""(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is a song by the English rock band the Rolling Stones. A product of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards' songwriting partnership, it features a guitar riff by Richards that opens and drives the song. The riff by Richards is widely considered one of the greatest hooks of all time. The song's lyrics refer to sexual frustration and commercialism.
The song was first released as a single in the United States in June 1965 and was also featured on the American version of the Rolling Stones' fourth studio album, Out of Our Heads, released that July. "Satisfaction" was a hit, giving the Stones their first number one in the US. In the UK, the song initially was played only on pirate radio stations, because its lyrics were considered too sexually suggestive.[3] It later became the Rolling Stones' fourth number one in the United Kingdom.
It is one of the world's most popular songs, and was No. 31 on Rolling Stone magazine's "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list in 2021. It was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1998. The song was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2006." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(I_Can%27t_Get_No)_Satisfaction
"Vesperata is an event that exudes the substance of Diamantina's musical soul, a spectacle with its origins in the musical practices of the 19th century and which today is recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais and a symbol of tourism and culture in Brazil, already awarded by the Ministry of Tourism for promoting the Cultural Sustainability of Diamantina.
This open-air concert is made up of music bands, whose musicians position themselves on the balconies of the colonial mansions on the traditional Rua da Quitanda, in the historic center of Diamantina, which generates a nostalgic atmosphere with musical performances that cover different styles, from classical songs to Brazilian popular music.
The Vesperata show provides an immersive sound experience that enchants and brightens the eyes of those who attend it, in addition to being added to the cultural and gastronomic aspects of the region. The presentations take place on Saturdays, according to the current calendar, but the schedule is from Friday to Sunday with complementary events." - https://minhasgerais.com.br/diamantina-e-regiao/vesperata-em-diamantina/

"MR. BIG Announces March/April 2024 European Farewell Tour
MR. BIG is putting on its signature top hats and old shoes one last time for a worldwide tour, aptly titled "The BIG Finish". Since the band's original drummer and co-founder, Pat Torpey, lost his battle with Parkinson's disease in 2018, MR. BIG now feels it's time to mark the end of this chapter of the group's legacy.
Following MR. BIG's run in Japan and Southeast Asia over the summer, the band brings "The BIG Finish" to Europe next March and April that will see a set spanning their career, including a performance of their classic breakthrough album "Lean Into It" in full." - https://blabbermouth.net/news/mr-big-announces-march-april-2024-european-farewell-tour
"THE BIG DESTINATION TOUR 2024
“I am the one who wants to be with you”!
Anyone can probably sing along to this line of lyrics from the global hit “To Be With You”. The accompanying album LEAN INTO IT received a total of 5x gold and 3x platinum and is considered a later milestone for AOR.
With Mr. Big it wasn't and isn't just the excellent songs, because in addition to “To Be With You”, everyone also knows “Alive & Kickin'”, “Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy” and “Green Tinted Sixties Mind”. “. “, but also the almost extraterrestrially good musical performances of the individual musicians. Bassist Billy Sheehan and guitarist Paul Gilbert are true luminaries on their instruments, and drummer Pat Torpey was too until his untimely death. Eric Martin's unmistakable grating voice towers over it.
Luckily the band found an equivalent replacement for Pat Torpey. Nick D’Virgilio will take over the position. He became known in the scene through his brilliant work on Spock's Beard. His advantage: Not only can he drum, but he sings just as well as Pat Torpey, which can be an advantage if you know the band's songs.
In the spring, Mr. Big will come to Germany for the very last time. And of course the four men don't miss it and play LEAN INTO IT in full length and beautifully. It is therefore advisable to take care of tickets in good time.
“We are very happy to be coming back to Germany. We will be playing the entire LEAN INTO IT album and much more! I look forward to seeing you all!!!”" - https://trinitymusic.de/events/berlin/mr-big
The Mighty Wurlitzer - Europe's largest Cinema and Theatre Organ - Berlin, Germany [ 4k ]

00:00:00 The Mighty Wurlitzer organ
00:01:00 Demonstration - The Mighty Wurlitzer
00:04:47 Second floor instruments chambers
"The Mighty Wurlitzer is one of the largest instruments of its kind on the European continent. Werner Ferdinand von Siemens, the grandson of the company founder, acquired the four-manual instrument in 1929 from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in the USA. The organ has 1228 pipes and more than 200 stops. In addition there is a large number of percussion and effect instruments." - https://www.museumsportal-berlin.de/en/events/demonstration-der-mighty-wurlitzer-theaterorgel-2/
"Werner Ferdinand von Siemens was one of Germany's leading industrialists. He lived in a 72 room villa in Gärtnerstraße 25-32, Berlin Lankwitz, where he already had installed a two manual Christie organ.
He was a real music enthousiast and a fine conductor, too. For his musical ambitions he had built a huge concert hall. There he conducted many times the entire orchestra of the Stadt Opera in a private concert for his friends.
In 1928 he travelled to America and ordered a two manual, eight ranks Wurlitzer organ type 200 special (Opus #2019) from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company.
When this organ was delivered to Germany on January 28th in 1929, he already had ordered (for approx. $85.000,-) a much bigger organ - the four manual, 16 rank Mighty Wurlitzer type 250 special (Opus #2064)!
He sold the Wurlitzer 200 special to the UFA Palast, Berlin's leading movie theatre am Bahnhof Zoo (which was destroyed with the organ by World War II, and was rebuilt in 1956 as the Zoo Palast).
The type 250 special was installed in Siemens' concert hall in August 1929 by Walter Pierce, who had the Wurlitzer franchise for all Europe (see Installation Plan from Marvin E. Merchant for details).
At the end of World War II the villa, the concert hall and the organ became property of the German Reich. The Mighty Wurlitzer survived the war, but was seriously damaged in 1962 by a fire, which was caused by a careless cigarette.
From February 1963 to December 1963 Marvin E Merchant, a Berlin stationed G.I. repaired the organ at his own expense (see Restauration for details).
In 1982 it was given to the Staatliches Institut für Musikforschung Preußischer Kulturbesitz, where it was restored completely and installed in the museum by Eberhard Friedrich Walcker GmbH & Co. in 1984." - http://www.theatreorgans.com/berlin/
"The Mighty Wurlitzer is the crowning achievement of the Wurlitzer Company’s many years of developing cine ma and theatre organs. The »mighty« tone richness elicited from this great work is how it got its name. In the museum itself, one’s eyes initially fall on the horseshoe-shaped console in a white varnish finish offset with gold, from which the organ is put »into operation«. On the second floor, directly above, is the full line of Wurlitzer instruments in three large, accessible rooms: the main chamber, the orchestra room and the solo room. Downstairs, inaccessible to visitors, are the relay stations, an electrical wind machine and the bellows for wind generation. The airflow is fed from there through a canal (conducts) to the organ pipes in the chambers. The Mighty Wurlitzer is, just like the church organ, at first a simple pipe organ. However, using its rows of pipes, called ranks, it is able to imitate specific orchestra instruments. This includes elaborate percussion (xylophone, glockenspiel or marimba harp, with a large drum, snare drum, hi-hat or tom-tom) and an entire array of special sound effects like birds chirping, wind howling, a train rushing by or foghorns. The sheer variety of instrumental sounds and effects initially served as background music to the plot of silent f ilms, its primary function being a cinema organ. Of course, only the owners of large cinemas could afford such a large and expensive instrument – which also required a seasoned player who knew how to use it effectively – while a piano or reed organ sufficed in smaller theatres. However, should the great investment in such a cinema organ actually pay off, it had to carry out other tasks beyond the accompaniment of silent films. These primarily included holding independent concerts. The conception of the instrument as a »one-man orchestra« (unit orchestra) gave it the effortless ability to entertain a large audience in a wide variety of ways with only one player. To this end the player used the myriad technical possibilities offered by such a massive instrument. The majority of sounds and effects, as well as their many possibilities for combination, served to enchant the audience." - https://www.simpk.de/fileadmin/user_upload_sim/Dokumente/Museum/Sammlung/FuehrungsBlaetter_22_GB_pre.pdf

Careless Whisper, George Michael n Wham, Vesperata in Diamantina, Immersive Music Experience Brazil
#vesperata #brazil #immersive
""Careless Whisper" is a song recorded by English singer-songwriter George Michael. Released as the second single from Wham!'s second studio album Make It Big (1984), it was written by Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, with Michael producing the song. Although the song was released as part of Make It Big, the single release is credited to either Wham! featuring George Michael (in North America and several other countries) or solely to George Michael (in the United Kingdom and some European countries)." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Careless_Whisper
"One of the most traditional and authentic events in Minas Gerais
Vesperata has its origins in the traditional musical practices of Diamantina in the 19th century.
When in the period of vespers, musicians performed on the balconies of the mansions to play for people walking in the streets.
And what are vespers?
Vespers is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, which is celebrated in the afternoon, between 3 pm and 6 pm.
Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais
Recognized as an important event of tourism and culture in Brazil, Vesperata was awarded in 2010 by the Ministry of Tourism with the Roteiros do Brasil Trophy, for promoting Cultural Sustainability in the Municipality.
With a repertoire full of good music and different styles, Vesperata is recognized as Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais.
Vesperata in Diamantina 2023
"In Diamantina, you will have the opportunity to watch one of the most beautiful musical shows of the local culture:
The Vesperata that seems, at first glance, to be a serenade in reverse.
Considered a “serenade in reverse” due to the fact that the musicians position themselves at the windows and play for the public on Rua da Quitanda, which is crowded with tables around the conducting maestros.
Each presentation brings together more than a thousand people.
The famous Vesperata de Diamantina, in addition to being a spectacle for the eyes and ears, is a source of pride for citizens of Diamantina.
It is a unique event because nothing compares to the feeling of watching the presentation tasting a good wine, or, if you prefer, the famous cachaça from the North of Minas Gerais." - https://www.pousadadogarimpo.com.br/noticias-do-blog/temporadas-vesperata-diamantina/
