pitboy06 Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Does anyone have or know where I can find Velvet Knights 1993: Kartoon Klassics. I sounds like a really cool show and I would like to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBob Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Kazaa? I mean-- DCI sells CDs of "old shows" like '93. Buy all of '93 so you can hear Phantom and (oh man) Star from that year, as well. You'll wet yourself. Wait... VK didn't make Finals that year. Well, buy it anyway. Star's outta this world (no pun intended). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H. Turner Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Does anyone have or know where I can find Velvet Knights 1993: Kartoon Klassics. I sounds like a really cool show and I would like to hear it. It WAS a really cool show that year. I remember going to the 25th Anniversary party for VK that year, as being one of several speakers that sort of warmed up the crowd for the KEYNOTE speaker, our very own Mike Boo. But in any case, the horns and drums for VK performed their opener for us that night...and I was blown away. Too bad the visual program didn't work out very well...but what a hornline!!

Cainan Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 PLease do not ask for mp3 recordings on DCP. DCI sells CD's from that year and I would strongly suggest that you get a CD there (legally I might add). In any case I am moving this to the historical forum.

ffernbus3 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 You might check with Charlie Groh over at Impulse! to see what he has in his vast collection of VK materials. We finally got him a '71 so I think his VK historical recordings are pretty complete by now. Tell him Ron Housley sent ya......he'll charge you double!

flammaster Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 If Velvet Knights could produce a Boxed set of Recordings i would be One who would buy it! I have Been Rockin out to the 85 show lately. What is the term for the horns playing in sort of a Circle in the second to last number? (right after the Mello solo I guess). VK has really had some great hornlines! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffernbus3 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 ...and some great horns thanks to Kanstul. Even back in the late 60s the Velvet Knights brass sound was a lot more orchestrally legit ...especially when compared to those Getzen horns that the rest of us had to play.

I don't get the question...are you asking for the name of the song in 85 with the great mellophone solo? That would be Don Ellis' (Strawberry Soup man) "Final Analysis" with the ending that never ends. But I don't think I get the question...would love to answer it though. I was THERE in 85!!! Woooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo -- you gotta LOVE Peter Gunn!!! b**bs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woooooooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooo -- you gotta LOVE Peter Gunn!!! b**bs Man, not only did the song never end, but the drill never ended! In fact it seemed that our rehearsals never ended...but that's what it took to put on a convincing act like we did! Perhaps my favorite opener of my time with VK - Peter Gunn! and then the colorguard shot us with machine guns! Remember our smoking visual? B) NBC Chimes Festival, the finale was at 210! Final Analysis? Not easy, and never "final" Drum Solo with all those flourescent cards? Jeez! Yeah, that 85 show was terribly underrated.

Cop Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I can't get enough of 1988 VK, I just got the Video for VK and had only seen it live way back when.... WOW! was that a great drum corp, that guard was better then BD and did way more then Phantom (who won guard). I had no idea that were that ahead of the game!
