I was thinking Koko Taylor, who I saw in 1994 and she had a little trouble moving around the stage so I assumed she was in her 70’s. But nope, just looked up her birthdate and she was 66. Still might be my oldest though.
My brain ties itself in knots listening to that with one ear and finding the originals with the other. Freaking diabolical. Do more, do more!
My record is almost certainly Ahmad Jamal--my wife & I saw him in 2020--a few months prior to his 90th birthday.
Miles is probably my all-time favorite musician. This soundtrack isn't his most important or influential work, but it's atmospheric and cool as hell, and the fact that he just watched the movie and improvised a soundtrack on the spot is amazing. (There were a few songs where he did 2, 3, or even 4 takes, but most of the soundtrack is first-take stuff).
I saw John Jacob Niles when he was 80 or 81. I was 8, it was my first ever concert. Oldest though? My aunt, who I saw two years ago at 90. She solo'ed mass on Christmas Eve. She was a good cellist back in the day, finally got to her mountaintop with the Denver Philharmonic, though I think it was called something else, back in the 70s.
With the possible exception of Living Color's (the show, not the band) parody of MC Hammer, this might be one of the funniest ever. Key and Peele with a great tribute to the psychedelic soul bands from the 70s.
Key told Jordan Peele about how football players say their names and schools and laughed how one player was named D'Brickashaw Ferguson. He was on the Jets. Peele came back a short time later with a bunch of names for the East/West Bowl sketches.
I thought this would be the starting line ups, not the rap show down. The line-up sketch came out when I was teaching Jr. College football players. Alas for the one white kid in the class, he looked a lot like "Dan Smith, BYU." That, and variations on that, became his nickname until he used up his eligibility and transferred (to New Hampshire, IIRC).
Meh, everyone's seen that a million times. We actually did this in youth football after practice. Name, position and the street we lived on.
The caption on this was something like “this is what happens when you water your tree from Lake Minnetonka.”
