I'm just now noticing that one pirate who's trying to take all of the tools at 1:30, and I find it hilarious. 😂

I was always a Rock fan and never really liked Country Music until I heard Gram Parsons long after his passing, and he never was better than when singing with EmmyLou Harris. And just as a bonus, Gram tought the Rolling Stones a lot about Country music, especially with his close friend Keith Richards.

An ancestor of mine was involved in the convict uprising, Analsdark, a trooper who chased down an escaped convict on horseback. That's how accurate the story was to the true history of early Australia

Gram was just the greatest. As with Kennedy, you will always remember the moment you heard of his passing. I was fortunate to see the Burritos a couple of times in Scotland in the mid 70's and Chris Hillman in Leeds a few years later but I regret never getting the opportunity to see the greatest of them all.

Jon English wasn't just one of Australia's top rock stars, he was also a fantastic musical theatre performer and actor. Never forgotten and always remembered very fondly with respect.

I've watched this production more than once (on KZbin). It was a rip-roaring success. I must be biased. No other production is so full of fun and energy. Well, maybe there is, but I've not seen it.😍😂😂😂🥰

This looks very much like a recording of my first ever musical when I was just 8! 🤯 What a find! Pirates of Penzance in 1984 at the Melbourne Concert Hall. The cast included Jon English, Simon Gallaher, David Atkins, June Bromhill, Marina Prior, John Wood, Fiona Hallett, Anna Butera , Tom Blair. An AMAZING cast full of the future big names in Australia's musical theatre and live theatre performance industry!

If your criteria for a Gilbert & Sullivan performance is based on the operatic quality of the singing and the merciless adherence to the original production values, then you might enjoy other performances more. The movie production with Linda Ronstadt, Keven Kline, Rex Smith, Tony Azito, George Rose comes to mind. The choreography in "Tara Tara" is especially good. That said, the absolute joy and fun in this performance with the "fourth wall" interactions with the conductor and the audience, the way that Jon English absolutely *owned* this production in every scene in which he appeared, the liberties taken with the way it was "supposed" to be done, these things make this the greatest ever performance of Pirates IMHO.

Some of the modern day streaming channels really ought to pick up all these really great classic TV series like "Against the Wind " - others would be the US series "Roots" and "Centennial" ( called "The Colorado Saga" where I live 😉) . Any other recommendations?
@Bjowolf24 ай бұрын
This great classic Australian TV series was also hugely popular here in Scandinavia, where it has been rerurn several times on Danish TV as well as on some TV-channels in our neighbour countries ( which we can also watch ), so I must have watched it at least 6 times or so 😉 The characters felt so real that you really cared for them and suffered with them in their hardships - as well as wanting to beat certain other characters up 😂 And the wonderful music still echoes in my head to this day, where I will often catch myself humming,, whistling and even singing this theme song / intro tune.

Now listen. I was born in 81. There are pictures of me watching the Pirates of Penzance movie with Kevin Kline when I was a toddler. I have seen that movie probably more than a hundred times and basically have it memorized. I’ve seen it live a few times but always, always there was only one Pirate King for me and that was Kevin Kline. That’s still true but you have to realize how absolutely fabulous Jon English is in this role for me to even have enjoyed watching him in it not just once but I continue coming back just to see Jon.

If he hadn't od'd first, he would have taken Emmylou down with him and we would have lost a greater talent with her head screwed on straight.

I don't think she would ever have gotten into drugs and booze. She's a strong woman. I think it's quite possible she could have helped him stabilize his life. She thinks so too.
