Title: Welcome to Take 2!
Description: Lookin Back with Taylor


Gypsee - September 20, 2007 04:56 AM (GMT)
Since we are going to be faced with concert and cellcert withdrawal, we thought it would be a great time for the Soul Patrol to look back over Taylor's first tour and see if we could highlight some favorite moments.

Please join us in our Take 2 Look Back at our concert experiences. Each week we will select one song that Taylor performed on tour and post videos of 3 different performances of that song to watch and discuss. As a little something extra, we will be posting an MP3 download of a live performance from one of the venues featured. Please share your memories of hearing this song live, from a cellcert, which of the 3 versions we've chosen you like best and why, any special memories you have of the song. We'd also love to hear your opinions on why you think Taylor chose this song as part of his tour.

If you have a favorite performance of this song we didn't choose, PLEASE share that video with us and let us know why it's your favorite. We'd love to see pictures these 3 performances make you think of too.

Taylor may be out of sight for a while working his creative genius, but he won't be far away or really gone. After all, his talent is definitely a LONG TRAIN RUNNIN!

A major thanks to all the video filmers for their hard and wonderful work, and for sharing these with the TMO server. Your efforts will be put to good use once again.

Also, a special thanks to Gypsee and the TMO family for hosting this project for us.



Evancol



PS...all of these videos can be found on the TMO server for download under their cities.

Here is the link to our first featured song/video. Check the topic areas for new ones each Friday.

GREAT idea Gypsee!! This is just what the doctor ordered!

Gypsee - September 20, 2007 01:46 PM (GMT)
I also want to add that you will see no credit name by the embedded video. This is because the videos already have their credits on the server and can be found there. Our main purpose is to enjoy and discuss the performances, which is why a group thanks is given here. So thanks again everyone!

:hearts

Great Idea Gypsee. There has been so much media since February that I don't think I had the chance to see it all. This is a way of catching some that might have been missed.

Whooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo

Here we go..............

Gr8fulheart - September 20, 2007 10:50 PM (GMT)
I agree 100%! Fabulous idea! My head has been swimming with trying to catch up on all that is available to us here, so this gives me another chance to rewind & catch it on my second time through. :cheer
Thanx again Gypsee & to All who made this available. :P

megs22 - September 20, 2007 11:31 PM (GMT)
Awesome idea gypsee :) How are you? :) I haven't talked to you in a while...

jonibug - September 21, 2007 03:34 AM (GMT)
Agree with everyone....this is a fantastic idea. I just happened to pop in here tonight and found this. I'll certainly be back for the next round. It's really nice to compare performances "side by side" so to speak, and especially nice as Taylor never duplicates any performance!

istersay - September 21, 2007 08:12 AM (GMT)
Awesome Idea, I put a link to this thread at IDF in Taylor's forum. ;)

Gypsee - September 21, 2007 12:42 PM (GMT)
Thank you, istersay!

spanishfan - September 21, 2007 12:43 PM (GMT)
That is a fabulous idea. I especially am fond of the performance he gave at Jones Beach, opening for Earth Wind and Fire. I actually got to meet him after admiring him and his music for over 2 years. He is a delightful man and so gracious. He has come such a long way since American Idol that is for sure and I cannot wait for his new material.

Gypsee - September 21, 2007 12:45 PM (GMT)
Thanks, Spanish. Be sure to view our video song for this week, "Somehow" and give us your take on the three different performances, which you like best and why :)

cydter - September 21, 2007 05:42 PM (GMT)
Gypsee we will be linking
this thread to Taylor's Angels!
This will be a great project
for all of us to participate
in!

Gypsee - September 21, 2007 05:45 PM (GMT)
Gosh thank you, cydter! This is evancol's original idea and we have worked on a format for it for a while now, and am so glad to put it into play :)

Please let people know to visit the actual featured song of the week topic so they can leave their comments and opinions. This is the intro...but the actual video threads are the fun part. ;)

AgingHippie - September 21, 2007 11:01 PM (GMT)
Great idea that is much appreciated - maybe this will inspire me to clean up the black hole that is my external hard drive :blink:
you and Evancol make a great team ! !

will take this over to the NESP folks

tishlp - September 22, 2007 12:39 AM (GMT)

I watched the video for dancing queen on utube and loved it:)

Gypsee - September 22, 2007 05:10 PM (GMT)
Awww...."Dancing Queen" was a GREAT vid, but for this particular forum, we are going to focus on the videos Evancol presents for discussion. So....have fun and add your views to our video this week..."Somehow."
:hearts

megs22 - September 23, 2007 05:05 AM (GMT)
sorry to get off the subject...

Gypsee - September 23, 2007 05:21 AM (GMT)
No problem :) I hope you enjoy the videos and discussion. :lilheart

PayTheDevil - September 23, 2007 06:39 AM (GMT)
Interesting idea.

I'll keep checking back.

megs22 - September 24, 2007 04:46 AM (GMT)
Since I didn't have a chance to go to one of the shows during the tour,Im excited to see videos from the tour:)

TaystheOne - September 25, 2007 06:26 AM (GMT)
Thanks so much Gypsee for this awesome idea!!! :guitar :hearts Just what the doctor ordered, indeed!! :clap

Gypsee - September 25, 2007 01:34 PM (GMT)
You are quite welcome, but the credit for the idea itself goes to evancol. She brought it to me and now here it is!

Make sure check back this Friday for our new video for discussion and keep looking for the mp3 download of "Somehow" to go with this one soon
:)

Gypsee - September 29, 2007 06:12 PM (GMT)
Check out our new weekly videos and discussion song...SoulThing!

SoulThing Video Discussion

sallyannlady - November 22, 2007 10:19 PM (GMT)
Hey there. Are we not getting any more videos? The last one was Lowdown on Nov 12. I really enjoy the discussions, and hope you're going to post some more.

Gypsee - November 23, 2007 04:11 AM (GMT)
Yes we are definitely doing them, but this is a holiday week and I am sure evancol was wrapped up in that. Check more toward the weekend or perhaps Sunday. We enjoy this too much to stop...:)

sallyannlady - January 9, 2008 02:32 AM (GMT)
I really really enjoyed the discussion here, and I'm sad that it looks like this has gone the way of the dodo....extinct. Any chance of reviving this again sometime soon?

Gypsee - January 9, 2008 02:37 AM (GMT)
I am hoping for that, but since this was evancol's project and not mine, we have to wait for her to revive it, if she is going to. It is a great thread!
