Grangur Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Searching for something to answer a question on another thread I found this recording. I'd never heard of this young lady and I was amazed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw7e_qvPgks The clarity of her voice is knockout. What gives you goosebumps? Quote
lowdown Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Funny enough, more likely on the same hunt, same tune, I ran into this.... EDIT: It didn't give me goosebumps, so maybe I should not have posted, but to me, it was an excellent vocal performance.

Grangur Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 I remember standing in the old Wembley Stadium, watching Simon and Garfunkel playing "Sound of Silence". Man, when that dark day comes that we say our fond farewell to Mr Simon. I know I'm going to cry buckets for someone I never met, for the first time in my life. Assuming I'm fortunate enough to still be here. (Note to self: stop being sloppy!! Pull yourself together, man!) Quote

No lust in Jazz Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Goosebumps are my independent of genre measure for whether I like something or not. Quote

[/quote] Colliding with a low flying flock of Geese usually does it for me. In the true spirit of the question however I am getting major bumpage from listening to some of my favourites released in lossless 5.1 formats. David Bowie's Young Americans for example benefits from the greater separation in that I hear lots of extra details that were always there but never really heard before. Roxy Music's Avalon is a stunner in any format but seriously good in surround. Dire Straights' Private Investigations' title track raises hairs on my goose bumps. I could go on. Quote

The same tour as the Concert in Central Park album? If so, I was there too. What a night. I saw him about 5 years ago, just as he'd turned 70, I think. Still very excellent.

bassbiscuits Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower" does it for me - its one of the most atmospheric sounding recordings ever. Mark Knopfler's "Sailing to Philadelphia" is up there for spine-tingling, tasteful, sparse playing. On the other end of the scale, Queen's "The Show Must Go On" gives me shivers - such a great vocal performance, especially knowing he's dying. Quote

Great night. I watched them while standing next to Jonathan King; back in the days when you didn't know any better! Quote
Graham Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 First time I heard this, it literally sent shivers down my spine http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BSHAXpNey0 Quote
Staggering on Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Jackie Evancho will be singing at Trump's inauguration,could be interesting. She is quite well known over here in North America and is maturing into a great singer.There are lots of videos of her performances. Bob(in Canada) Quote
timmo Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Dont know about goosebumps, but Reality Asylum by Crass used to give me the creeps. It sounded really evil when i was a kid Edited January 10, 2017 by timmo Quote
Barking Spiders Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 On an obvious note Barber's Adagio For Strings gets me all choked up as does the first few minutes of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSRYvYN1ayw Quote

Count Bassy Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 And it's "The Weavers Answer" by Family, goose bumps and shivers every time. This should be classed as one of the all time great songs, up there with Bohemian Rhapsody etc, except hardly anyone knows it. Quote
interpol52 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Good thread! The intro guitar part to this always has the goose bump effect on me. http://youtu.be/iIluBvQ77Bk And on a complete and random tangent so does the string part at 2.45 in this. I remember it being on the radio in the car and the hairs on the back of my neck standing up, I'm not even a massive fan of the rest of the song. Strange. Sugababes on basschat, whatever next. http://youtu.be/wo07t6XjNO4 Quote
TheGreek Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Nice catchy tunes but the last verse just blows my mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFMNZXWavmQ and the vocal on this is amazing - listen to the lyrics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue3SPjsXgdI Quote
lowdown Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Aaron Copland: Fanfare For The Common Man. Been done to death over the years and at times, sounding like a funeral march. As one YouTube poster said. "If this don't give you Goosebumps, you must be dead"..... Just an opinion of course. This is a particularly good performance. http://youtu.be/0KxMc_tyQBo Quote
