Last Waltz Fashion

rachaelrice — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:55:17 +0000

I took some photos at a tribute concert called The Next Waltz at the Alberta Rose Theater in Portland, Oregon last week where my man Dan Haley sang This Wheel’s on Fire (Bob Dylan/Rick Danko). The cool thing about the show was that they played EVERY SONG from that concert, not just what you see on The Last Waltz Scorsese movie ~ which if you haven’t seen, you should immediately!

So many that night dressed like the original performers; I think we were all scouring Good Will stores trying searching for 1976 duds. After a lot of internetting and geeking out on the 70′s vibe, I took a bunch of photos. And I’m blown away by the similarities! Here’s my own little visual tribute to The Last Waltz, which includes the poster I made of my last show in Vermont.

Here are some photos and photo collages based on The Last Waltz, and taken from The Next Waltz. Hard to tell which are the newer photos!

I want to dress like Joni 24/7

Dan Haley

The Band and the other band...and Jeff Roseberg as Van. Priceless.

Adam East as Neil Diamond - nails it.

So Dan Haley, Noah Hahn and I are out in PDX playing some shows as a trio…mostly as “Mister Casual” at the Laurelthirst Public House but also some Cosmic American stuff thrown in here and there. We’re packed in a VW bus which just today ran out of gas, so we got in a different VW bus to get to the gig. The schedule is here:

psychedelic retro vintage rock posters

i will always love retro psychedelic rock and movie posters.

but Tadanori Yokoo took it to a whole nutha level:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer concert poster, 1972

Movie poster: "The Trip" with Peter Fonda, 1968

i mean, how crazy are these? i love the how the registration is deliberately off, like in those turn-of-the-century offset screen prints or the WPA propaganda posters from the 30′s and 40′s.

"The Trip", 1968

[and is it just me or does the woman in this poster totally look like Marie-Louise Parker?]

"Cochin Moon", 1978

pretty sure they were done without Adobe Illustrator. this gives me hope.

sheet music art

got a bunch of old sheet music and liked the vintage looking fonts and stuff…so I spray-tacked them to some scrap pieces of foam core and thumbtacked them on the walls of our music room:

above the piano, on either side of a piece made by sandra mudge (i could devote several posts just to her work)

it's hard for me to find cd's so i made alphabet cards
