Tell you what I haven't seen for yonks and that's "Blight of the fumble bee by Ripsyercorsetsoff, played by James Galway! I used to get a headache trying to keep up with his eyes!
Got a recording of the American trumpet player Wynton Marsellis playing that, and doing it all in one breath!
He's not too bad is he Dave. Got loads of his stuff, and he goes across the whole spectrum too. He plays great Blues. You should hear him playing 'Moto Perpetuo', it's on the same album called 'Carnival'. That is even more impressive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju4QVPPhc6Q spot the breath...if you can.

Another 70's masterpiece: [video=youtube;23VdAJuEU1Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23VdAJuEU1Y&feature=related[/video] Last time I watched them, they had to carry Roger Chapman on to the stage and wedge him against the amps. Excellent stuff.
Perhaps my favourite band ever, provided the musical backdrop to my college/uni days... [video=youtube;umwQG7fue84]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umwQG7fue84[/video]
The Doors were just incredible weren't they? [video=youtube;A7DRq7_5sQs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7DRq7_5sQs[/video] Revisiting Squeeze at the moment.
