing for it's time.

Released in 1970, but filmed in 1967 (Warner shelved the movie for 3 years because they thought it was too weird for mainstream audiences and they had no idea how to market it). This scene from Performanceis the first genuine music video.

Just wanted to draw a comparison of live TV then-versus-recently. I caught this on TV about 4 years ago. I enjoyed the performance, never having heard of either artist at the time, but was -blown away- by the camera work.

BorgiaGinz: This scene from Performance is the first genuine music video.

These 4 gentlemen would beg to differ.
