At first, I thought what the? But as it played on it got very good, then at 2:42 it lost it again. At 4:25 it almost recovered. Eric Clapton could have saved it at that point with ending Layla solo

Iranian International TV channel for us expats back in the late 70's used to play StarParade....er, ah, well, until this beautiful German girl singing had a tit fall out of her dress. She never stopped singing the song, right on key, and simply reached down to put herself back inside, to everyone's delight in Iran, and completed the song as if nothing happened.
The uninlightened Iranians never showed StarParade again...(c; You'd have thought a bomb dropped on Tehran...

This seems to be the best version on Utube - but it ain't all that great. Some musicians think it's cool to distort the melody or to play things a half-tone off. That's pretty bad. All ths other versions on Utube are Guitar - and this is NOT guitar music.

Great video ... wish I had seen it live back in the day ... it takes me back to days when big bands with a string section were on network TV ... I love that trumpet with the bent-up bell, great for us trumpet players with an overbite ;)
